Daily SPF Made for Acne-Prone Skin

EltaMD UV Clear SPF 46 is made for sensitive, oily, and acne-prone skin. This lightweight, oil-free formula calms inflammation, protects from UVA/UVB damage, and supports skin clarity. Whether you are managing rosacea, post-procedure redness, or breakouts, this SPF delivers calm, clear protection every day, and niacinamide helps with redness and breakouts.

Laziza S

"If your skin leans oily, sensitive, or acne-prone, EltaMD UV Clear is such a perfect everyday sunscreen. It’s super light and calming, with niacinamide to help with redness, breakouts, and overall skin clarity. The tinted option gives a soft, even finish without ever feeling heavy. Our clients with reactive or acne-prone skin especially love it, and if you’re on the oilier side, you can even use it alone without a moisturizer."

Calms Redness While It Shields

Formulated with niacinamide (vitamin B3), UV Clear not only protects but actively reduces visible redness and inflammation. Zinc oxide provides broad-spectrum mineral protection, while additional antioxidants soothe and support the skin barrier, making this sunscreen ideal for reactive or stressed complexions. Vitamin E rounds out the formula, protecting against free radicals and helping skin retain moisture.

Zinc Oxide

Sits on the skin’s surface to reflect and scatter UVA and UVB rays, offering broad-spectrum sun protection without chemical absorption.

Niacinamide

Multi-tasking skincare ingredient that helps improve skin tone, texture, and barrier function.

Tocopherol

Fat-soluble antioxidant form of Vitamin E that protects skin from free radicals, reinforces the skin barrier, and improves moisture retention.

Weightless Wear and a Sheer Finish

UV Clear wears like a dream: light, silky, and fast-absorbing with no greasy residue or white cast. Available in tinted and untinted versions, it blends effortlessly into all skin tones and plays well under makeup or layered with other skincare. If your skin leans oily, you can even wear it alone without a moisturizer.

Trusted Protection for Sensitive Skin

Fragrance-free, paraben-free, and non-comedogenic, UV Clear is designed with even the most reactive skin types in mind. It is a trusted daily choice if you are dealing with acne, rosacea, or hyperpigmentation, or simply want broad-spectrum defense that will not clog pores. Apply it liberally as the last step each morning and reapply at least every two hours.

Ingredient Details

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes EltaMD® UV Clear SPF 46 different from other sunscreens?

UV Clear is specifically formulated for sensitive, acne-prone, or rosacea-prone skin. It combines high-level mineral sun protection with niacinamide to calm redness and reduce inflammation, making it one of the few sunscreens that actively improves skin clarity while protecting it.

Can I use UV Clear if I have acne?

Yes. UV Clear is non-comedogenic and oil-free, so it won’t clog pores or trigger breakouts. In fact, the addition of niacinamide helps regulate oil production and calm acne-related inflammation, making it a smart daily SPF for acne-prone skin.

Is EltaMD UV Clear water-resistant?

No, this sunscreen is not water-resistant. If you’ll be swimming, sweating, or spending extended time outdoors, switch to a water-resistant sunscreen and reapply as directed.

Will this leave a white cast?

No. UV Clear is designed to go on sheer, even though it contains zinc oxide. It absorbs quickly and disappears into the skin, making it suitable for all skin tones, especially the tinted version, which helps further reduce any visible residue.

Will this cover my acne marks and melasma?

No, this sunscreen isn’t meant to cover or mask. It’s designed to gently even out tone and give the skin a natural, healthy glow.
