Hi This is dr.Akhila. Any gel based sunscreen should do good for acne prone skin. Spf 30+ is good enough. U can start using la sheild spf 40 gel based sunscreen( please do meet a doctor to recheck on ur skin type) Any which ways your skin will continue to produce oil so even matte finished sunscreen may become a lil greasy after 2-3 hours recommended to wash it face after 3 hours and re apply the sunscreen.
Health Tips
avoid any kind of cosmetics which make your  skin greasy and comedogenic.
