Vanicream Sunscreen, Sensitive Skin, Spf 60, 4-ounce Review.
"works and doesn't sting" 2007-07-09
By Susan E. MacQuarrie (Belleville, MI United States)
My dermatologist told me to use Vanicream or Neutrogena for my melasma. Neutrogena stings like crazy after using an exfoliator or Retin-A. Vanicream feels like a dream. I have never had any tanning or darkening of spots when I have it on. I have normal to oily skin and it doesn't make me break out. It is a little oily, but only if you lay it on too thick. If you want a matte finish to your face, that's what face powder was made for!
"Heaven sent" 2008-07-09

This is the only sunscreen that I don't have allergic reactions to. I've tried Neutrogena, Aveno, and other hypo-allergenic sunscreens, but sadly I'd break out into rashes a few hours later. A dermatologist recommended Vanicream a few years ago. He even demonstrated how gentle it was by putting it in his eye! He was a little out there, but he proved it caused no irritation.
It has a light scent and doesn't leave white streaks on your skin. It's a little greasy at first, but that goes away as you work it into your skin and as it dries.
If it weren't for this product, I'd probably still be wearing long sleeves and oversized hats in the summer time.
"Light texture" 2007-08-24
By Meg G. (Los Angeles, CA)
I've been using Skinceuticals sunblock for years and I have never found anything better until now. I love the consistency of this lotion, and it's broad protection against both UVA and UVB rays. It's perfect for my sensitive skin, and feel that it is more transparent than other products I have tried. Its light texture and high SPF, and lack of chemicals (or strong scent) is a combination I have not seen in other sunscreens.
"Great Sunscreen" 2008-05-14

This is a great sunscreen. I had read about it online at another website that tests the strength and trustworthiness of sunscreen and this was rated very high.
"Excellent sunscreen for sensitive skin" 2009-03-21
By marmaladefille (California)
My skin reacts to a lot of sunscreens by breaking out in a rash, but I am a redhead and need very high SPF protection when I am outdoors for extended periods of time. This sunscreen does the trick for me when I am hiking and biking, and the physical block absorbs easily and doesn't leave a white film on my face. I don't use it on a daily basis, however (going to work in the city, when exposure is brief), because it does feel a little heavy for that purpose.
