What brand/type of sunscreen to use on our faces (I have sensitive skin/eyes)?  

Thanks for replyaing, iamamommy,
Yes, I have asked many times. Off top of head, I forget one of the ingredients mentionted, but I had even tried ones without that ingredient and still am sensitive. I usually get all cold symptoms like headache and stinging eyes, andn sometimes might break out a bit. Plus I really don't like the very oily feeling. But I have to try out more; just wish there were more exact ones. I use ones that usually say SENSITIVE SKIN or allergy-free.

Harmonee,
I reallly appreciate your response. I can't remember if I have tried Aveeno over all the years, but that will be helpful, because I will try that one out. I've always gotten ones that state allergy-free or SENSITIVE SKIN, and I get cold symptoms or break out a bit. But headaches and stinging eyes are the main effeect.

I just wish they all weren't so expensive. So I can't afford to buy and waste many brands and compare them. I wish we could get a full assortment of trial free ones to find our matching sunscreen. ;o)

I will definitely looko into the Aveeno for next round. Thank you! :o)

Oopsie-doo, Harmonee,
I just found my squeeze paste type container of Aveeno that I had in my backpack, that I used through the summer and early fall, but couldn't tolerate it for very long. It doesn't say allergy free, but still hurt my eyes, and a bit of a headache. Glad it works for you though.

I hadn't seen one that said allergy-free, when I looked at CVS, but I'll have to search again, maybe online.
Thanks again.

Thanks cyber, for your resposne!
I have not heard of that brand before (or one that sounds like it at least). I'd appreciate if you ever find out what the typical brand and type is. I have asked many times for other recommednations from doctors and they've given general, which haven't helped. Also, haven't worked that well for me. I need one I think that I can wear also every day, 30+ SPF.

I've been to dermatologist also. I am okay with wearing the lotion on very sunny days for when I just step out for an hour or less, and wipe it all off as soon as indoors, but this isn't great, and also symptoms sometimes still last, btu I want one that I can wear throughout the day. Thanks, and please let em know if you know the one the boy wears. :o)

If I am able to track it down, I will be sure to let you know.
It was a clear substance, or a milky white see-through type, SPF 50+.
Not sure if it is the kind you can wear throughout the day but I guess at this point everything is worth trying. Good luck and I'll let you know!

I think I found it!
It's from Vichy, it's called Vichy Capital Soleil. They have one especially for kids but it's available for adults aswell. They have a Vichy Hydra Capitel Soleil facial suncream aswell; I guess it's especially designed for the skin around the eyes and such that gets irritated faster. Hope that helps!

You are wonderful!
Thank you so much. I will definitely put this on my list of things to check. I have never heard of it, so will have to check it out online for locations of distribution and reviews/info.

Thank you so much. :O)

It was nothing, I sure hope it will help you. Skintypes can be so different from one another that I can only pray for you it will help. Fingers crossed, good luck!

Hi again,
thanks again for looking up the sunscreen brand for me.
I am looking for it to try out. But it is so expensive! Hmm, will have to do a lot of searching for discounts first. On amazon.com, and have never seen it in stores, but will keep eye open.

It's on my shopping list now! :o) Thank you, Cyber.

It is expensive but hopefully worth your investment. Let me know if you manage to get your hands on it at a decent price, and how it works for you! All the best.

Hi Paula!
Good to see you again (and the cutie orange graphic I always smile seeing). :o)
Thanks for your response. Oil of Olay, I know sells in local drugstores like CVS here (assuming "Olay" means "Oil of Olay"). A few years ago, I remember they only had 15 spf, as I'd need higher, but will have to take a look. I haven't used their products in several years, as I had light reactions to the regular moisturizer on face with sore eyes. All this feedback is helpful. Thanks. :o)
