EltaMD UV Clear Face Sunscreen SPF 46, Oil Free Sunscreen with Zinc Oxide, Dermatologist Recommended Sunscreen

I have been using the sunscreen for 2weeks now,and it is easily become a staple in my skincare routine. what sets this sunscreen apart is how lightweight and gentle it feels on the skin. I have sensitive, acne-prone skin, and this formula doesn't clog my pores or cause breakouts -if anything, it is actually helped calm redness thanks to the niacinamide.It goes on smoothy, absorbs quickly, and leaves no white cast, which is a huge plus, especially for daily wear under makeup. I also love that it provides broad-spectrum protection and includes ingredients that support overall skin health. Whether I am spending a day outside or just running errands, I feel confident knowing my skin is protected.Overall, this sunscreen is a holy grail product for me. It is effective, dermatologist recommended and worth every penny!

I’ve been on a never-ending quest to find a sunscreen that doesn’t break me out—even ones marketed for acne-prone skin have let me down. After so many failed attempts, I was ready to give up… until I tried this one. To my surprise, it didn’t cause a single breakout!But the real test came during a beach vacation. As someone who burns easily (thanks to my fair, pale skin), I slathered SPF 100 all over my body and used this sunscreen on my face. Despite reapplying religiously, my neck, shoulders, and back still turned red—yet my face stayed completely burn-free! Normally, even with a hat, my face ends up fried, but this time, I didn’t even bother with one.Not only did this sunscreen keep my skin protected, but it also didn’t clog my pores—a miracle in my book. If you’ve struggled with sunscreen-induced breakouts or need serious sun protection, I can’t recommend this enough. It’s been a total game-changer for me!

EltaMD UV Clear has become my go-to daily sunscreen. I have combination skin that’s prone to breakouts, and this is one of the few sunscreens that doesn’t feel heavy or clog my pores. It goes on super smooth and absorbs quickly with no white cast, which is a huge plus — especially under makeup.It’s oil-free and fragrance-free, which makes it ideal for sensitive or acne-prone skin. I also appreciate the added niacinamide for calming redness and helping with texture. Even on hot, humid days, it doesn’t make my face feel greasy or look shiny, and it hasn’t caused any irritation.Yes, it’s a little pricier than drugstore brands, but the quality and comfort on the skin are worth it. If you’re looking for a lightweight, reliable sunscreen that actually feels good to wear daily, this one’s a winner.

Elta MD was recommended by my dermatologist several years ago. The original product was tinted and left color on the collars of my blouses. I was excited to recently discover this “Clear” or untinted version with the same 46 SPF. It arrived yesterday—thank you, Amazon, for fast delivery—and I’m wearing it now. It truly slides on easily and does not make me look ghostly as other high SPF products have done. And if it leaves residue now, it won’t be showing on my white collared blouses.

Short answer: it piles and flakes offOkay, 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.
