The 6 Best Sunscreens For Acne-Prone Skin
Six SPF’S for acne prone skin which are as luxurious as they are effective…
For those with acne prone skin, sunscreen can feel like quite a gamble, either its too heavy and clogs up your pores, or its too light and doesn’t give you the protection you need. But modern day formulations have changed the game entirely, offering high SPF factor with weightless textures, skin-soothing ingredients, and no dreaded white cast.
These six standouts changed the SPF game forever, and are as luxurious as they are effective, proving that protection can go hand-in-hand with pampering.
Summer Fridays ShadeDrops Mineral Milk Sunscreen
Think of this as a mineral sunscreen drenched in luxury. The featherlight milk texture glides on to the skin like a serum, enriched with various vitamins and antioxidants, and equipped with soothing chamomile to soothe stressed complexions. Its reef-safe formula and naturally derived tint make it perfect for blending seamlessly across all skin tones – no ashy cast, just a soft-focus finish that feels as good as it looks.
Corsx Ultra Light Invisible Sunscreen SPF 50
Invisible, undetectable, unbeatable. This K-beauty favourite offers high-levels protection in an ultra-light formula that disappears on contact, leaving behind a comfortable matte finish. Perfect for oily or combination skin, it’s the kind of SPF you forget you’re even wearing – until you remember how flawless your skin looks all day.
La Roche Posay Anthelios Oil Control Fluid
Beloved by dermatologists and beauty editors alike, this fluid-textured sunscreen is made for oily, combination, and sensitive skin, making it the perfect sunscreen for acne-prone skin. The oil-control formula increases shine without compromising on hydration, and the subtle tint evens out the skin tone for a fresh, more polished look – no makeup required.
Supergoop! Unseen Sunscreen SPF 50
A timeless sunscreen icon for a reason. Completely invisible, scentless, and weightless, Supergoop!’s cult formula doubles as a makeup primer while defending against UVA, UVB, and even pollution. It smooths over skin like silk, blurring out the imperfections and improving clarity over time – making it the holy grail for both SPF minimalists and maximalists alike.
The Ordinary UV Filters SPF 45 Serum
Serum meets sunscreen in The Ordinary’s innovative broad-spectrum formula.

Non-comedogenic and suitable for all skin types, and it’s proof that SPF can be skincare’s chicest multitasker.
Beauty of Joseon Relief Sun Aqua Fresh (Rice + B5)
The sunscreen that TikTok turned into a global sensation. This ultra-light, non-greasy cream absorbs in seconds, leaving the skin hydrated, soothed, and luminous. Rice extracts and probiotics boost skin barrier health while preventing sun damage, making it as much a skin treatment as it is protection. No white cast, no heaviness, just the glow of glass skin, safely shielded.
