Is this suitable for acne prone skin?

Yes, it doesn't make me spotty and I'm very oily; however it does leave a white cast at first and it's very oily in texture. My kids still use this as they think it's less tacky feeling but I've moved to LA Roche Pose SPF 50 for oily skin. It's more gel texture. Neither make me break out but the Piz Buin is much cheaper (I can only use the Allergy one though)

Does this really help prevent prickly heat?

I used to get small red spots on skin joints (knees, elbow creases etc.). They were not that itchy so maybe more of uv induced reaction than prickly heat? Always got them with other sun tan lotions but Piz Buin Allergy stopped them right away and no problems ever since for many years.

It doesnt contain either Oxybenzone or octinoxate which are the 2 ingredients that are damaging to the reef.

It is not strongly perfumed but has got a distinctive 'Piz Buin' suncream sort of smell which is hard to define but not unpleasant and not too strong. It is a lovely facial sun cream, I would recommend it. I don't like things that smell too strong as they can give me a migraine but I am fine with this and have no problems with it. I have bought other brands this year to try (more expensive) and actually am going to go back to this one because I think it works better, is better for my skin and generally a great product.

Perfect for very sensitive skin

Amazing sun cream I ever used. It blends very well...... Never leaves a white cast. Perfect for very sensitive skin. No redness no irritation. Value for money 🤑. It's amazing. Mine is very sensitive skin slightly and it's oily too. It's perfect

Great product, would recommend as it works

Love Piz Buin lotion. I brought this not knowing it was for allergies as never had an issue with lotion before. However this applied and worked as all other lotions do. Great value bottle and good value for money. Knowing its for sensitive skin is a bonus to know there are good products out there.

Works ok

I have used Piz Buin regularly for a long time and this lotion you can get at an attractive price and it does do the intended job pretty well. It's easy enough to apply , with texture and feel being ok. The problem I have is I do have very sensitive skin and a sun allergy , but recently I chatted with a skincare nurse recently on holiday and she recommended Rona Ross cream and cleanser. This , for me works far better and really really well . It's a little more expensive but is worth it.
