Sunscreens for sensitive and acne prone skin

Hello! 

I have super sensitive skin that is prone to acne. I recently started reacting to the sunscreen that I was using from La Roche-Posay and need some recommendations for new mineral based sunscreens. 

Thanks!

Re: Sunscreens for sensitive and acne prone skin

Hi! Pretty sure almost every mineral sunscreen I’ve checked from Sephora has at least one potentially acne causing ingredient except for the biossance sunscreen! It’s my favorite and I’ve been using it for years, it’s so gentle on the skin with clean and acne safe ingredients (also I recommend checking any product with an acne ingredients checker before using to be safe)

@SuttonG02   I have the same problem; most sunscreens burn my skin or cause breakouts.  I recently tried Tatcha The Silk Sunscreen SPF 50 Weightless Mineral Sunscreen 1 / 1  and I love it!

 

Absolutely no irritation, and it works.  It does have a tint, which makes it work very well for me as a foundation.  The link above is for the mini size to try, as it is pretty expensive.

 

You will need a cleansing balm or oil to remove it.
