"Poorly formulated SPF, or sunscreen designed for the body can be oily and promote blemishes. However, there are numerous non-comedogenic specific facial SPFs that are specially formulated for various skin types so it’s much easier to find a suitable sunscreen for acne-prone skin, she said:

The main elements that you need to look for in acne-friendly SPF is that it's oil-free, lightweight and containing ingredients like niacinamide, lactic acid, zinc oxide and antioxidants.

Everyone deserves to have the best protection from the sun's damage, and you shouldn't have to sacrifice skin clarity in order to secure skin safety.
