Do any of you get I tchy from tinted mineral sunscreen? Any product suggestions?
I’ve been on tret 0.02% for about a year, using every 3-4 days. I’ve been experiencing slight itchiness throughout. At first I realized Niacinimide was aggravating the itchiness, so I removed that from my skincare products. The itchiness reduced significantly, but was still there. Then I removed all other products from my routine except La Roche Posay cleanser and Supergoop Protectint tinted mineral sunscreen (to prevent my melasma). The itchiness improved, but still could feel it slightly the day after Tret application. I’m also doing the whole sandwich method/ buffering thing, and while it has helped it didn’t completely zero-out the itchiness.
Now I’m going to get a lot of reaction here, but I removed the sunscreen altogether and noticed that the itchiness has completely gone away. I am now using tret every other night and no problems. My skin looks better than ever. I work from home and don’t go outside during the day, but I know that not using sunscreen is not a sustainable choice.
What ingredient could be causing the itchiness? For any of you that had the same issue, what tinted mineral sunscreen has worked for you?
