What type of sunscreen is best for acne-prone skin?

Acne skin care products can leave your skin more vulnerable to the sun, and without the proper protection, can increase your risk for skin cancer. Used properly, the correct acne skin care system can do wonders for clearing your skin, but without UV protection, your products will do more harm than good – in the long run.

Skin cancer is the most common type of cancer in the United States with over 1 million people diagnosed each year. Although skin cancer is highly preventable through proper protection, an estimated 65% of melanoma skin cancers, and a whopping  90% of non-melanoma skin cancers are associated with exposure to the sun’s UV radiation.*
