What reviewers say

Distilled from the video reviewers — the score, what they praise, where they push back.?

UV Clear Broad-Spectrum SPF 46
3.4/5
Reviewers praise
  • Contains niacinamide and lactic acid that help calm redness and brighten hyperpigmentation
  • Lightweight formula with a matte to demi-matte finish that works well under makeup
  • Does not sting eyes or burn sensitive skin after procedures
Reviewers push back
  • Leaves noticeable white or gray cast on deeper skin tones
  • Can pill or peel when layered over certain serums and moisturizers
  • Contains octinoxate chemical filter despite being marketed as gentle and mineral-focused
A hybrid sunscreen with zinc oxide and octinoxate that reviewers agree works well for acne-prone and rosacea skin but leaves a white cast on deeper skin tones and may pill with certain products.
— best for: Those with acne-prone, rosacea, or post-procedure skin who have light to medium skin tones and work indoors or need daily gentle protection.

As someone who lives in Texas, it’s essential for me to use sunscreen all year round! I have oily skin on my face but need hydration for my neck. I can’t use sunscreens with a heavy texture. This ultralight mineral sunscreen (zinc oxide - 100% mineral sunscreen) fits my skin type PERFECTLY!!! Look at the before-and-after photo - ZERO WHITE CAST!!! It absorbs very quickly and makes my skin feel sof Kateyavtushenk · sephora.com

EltaMD UV Clear SPF 46 is hands-down one of the best sunscreens I’ve ever used. It’s lightweight, non-greasy, and absorbs quickly without leaving a white cast—perfect for daily wear, even under makeup. I love that it’s formulated with niacinamide, which helps calm redness and improve skin tone over time. What really makes this sunscreen stand out is how gentle it is.
