You can buy the sunscreen here 😊 I found this one made for vitiligo-prone skin with SPF 50+: https://www.vitiligoshop.net/p/185/sunsceen-cream
It’s specially designed to protect sensitive depigmented areas from the sun.

Where can you buy sunscreen suitable for vitiligo?

You can purchase sunscreen for vitiligo at most drugstores, pharmacies, supermarkets, and online retailers. There isn't a special "vitiligo sunscreen" - regular broad-spectrum sunscreens work well for protecting your skin.

When shopping for sunscreen, look for these features:

* Broad-spectrum protection (covers both UVA and UVB rays)
* SPF 50 or higher
* Water-resistant if you'll be swimming or sweating

Remember to reapply sunscreen every 20 minutes, and more frequently if you're in water or sweating heavily. Sun protection is important for everyone with vitiligo, regardless of whether you're receiving light therapy treatment.

If you're receiving narrowband UVB treatment, sun protection becomes even more critical since you're already getting UV exposure during therapy sessions.
