Product Summary

A superior sunscreen for sensitive skin, including blemish-prone skin, on the body. The continuous, multi-position aerosol spray soothes and protects from sun-induced skin damage.

Eucerin’s Advanced Spectral Technology offers high UVA/UVB protection and HEVIS light defence.

UV light is the main cause of sun-induced skin damage, but high-energy visible (HEVIS) light can also induce free radicals that cause further stress to the skin.

The Advanced Spectral Technology combines broadband and photostable UVA/UVB filters for high UV protection with Licochalcone A to neutralize free radicals caused by UV and HEVIS light.

Eucerin Sun Spray Transparent Dry Touch Sensitive Protect SPF 50 is an aerosol sunscreen for the body suitable for sensitive skin including acne-prone skin.

The multi-position, aerosol spray makes the product quick and easy to apply on difficult to reach areas of skin. The transparent and non-greasy spray absorbs quickly, refreshes skin and is water-resistant.

Pharmacist FAQs Answered

What is "Dry Touch", and how does it differ from regular sunscreen?

"Dry Touch" means that the sunscreen dries quickly and does not feel greasy or sticky. This is more comfortable to wear, especially during warm weather. Unlike some rich sunscreens, which feel heavy to wear, this one has a light aerosol spray that is absorbed quickly. You don't feel a lot of lotion on your skin or have oily, acne skin, as it won't clog pores or cause breakouts. It's even a choice if you don't want to end up with greasy-looking skin. It's clean, transparent, and has a fresh, textured feel—ideal for daily use or sports.

Is aerosol sunscreen safe, and is it as protective as lotion?

Yes, aerosol sunscreens like this one are safe if applied correctly and give the same SPF 50 protection as lotions, as long as they are used correctly. Spray a complete, even coating onto the skin—don't spray too quickly or from a distance. Hold the can at arm's length (about 15 cm or 6 inches) and keep it over all open skin. Rub a few seconds after spraying to spread and achieve maximum cover. Do not spray on face or inhale—spray in hands first and then face if required.

Can it be used on children or sensitive areas like the face?

This product is made for adult and teen skin and is gentle enough for sensitive or blemish-prone skin. However, for younger children or for applying around the eyes and mouth, it's better to use a specialist sunscreen made specifically for kids or the face. If you apply it to your face, spray a small amount into your hands first, then apply it carefully so it doesn't get into your eyes. It's also suitable for hard-to-reach places, such as the back or shoulders, thanks to the multi-position spray nozzle, which sprays even when the can is upside down.

Why is this sunscreen suitable for acne-prone or blemish-prone skin?

Most sunscreens can be greasy-feeling and heavy, clogging pores and leading to breakouts, especially on acne-prone or oily skin. Eucerin Transparent Dry Touch SPF 50 does not. It is non-comedogenic (pore-not clogging), contains an alcohol-free formula for a refreshed sensation, and features Licochalcone A, an antioxidant that helps minimise irritation and redness. The formula is oil-free, cream-free, non-greasy, and fast-drying, making it ideal for spotty skin. It also shields the skin from UVA, UVB, and HEVIS light that irritates and exacerbates blemishes in the long term.

How long does this sunscreen last, and when should I reapply it?

This water-resistant sunscreen lasts briefly while you're in the water or sweating. Water-resistant isn't waterproof, so reapply every 2 hours, especially after swimming, sweating, or drying off with a towel. Even the best sunscreens need to be topped up to keep working. To ensure complete protection for your skin, use enough spray each time. Most users don't apply enough sunscreen, which makes it less effective. Applying it to the whole body will take at least 30–40 seconds of spraying, depending on the amount of skin exposed.
