Suggest Remedy For Sunburn
What can I used to stop my 9 year old son's face from getting sunburned. The only place he burns on his face is directly under his eyes and it gets so completely red. It does not blister. I have used Clear Zinc which is 7.5% Octinoxate, 7% Zinc Oxide & 4$ Oxybenzone.

Hello,
Thank you for posting here your concern.
Children's skin is more delicate and so minimal exposure to the sun is recommended, since damages could be important with the time.
You are doing good job with the creams you have used, since they hep that the skin recovers and and the skin cells to regenerate faster and moisturizes the skin.
Other things that may help are using face sunburn creams, that can be applied in that area safely, with SPF (sun protection factor) over 30; Advise to avoid direct exposure to the sun but prefer shades when possible; wear hats;
Hope this helps,
Take care
