Sunscreen makes me break out??

Usually I don’t break out much just a pimple here or there sometimes.

I started working outside the last couple months so I’ve been wearing sunscreen daily and it’s causing me to break out a lot more than usual. I tried a non comedogenic sunscreen (neutrogena sport face) and it doesn’t make any difference.

Should I just follow Mariomiamis advice and stop wearing sunscreen?

When I was mid 40's sunscreen started making me break out in rashes on my legs and arms. I tried a lot of different ones but so far the only one I can use on my body is this Neutrogena Sheer Zinc Kids Mineral Sunscreen Lotion with Broad Spectrum SPF 50+. Just used it yesterday at the beach and so far so good. I use Asian ones for my face and I've never had an issue with them.

ETUDE Sunprise Mild Watery Light SPF50+/PA+++ 1.7 fl. Oz (50ml) (21AD) | Light Moisturizing Sunblock for Sensitive Skin |

Biore UV Aqua Rich Watery 50 g Sunscreen SPF 50 + / PA ++++

use one made for the face - formulation is different to not clog

that is why body one is much cheaper

i have acne prone and sensitive skin. i usually have to do tons of research for products. cant just go buy something off the shelf.

ive been using la roche-posay and it seems to be doing good so far. it's $32 though. But if your skin is like mine you basically have to get the expensive stuff.

At the very least no fragrances. fragrances ****s my skin up bad.
