I'm using tretinon and i need a high sunscreen spf. any sunscreen recommendations?

A personal favorite: I like La Roche Posay Anthelios 60 because it is ultra lite and absorbs well. It has antioxidant technology UVA A and B protection. There are many other products out there which are just as good and may be less expensive. This is just a personal opinion. Ask your Derm what they recommend. Make sure you use enough sunscreen and apply often.
