I'm using Stieva-A (Retin-A) and my derma said to avoid products with alcohol and use sun screen since Retin-A makes my skin UV sensitive or whatever.

So while I was applying the sun screen in the morning I realized that it kinda felt like it burned/irritated my skin, so I decided to read the ingredients and I fucking fund alcohol in it (I doubt it was the alcohol that made my skin irritate tho). I asked my sister if there is sun screen without alcohol and she said that they don't sell them without alcohol in the places near where I live.

So wtf do I do, do I keep using sun screen or do I drop it? Is the damage from the sun worst than the effects of the alcohol?

I almost never go out, only when the sun is almost down to the gym and by car.

Note: I apply Retin-A at nights and sun screen in the mornings
 
Tell me which alcohol, not all alchohols are bad/drying

Amazon product ASIN B07CSH8JBV
Wtf does "invisible fluid 42 ppd" mean tho?

That looks like the NA version. You need the European version to get the ingredients that give high UVA protection. You can get it from caretobeauty (don't know if they ship to canada, you have to create an account and check).
