What sunscreen should I use with tretinoin?
When using tretinoin, it is important to choose a broad-spectrum sunscreen with an SPF of at least 30. Look for sunscreens that are water-resistant and contain physical blockers like zinc oxide or titanium dioxide, as these are often gentler on the skin. Apply the sunscreen generously and reapply regularly, especially if you are spending time outdoors.
Key points:
- Use a broad-spectrum sunscreen for maximum protection.
- Choose a sunscreen with at least SPF 30.
- Opt for physical blockers like zinc oxide or titanium dioxide.
- Reapply sunscreen regularly, especially when outdoors.
