So, on a previous post I asked for a sunblock that won't cause breakouts or clog my pores. I bought the neutrogena clear face break-out free liquid lotion with broad spectrum and helioplex. Well, after applying my face burns and itches. I don't know what to do. should I get one for sensitive skin?

Well for now don't use anything you're having an allergic reaction to it. The only thing you can really do it put ice on your face, I swear by this it's the only things that works for the burning and itching. It will be trial and error to find a sunscreen, I have extremely sensitive skin and suffer from dermatitis and I personally use Ombrelle sunscreen which my dermatologist recommended for sensitive skin. I hope this helps.

Is it pricey? @Shauna S. it is strange for me because I really do not have sensitive skin. I am not using it anymore. In fact, I'm going to give it to my boyfriend and see if it is ok with him.

Yeah it is kind of pricey but it's the only thing that worked for me. You can find it in your drugstore.

I use this tinted moisturizer. It has SPF so it keeps your burn free plus it works as well as foundation! I love it and its super light and not cakey!

Try to look for sensitive skin sunscreens with zinc oxide instead of titanium oxide. I've heard from some make up artists it's better for sensitive skin
