Can SPF make you break out?

This may sound odd, but I feel like everytime I use a moisturizer with SPF I break out...is this possible??

Do you use an oil free? I use Olay Complete with SPF 15 and it's for sensitive skin. It depends on the moisturizer

Use mineral makeup they have an SPF of 15 to 17%. The moisturiser might have a acid , like an aha or bha that makes you breakout???

You could be allergic to the chemical. Don't be fooled by the words hypo sensitive or low sensitivity. It just means that the risk are lower for an allergic reaction. You still can be allergic to it.

I would check with your dermatologist and see if there is something else you could use instead.

I break out with certain lotions and sunscreens, turns out my doctor says it is an allergy to aloe...
