Okay, so with summer approaching us (in the Northern Hemisphere anyway), of course one of the things on some people's minds will be the sunscreen, especially for those of us with hyperpigmentation.

I have read a number of topics on here in the past though with members denouncing sunscreen- for various health reasons, but also because it has a bad rep regarding clogging pores and in some cases, rash (which I believe is caused by methylisothiazolinone).

This has never been a big issue for me as I've tended to be a recluse in the summer. But now that I'm currently treating my red marks with glycolic, I figure it would probably be a wise thing to look into.

So in general, what do you all feel about sunscreen? Is there a consensus at all? I know that cetaphil have an SPF 50, but reading the reviews on this site do not fill me with the utmost confidence. Are there other good brands?
