Could You Please Suggest Some Medicated/organic Sunscreen For Oily-acne Prone Skin?

Hello Sir , I have oily-acne prone skin and on top of that I suffer from sweating problem. So in Delhi's summers , especially in humidity , acne aggravates and almost no sunscreen suits my skin type. Could you please suggest some medicated/organic ( harsh chemical free ) sunscreen for my skin type ?

Hello,
Thank you for posting on HCM.
Routine sunscreen had liability to clog pores and to irritate skin thus attributing to acne. Thus right choice of sunscreen according to skin type is of utmost importance.
As you are having oily skin and prone to acne i would recommend you a water-based sunscreen like Suncote sunscreen gel for regular use. As its water based gel, it had least chances of clogging your pores and induce acne.
Always use good quality cleanser like Cetaphil OS to rinse your face.

Hope this will take care of your issue
Thank you
