Lilyvera expert score · based on hands-on testing and specialist review

EltaMD's UV Clear is one of the best-known mineral facial sunscreens in skincare; a clear, zinc-oxide-and-niacinamide sunscreen built specifically for sensitive, oily, acne-prone skin. Its light, no-white-cast formula has made it the gold standard for wearing under makeup.

A clear, gentle broad-spectrum SPF 46 sunscreen that shields skin from daylight, with a lightweight formula built for sensitive, acne-prone skin. It settles in without a white cast and keeps skin calm and even.

Benefits

Broad-spectrum protection — light, calming formula — no white cast — makeup-friendly

Our expert verdict

In our testing, this sunscreen earns its reputation — for acne-prone, sensitive skin, the calming niacinamide and near-invisible texture are hard to beat, and it sits flawlessly under makeup. Our one caution: the untinted version can leave a slight gray cast on deeper skin tones, who are better served by the tinted version.

How to use

In the morning, as the last skincare step, spread a sufficient amount over face and neck and let it absorb before heading out. Reapply every two hours during the day.

Key ingredients

Zinc oxide, niacinamide, hyaluronic acid, vitamin E (tocopherol)

Suitable for

Suited to all skin types, especially sensitive, oily, and acne-prone skin
