items I have acne prone and allergic skin, and after many years of trial and error I have found products that not only calm my skin, but provide great sun protection and sit well under makeup. Below are some of my best recommendations.
This sunscreen has a rating of 100/100 on the Yuka app (which means that it is ‘clean’ and contains no harmful ingredients). It does not clog pores and is safe for those with allergic skin. It also sits well under makeup.

Caudalie sunscreen (100/100 rating on Yuka app)
