We get it—you want to protect your skin from damaging UV rays without inciting a full-on breakout. The best noncomedogenic sunscreen formulas allow you to apply daily SPF without having to sacrifice your hard-fought, clear skin. “Noncomedogenic just means that a formula doesn’t have ingredients that will clog pores,” board-certified dermatologist Dara Spearman, MD, tells Vogue. “This is especially important for people with acne-prone skin. Like any beauty product, sunscreen formulas may contain ingredients that cause pore congestion, so be sure to look for labels such as ‘noncomedogenic’ and ‘oil-free.’”
