BLUE LIZARD Australian Sunscreen, Sensitive SPF 30+, 5-Ounce

My skin is oily, acne prone, and very sensitive. I wanted a physical sunscreen that had healthy ingredients, would not cause acne, and wouldn't make me look like I put white powder on my face. I also wanted to avoid white powder because I'm allergic to those products. As soon as I came across Blue Lizard for sensitive skin, I thought I had found my salvation. The other reasons I chose this product are that the ingredients are great (check), they have a sensitive formula so chances of irritation are low (check), and online reviews indicate that even though there is a cast you won't look like casper (check When I put today's photo on my face, I really thought I would hit the jackpot. Because the product was so thick, I used a pea-sized amount on my face when I used it for the first time because I was terrified it would Because I did not burn, it has done an excellent job of protecting me from severe sun damage. Although I used a pea-sized amount of sunscreen, I still looked like Casper, no matter how much I used. It broke out into pus-filled pimples all across my jawline and I thought it was caused by my new regimen, so I did not attribute it to it. As a result, the following day I used Blue Lizard again, with a sufficient amount, and looked like I would be a member of the Blue Man Group. As I washed this off, I noticed large cystic acne along my jawline, on my chin, and on the center of my cupid's As soon as I stopped using it for four days, my skin went back to normal. I just had a gut feeling it was this breaking me out. As a precaution, I checked my cdna to see if it was breaking me out. Whenever I put the ingredients to the products in my new regimen, every single one had either a 1 or a 0, meaning it had either a negative or a positive effect on acne/irritation. Despite this, one ingredient (Ethylhexyl Palmitate) in blue lizard had four points in the acne column, which means that this product is The cream may be effective for those who have normal to dry skin, but if you have oily, sensitive, acne prone skin or darker skin, the cream will not be effective.

My friends and I bought this sunscreen before we went diving for a week in Belize. My decision to purchase this product and another brand was based on Amazon reviews and ratings. The website looked like it was in the reef, but I checked several snorkeling and scuba diving websites to ensure it was actually in the reef In the advertisement it is described as "friendly. " With respect to its performance, I was very pleased. Though it took more effort (just a couple of minutes longer) to fully absorb it into my skin than the chemical sunscreen I typically use, neither did I get a sunburn, nor did my skin turn pasty white, nor did I destroy any coral. It is a must for me and all my friends to use Blue Lizard Australian Sunscreen when we go into the ocean.

In the sun for longer than 15 minutes (whether I was wearing sunscreen or not), I would develop a severe allergy reaction that would last several There was an itchy and swollen rash, swelling, and difficulty breathing. Some people are more likely to experience skin damage from a physical (mineral) sunscreen such as this one than a chemical sunscreen. The risk of giving it a try didn't seem too great, so I gave it a shot anyway. That worked, too! There's no way it can be true. For the first time in my life, I won't end up a red, swollen mess for 3 days when I go outside. In the past two weeks, I have eaten lunch almost every day outside, in the middle of all the sunlight, without even feeling a slight There is no guarantee that it will work for everyone with this type of reaction, but it is certainly worth a shot. Note

Tip Shake the bottle first before using and use a little at a time. The only thing you need is a tiny bit of product, so the bottle should last you a while. When you rub it in, it looks chalky, but the whiteness disappears after a minute or two. The moment of white helps me see where I missed places when there is a brief moment of white.

I have been trying to find sunscreen that I'm not allergic to for the past fifteen years of my life (maybe even longer). In a recent appointment, my dermatologist advised me to use this sunscreen since it is a PHYSICAL sunscreen and does not contain any chemicals. Having an allergy to sunscreen and sunlight is what led me to look for the answer so long. I am now so grateful that after so many years I have finally found one. My skin burns when I stay out in the sun for longer than a few seconds during spring and especially during summer times. My clothes have to be long sleeves, long pants, and a hat or umbrella to cover my face. My fear of using this sunscreen stems from my experience with other sunscreens during the past few years. I tested a small amount on the top of my forehead and went out to the beach. The area covered by the pads did not cause furrows, bumps, or redness for me. There's a bit of thickness to the sunscreen, so you have to distribute it I do recommend this sunscreen for anyone who is having trouble finding sunscreen that they don't have an allergic reaction to and those who have an allergy to the sun despite the price of You should try it if you want to protect yourself although it is a bit pricey.
