Is E45 Sun Care Sensitive Spray suitable for eczema-prone skin?

Yes. It's formulated for dry, sensitive and eczema-prone skin, with no added fragrance and dermatological testing. If you have sensitive skin or are concerned about an allergic reaction, E45 recommends carrying out a patch test before first use: apply a small amount to the skin and leave it to check whether a reaction develops.

How much sunscreen should I apply, and does the amount matter?

Apply this spray generously before sun exposure, and reapply frequently, especially after sweating, swimming or towel-drying the skin. E45 notes that using too little sunscreen gives a lower level of protection, so applying a generous amount is important for the SPF 50+ rating to be effective.

Is this the same as E45's Kids & Baby Sun Spray?

No. E45 also sells a separate Kids & Baby Sensitive Spray SPF 50+, developed specifically for children. Make sure you choose the product that matches the intended user.
