Which type of sunblock should I use to prevent acne and oily face?

Doctor's Answer

Hi V – it’s important to use a sunblock, not to prevent oily skin, but to prevent skin aging and skin damage – in the form of wrinkles, pigmentation, increased risk of skin cancer.

If you are prone to oily skin, you can go to Watsons/Guardian etc in Singapore to buy a sunblock with SPF 50 that’s suitable for acne-prone skin.

These are usually non-comedogenic: ie oil-free, alcohol-free and with a water base.

Cheers
