SPF for Every Skin Type: What to Use and What to Avoid
Choosing the right sunscreen is not one-size-fits-all. Different skin types need different formulas. Here's your go-to guide for SPF that actually works with your skin – not against it.
For Oily & Acne-Prone Skin
- Look for oil-free or mattifying sunscreens
- SVR Sebiaclear Cream SPF50+ helps control shine without clogging pores
- Gel-based or fluid formulas are best
For Dry or Dehydrated Skin
- Choose sunscreens with hydrating ingredients like glycerin or hyaluronic acid
- Avene Very High Protection Cream SPF50+ nourishes while protecting
- Avoid formulas with high alcohol content
For Sensitive or Reactive Skin
- Go for mineral-based or fragrance-free options
- Bioderma Photoderm AR SPF50+ is designed to calm redness and protect fragile skin
- Always patch test before applying to your face
Pro tip: No matter your skin type, reapply every 2 hours and don’t skip SPF indoors if you're by a window.
