EltaMD UV Clear Facial Sunscreen SPF 46 — 3.7 oz, Oil-Free & Non-Comedogenic Lightweight Lotion

EltaMD UV Clear Face Sunscreen SPF 46 is a lightweight, oil-free facial sunscreen with transparent zinc oxide that protects sensitive and acne-prone skin without leaving a white cast.

Formulated for daily wear, this EltaMD face sunscreen combines broad-spectrum SPF 46 coverage with a non-comedogenic base and skin-soothing ingredients. The unscented, paraben-free lotion absorbs quickly, layers easily under makeup, and includes niacinamide to help even skin tone. Packaged in a 3.7 oz pump, it’s sized for frequent application at home or on the go and is recommended by dermatologists for those managing rosacea, acne-prone skin, or discoloration concerns.

How does this sunscreen protect without feeling greasy?

The formula uses a transparent zinc oxide filter that reflects and scatters UVA and UVB rays while maintaining a lightweight texture. Being oil-free and non-comedogenic, it won’t clog pores or add shine, so it’s comfortable for daily use and under makeup.

• Broad-spectrum SPF 46 blocks UVA/UVB exposure
• Transparent zinc oxide avoids white residue
• Oil-free, fast-absorbing lotion minimizes shine
• Non-comedogenic for acne-prone skin

Will this help skin prone to acne, rosacea, or discoloration?

Yes — the product is developed for sensitive and acne-prone skin types and includes niacinamide, an ingredient known to support skin tone and reduce the look of discoloration. It’s fragrance-free and formulated to minimize irritation, making it a sensible option for those with reactive skin.

• Niacinamide helps even skin tone and calm redness
• Fragrance- and paraben-free to reduce irritation risk
• Suitable for oily, normal, and sensitive complexions
• Dermatologist-recommended for reactive skin types

How should I use EltaMD UV Clear SPF 46 in my routine?

Apply generously to the face as the final step in your morning skincare routine and reapply every two hours when exposed to sun. It layers well beneath makeup or can be worn alone for a natural finish that won’t feel heavy.

• Use daily, even on cloudy days, as final skincare step
• Reapply every two hours during sun exposure
• Works smoothly under cosmetics or alone
• 3.7 oz pump offers multiple uses for consistent protection

Does the product leave a white cast or come in shades?

This untinted version is formulated with transparent zinc oxide to minimize white cast on most skin tones. EltaMD also offers tinted alternatives if you prefer sheer coverage that helps blend with your complexion.

• Transparent zinc oxide reduces visible residue
• Untinted for a natural finish; tinted options available separately
• Designed for minimal visual trace on application
• Works equally well under makeup for a seamless look
