Pharmacy sunscreen: which ones irritate the least?
The worst SPF is the one you don't wear because it stings your eyes, leaves a white cast or breaks you out. For sensitive skin, we filtered pharmacy formulas that cause the fewest daily issues — not just the highest SPF on the label.

Frequently asked questions
Sensitive skin with rosacea: which to try?
SPF 50+ fragrance-free, ideally mineral if chemical filters burn you. Anthelios and Photoderm often come up in reviews for reactive skin — but it's individual.
Mineral or chemical?
Minerals sometimes sting eyes less but can leave more white cast. Texture + tolerance reviews beat a generic debate.
How do you rank them?
Tolerance first, texture second (spreadability, finish, white cast). Same scoring logic as the rest of the site.
