Shopping for sunscreen requires just as much care and attention as shopping for cleansers, serums, or moisturizers. According to Dr. Kassir, it’s important to prioritize “lightweight, oil-free, and mineral-based formulas.” Here are a few ingredients Dr. Kassir says to look out for:
Zinc Oxide: Found on the label of every sunscreen, zinc oxide “is a physical sun blocker that sits on top of your skin, reflecting harmful UV rays. It’s especially good for sensitive or acne-prone skin since it doesn’t clog pores.”
Titanium Dioxide: “Another gentle, physical blocker that’s great for keeping your skin protected without causing breakouts.”
Niacinamide: “Known for its soothing and anti-inflammatory properties, niacinamide helps control oil production, reducing the risk of clogged pores.”
Hyaluronic Acid: “This is a great hydrating ingredient that works without adding heavy oils, which makes it perfect for those prone to breakouts.”
