Best sunscreen for acne prone skin?

I have tried a couple different sunscreens and they always break me out! I have sensitive skin but also really acne prone skin. I am going on vacation soon and really need one before I leave!

So what’s your favorite sunscreen for the face? Any tips or tricks on how to see if a sunscreen is non clogging and won’t cause breakouts? #letschat #lemon8contest #needadvice

... Read moreFinding the right sunscreen when you have acne-prone skin can be a challenge. It’s essential to look for products labeled as ‘non-comedogenic’ to ensure they won't clog pores. Brands like Neutrogena, La Roche-Posay, and EltaMD offer formulations that cater specifically to acne-prone skin. Ingredients such as zinc oxide and titanium dioxide not only protect against UV rays but also tend to be gentler on the skin. Sunscreens with a lightweight, gel-based formula or those labeled ‘oil-free’ are usually a better choice. Always patch test a new product before applying it to your entire face. Moreover, it's beneficial to pair sunscreen with other skin care products that are acne-friendly, such as salicylic acid or niacinamide, to maintain clear skin while enjoying sun exposure. Remember to reapply every two hours, especially if you're swimming or sweating, to ensure optimal protection.

We use Sun Bum. It smells divine and my fair littles never had a sunburn.
