Neutrogena burns my sensitive skin. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sunscreen-recommendations-needed#post-1918533 Fri, 11 May 2018 18:40:01 +0000 annagybe 1918533@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like SuperGoop CC foundation with sunscreen. Unfortunately there are only two shades, but the lighter one works great for me. I often get compliments on my skin.<br /> Also Shisiedo has a great SPF 50, but very spendy<br /> I think I need to look into the Japanese Nivea. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sunscreen-recommendations-needed#post-1918503 Fri, 11 May 2018 16:00:33 +0000 Helena 1918503@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Another vote for Neutrogena - I also have rosacea-prone skin, and this one's not too bad, and affordable enough that I don't have to be too sparing with it. I use a Neutrogena moisturizer with SPF under my makeup and keep a number of bottles in my purse for summer. Aveeno brand is another good one for sensitivities that I sometimes use.</p> <p>For my lips, I haven't found anything I don't react to - I use lipstick so I figure that at least covers them somewhat (not scientific lol!) and moisturize them with Aquaphor or coconut oil frequently.</p> <p>I have used a million different types of foundation at all price points and continuously come back to l'Oreal tru-match, which also have an SPF in it.</p> <p>And as a fair-skinned, easily burned person, I am all about hats and lightweight coverage as much as possible in summer.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sunscreen-recommendations-needed#post-1918358 Fri, 11 May 2018 02:36:08 +0000 Jaime 1918358@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I stick to physical sunscreen for my face.

A great place to start! </p> <p>But up until now I’ve used ombrelle. They have a high spf (75 I think) for the face, as well as a stick. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sunscreen-recommendations-needed#post-1918352 Fri, 11 May 2018 01:44:06 +0000 Echo 1918352@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>After Diana mentioned the Japanese Nivea sunscreen last year, I ordered it from Amazon. I've used it ever since. I've NEVER had too much sun with it on, even when I'm out too long without reapplication. It is lighter and less oily than anything I've ever used. It is now the only sunscreen I will wear on my face.</p> <p>I will wear some of the Neutrogena products on my body, but even when their SPF numbers are higher, I still tan and/or burn through them at times, whereas that's never happened with my face. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sunscreen-recommendations-needed#post-1918349 Fri, 11 May 2018 01:39:36 +0000 Anonymous 1918349@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Bye Bye Foundation if I want to even out my skin tone, and Burn Out Eco Sensitive if not. Although of course the companies status could change, both are cruelty free. I haven't had a problem with either.</p> <p>I have very mild rosacea, sensitive skin, and overheat easily. Sunscreen is good, shade is better. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sunscreen-recommendations-needed#post-1918347 Fri, 11 May 2018 01:34:36 +0000 BrieN 1918347@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I also have Rosacea and have tried many brands .<br /> My sunscreen of choice is zinc based with maybe titanium dioxide with a tint so it isn't white. (My current favorite is Cetaphil redness relieving but it's only SPF 20) The zinc actually makes my skin calmer.<br /> No Avobenxone no ostisalate no octocyclene no oxybenzone Etc Etc. I find any of the chemical sunscreens wreck my skin.<br /> I have used the color science mineral product on my part before and it worked well to avoid burning there... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sunscreen-recommendations-needed#post-1918341 Fri, 11 May 2018 00:23:45 +0000 lisaflex 1918341@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>eucerin has a face lotion in the skin care aisle that is 50 spf that works great and the price is nice too </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sunscreen-recommendations-needed#post-1918274 Thu, 10 May 2018 21:34:24 +0000 Carla 1918274@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>THANKS everyone! I've picked up some Neutrogena Sensitive Skin. I'm going to get the Clinique and LaRoche since those are available in my community. It looks like a long summer and DH wants to share so there is the opportunity to give some of the others (that have to be ordered) a try as well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sunscreen-recommendations-needed#post-1918268 Thu, 10 May 2018 21:23:49 +0000 Style Fan 1918268@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have extremely sensitive skin.&nbsp; You look at me funny and I get eczema.&nbsp; I only use mineral sunscreen.&nbsp; I use LaRoche Posay Mineral (make sure it is Mineral) or Clinique Mineral.&nbsp; I have been very impressed with the Clinique one.&nbsp; I was never a big Clinique fan but the sunscreen is very good. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sunscreen-recommendations-needed#post-1918247 Thu, 10 May 2018 20:41:08 +0000 Gigi 1918247@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Another vote for the tinted Skinceuticals (see&nbsp;<b>danusia</b>'s post above). It's very lightweight and doesn't clog my pores--and my pores are easily clogged. It's SPF 50. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sunscreen-recommendations-needed#post-1918246 Thu, 10 May 2018 20:40:01 +0000 Anonymous 1918246@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>RC thanks for this post. With warm weather coming I need ideas for “ sensitives”: great and helpful suggestions </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sunscreen-recommendations-needed#post-1918205 Thu, 10 May 2018 19:22:45 +0000 Suz 1918205@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm so sensitive to sunscreens that for years I didn't use one on my face (terrible, I know, but the reactions were worse!). I could manage one of those "stick" sunscreens on ears, nose, forehead, but that was it. Thank heaven I live in a northern place and was not out in the sun all that much. I do have some sun damage anyway, of course.&nbsp;</p> <p>At last I learned that I can wear this one:&nbsp;<a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.clinique.ca/product/1661/5854/sun/sun-protection/clinique-sun-broad-spectrum-spf-50-sunscreen-face-cream">https://www.clinique.ca/produc.....pf-50-suns</a>&nbsp;</p> <p>It is quite rich and emollient, though, so will not do for those with oily skin. I like it for my very dry skin and layer it over moisturizer. I add the sun stick (usually Neutrogena) for nose and ears etc. as well -- I can carry it in my bag and reapply easily.&nbsp;</p> <p>They also have a new mineral version which I intend to try. But it is more of a lotion so may not be quite as good for me.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sunscreen-recommendations-needed#post-1918202 Thu, 10 May 2018 19:11:01 +0000 Diana 1918202@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I use the Japanese Nivea stuff too. &nbsp;This is the one I have, which is like a lightweight gel formulation, which I really like. &nbsp;(I also apply moisturizer when I use it). I think there's also a more traditional lotion-y type. &nbsp;I buy it from Amazon - just a warning, depending on whether or not it ships directly from japan it can take weeks to arrive. &nbsp;</p> <p>I am allergic to avobenzone, which is in almost all high-SPF sunscreens in the US. &nbsp;(The mineral ones don't have it but they feel like putting plaster on my face.) &nbsp;My moisturizer (Olay sensitive SPF 15) does not have it but is only SPF 15. &nbsp;The Japanese products use other sunblock chemicals that are not available in in the US. &nbsp;There's also a Biore one that a lot of people like. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sunscreen-recommendations-needed#post-1918201 Thu, 10 May 2018 19:03:47 +0000 Molly Mac 1918201@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love Tizo mineral sunscreen. It is slightly tinted so I never need foundation and is very affordable.

The lip balm is hard to find in winter, so I bought a ton of it this spring. It’s nice because there isn’t any scent in it. I use sunscreen every day, even in winter, because it’s so sunny here. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sunscreen-recommendations-needed#post-1918179 Thu, 10 May 2018 17:53:09 +0000 Vix 1918179@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Runcarla --</p> <p>I'm the biggest brand ambassador for the derm-developed Epionce line of skincare and protection, esp when sensitive or rosacea'd. I think lovely skin dot com sells to CA and I buy when 20% off -- but even full-price it's cheaper than most derm lines and with the non-sunscreen stuff a little goes a very long way.</p> <p>Personally with the sunscreen I found the 35 had a slight scent and their new tinted 50 is a little...something for me so I stick with the regular SPF 50.</p> <p>For drugstore, Neutrogena has various lines I like in the 50+ range but they don't work as well under [my liquid mineral] makeup so that's more my "active" hike / beach day choice. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sunscreen-recommendations-needed#post-1918178 Thu, 10 May 2018 17:50:22 +0000 Bonnie 1918178@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Sunscreen,&nbsp;shown below, for when I spend a lot of time outdoors (hiking).
