I recommend La Roche-Posay. The formula is amazing and lightweight. My fave so far.

like

Supergoop! I didn't break out with this one. And it’s a great option for wearing as a primer under makeup because it doesn’t leave pesky white streaks behind.

I use EltaMD for this same reason. Super gentle. I wait for sales at Dermstore. A little goes a long way and only use on my face

like

I recommend this one by Hero Cosmetics. I've been using this for a while and it's pretty effective.

Another vote for Elta MD. My dermatologist recommended it. Have already repurchased.

If money isn't an issue, you can try Dermalogica's product called Prisma Protect SPF 30. This is the only one that worked for me. I always had breakouts with my previous spf products.

I'd recommend trying La Roche-Posay Anthelios Clear Skin Dry Touch Sunscreen. It's specifically formulated for sensitive and acne-prone skin. My dermatologist recommended me after multiple exams, and it has worked awesome!

like

I use the one from Khiel's. I also double cleanse using an oil-based cleansing balm. Then I wash my face with my cleanser to thoroughly remove any residues.

like

I use the Aveeno Protect + Hydrate. I have sensitive skin and break out easily. This sunscreen doesn't clog my pores.

like

I’d steer clear from coconut oil and anything that is comedogenic. I use Kimberley sayers spf and I’m the eve double cleanse and just water in the morning

I love this one from CeraVe. The AM one you mentioned breaks me out too but this one is perfect!

This one feels less greasy to me and is faster absorbing. It’s the “ultra-light” aspect that makes this one work I think. But everyone is different so who really knows!

like

I recommend an organic local natural Sunblock from Nezza Naturals. Its breathable, ocean safe, transparent and actually cures my acne!!!!!

like

Try the Ultra Violette Supreme Screen SPF 50+ Hydrating Skinscreen. This really wears well under makeup. It helps lock in my foundation. No breakouts at all.

like

For those with dry skin, try the Rose Si'l Vous Plait SPF 30 from Everyday Humans. It's hydrating and melts into the skin. I've been using this for months and I didn't have breakouts.

like

Have you tried Naked Sundays' SPF 50 Clear Glow Radiant Sun Serum? This product is vegan friendly, I was thinking you could try your luck with this type of product.

I've tried a few...the Shiseido one was ok and I've had pretty good luck with that. CeraVe is my current one and I do like that as well

like

All their products make me break out for some reason!

A little pricey but best sunscreen I have used and is cooperative under makeup too:

SPF 30, Neutrogena is my go-too. I really don't notice any other difference going up on the SPF number.

like

I use Neutrogena's Ultra Sheer Dry-Touch Sunscreen for my face. It's lightweight and non-comedogenic, so it never causes breakouts for me. I've been using it for years, and I'm pleased with it. It's also affordable, which is a big plus.
