When it comes to protecting your skin from the sun, a good sunscreen is essential. Whether you’re going to the beach, out for a run or running errands, sunscreen can help protect your skin from the harmful effects of the sun. However, if you have sensitive skin, it can be difficult to find a sunscreen that works for you. That’s why it’s important to find a sunscreen designed specifically for sensitive skin.
One of the things that I didn’t care about before was sun protection, generally people who live on an island, or even in all types of weather where sunlight is our friend but sometimes for lack of information and self love to our skin we forget to protect it, I was researching around me and asked many people, if they used sunscreen and what brands they used, I realized that this was almost null in their daily routine.
I also realized that many did not use sunscreen because they had very sensitive skin, and could not find the ideal sunscreen for them.
And this is where my curiosity was born to be able to help not only the people I know but also thousands of people who don’t know which one to use or which one is the best for their sensitive skin. In this blog I will share with you the 5 best sunscreens for sensitive skin, what are their benefits and which brands I can recommend to help you.

1. Neutrogena’s Ultra Sheer Dry-Touch Sunscreen
If you have sensitive skin and are looking for a sunscreen with superior UVA/UVB protection, look no further and choose Neutrogena’s Ultra Sheer Dry-Touch Sunscreen. Plus, it’s water-resistant for up to 80 minutes, so you can stay protected all day long.
This I believe is one of the best selling sunscreens in the Ultra Sheer line, its benefits provide you with powerful sun protection you will love, it applies super easy and absorbs easily and quickly and offers an invisible, lightweight feel on the skin. Formulated with Helioplex technology, it offers superior broad-spectrum protection against aging UVA and burning UVB rays.
2. Aveeno’s Positively Mineral Sensitive Skin Sunscreen
Aveeno is one of those brands that will always be present in any skin care, besides having a wide range of sunscreens for every skin type, this incredible sunscreen specialized for sensitive skin cannot be left behind.
Aveeno Positively Mineral Sensitive Skin SPF 40+ Sunscreen Face Milk con óxido de zinc y dióxido de titanio de origen natural para una protección solar superior de amplio espectro UVA/UVB. One of the brands recommended by dermatologists for over 65 years. This sunscreen applies easily and smoothly. It blends very well. It has a nice neutral scent and texture. It is not oily at all.
Aveeno Positively Mineral Sensitive Skin SPF 40 Sunscreen Face Milk if you are someone who is usually on the go I recommend it, because it is available in a convenient travel size for superior sun protection both at home and on the go.
3. EltaMD UV Clear Broad-Spectrum SPF 46
This sunscreen is fantastic. It is very smooth and easy to spread. It moisturizes the skin and never leaves a film. It has no scent (which I love) obviously for those who don’t like products with strong smells it’s a very personal thing. The best thing about this sunscreen is that it doesn’t blend with the rest of my skincare products (serums, spot corrector, moisturizer, etc.) It melts into the skin perfectly.
Yes, and this is one for those with sensitive skin. EltaMD UV Clear is a Dermatologist recommended sensitive skin sunscreen that is sheer, lightweight, and oil-free.
4. Vanicream Sunscreen Sport SPF 35
I think this is also a winner when it comes to choosing a sunscreen if you have sensitive skin, it can’t stay, due to the high positive reviews I saw throughout my search for information for you. (always keep the reviews in mind).
Vanicream Sunscreen Sport SPF 35 is a great brand to consider. This sunscreen is formulated with physical blockers of zinc oxide and titanium dioxide that help protect against UVA and UVB rays, as well as water-resistant for up to 80 minutes. It’s designed to be non-greasy, non-irritating, and fragrance-free, making it perfect for those with sensitive skin. Plus, it comes in a convenient travel-sized bottle for on-the-go protection. In short, Vanicream Sunscreen Sport is a great choice if you’re looking for a brand that offers reliable sun protection and is safe for those with sensitive skin.
5. Blue Lizard Australian Sunscreen, Sensitive
If you’ve been surprised like me, I had never heard of this brand but it’s a resounding YES, you have to buy it. It is highly recommended. Blue Lizard Australian Sunscreen, Sensitive is a top contender. Packed with natural ingredients, it’s free of fragrances, oils, and parabens, and is water-resistant for up to 40 minutes, so you can feel safe in the sun. It has a high SPF of 30+ to protect your skin from UVA and UVB rays. Its unique formula also helps moisturize and hydrate your skin.

Neutrogena, La Roche-Posay, Bulldog and Aveeno are excellent choices that offer great protection and are designed to be gentle on the skin. But keep in mind that even if you have sensitive skin, they all have different types of reactions.
