Aveeno Daily Moisturizer Spf 30? But I’m Actually Allergic To Spf, What Can I Use For Sunscreen?
Posted by: Alan in Contact Dermatitis, tags: Actually, Allergic, Aveeno, Daily, Moisturizer, Sunscreen, What
I’ve been using this Aveeno moisturizer with SPF 15 for almost 2 years now and I guess it’s perfect for my skin since I’ve never had any allergic reaction to it. But, I want to use a higher spf coz I want to protect my skin since I have some discoloration but my problem is, I am allergic to Spf. I know it doesn’t make sense right now but my dermatologist told me that the only sunscreen I can use is Presun from Rite Aid. I’ve had Contact Dermatitis before where I broke out due to the Lanolin Oil in lip cosmetics (one of the ingredients) and SPF. But for some reason, I’m not allergic to Aveeno with SPF 15 and I’m very afraid to use something with higher Spf coz I don’t want to have contact dermatitis again. I am using Bio-Oil to moisturize my skin and to help even out my skin tone but I need sunscreen, what should I get? You think I should stick with Aveeno but get the SPF 30 for more protection? or can I just go ahead and buy the Presun sunscreen with Spf 30 since I’m already using Bio-Oil for my moisturizer? Thanks in advance

the first woman is right. its impossible to be allergic to SPF. aveeno is not a good product anyway, it not natural and many people break out because of it. it contains mineral oil, and everyone is allergic to this because its pimple causing, cancer causing and toxic. many people are allergic to lanolin oil as its an animal product and should not be applied to the face in the first place. why not wear mineral cosmetics, they provide thorough coverage as their ingredients basically are zinc oxide and titanium dioxide. (the only 2 sunscreen ingredients that block out the suns rays to a noticeable degree) if no to the mineral makeup, at least look for sunscreens that contain those 2 ingredients.

SPF isn’t an ingredient, it’s a measure of how much protection the formula provides.
If you are allergic it’s to something else in the Aveeno.
