What to know about non-comedogenic matte sunscreens
Our non-comedogenic score reads the ingredient list for known pore-clogging emollients and heavy oils, so a high score means the formula is unlikely to trigger breakouts.
The matte facet looks for shine-absorbing ingredients like silica and a low load of occlusive oils, which matters here because oily skin that breaks out also wants finish control, and the two goals reinforce each other in the same formula.
Frequently asked questions
Are matte sunscreens better for acne-prone skin?
Often, since a matte formula usually skips the heavy oils that clog pores. Our score reads the ingredient list for both pore-clogging risk and shine control so you can find formulas that do both.
Does a non-comedogenic claim guarantee no breakouts?
No, the term is unregulated and skin varies. That is why our score reads the actual ingredient list for known comedogenic ingredients instead of relying on the label claim.
