Sunscreens Always use a high factor sunscreen product e.g. 25,25, 50. Those formulated for children and for sensitive skin are more suited for more ‘fragile’ skin. You should always patch test a product – ask the chemist if they have any samples you could try before purchasing a sunscreen product. A small number of the companies listed in this leaflet produce sunscreen products. Some brands are available on prescription e.g. E45 or Uvistat. As with any products, moisturisers, bath oils etc are discontinued and new products manufactured constantly and this list is not an exhaustive list of all the products used in the treatment of ichthyosis. Product licences change resulting in different companies manufacturing and/or distributing products. Please ask your pharmacist about the range of products available. This information is for advice only, please consult your doctor before altering any treatments.
