Pure Zinc Acne & Sensitive Skin SPF 50: High Protection Without Breakouts
Acne-prone skin needs sun protection more than any other type, especially if you’re using treatments that increase sensitivity. But many sunscreens clog pores, feel heavy or trigger new breakouts. Pure Zinc Acne & Sensitive Skin SPF 50 solves that problem. With 25% non-nano zinc oxide and a non-comedogenic base infused with organic tea tree oil, it delivers high, broad-spectrum protection that won’t suffocate skin. It rubs in clear, feels lightweight, and helps soothe irritated, breakout-prone areas. Protection, not congestion, so you don’t have to choose between clear skin and safe skin.
Why it's the Smart Sunscreen for Acne & Sensitive Skin

Pure Zinc Acne & Sensitive Skin SPF 50 is ideal if you’re using:
Prescription retinoids (e.g. tretinoin), Over-the-counter retinol or retinal, AHAs/BHAs (glycolic acid, salicylic acid), Benzoyl peroxide, Azelaic acid or niacinamide serums.
These active ingredients make skin more sun-sensitive, meaning unprotected exposure can lead to burns, irritation and worsening hyperpigmentation. This mineral formula creates a calm, protective envelope over skin so your treatments can work without interference from UV damage.
Because it’s non-comedogenic, fragrance-free and mineral-only, it’s far less likely to sting, burn or trigger flare-ups on compromised skin barriers. It also helps protect post-spot marks from darkening, which is key when you’re trying to fade old pigmentation.

Why Acne-Prone Skin Needs SPF
If you’re battling breakouts, sun cream can feel like the enemy, many formulas feel heavy, clog pores and leave you shinier than before. But skipping SPF makes things worse. UV exposure on inflamed skin can:
- Deepen post-acne marks and hyperpigmentation
- Slow healing and increase redness
- Increase risk of scarring
- Dry the surface while increasing oil production underneath
If you use retinoids, benzoyl peroxide, AHAs/BHAs or prescription acne treatments, your skin is even more vulnerable to UV damage.
Pure Zinc Acne & Sensitive Skin SPF 50 is designed so that you no longer have to choose between clear skin and protection. The lightweight, oil-balanced base and non-comedogenic formula are specifically created for acne-prone and sensitive skin, so you can wear it daily without worrying about new congestion.
Zinc Oxide & Tea Tree: Our Unbeatable Duo for Breakout Skin
Zinc oxide isn’t just a UV filter, it’s naturally soothing and mildly antimicrobial, which makes it a smart choice for acne-prone complexions. It forms a protective, breathable layer on top of skin that:
- Shields against further irritation from UV, wind and pollution
- Helps calm visible redness associated with breakouts
- Reduces the risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (dark marks)
We’ve paired this with organic tea tree oil, a botanical known for its purifying, clarifying properties. At carefully balanced concentrations, tea tree can:
- Help reduce the appearance of active blemishes
- Support a clearer-looking complexion over time
- Provide a fresh, “clean” feel without harsh alcohols
The result is a sunscreen that not only protects but also respects breakout-prone and sensitive skin. The supporting base includes hydrating, barrier-friendly ingredients (glycerol, sunflower oil, sodium hyaluronate) designed to keep skin comfortable, not stripped, crucial for long-term barrier health and calmer skin.

Let customers speak for us
from 591 reviewsExceptional! I have Rosacea and this was a dream on my skin. Thank you so much. It even improved the way my foundation sits on the skin so I’ll be using it every day as a primer.
The cream is a little thick but spreads quite easily. It's totally clear, no white caste. I've tried lots of different mineral sunscreens and will definitely buy this one again.
Rainbow x4 Colour Zinc Stick Value Pack: Pink, Blue, Yellow, Green SPF 50+ Zinc Oxide Sunblock
I am a 43 year old woman with fair skin. In my 20's I was chasing that golden glow & severely burnt my chest & neck area (2nd degree burns). I have always used factor 40 or 50 on this area since but as I am getting older & my skin is changing, being in the sun used to just make the area really red & itchy with prickly heat symptoms. This would last for weeks after a holiday.
I came across Zapper online. I only remember seeing this in bright colours on surfers, however when I saw the beige colour tone I had nothing to lose. Instant order! Delivered in 3 days.
I applied it every morning on holiday & I cannot recommend this product enough. It was so convenient in its handy little stick. Not messy. I didn't need to re-apply. No prickly heat. No redness. No issues what-so-ever. I will 100% re-order. I have recommended to friends already. I used it on my daughters face as usual sun creams were drying her skin out. It was brilliant so I then used it on my face as sun creams make my skin oily.
Zapper will now be my holiday must have!
Give it a go. You will not be disappointed!
