What is a good sunblock for melasma?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Zinc or titanium: We can't recommend specific products on HealthTap. However, the best sunscreen for melasma is something with zinc or titanium oxide, the more, the better. These are physical blockers that will not break down when exposed to sunlight. Other types of sunblock can break down in sunlight, leaving you without protection.
