The trick is to choose products that have been specially formulated for acne-prone skin and that have been clinically and dermatologically proven to give skin the protection it needs without blocking pores, adding sheen or triggering and exacerbating acne.
Choose light creams, fluids or gels. A lighter texture doesn’t mean you need to compromise on high protection. Look out also for products labelled ‘non-comedogenic’ - this means they don’t contain ingredients that might block pores and trigger blemishes.
Eucerin Sun Gel-Creme Oil Control offers a light texture and comes in both SPF 30+ and 50+. Both SPFs are non-comedogenic and are clinically and dermatologically proven to be suitable for blemish-prone skin. They deliver a long-lasting mattifying effect and contain sebum-regulating L-Carnitine to help improve your skin condition.
If you use an acid-based skin peel or resurfacing treatment such as Eucerin’s highly effective DERMOPURE Skin Renewal Treatment then it’s important to remember that your skin will be even more sensitive to UVA and UVB rays. We recommend you use the product in the evening and ensure that you apply a high protection factor the following morning.
