Application FAQ: Using Insect Repellent with Sunscreen

Should I apply sunscreen or insect repellent first?

Many health authorities and dermatologists suggest applying sunscreen first, allowing it to absorb fully before applying insect repellent on top. However, the most important step is always to follow the directions on the label of each product you are using, as formulations can vary. If you are unsure about the correct order or timing for the specific products you are using — particularly for children or people with sensitive skin — please consult a pharmacist, GP, or other qualified health professional for personalised guidance.

Can I use sunscreen and insect repellent together?

Using both products together is a common practice for outdoor activities, but there is no universal rule that applies to all formulations. Always check the label of both products before use. Some labels may include specific application instructions or cautions. Where label instructions differ, follow the most cautious guidance or seek advice from a qualified health professional.

Does DEET affect sunscreen?

Some research suggests that DEET may reduce the effectiveness of certain sunscreen filters, and that sunscreen can affect the absorption of DEET. Because the interaction depends on the specific formulations involved, we recommend reading both product labels carefully and reapplying sunscreen as directed — which may be more frequently than usual. For specific concerns, speak to a pharmacist or GP.

Are your repellents safe to use alongside sunscreen on children?

Peaceful Sleep Insect Repellent is not suitable for children under 2 years. For children aged 2 and above, always follow the age guidance on the repellent label. When combining any repellent with sunscreen on children, consult a pharmacist or paediatrician for appropriate advice for your child's age and skin type. Browse our Kids Sun Protection range for age-appropriate sunscreen options.
