Hi everyone

I work with kids and with the warmer weather coming up, we will definitely be spending more time on the playground/outside. Being on accutane I have heard horror stories about sun exposure and I have definitely noticed how sensitive my skin has become to being out in the sun even for a few minutes. Does anyone have any recommendations for sunscreens that don't cause breakouts/clog pores? I use a moisturizer with spf underneath foundation with spf, but I don't think it is enough.

Thanks in advance!

Neutrogena clear face worked like a charm for me. No breakouts and it doesn't feel greasy
The sun side effect is real but it's not that bad.
I worked outside a lot when I was using

Thanks! I have neutrogena clear face actually and I liked it before accutane. But it makes my skin sting so bad after applying it. Which then makes me red for hours.
