UV Clear Broad-Spectrum SPF 46
With sun protection and acne-fighting ingredients, Elta MD UV Clear is a holy-grail for acne sufferers.
Struggling with acne, rosacea, or overall sensitive skin? Protect your skin from the sun while soothing and smoothing your skin with oil-free EltaMD UV Clear! It’s formulated with niacinamide to calm irritation and rosacea plus lactic acid and hyaluronic acid to fight breakouts and minimize discoloration, leaving your skin looking healthy, smooth, and clear. Its texture is lightweight enough for acne-prone skin, yet silky enough to hydrate and soothe irritation. Recommended by the Skin Cancer Foundation as an effective broad-spectrum sunscreen, you can opt for the tinted formula for light coverage or untinted (clear) to wear under a full face of makeup.
When it comes to dealing with sensitive and acne-prone skin, a physical sunscreen versus a chemical sunscreen tends to fare better for avoiding irritation and further breakouts. Those with easily irritable skin may be wary of using sunscreen, but UV Clear makes it easy for acne-prone skin to get the coverage it needs while also working to clear and heal skin. This product is also a fan favorite among men, as it’s great at calming irritation from shaving. Elta MD UV Clear is a true win all around.
