So I was wanting to buy the lumene bb cream but I read that it has chemical sunscreen and it's not good for normal to oily skin and also sensitive/acne prone skin. Is that true?

If so I guess I could buy the bb cream without the SPF...and under the bb cream put on moisturizer with SPF? Would that work? I'm so confused with all theses different sunscreens

Hmm, while I can't shed any light on the whole sunscreen debate, I do have the Lumene BB cream, and I have extremely dry skin. In my experience, the BB cream is fine and actually very nice on its own, but with the inclusion of a daily moisturizer my skin felt like it was grease pit that was just melting throughout the day. I really don't think this is a good product choice for anyone with very oily skin, it would probably feel pretty disgusting after a while.
