I have experienced allergic reactions to 3 different sunscreens now. EltaMD, Shiseido Sensitive Skin and Kids, and Neutrogena Ultra Sheer. Reaction includes itching, burning, redness, bumps, and scaly skin. Please advise on a sunscreen that I can use as going without sun protection is not an option! I also use Retina-A from the brand Altreno. Altreno 0.05%
