It depends on your skin type. Check out my current post on some the best sunscreens rated by EWG. Maybe you’ll find something there for your skin type.

so what’s a good one that won’t break me the hell out. What’s the point of wearing anything at all if one gives you wrinkles or the other gives you zits?

Your skin might be sensitive. You might want to switch to mineral/physical sunscreen.

I have noticed that products containing oxybenzone have given me an allergic reaction. I also noted that it was made worse by sunlight.

Avon is using Oxybenzone in their Anew lipcolor line. I find it amusing — and alarming — that they are adding it to a lipstick promoted to reduce wrinkling and to create more youthful lips. This ingredient may block the sun’s rays, but what is the use when it allows free radicals to enter the body, which are largely to blame for signs of aging to begin with? Talk about irony…
