Question : I want suggestions on tinted sunscreen for combination skin types(mostly dry) with acne-prone/large pores skin. I'm also exposed to blue light for more than 7-8 hours daily.

Can be used

Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for the query.
Tinted sunscreen such as photobloc is good and effective.
These sunscreens apart from being chemical sunscreens also act as a physical barrier due to their color and thickness.
Only drawback is that it is visible on face post application.
Thick sunscreens are greasy and hence are suitable for dry face.
Let me know if you have any other doubts.
Thank you.
