What Sunscreen do Doctors recommend most?
Today’s discussion on “What is the most recommended sunscreen” was sponsored by Blue Lizard, an American sunscreen producer.
This is my handsome son playing outside when he was little. PS. There was no water in the bucket!
What is the Most Recommended Sunscreen by Pediatricians and Dermatologists?
When my kids were little, sunscreen producers only JUST started coming out with sunscreen for babies and kids. SPF levels weren’t very high, if noted at all. We usually put a big shirt on the kids, waited until after the sun went down in the sky a little and hoped for the best as far as sunburns.
Today is a whole new ballgame. There are so many sunscreen formulations, it’s hard to sort it all out. Which one should you choose? Why not pick the sunscreen that doctors prefer?
What is the most recommended sunscreen by pediatricians and dermatologists? Blue Lizard is the brand most recommended by pediatricians and dermatologists. Why? Because their products are not only effective, but their Baby and Sensitive formulas are as safe as a sunscreen formula can be.
The weather in Michigan today was super cloudy. One thing I always wondered about, for myself as a super pale individual or for my children, is do I need to apply sunscreen today?
Blue Lizard answers that question for me by providing the answer right on their bottle. Their patented BPA-free Smart Bottle™ changes colors in the presence of harmful UV rays, reminding you to cover up. Even on this cloudy overcast Michigan day, indications were that sunscreen needed to be applied, all I had to do was look at the bottle!
In the 3 oz. size the lid changes color and in the 5 oz. size the bottle changes color. Isn’t that cool? Even a little child would know just by looking at the bottle that they should be applying their sunscreen. How great would this be for kids going to camp?
Here’s just a few reason why Blue Lizard is recommended by Doctors:
- Blue Lizard is American made (YAH!), but was originally created in Australia where sunscreen standards are the strictest in the world.
- Blue Lizard has five sunscreen formulas available: Baby, Sensitive, Face, Sport & Regular – All are broad spectrum UVA/UVB coverage (SPF 30+)
- Baby & Sensitive Formulas are paraben-free, chemical-free and fragrance-free; Face is also oil-free and all formulations are mineral-based containing Zinc Oxide. (Yeah for fragrance-free you know how much I hate smelly things!) Face is also non-comedogenic, which means it does not block pores!
- Sport & Regular are extremely water resistant. These formulas meet Australian standards of staying on in 240 minutes of whirlpool water.

We have a ton of trouble finding a good, really water-resistant sunscreen so I would really love to try the Blue Lizard Australian Sunscreen Sport 3 oz Tube. Sounds like it could be exactly what we need!
My daughter is allegic to many sunscreens and Blue Lizard’s Sensitive sunscreen is the only sun protection lotion that doesn’t cause her to break out in a rash

So sorry Jan! I can’t unless the company lets me! The CHief Blonde
i use this because of the cancer run in the family and they are light skin and then it not greasy
I would like to try the Blue Lizard Face sunscreen. I have yet to find a sunscreen that works for me to use on my face. Most other sunscreens I sweat off and it burns my eyes or it irritates my already oily skin and causes breakouts.
I would love the Blue Lizard sunscreen for face with 50 uv block. I use facial sunscreen every day and have many sun spots that are catching up with me that I would like to prevent from getting any darker!
I would love to try the BLUE LIZARD AUSTRALIAN SUNSCREEN FACE 3 OZ TUBE sunscreen! No matter what I always put sunscreen on my face because as it is, I’m always bright red. I love finding sunscreens specifically made for face.
Would live to win just in time for vacation
for the face
I would love to try the BLUE LIZARD AUSTRALIAN SUNSCREEN REGULAR. My husband could really use this, as well as myself! He has been treated for some skin cancer spots. I love that it is very water resistant and is 30+ SPF.
I’d love to have the gallon jug of the ‘Sunscreen for Baby’ for my grandkids. We are always going to the pool, so I need a lot!
BLUE LIZARD AUSTRALIAN SUNSCREEN BABY 3 OZ TUBE because I want it for my son
With three kiddos in the house (including a 6 month old!) I definitely need some of the baby sunscreen. Their skin is so sensitive and I don’t want them getting burnt.
I would love to try the sensitive sunscreen. My fiance has eczema and is also very light skinned. He burns easily and breaks out if the products he puts on his screen are too harsh. Blue Lizard sensitive sounds like a great way to take care of both his needs.
