โ Frequently Asked Questions
This sunscreen should be used with caution during pregnancy and breastfeeding. It contains Salicylic Acid (BHA) and chemical UV filters including Octinoxate (Ethylhexyl Methoxycinnamate), which some healthcare providers recommend avoiding during pregnancy. While the concentrations are generally considered safe for topical use, consult your doctor or midwife before using this product if you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding. Consider switching to a mineral/physical sunscreen with zinc oxide during this time.
No, this sunscreen is NOT safe for fungal acne (malassezia/pityrosporum folliculitis). The formula contains several ingredients that can feed the Malassezia yeast, including Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea) Butter, Sorbitan Stearate, and various esters. If you have fungal acne, look for sunscreens specifically formulated to be FA-safe, such as La Roche-Posay Anthelios UVMune 400 Invisible Fluid or Paula's Choice Youth-Extending Daily Hydrating Fluid SPF 50.
Yes, but with some considerations. This sunscreen already contains BHA (Salicylic Acid), so using additional BHA products may cause over-exfoliation. For retinol: Use retinol at night, sunscreen in the morning - they work well together since sunscreen protects retinol-sensitized skin. For Vitamin C: Apply Vitamin C serum first, wait 1-2 minutes, then apply sunscreen - great combination for antioxidant protection. For AHA: Be cautious about layering AHA with this BHA-containing sunscreen; consider using AHA at night instead. Always introduce new actives gradually and watch for signs of irritation.
This sunscreen is best suited for oily, combination, and acne-prone skin types. The Zinc PCA and silica provide excellent oil control, while the matte finish keeps shine at bay throughout the day. The BHA (Salicylic Acid) helps prevent clogged pores and breakouts. It may be too mattifying for those with dry or very dry skin - if that's you, consider applying a hydrating moisturizer underneath or choosing a more hydrating sunscreen formula.
You'll notice immediate results in terms of matte finish and sun protection. For oil control benefits, most users see consistent improvement within 1-2 weeks of daily use. The BHA (Salicylic Acid) takes about 4-6 weeks to show visible improvements in pore clarity and reduced breakouts. Long-term sun protection benefits (prevention of dark spots, premature aging) develop with consistent daily use over 8+ weeks. Remember that sunscreen is primarily a preventive measure - the best results come from daily, year-round use.
Sunscreen should always be the LAST step of your morning skincare routine, applied after all other products have absorbed. The correct order is: Cleanser โ Toner โ Essence (optional) โ Serum โ Eye Cream โ Moisturizer โ Sunscreen. Wait 1-2 minutes between each step for absorption. Apply sunscreen at least 15 minutes before sun exposure for optimal protection. If wearing makeup, apply sunscreen before primer/foundation - it works well as a makeup primer due to its matte finish.
This sunscreen has a low comedogenic rating of 1/5, meaning it's unlikely to clog pores for most people. It's specifically formulated for acne-prone skin and contains BHA (Salicylic Acid) to help keep pores clear. The formula is also free from common pore-clogging ingredients like heavy mineral oils and comedogenic oils. However, everyone's skin is different - if you're prone to closed comedones, do a patch test first. The Shea Butter in the formula, while moisturizing, can occasionally cause issues for some acne-prone individuals.
The Period After Opening (PAO) for this sunscreen is 12 months. After opening, use the product within one year for optimal effectiveness and safety. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and high temperatures, which can degrade the UV filters. Signs that your sunscreen has expired include changes in texture, color, smell, or separation of ingredients. For best results, write the opening date on the tube. Note: The 30ml size typically lasts 1-2 months with daily facial application, so you'll likely finish it before the PAO expires.
Verdict: The Y.O.U Sunbrella Triple UV Acne Care Sunscreen SPF 50+ is an excellent choice for those with oily and acne-prone skin seeking high sun protection with skincare benefits. The combination of BHA, Zinc PCA, and 5 ceramides makes it more than just a sunscreen - it's a multitasking product that controls oil, fights breakouts, and protects against UV damage, blue light, and infrared rays. The lightweight, matte finish works beautifully under makeup and throughout hot, humid days. However, it's not suitable for those with fungal acne or anyone seeking a pregnancy-safe or reef-safe option. At its affordable price point, it offers excellent value for oily-skinned individuals in Southeast Asia and beyond.

However one type of alcohols, simple alcohols can be quite drying to the skin because it evaporates very quickly. This can cause irritation which can also lead to other skin complications. These alcohols should never be used alone on your skin, but combined with other cosmetic ingredients, they are normally without issue.

Silicone-Free
Silicone-Free
Understanding Silicones
If you've ever used a skincare, makeup or beauty product that's made your skin look and feel smoother tempoarily - it's likely contained Silicone. They are a popular class of ingredients found in cosmetics due to their smooth, soft, easy-to-spread and smooth properties that help creates an artificial layer/barrier on top of skin or hair (commonly found in conditioners).
For the same reasons they are popularly used, they are also commonly avoided. Anecdotally, many individuals have reported that Silicones cause/excerbate breakouts, irritation, cause a feeling of skin being unable to breathe, cause clumping of cosmetic products and find it difficult to wash off. As a result, those who find them problematic are avoiding them and increasingly, cosmetic companies are avoiding them as well.
If you have had bad experiences with Silicones in the past, or suspect they are problematic then look out for the tick on the Silicone-free label.
Disclaimer
The Silicone-free label only includes the most common Silicone ingredients that have indentified been reported by individuals that could potentially cause issues.
These include: Amodimethicone, Behenoxy Dimethicone, Bis-Aminopropyl Dimethicone, Cetearyl Methicone, Cetyl Dimethicone, Cyclomethicone, Cyclopentasiloxane, Dimethicone, Dimethicone Copolyol, Dimethiconol, Methicone, Phenyl Trimethicone, Phenyl Trimethicone, Stearoxy Dimethicone, Stearyl Dimethicone, Trimethylsilylamodimethicone.
Note, that this does not include all ingredients part of the Silicone class of ingredients.
EU Allergen-Free
EU Allergen-Free
Understanding the Identified Contact Allergens
The EU's Scientific Committee on Consumer Safety (SCCS) has identified and established 26 cosmetic ingredients that are likely contact allergens (potential to cause skin allergies) as demonstrated in clinical or epidemiological studies. The EU's SCCS have recommend cosmetic companies to disclose them on the labels if used and in cases where the concentration exceeds 0.001% in leave-on products and 0.01% in rinse-off products, then they must be labelled.
Look out for the tick on the EU-Allergen free label to know your cosmetic is free from any of the 26 identified cosmetic ingredients.
For more information regarding the EU's Scientific Committee on Consumer Safety, please visit their official website.
Disclaimer
The EU Allergen Free label is for the 26 ingredients identified by the EU SCCS and products will be only flagged if a suspected ingredient is on it's ingredient list. It is possible for cosmetics to contain one of the suspect ingredients without it appearing on the ingredient list due to it not reaching the concentration threshold to disclose it and cosmetic manufacturers choice to not disclose it.
Also note, the EU Allergen Free label is not personalized for your own allergies you may have and it does not constitute as medical advice. For your specific case, always consult your medical professiona such as dermatologist, physician, pharmacist, or health care provider - please read our medical disclaimer for more information.
Fungal Acne (Molassezia) Safe
Fungal Acne (Molassezia) Safe
Understanding Fungal Acne (Pityrosporum Folliculitis/Malassezia Folliculitis)
Pityrosporum Folliculitis/Malassezia folliculitis or simply known as Fungal Acne is a persistent acne-like condition that commonly responds poorly to traditional acne-treating methods. Unlike most cases of Acne where bacteria is the culprit, Fungi is the culprit of Fungal Acne (Hence the name!). There are certain classes & groups of ingredients that have been shown to promote and feed the growth of the Fungal Acne, Fungi such as fatty acids, oils, esters, polysorbates and fermented ingredients.
For more information regarding Fungal Acne, please visit Simple Skincare Science (f.c) - #3 of our Recommend Skincare Resources for an amazing comprehensive guide!
Please Read: How to use the Fungal Acne (Malassezia) Label
At SkinCarisma, we've done our best to identify as many ingredients as possible but note the fungal-free label may not be 100% accurate due to the complexconditions and combination of ingredients that malezzeria can thrive on.
Additionally, products that may contain ingredients that have shown to feed Malassezia may not neccessarily exacerbate the condition due to concentration of ingredient used in the product, this information is simply not available on the products.
As a result, please note this is only an experimental label that can be best used to possible identify problematic products you have used in the past. It is in no way a perfect identifier nor a predictor in whether or not it will exacerbate or cause fungal acne. It will continue to be worked on as more information and research comes to light.
If you find any ingredients you believe should be included, please email us at snails@skincarisma.com.
Disclaimer
Due to the lack of substantial research into this area it is very likely there are other ingredients and class/groups of ingredients that could feed Fungal Acne which have not been indentified.
The Fungal-Safe label does not constitute as medical advice. For your specific case, always consult your medical professiona such as dermatologist, physician, pharmacist, or health care provider - please read our medical disclaimer for more information.
What are Notable Effects & Ingredients?
Ever used a product that promised a certain effect but provided no results? It might not have contained any notable ingredients that could have been responsible for that promised effect. It doesn't matter what the marketing or packaging ยซpromisesยป it can do, if it doesn't contain anything that can help - then the likelihood of it helping is low.
We help you identify key notable ingredients that have been shown to help with effects such as acne-fighting, brightening, UV-protection, wound healing & anti-aging to help you achieve your skincare goals smarter. Please note that different notable ingredients have varying levels of research behind them, some are extremely well proven yet some have mixed research in their efficacy.
Pro Tip Alert!
Just because a product doesn't contain any notable ingredients doesn't mean it's bad. And a product with notable ingredients (or even many) doesn't necessarily guarantee the efficacy of the product performing these effects either. There are other factors such as ingredient quality, concentration and formulation that will ultimately determine this.
Be smart and use this as just a starting point for you to make more informed and smarter choices and compare it with reviews to see if the product is right for you

What are Ingredients Related to Skin Type?
Why are some products great for some people and horrible for others? Well everyone has different skin types and different reactions to the same ingredients.
We've identified a range of ingredients that are commonly regarded as potentially good or bad for those with Dry, Oily/Acne-Prone or Sensitive skin.
Pro Tip Alert!
A product that contains good or bad ingredients for your skin type doesn't always flat out make the entire product good or bad for your skin. There are other factors such as ingredient quality, concentration and formulation that will ultimately determine your skins reaction.
One of the best ways to use this section is to troubleshoot products you've had bad experiences with in the past. Check if it contains any of the marked ingredients to point out suspect ingredients to avoid in the future!

What is the Ingredient Safety Breakdown?
Ingredient Safety Breakdown refers to the percentage % of ingredients in different risk categories as classified by EWG (Environment Working Group) if they are available. There are almost endless cosmetic ingredients and they are one of the few organisations globally that have assigned ratings to a lot of the more commonly used ingredients which is why we reference them.
Pro Tip Alert!
EWG is seen by many to be more on the alarmist side in their assignment of health ratings resulting in rating ingredients as riskier than they actually are. We recommend using this a reference point rather than a strict guide of ingredient safety and to always do further research if into ingredients that you may find suspect.
