Should I use mineral sunscreen if I'm acne-prone?

Yes. Stick with mineral sunscreens (zinc oxide, titanium dioxide) because chemical filters like oxybenzone, avobenzone, octinoxate, and octisalate can irritate oily or acne-prone skin and clog pores. Also avoid heavy oils, fragrances, and “dewy” formulas. Look for lightweight, non-nano, oil-free, non-comedogenic mineral options. If you must use chemical sunscreen, try a gel-based one with newer filters like Tinosorb S or Uvinul A Plus, but test it first.
