We recommend using the product within the indicated PAO (period-after-opening) timeframe once the product is opened and activated. is ideal for someone who does not want tint due to transfer onto clothing (i.e. men and shirt collars): The following shows how much protection each PA score provides compared to unprotected skin. If your unprotected skin normally darkens/pigments after 5 min of UVA exposure: PA Rating Dry skin: “Look for serum-, lotion-, or cream-based formulas that have additional skin care active ingredients, such as ceramides, hydrators, antioxidants, and humectants to limit transepidermal water losses and seal in the natural skin moisture,” says Dr. Shamban. Many new formulas include those ingredients, so options abound.

Dr. Murphy-Rose concurs: “I very frequently recommend EltaMD UV Clear to my acne-prone patients for excellent broad-spectrum protection that won’t promote breakouts.” And Dr. Shirazi cosigns the sentiment—all three dermatologists named it as a top contender for shielding skin from sun damage and sunburn.

EltaMD’s cult-favorite SPF is pretty much the gold standard when it comes to the best sunscreen for acne-prone skin. (It’s also one of Hailey Bieber’s go-tos). “For acne-prone skin, my favorite product is Elta MD’s UV Clear SPF 46. It is specifically formulated for oily, acne-prone skin and is super lightweight, and therefore does not clog pores,” says Bradley Glodny, MD, board-certified dermatologist and owner of Park Ave. Derm in New York City. “It also has a natural-appearing tint, which can help to camouflage acne and redness in additional to niacinamide to help combat inflammation.” Forever a staple in beach bags and bathroom cabinets alike, sunscreen should be easy enough to understand by now. Dispense, slather, bask—how difficult is that? But sunscreen isn’t as straightforward as the poolside days of the past might have you think. There are now more options than ever, and while they offer a variety of sun-protective ingredients and supplementary perks—such as antioxidants, elegant finishes, and delightfully weightless formulations—it can be harder to choose what might work best for you. Pro Tip: Layer underneath your foundation for fuller color coverage or use with Face Shield Glow or Face Shield Bronze to enhance your look.

To make sure you’re receiving the level of protection you need to prevent sun damage, lower your risk of skin cancer, and keep your skin looking youthful, make sure you apply your sunscreen correctly. When using tinted mineral sunscreen, you should: The Colorescience Sunforgettable Total Protection Face Shield Flex SPF 50 is currently winning the award of my absolute favorite sunscreen (it also wins for the longest product name ever in my routine). It's a mineral formula that offers subtle, tinted coverage while maintaining a lightweight feel. It’s understandable that you may be worried about tinted sunscreen causing acne. For many people, making sure they get adequate sun protection means having to compromise on clear skin. However, Colorescience has formulated sunscreen for acne-prone skin, so you don’t have to worry about breaking out when trying to protect your skin.For oily and/or acne-prone skin, choose noncomedogenic, oil-free, fragrance-free, and lightweight sunscreens,” Blair Murphy-Rose, MD, FAAD, board-certified cosmetic and medical dermatologist at Laser & Skin Surgery Center of New York, tells Glamour. Additionally, the ideal sunscreen for acne-prone and oily skin will have acne-fighting and anti-inflammatory ingredients, like lactic acid and niacinamide, Murphy-Rose adds. There are so many places and faces where No-Show™ Mineral can be used for powerful, all-mineral defense without compromising between protection and skin that looks beautifully like your skin. My goal for the year has been to incorporate sunscreen into my daily routine to combat redness and hyperpigmentation. In my search for the perfect tinted mineral sunscreen, I decided to try one from EltaMD (photo on left) and one from Colorescience (photo on right). Both photos taken after about 10 hours of wear (sorry - some rubbing off where the mask touched). Hoping my review will help someone else.
