Hello,

Basically, I have acne. I use a cleaner, a toner (but I will be changing to a skin softener) and a moisturizer with spf. I have noticed that the spf is irritating my skin and exacerbating breakouts.

I recently found a new moisturizer from Shiseido but it does not have spf. I feel like I don't even want to use an sun blocker anymore but I know that I do need to protect against sun damage.

Does anyone have a good suggestion as to what product might be useful or have any suggestions?

Use oil-free, non-comedogenic moisturizers, which do not aggravate acne. There are oil-free moisturizers on the market, such as Neutrogena Oil-Free Moisture, Olay Complete Oil-Free All Day Moisture or Aveeno Positively Radiant Daily Moisturizer. These moisturizers have an SPF of 15 that will help protect you against the sun's harmful rays.

Thank for replying.

I have been doing some checking and found that the vichey line excels with their sun protection products (and range) though their other products may fall short.

I will do a search on the products you listed and see if I can find a match.

Thanks.
