I've been reading sunscreen is important to wear for acne suffers. Wondered if anyone could recommend one for sensitive, acne prone skin? Also can you use a moisturiser then put sunscreen on afterwards?

Yes, I use moisturizer first and then sunscreen. I use Rodan and Fields Soothe sunscreen for my face. Super lightweight and good for acne prone and sensitive skin!

A zinc based mineral sunscreen is the best because it does not irritate sensitive skin. If you are of a lighter complexion, you can use netrogena sheer zinc for face. I have tried it and it did not break me out at all; in fact, it had a soothing effect on my zits. I only stopped using it because I am dark skinned and the sunscreen was gave me a whitish-cast. Right now, I use a tinted sunscreen powder and it is working great so far. Hope this helps.

I use the Eucerin sun gel-creme oil control spf 50. It doesnt break me out, leaves no white residue, and tries to keep the face matte. I am very oily so its mattifying properties do not really work for me, but it could also be because of the warm and humid weather.

I always apply moisturizer before sunscreen.

I use EltaMD spf 46 in clear. It is prescribed by dermatologists for acne-prone skin. UV oxidises squalene, the oil skin produces, starting of the acne inflammatory chain. Having avoided it for years as dislike putting products on my face during the day, I now won't go out without it!

I apply moisturiser beneath if needed, but usually just at night.

CeAve AM moisturiser with SPF 30 is a good one I've been using lately. Cetaphil has a tinted moisturiser/suncreen that is marketed for redness which I also like.

I've started using SunSense since the one I recommended above started burning my eyes!

Absolutely. Apply a moisturiser, leave it for a bit, then apply a non-comedogenic sunscreen.

There are some sunscreens which have a combined moisturiser if you feel it would be more convenient. I believe Nivea have one.

For acne-prone skin, it is best to use umbrellas, sun hats, etc. If you have to use sunscreen for a long time outdoors, it is best to use physical sunscreen. Such as Topix Replenix Physical Suncreen Cream(50+), Nov UV milk.

my experience exactly!

Eucerine Oil Control Dry touch spf 50 for acne-prone and sensitive skin. It's chemical but doesn't irritate the skin or leave a white cast.

One of the top 5 sunscreens of the year.
