Hey everyone - I was wondering if anyone could give me recommendations for a good sunscreen for acne prone and combination (more oily) skin. 
I've had acne for years now and know that I should use sunscreen but every time I try anything new, I always break out from it. I've still got acne, but I'm now more concerned about the scarring and I need a good sunscreen to prevent it from darkening and to protect my skin in general.
Just wondering if anyone has similar skin type to me and has found a good sunscreen to use that doesn't clog pores and break you out? Thanks!

I love the Oasis Knock out one and my skin is blemish prone.
Best part is you can try before you buy.  I haven't checked but they used to have a sample request service on their webpage... otherwise you can pop in to your local health shop and see if the have samples there... or try out the tester?

My skin can be blemish prone (but is more dry than oily) and I love the Joyce Blok Sunscreen. It is super light and sinks in quickly without leaving a a residue at all so you shouldn't find it has too much effect on your oily prone skin.

I was just about to say Oasis too. I picked up a sample from my local health food store recently so they are about.

I am jumping on this Oasis bandwagon because i love this sunscreen! I can use it on my face, which has an oily t-zone, aswell as the rest of my body and its not greasy at all!

Hey hun I use Nimue Sun C which is a tad high on price but it's the only product along with another one I can't remember the name of that doesn't make me break out xx

On the cheaper end of the scale I used (and have used for a long, long time) the Nivea Sun Light Feel Daily Face Veil.

It's SPF 30 and usually costs around $10 in the supermarket.  I have repurchased this every year for as long as I can remember, and never been disappointed.  My skin tends towards oily and blemish prone when it's grumpy x

Yes I'd totally recommend oasis as well. They have spf in their moisturizers as well. Double whammy product

I like the Aveeno positively radiant. Sinks in quickly and feels light on the skin. No issues for me, though I have normal skin.
