Best daily SPF for skin recovering from cystic acne

My poor skin has had a hideous bout of cystic acne which, hopefully, seems to be on the way out thanks in part to my obsessive new Korean skincare regime.

I need a decent facial SPF for the summer but I’m really worried about it causing breakouts.

Does anyone have a recommendation I can try?

I had a bout of cystic acne a year ago after only ever having 1/2 a month, I suddenly had 8 at once. It turned out to be the cod liver oil I had started taking so I stopped that, treated with Duac for a few weeks and then started a Caroline Hirons-inspired skin routine - absolute lifesaver!!

My skin would always break out using SPF so I didn't bother unless I was actually going to be sitting out for a long time and then I'd always suffer the consequences for a week or so afterwards. It was a nightmare.

I've been using Biore watery essence every day for a year with ZERO breakouts! I'm so happy with it. I know everyone's skin will be different and it's expensive to try lots of things and have them not work but this, along with the new routine has saved my skin.

Biore watery essence SPF 50 is fantastic. And Korean.
