This sunscreen is comfortable enough to wear every day and layers well under makeup. It provides excellent protection without feeling greasy.
EltaMD must have quietly reformulated the UV Clear SPF 46 recently because the latest bottle I bought from my dermatologist pilled like crazy. The moment I try to smooth it over my daily serum, it balls up into tiny white flakes all over my jawline and eyebrows.
EltaMD sunscreen provides reliable protection while feeling incredibly lightweight. It layers well under makeup and never feels greasy.
I am so incredibly frustrated with the updated packaging on the UV Clear bottles. The airtight pump mechanism jams constantly, and after a few weeks, it stops dispensing product entirely even though the bottle is still half full
EltaMD sunscreen has been one of the best sunscreens I’ve ever used. It feels lightweight, doesn’t leave a white cast on my skin, and layers perfectly under makeup or other skincare products.
The UV Clear sunscreen is one of the best I’ve used. It protects well without clogging pores or leaving a white cast.
I appreciated how gentle the formula was for sensitive skin. The sunscreen felt lightweight and didn’t leave a heavy white cast. My issue is that it became shiny on my oily skin after a few hours.
Probably the only sunscreen I’ve used consistently without breaking out. Lightweight and doesn’t feel greasy even in humid weather.
Super lightweight sunscreen. Doesn’t break me out which is rare for me.
I had questions about a product and struggled to get a clear response from support. Communication felt inconsistent.
This sunscreen and looks nice on the skin. It stays on the skin the whole day, and it’s not irritating.
I used EltaMD sunscreen daily and noticed a big difference when I spent weekends outdoors. No more sunburn, and my skin stayed calm and even. The formula felt light and didn’t clog pores even over makeup it layered well. I’m happy to have found a sunscreen that actually feels good and works well.
As someone with acne-prone, sensitive skin, finding a daily SPF that didn’t irritate or clog pores felt impossible—until I tried the UV Clear. It rubs in clean, doesn’t breakdown under makeup, and keeps me protected. On deeper skin tones though I noticed a slight cast under certain lighting.
It’s protective but not completely sheer on my tone. Still, it’s gentle and effective.
Hands down the best sunscreen for acne-prone skin. It’s lightweight, absorbs fast, and doesn’t break me out. I just wish it came in a bigger bottle.
The dermal wound cleanser is superb for me where you can directly spray on the wound/spots to heal without contaminating. Very hygienic to use.
Best sunscreen I’ve ever tried. The UV Clear is lightweight, layers well under makeup, and never breaks me out. I recommend it to everyone I know.
I love the after effect of the UV clear sunscreen, moisturized skin without the sticky feel while having sun protection.
It’s now a holy grail product in my routine.
EltaMD UV Clear is the one sunscreen I’ve stuck with
EltaMD Dermal Wound Cleanser is a good buy for me, it cleans without stinging or irritating the skin and feels soothing on sensitive or healing areas. The spray application is convenient and hygienic.
