tinted sunscreen for sensitive, acne prone skin with rosacea

I have young, sensitive skin with multiple concerns:

  • Rosacea / redness-prone

  • Fungal acne–prone (Malassezia)

  • Bacterial acne / breakout–prone

  • sebaceous filaments

  • Easily irritated barrier

I’m choosing between these sunscreens:

@MLillianG what ingredients has your dermatologist told you to stay away from?

It's T28 as it fits your description the most for me. I agree to KDB as well.

Hi OP. Of your 4 options, for me Option 3 fits your profile best since it's silicone-free mineral SPF 40 with ceramides & peptides. Option 1 is a secondary choice. To give you flexibility & more options an ingredient list would be helpful= look for zinc oxide ideally (titanium dioxide is fine too), silicone-free, fragrance-free & non-comedogenic. Ceramides/peptides are a plus. Avoid formulas with fatty alcohols like isocetyl alcohol. Hope this helps!

They are good products. I’ve probably heard the most about Ciele, and I think this sunscreen is quite good. I recently found Mindbodygreen reviews and started looking at cosmetic products more often and learning about them. When I get to researching sunscreens, I’ll be able to tell you more about it.
