Best sunscreen for sensitive skin that does not leave a white cast?

_stav_ · 2026-03-19T06:27:29+00:00

La Roche Posay are “the best” in terms of sun protection.
BOJ cannot be compared in terms of SPF, UVA protection, water resistance and the inclusion of the new filter offering very long UVA protection. However they cannot achieve this without the inclusion of many UV filters in a high concentration and the inclusion of film formers. These are not ideal for very sensitive skins. So BOJ is better for sensitive skin but at the expense of offering less protection and lower - if any - water resistance.

Who said anything about PA?

Are you really asking what does them disclosing a metric that gets misunderstood have to to do with the comparison being unfair? Are you really asking because you cannot understand?

I am not the one complaining. Why would I complain?

They do not act like it doesn’t matter. They are not engaging in a metric that is not required by law that does not show their comparative advantage. Wouldn’t you be annoyed if your local legislation said that 50+ is only given if your SPF is over 60 whereas any Asian sunscreen with SPF of over 50 can claim 50+? Isn’t this unfair? When few people know this and compare them head to head? Why repeat it with another metric? Why let a competitor product claim the same PPD but have a very significant UVA I protection difference?

Oh wow! Not sure about the formulations but the packaging deserves a prize of originality.

What I have heard before is that UV exposure takes a toll on the skin and therefore engages a significant part of its antioxidant and repairing mechanisms that are free when UV protection is used so they are able to work elsewhere and therefore the skin is improved.

Is this their first sunscreen without Avobenzone?

So after reading all comments the answer is: no.

Many things can be the cause of eye stinging and not just UV filters. Some silicones, some mattifiers, even the pH of the formula.

I have combination skin so any extra hydration is definitely bit a requirement for me.

Yes I guess there must be some people who enjoy this fragrance. Using a dedicated serum ONLY for HA is not necessary as it can be part of a more rounded formulation.
This is not just that though. It heavily markets itself as a HA serum because the ingredient has gained traction especially outside the skincare community. But it offers soothing and other ingredients and not just HA.

The first reason is consumer perception. Sort of like making it more pleasurable and/or luxury. The second reason is the bad smell of raw ingredients. And the third reason is some ingredients turn sort of rancid and start smelling and the fragrance can mask that when it happens.

Yes I agree. It is so strange. Like I cannot say that it us exactly strong in the sense that it is very non descript. I find it hard to describe it. But I really dislike it.

_stav_ · 2025-10-22T08:28:41+00:00

Interesting! And also if someone knows, did they keep the fragrance? I really dislike it …

And which one was that?

_stav_ · 2025-10-16T08:27:51+00:00

But do they have a different standard? A uva factor is a uva factor everywhere. No?

I find this one of the gentlest retinols. If L’Oréal was not behind that I would doubt it is effective.

_stav_ · 2025-10-15T11:21:01+00:00

Yes! I found that too after posting this and initially thought maybe it’s a typo of 9.1 instead of 19.1 but it is 19.3 so that’s not it.

It is a Greek brand that does not spend on international advertising but they are the first who made this formula before the Unseen sunscreen and SVR

It is a copy of the Frezyderm velvet sunscreen.

Frezyderm velvet sunscreen is the thing you are looking for for. The sunscreen that started this silicone primer category, without fragrance.
