So I am one of those people who likes to wear spf on my face everyday but I do suffer from the breakouts this can cause. I have extremely combination skin and am looking for a really good non comedogenic (doesn't block pores) spf moisturiser for everyday. any suggestions are much appreciated, thank you.

It sounds like you need a physical sunscreen rather than a chemical one. I suggest the Drunk Elephant Umbra. It's a physical sunscreen with SPF 30.

If you want a drug store recommendation I like the clear face sunscreen lotion by neutrogena - it hasn't contributed to any breakouts for me - and I have pretty sensitive skin - I just mix it with whatever moisturizer I want to use and it works great

Otherwise right now I'm using one by Paula's choice the skin balancing SPF moisturizer - it's also really great for my sensitive acne prone skin - doesn't feel heavy or greasy either which is nice

What does the rest of your skincare routine look like, and how sensitive are you?

It can get a little complicated. Physical sunscreens are notorious for clogging pores in those prone to that sort of acne. Chemical sunscreen can bring on breakouts because it can irritate more sensitive skin. Everyone is different, of course.

I would find a happy medium. Let your moisturizer do it's thing and get an entirely separate, physical Broad Spectrum Spray, like Dr. Jart Sheer Mineral Sun Spray.

I do agree with Diana that some of Paula's are great for acne! I believe many of hers are blends of both physical and chemical, but she does have some stand alone SPF choices. I personally love and use her Resist tinted lite, which is a hint of moisture with fantastic SPF. The Skin Balancing is really nice, as Diana noted. I also use and enjoy both the Dr. Jart Spray and Elta MD's tinted formulation. I'm big on sun protection, but I do enjoy mixing it up now and again.
