What is the Best Sunscreen to Use After Active Fx?

Thank you for your question. Use at least a spf 30, and preferably a zinc or titanium one.  Avoid the ones with micronized particles as they can sometimes enter the skin and cause irritation.  Neutrogena, Aveeno and Topix make good Zinc screens as to Skin Ceuticals, Obaji, Skin Medica, and the  other common ones. I hope this helps!

There are many great sunscreens out there that will work after an ActiveFX treatment. You should wait until all the crusts are gone, 5-9 days, depending on what settings were used on you before applying any sunscreen to your skin. You should stick with sunscreens that are physical blocking types, meaning they have zinc or titanium as the sunblock ingredient. These are much more effective and tend to last longer. We happen to like the Obagi 35 SPF and Skinceuticals Sheer Physical UV Defense SPF 50 products, though there are others that are great as well.
