Zara McDermott has shared her go-to SPF for sensitive skin, saying the CeraVe Invisible Hydrating Fluid Sunscreen SPF 50 is "My favourite SPF that actually works for my skin that doesn't inflame my dermatitis."
Why the CeraVe SPF suits reactive skin
The sunscreen, developed by dermatologists, combines sun protection with skin-nourishing ingredients. It is suitable for every skin type, from dry and sensitive to oily and blemish-prone complexions. The formula forms a long-lasting invisible shield on the skin, hydrating while protecting and giving a natural-looking glow.
Perioral dermatitis causes small red bumps around the mouth and nose, along with burning and itching. Heavy moisturisers and thick SPFs can trigger or worsen the condition, which makes McDermott's choice particularly relevant for others with similar skin concerns.
Price and where to buy
The CeraVe SPF normally costs £17.90 but has been reduced to £14.32 at Cult Beauty at the time of writing. The brand's formula is designed to be gentle yet effective, and the fluid texture is intended to leave no white cast.
