I have oily, sensitive, acne prone skin. My favorite sunscreen under makeup is the Paulas Choice Youth Extending fluid spf 50. I usually do a second layer of sunscreen on the tzone [right on top], with a matte mineral sunscreen for oil control (I use the Elta MD UV Elements tinted). Makeup wears great with this combination. I also like the UV Elements alone for minimal makeup or no makeup days, but not for a glamorous, full face of foundation and cream makeup look. For no makeup days the Elta Md UV clear tinted is great. Its actually quite brightening over time, idk whats in there but I certainly like that. If i could only buy one id buy the Paulas Choice one. If I didnt wear makeup id just buy Elta Md UV clear.

I have drier and acne prone skin and the ELF whoa glow tinted sunscreen is amazing! It doesn’t make me break out or oily. It evens out the skintone a bit with the tiny and give a healthy glow but does NOT make me look oily or enhance texture.

The kose suncut one is amazing for athletes as it is waterproof, breathable and no cast. Most teens hates wearing sunscreen but if they do ooutdoor sports, it's a must. Once they try this one, it will change their minds. I personally wear the colorscience flex. It's the only sunscreen that has enough coverage that I feel I can skip foundation, but it doesn't do well around hairline or dry spots so I am still on the lookout for something that is better. Most tinted sunscreen just doesn't have enough coverage that can replace foundation.

Another great video, Dr. Sam! At 69 with VERY sensitive and dry skin I use two mineral sunscreens that make moisturizer and foundation totally unnecessary. I first apply ColorScience Face Shield classic SPF 50 (very moisturizing) then apply MyChelle Dermaceuticals Sun Shield Liquid SPF 30 (which can be a bit drying). Between the two of them they leave my skin looking great with no negative reaction. Hope this is helpful

I have adult acne-prone skin. After trying what felt like most of the US market and consistently getting cysts every time I applied spf to my face (and also trying tons of mineral options that just dried me out to the point of severe discomfort), I finally thought to look outside the US. Turns out that one or more of the US filters triggers cystic acne on my skin. As long as I avoid the US filters, my skin does fine with SPF. My current favorite is UltraSun Family SPF30.

I've struggled with acne since my early tween years, and since I've started using a tretinoin perscription my skin is very sensitive, EXTREMELY dry, and still very prone to breakouts and flare ups. I HIGHLY recommend the Beauty of Joseon sunscreen if you have dry/sensitive skin and struggle with acne. I usually layer it over a moisterizer just because tretinoin has made my skin SO dry, but it feels AMAZING!! It's so moisterizing and makes my skin feel so plump, does not sting my eyes or the rest of my face whatsoever, and from what I can tell the sunscreen itself has not contributed to my breakouts. It also gives such a beautiful glow from within, which makes me feel a little bit better about my skin despite my pretty severe acne :). Highly recommend this sunscreen! There is light at the end of the tunnel my fellow acne-struggling friends!

I love the Elta MD UV Clear spf 45 and I had extremely oily skin when I started using this and stayed with it because I like the lightness and feel. Differin also makes a nice sunscreen for oily skin, I forgot the spf, but I wore it a lot under makeup with no problems. I’m on Spironolactone now so I’m battling super dry and sensitive skin which can be very difficult because it will still breakout when using the wrong products. Ugh. 😵‍💫

Hi Sam 💖 new subbie here 🥰. I have oily acne prone skin and I’ve been using a range of neutrogena “non comedogenic” sunscreens (they’re absolutely accessible to purchase as an inexpensive drugstore brand) and I haven’t noticed any worsening of my acne. My favourite I would say is the Ultra Sheer Face with spf 50 uva and uvb lightweight lotion. It does not have any strong fragrances, feels lightweight upon application and does not make my skin produce excess sebum throughout the day. Hope this contributes well! I love your content 😍

I have acne prone skin. My skin type changes with the seasons, oily to combination in the spring , summer and fall and normal in the winter. Elta MD Clear was my go until I started using Beauty of Joseon. Maybe it’s the probiotic (or is it prebiotic?) in this formula but it has never caused acne and it’s so affordable. In all seasons, it suffices as a daily moisturizer. In warmer months it is a bit glowy on me but a little powder works to minimize the shine.

I have combination skin, leaning more towards the oily side in my T zone. I loveeeee the La Roche-Posay Anthelios UV Correct SPF 70 sunscreen. It’s easily accessible (Target, Walgreens, etc.), plays very well with my skin, doesn’t leave me feeling or looking too oily at the end of the day, and it has a lot of incredible ingredients in it. I will say the only downside is the price point. It’s around $40ish. It’s worth the investment for me.

My favorite sunscreens for acne-prone skin that is sensitized by tretinoin and other actives are the Ultraviolette Clean Screen SPF 30 and the Dr.G Red Blemish Soothing Up Sun SPF 50+. My biggest problems with a lot of sunscreen are that ether they break me out or they dry out my skin and burn because of a high ethanol level. Both of these sunscreen don’t do this and they wear great under makeup (which as an acne-prone girl I nearly daily wear).

I love the supergoop mineral mattescreen. I have normal acne prone skin and use tretinoin and take Spironolactone daily. I also have horrible eczema around my eyes and in my hairline, so a lot of sunscreens do not get along with my skin. I hate that I can only use mineral sunscreens because I’m extremely pale and find a lot of them make me look grey and sick. I wish trying new sunscreens also wasn’t a roll of the dice whether my eye lids will swell up. My derm says to stick to what I know but supergoop is super expensive for everyday use.

Hero Cosmetics Superlight Sunscreen has been amazing for my combination & acne-prone & sensitive skin! It has a slight green tint that takes down almost all of my redness which is amazing, and it's great at keeping oil at bay throughout the day. It does go on VERY dewy at first, but it dries down pretty quickly. I'll wear this one on days I'm not wearing makeup/don't want any sort of tint or coverage, so I can't attest to what it's like under makeup. But, I love the Saint Jane Sun Luxury sunscreen as a makeup primer, and I'll wear that one when I'm doing full makeup. Still on the hunt for a good tinted mineral sunscreen that I can wear when I want just some coverage but not full makeup :)

I have perioral dermatitis, rosacea and seb derm and right now I'm using and loving the Cetaphil liposomal lotion spf 50+, I was using Eltamd uv clear but two months ago I introduced as per recommended by my derm Aklief, and I found it was then stinging my sensitized skin, I thought of giving this Cetaphil a shot and it has been amazing. My skin is on the "oiler side" and I live in a hot humid place, while I'm on retinoids (I'm also on low dose accutane and spironolactone) my skin is less oily than in its natural state but still it reacts badly to heavier products and this hasn't been the case for this. And it comes in a 100ml bottle. You might be able to get it in the US if you get import it from Mexico, or if you get it as Daylong protect and care lotion spf 50+, which is the same exact formulation as they are both owned by Galderma. The cetaphil vs Elta md seems to give me more protection IMO because even tho I used to wear each daily, I was getting a tan with the elta just through my daily commute to work.

DRMTLGY universal tinted is great for my older oily skin. It’s the first one I ever tried and immediately fell in love. Once it dries down and I powder it (I don’t use foundation) it’s lovely. It actually holds back the oil. My lunchtime powdering because of shiny oily skin is no longer needed as it keeps the oil in check. It does burn when it gets in my eyes like when I’m sweating cutting grass. But other than that I love it. I still have one and a half bottles of it so after that I might try something new but I love it so much I’m not sure I need to waste money.

I recently purchased both the Elta MD physical and clear tinted versions. Both of them cause horrible pilling immediately upon rubbing them in. They just ball up and don’t soak into my skin at all. My skin is oily and I hear so many good things about them that thinking maybe I just got a bad batch or something. Anyone else have trouble with that.

Could you please do the same for USA sunscreens from over the counter? Thanks.

@skinloverbyvane Жыл бұрын

For US I prefer Mineral sunscreens from Neutrogena- Eucerin - Isdin - Murad and for Chemicals I love European La Roche posey and Avène have the newer generation filters and high UVA protection 😎 watch out with Asian sunscreen cuz a lot of them are not water 💦 resistant 😢

I have combo, acne prone, and sensitive. EltaMD clear has been my go to for a decade as well. Last summer I *finally* branched out and dabbled in a few others. - truly matte, stays without getting smeary (IYKYK), plays nice under makeup, pricey petunia but she was lovely even in summer to humid Savannah and Charleston: Eryfotona Ageless Ultralight tinted mineral sunscreen. - SkinMedica Essential Defense Mineral Shield Broad Spectrum SPF 35; (excellent for sensitive) -based on your Recs started using the BOJ and loving that one!! -currently for tinted using the DRMTLGY tinted and it’s a little more of a natural skin finish great for when I don’t wear makeup.

Did any of these clog your pores, hurt your eyes or left a white cast?

@@emmasun88 no clogging pores or stinging eyes. I am Caucasian and no white cast on me , but that can definitely be skin tone dependent. I have medical assistants who are brown and black, and they approved the beauty of Joseon one with no white cast- but I don’t think I’ve asked them about these others specifically.

Hi Sam, thank you for the recommendations! I'd love to know your thoughts on the new All Physical Ultimate Denfense Broad Spectrum Sunscreen SPF 50 from Dr. Dennis Gross too.😁 I'm someone with very dry skin and just recently tried out the Naked Sundays 100% Mineral Collagen Glow Perfecting Priming Lotion SPF 50+. It's absolutely amazing, new holy grail mineral sunscreen! The product was thick coming out, but then great once blended into the skin. Fragrance free, water resistant, and no white cast on me with the tint. Thankfully no pilling either. I only wish it came in a bigger bottle because $34 is expensive for only 1.7 ounces!

Thank you so much for covering dry skin. I live in Colorado, the dry air + being in my 40s, I feel like a dried out raisin all the time. Any products to help moisturize in this dry high desert state are appreciated! I would love a recommendation for a face oil, its my last step before makeup. I have used Herbivore before (so pricey) and currently use Tarte Maracuja, but would love to try something new.

Have you ever tried Vintner's Daughter oil serum ? A cult favorite it has quite a few ingredients though. I Like Rosehip oil and for night Castor oil is awesome but thick so I use at night also around the eyes. Really helps my fine lines and use on neck but it does feel heavy but I don't care because it helps a lot.

I have dry acne prone skin and it has taken me years to find a sunscreen that does't break me out or make my skin too dry. I love the Bali Body Spf 50 for my skin type! It seems to be the first one ever working, I haven't seen any reviews of it yet though, would love to hear your thoughts about it 🌟

I do not have acne-prone skin, but I do have extremely sensitive skin. I have been using the tinted sunscreen Alastin, which started out as a skincare brand (and still is), but I found out about this through another KZfaq influencer. There are several out there who have discount codes, so I use those when I can because it can be a little pricey. I bought it once from Amazon, and it is not the same as the product I received from Alastin. Some of the Elta MD sunscreens did cause some "tingling sensations" but no breakouts. I have never had tingling, irritation, or breakouts with the Alastin. Most days, I put it on, use concealer on any red areas that occasionally crop up, and then dust a little Nyx powder over my T-zone after letting the sunscreen dry....that's it. No foundation needed, but when I do wear foundation, it works beautifully with any that I have tried (especially powder foundations).

I'm moderately acne prone and still break out occasionally, especially under the nose. The sunscreens that do not seem to have exacerbated my acne are: Iunik Centella Calming Daily Sunscreen, Numbuzin Pure-full Calming Water Sunscreen, Beauty of Joseon Rice Relief, Isntree Hyaluronic Acid Watery Sun Gel (although I did find dry patches with this).
