Beauty Review Member sarahwaughnz says: I initially started using this while travelling as the small bottle appealed to me and I wanted something light for my face but with high protection. I am a big fan! It offers high protection without being shiny or feeling too heavy. It sits well under makeup and isn't visible on the skin. The bottle lasts surprisingly well because once it's on, I find I don't need to reapply for the rest of the day. My skin can be a bit sensitive at times but did not react to this product.

2. Oasis Beauty Sun SPF 30+

RATED: 4.6/5!

Beauty Review Member Judith says: I have been using this sunscreen for a while now and am really happy with the results. It absorbs well and I like the fact that it's non-greasy and therefore doesn't shine and dominate my face. I keep it in the kitchen so all the family have access to it so - it is used by all ages. I really like the fact that it can be worn under makeup, this is the biggest plus for me, and this encourages me to apply it even when I am going out as I know that it will have absorbed well in and doing its job as I apply makeup over the top.

3. Olay Complete UV Lotion Sensitive Skin SPF30

RATED: 4.5/5

Beauty Review Member Tinadixon says: This is one of the best sunscreens out there. I have sensitive skin and it leaves my skin feeling mouiserized and protected a the same time. It doesn’t have that oily feeling like most sun screens it comes in a great little bottle with pump which is perfect for in the car or your handbag. Perfect for on my face

I've used Oasis Sun in the past. It\s a bit too thick and white for my liking. Not for me...

After wasting so much money on expensive sunscreens and experimenting, I finally came across Oasis Beauty. I can't go back to any other sunscreen, my whole family uses this one and almost all of my friends circle have moved to this one because I can't talk enough about how great this sunscreen is for my sensitive skin.

I’ve been using the Nivea Shine Free facial sunscreen and I love it but it’s becoming increasingly difficult to find and I was literally looking at the La Roche Posay one today. Great review I’m definitely going to try it now.

Glad to see some new sensitive products here to try. I find so many react to my skin, even ones that say they are for sensitive skin, after a few days in a row of application. Also great to see products that aren't just the high end cost wise.
