What makes a good sunscreen for acne-prone skin

Sunscreens with zinc oxide and titanium dioxide defend against UV rays to prevent post-acne marks, while formulas with niacinamide and Centella Asiatica help calm breakouts and control oil. Additional ingredients like aloe vera and hyaluronic acid offer soothing hydration without feeling greasy.
