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

EltaMD's UV Clear Tinted is the brand's flagship and one of the best-known facial sunscreens in skincare. It pairs zinc oxide with niacinamide, lactic acid, and a soft tint to build a light, oil-free formula for redness-prone, acne-prone skin — a benchmark many people measure their routine against.

EltaMD's UV Clear Tinted is one of the most popular facial sunscreens, pairing broad-spectrum protection with a soft tint and a calming formula for skin prone to redness and oiliness. Its light, oil-free texture leaves skin even, calm, and clear-looking.

Benefits

Evening tint — suited to redness-prone skin — light, oil-free texture — broad-spectrum protection

Our expert verdict

In our experience, this product's outsized reputation is earned; it sits light and calm on oily, acne-prone skin, the niacinamide helps even out tone, and the tint disguises any mineral cast. The one thing to know: its fairly fluid texture can feel under-moisturizing on very dry skin.

How to use

Apply in the morning over clean, hydrated skin and blend until the tint settles evenly. Can be worn under makeup or alone; reapply every two hours in the sun.

Key ingredients

Zinc oxide, niacinamide, hyaluronic acid, lactic acid, iron oxides

Suitable for

Suited to oily, sensitive, acne- and redness-prone skin
