Description

Is this the right sunscreen for me? This sunscreen is ideal for those with sensitive, acne- and rosacea-prone skin seeking a lightweight, non-greasy SPF that won't clog pores or irritate skin. It is clinically proven to improve texture by 40% and reduce discoloration by 38%. Can I use this sunscreen as a makeup primer? Yes! It is great skin prep because it improves skin texture and tone. The lightweight, non-greasy formula doesn't pill, making it a great layer under makeup. Try our tinted and deep tinted options for a glowy, light coverage foundation substitute. Will it leave a white cast? No, it comes in untinted, tinted, and deep tinted options for a sheer finish. The Deep Tint uses a patent-pending Iron Oxide blend to ensure zero white cast on deeper skin tones. What are the key ingredients? Our advanced hybrid formula uses 9% Zinc Oxide and 7.5% Octinoxate for UV protection, 5% Niacinamide to reduce blemishes, and Vitamin E for antioxidant support. What’s the difference between UV Clear SPF 46 and UV Clear Blemish-Prone & Oil Balancing SPF 50? Both are lightweight and non-comedogenic. However, UV Clear SPF 46 focuses on calming and protecting sensitive skin, while the SPF 50 actively corrects by reducing visible breakouts, controlling excess oil, and refining pores.

Highly recommend.
Style: 1.7 oz
I have a condition called polymorphous light eruption, and am EXTREMELY sun sensitive and burn, blister, and get terrible, itchy rashes within minutes of sun exposure, even on mild days. This is honestly a lifesaver for me. I don’t mind wearing it at all. It’s not greasy, not tacky, doesn’t leave or develop a white film, doesn’t make me sweat to death, and doesn’t feel… just gross… while wearing it. It just feels “normal”. And, of course, it does what it’s supposed to do, and that is it protects my extremely sensitive skin from burning very well. I’m so thankful to have found this product. I feel like I’m getting my life back. It’s expensive, though! Due to that, I wear it just on my face and neck and use cheaper products elsewhere. ... show more

Effective, lightweight, the pump is fixable.
Style: 1.7 oz
As a redhead, sunscreen is always a part of my daily skincare. I have tried so many sunscreens over the years and my dermatologist recommended this. Elta MD Clear is the only facial sunscreen that doesn’t irritate my sensitive skin and protect without a white residue. It is light…even my husband who hates sunscreen on face commends the ease of application. Doesn’t burn my eyes. Works well under powder foundation. It is pricey, but worth it! NOTE: a couple times I’ve noticed the pump stops working, this is bc it is an airless pump system. (Think of those orange pushup popsicles from childhood) To fix, with cap on, turn upside down and hit bottom of bottle 8-10 times and it will pump perfectly. Don’t forget to reapply! ... show more

Really like this sunscreen, but it’s kinda pricey
Style: 1.7 oz
I’ve been using EltaMD UV Clear SPF 46 for a bit now, and honestly, it’s one of the better sunscreens I’ve tried. It feels super light on my skin and doesn’t leave that annoying white cast like some others do. Plus, it doesn’t make me break out, which is huge because I have pretty sensitive skin. The only downside is the price — it’s definitely on the expensive side for everyday sunscreen. I’m willing to pay more for something that actually works and doesn’t irritate my skin, but I wish the bottle was bigger or that it was a bit more affordable, since you gotta reapply sunscreen often. Also, I think it’d be cool if they added some natural ingredients like aloe or argan oil to make it feel a bit more nourishing and soothing, especially for people with dry or sensitive skin. Oh, and fun fact — I saw Bryan Johnson (the biohacker guy who’s super into longevity) uses this brand in one of his videos, so that’s kinda reassuring! Overall, it’s a solid sunscreen that does what it’s supposed to without feeling heavy or greasy. Just wish it gave a little more bang for the buck. ... show more

My favorite thing to be annoyingly preachy about
Style: 1.7 oz
1) Sunscreen is essential. Don't get skin cancer. 2) This is the best face sunscreen out there. Don't overthink it 3) If you do want to overthink it (relatable), can tell you that this has great packaging, no scent, absorbs quickly, and feels great solo or underneath makeup. I will be hooked for life. 4) My queen of a mother sometimes uses it as night moisturizer when she travels, it is that good. ... show more

Mixed bag, I only use if NOT going in public… read why
Style: 1.7 oz
Short answer: it piles and flakes off Okay, this is an interesting one. I had a facial treatment done that has left me with very sensitive post inflammatory skin issues, including one that the dermatologist thinks might be a form of rosacea. Basically I can use cetaphil face wash and Vanicream daily facial moisturizer and nothing else, as I react to everything else. But, I need an SPF, we all really should be wearing one daily. ChatGPT recommended I try this one (thanks AI). I have been using it for about a week and so far it hasn’t caused any irritation, bumps or new flare ups. The problem is what other reviews have already mentioned, it piles and flakes right off the skin. I tried mixing it with my moisturizer and it still flaked off. Bummer. I was about to return it, but because it actually seems to calm my skin I have decided to keep it and use it as an “at home only” sun protection product. Yes, you even need SPF protection even if sitting inside your house. The light coming through windows is enough to benefit from SPF protection. So, when I wake up in the morning I put this on right away. In this way I am at least SPF protected while I make breakfast or do house chores, even if I do something outside like take out the trash or gardening. It’s also fine for just sitting around watching TV. But, if I am going out, then I shower it off and start my usual product routine without it. I can tolerate the EltaMD UV AOX Elements Tinted Mineral Face Sunscreen Lotion “a little bit”… I still get a few bumps though. However, if I am just around the house and not in public view, then I am very happy with this product and the lack of irritation and actual calming effect I get from it, along with knowing that for those hours I am UV protected. The product does have a scent! It is an almond extract scent. I am very sensitive to scents and don’t love it, but have found it tolerable and while it does linger for awhile, it eventually fades (or my brain just begins to ignore it). It hasn’t been a deal breaker. ... show more

Skeptic turned believer
Style: 1.7 oz
I put off buying this sunscreen for the longest time because it was so expensive. However, I’ve been trying to wear sunscreen every day, and everything I tried left me sticky or had a white cast. I finally bought this one and it’s 100% worth the price. It doesn’t have an awful smell, doesn’t leave me feeling sticky or shiny, and wears great under makeup. This is the only face sunscreen I’ll wear now! ... show more
