PHYSICAL SUNSCREEN FOR ACNE...

ACNE PRODUCTS CHICO, CA    916SKIN - ACNE & WELLNESS CLINIC

A physical sunscreen works by deflecting and scattering the sun's ultra violet rays when they reach the skin's surface. Physical sunscreen is preferred for those with sensitive skin, inflamed acne, or for those prone to acne that is triggered or exacerbated by the sun.

The most commonly used active ingredients in a physical sunscreen are titanium dioxide and zinc oxide. Over-the counter physical sunscreens, generally do not contain a high enough percentage of these active ingredients to provide the protection needed when on an acne skincare system or treatment plan. Look for a physical sunscreen that offers at least 7% zinc oxide, 7% titanium dioxide, or both. With today's professional formulations, 9% to 18% zinc and titanium can be found at acne clinics, medical spas and dermatology centers. These advanced formulations are an entire new breed of sunscreen. They glide on weightless and silky smooth with no residue. Thick, pastey sunscreens are now a thing of the past!
