Acne.org Products
Hi everyone
I need to buy a face sunscreen, but am really confused. All the ones that say they are oil free and suitable for people with acne seem to contain titanium dioxide and/or zinc oxide. I thought that both of these clog the pores and could therefore lead to acne?
Does anyone have any recommendations? I was thinking about Obagi, but even that contains pore clogging ingredients.
Any recommendations will be really appreciated.
Thank you
hi Bee,
I have been confused about this issue also. My derm recommended Neutrogena Healthy Defense, which has spf 45. I used to read ingredients! ahhhh.
But now, I just don't try to understand what everything is and does because I realize I'm not a skin doctor or a biologist or chemist, so how much do I really understand it anyways?
At first I thought it was a bit greasy (I mix 1:1 with mac studio fix foundation), but I decided to give it a fair shot - since she recommended it. And what I'm finding is that my skin has NEVER looked so healthy. SPF is soooo important to not turn red marks into brown spots that take forever to disappear.
Anyways, hope this helps. Oh, and, my skin seems to be producing less oil throughout the day, because I think it's lubed up enough from this moisturizer.
