Does anyone with extremely sensitive skin have a good sunscreen/sunscreen lotion that doesn't bother their skin? Everything I've tried has made my face break out into either terrible acne or a rash. Just thought I'd ask opinions since I can't afford to try every single one.

    I've just started using Simple Vital Vitamin face cream. I thought it would make me break out, since it's so thick, but so far so good (about 10 days). It's SPF 15, so not good for a day at the beach, but great for everyday protection. I need to look to see if they make a sunscreen.

    PS...I use their facewash too.

    I have the same problem and I am now using Cetaphil Daily Moisturizer (SPF 15 & SPF 50 are available). So far so good...been using it for about 2 weeks with no issues.

    Thanks ladies!

    To all three of you: Who carries your product?

    I'm allergic to perfume and don't use products with parabens etc in.

    Lush do some good fash cleansers, and if you have Holland & Barrett then they do face masks and face washes etc.

    I used to use Simple, but the products I was using had parabens etc in, so I stopped using them. I'm unsure about a good (high) SPF, but Simple *do* do products with SPF...

    I use Goddess Garden, it's 86% organic, and uses Zinc Oxide as the sunscreen. Most of the sunscreens out there contain avobenzone which has been found to be toxic and cause cancer.

    Your skin absorbs 60% of whatever is applied to it, so it's not only just sitting on your skin, you are practically ingesting it into your bloodstream.

    Try CeraVe products. They are great an inexpensive. My dermatologist recommends them over any pricey products. He says that and Retin-A and I will be fine!

    You can get in Walmart or any drugstore.

    I've just learned to embrace the burn.... I try to hide under long sleeves and a hood for a long as I can.
    Managed to get my lips burnt recently, somehow, though. It sucks lol.
