2nding that it's a bit overkill.
wouldn't pay to use anything above 30-40 personally. but people in these threads have different priorities/dedication.

see image. note that this is only for UVB.

not quite sure what you're referring to in the description, but I assume that you're talking about some kind of closed comedo/whitehead.

>Any recommendations
reading the links in OP would be a good start
specifically "popping pimples"

have you tried going to a derm? you should do that and try some antifungals. proven efficacy for that condition.

as for the other stuff:
>bar soap
did you try ordinary alkaline-fat soap (bad), or one with synthetic detergents (generally good)?

>Facial washers just scrape away my skin and make it redder
have you tried those formulated to take good care of sensitive skin?

>Moisturizers make my skin greasy and the rashes get worse
you could try a water-based (humectant) moisturizer. there are moisturizers designed for skin conditions like different kinds of dermatitis.

what products have you tried previously?

I think you should see a derm if you haven't done so already. if that haven't worked, then you should see another one

>why not go all in?

because the very few extra percent of protection may not be considered cost-effective by some.

I personally don't bother beyond 30.

in regards to UVB, there is about a 2% difference in blocked radiation between SPF30 and SPF60. see pic. In regards to UVA, which is more relevant in terms of photoaging, make sure that your sunscreen contains ingredients like avobenzone, zinc oxide, or titanium dioxide for example.

Yep. That's because you get about 97% UVB absorption even at SPF 30. And about 93% absorption at SPF 15.
