Hello everyone!

I am going on a warm weather vacation (below the equator) in 2 weeks. I have extremely fair skin that is prone to issues (ex. acne, dryness, etc.) I have hormonal acne that is caused mostly by the teenage excess oils etc, anyways very many products give me really bad breakouts on my face. I am looking for a good, water repellent, high SPF, no oil, non harsh sunscreen to use strictly on my face. Currently I have bought and plan on using Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Dry-Touch Sunblock (http://www.neutrogen...sortby=ourPicks). If you could give me your thoughts on that particular product that would be great. I am also looking for suggestions on any new product, as well as how much SPF I should use, and how often you would suggest I re-apply (I will be outside pretty much from when I wake up until the sun goes down.) The last three are more important than the first question. I thank all of you experienced acne.org people. You have helped me so much on my journey in clearing my face!

I have been using a new product - Brush On Block. It is a dry mineral powder product with titanium dioxide and zinc oxide - SPF 30 that you brush on. It is water and sweat resistant and isnt greasy at all. I would suggest that you use at least an SPF 30 and reapply every two hours. Good luck!

The Neutrogena stuff that you bought works wonders! I use it on my super pale, most sunburnable face ever. It has never blocked my pores and caused acne or anything. I like neutrogena sunscreens because they also have a skin care line for acne prone people, which gives them insight into making sunscreen for the acne prone.

Wow, I am intrigued by the idea! I will deff look into it/ try it. The only issue for me with it is that I would have trouble trusting it, but I guess that is something you get over! Thanks for the help, both of you!
