What to know about non-comedogenic hydrating sunscreens
Our non-comedogenic score reads the ingredient list for pore-clogging oils and emollients, so a high score means the formula is unlikely to trigger breakouts.
The hydrating facet looks for humectants like glycerin and hyaluronic acid that draw in water, and this matters here because dry, acne-prone skin needs that moisture from lightweight humectants rather than from the heavy oils that clog pores.
Frequently asked questions
Can a sunscreen be hydrating without clogging pores?
Yes, humectants like glycerin add moisture without the pore-clogging risk of heavy oils. Our score reads the ingredient list for both so you can find a hydrating formula that stays clear.
What hydrates acne-prone skin without breakouts?
