It should be noted that this list was generated as a result of the "expert opinion" of a number of practicing dermatologist across the USA. Unfortunately, there are virtually no current published data resulting from systematic comparisons of the efficacy of various commercial products in the categories indicated in this table. Please not that SLE patients are recommended to use a product containing an SPF of 30 or greater whenever possible. This list was adapted from a list published on the RxDerm-L Internet chat group in 1997 and was updated by Ting and Sontheimer.
