As a fair-skinned person, sunscreen is a must for me. But with my sensitive skin, most of the brands I've tried make me break out. Blue Lizard for sensitive skin uses only zinc oxide and titanium dioxide, so I have no problem with breakouts or rashes! I use it everyday - even though it feels a bit heavy, it actually makes a great base for the new mineral powder foundations on my face. It has no offensive odor. My only complaint is the bottle: over time, the paint on the label starts to come off on my fingers! I transferred the product into my own lotion dispenser when this started happening. Also, the price is a bargain compared to other "natural" sunscreens.

I am always looking for sunscreens containing zinc oxide. This was priced right and had the ingredients I was looking for. ONly problem is, this stuff is very hard to apply! I wear sunscreen on my face daily, and my habit is to apply it first thing, after I wash my face in the AM. even if my skin is a bit damp, this stuff will just smear and leave a ghostly cast and will NOT absorb into my skin. So I actually tote it around and will apply it at lunch before i go outside for a walk (and when my skin is drier). This has no odor but I would say it is a bit greasy. I have since used it only for my body and not on my face. The bottle is kind of fun since it changes color when exposed to UV/regular sunlight. Other than that, there's nothing special to say about this.

    Comments about Blue Lizard Australian Suncream, SPF 30, Sensitive, 5 fl oz:

    I use this stuff every day, alone and under make-up. It goes on very rich feeling, absorbs into the skin completely, and I only notice a little zinc 'whiteness' while it's still sinking into my skin. I used to be one of those people who didn't go out in the sun, not anymore. I do not want my skin to age due to sunlight. I only wish I'd found it sooner.

    You probably already know this, but Blue Lizard Sensitive is listed as the #1 sunscreen by dermatologists. I had Fraxel lazer on my face, and my dermo had me use his line's sunscreen post-procedure. He ended telling me to use Blue Lizard Sensitive because he bought the formulary from BL for his sunscreen (SkinMedica Environmental Defense, $40 for 3 oz). I think he figured I wouldn't consistently use that expensive of a product (and he was correct).

    I'm very critical of skin products, but he was right, the BL Sensitive is the best sunblock/screen on the market. Uses physical block instead of those chemical-type sun blocking agents that need to be re-applied because they break down in sunlight. I'm not sure, but I think the non-sensitive BL uses some of the chemical-type.

    It's awesome that you don't have to keep re-applying this stuff when you are wearing make-up. (I suppose if you sweat or rub your face, you'd want to re-apply.)

    The only problem is that it's hard to find in local drugstores, seems to only appear seasonally. Very happy I found drugstore.com.

      Comments about Blue Lizard Australian Suncream, SPF 30, Sensitive, 5 fl oz:

      I've been using this sunscreen for everyday use, on my face and neck only (because that's where my skin is most sensitive). This is the only sunscreen I've found that doesn't sting on my face. It is fragrance free (and doesn't smell bad), and doesn't have any chemical sunscreens. Because it is only physical barrier sunscreens, it does go on quite thick and white, but it soaks in after a few minutes. I do feel slightly greasy with it on sometimes (in humid FL), so I use oil absorbing papers and just gently blot my face, and that takes care of that!
      I wish this stuff came in a bigger bottle.

        Comments about Blue Lizard Australian Suncream, SPF 30, Sensitive, 5 fl oz:

        We went to the beach for a week and I used this on my girl's one who is Hispanic and one who is AA and we LOVED this stuff! It went on well, rubbed in good and did not feel sticky like most sun screens do. We used a sun protection suit with my AA daughter-she is 21 months old but my other daughter wore her bathing suit and you could not hardly see any tan lines and such after being out most of the day (she wore a long sleeve sun protection shirt a couple of hours as well) I usually get some sun posion on my feet but I put this on my feet this time and I did not get any! I have got to order some more to use for the Summer but this is good stuff!

        Comments about Blue Lizard Australian Suncream, SPF 30, Sensitive, 5 fl oz:

        I need to address some of the negative comments about this product. To those who expected it to be waterproof or sweatproof, there are several formulas to choose from .

        I have been using this on my very fair & sensitive skinned child for a few years now & I can't say enough good things about it! Australia has very high standards when it comes to sun care & that's what got me to try it.

        This product will not disappoint!!! :)

              I hesitate to downgrade this sunscreen because it's not waterproof, when it doesn't claim to be. I am just so used to waterproof sunscreen, I just assumed! I am an outdoorsy type and always off doing something, usually in the heat and sweating. This is not waterproof or sweatproof and tends to come off quite easily. Not something I'd buy again.
