What is EltaMD UV Clear Broad-Spectrum SPF 46?
EltaMD UV Clear Broad-Spectrum SPF 46 is the brand's best-known face sunscreen: a lightweight, oil-free lotion made for sensitive and blemish-prone skin. It pairs 9% micronized zinc oxide with 7.5% octinoxate for broad-spectrum protection and adds 5% niacinamide to help reduce the appearance of blemishes and discoloration, with hyaluronic acid and vitamin E for hydration and antioxidant support. It is fragrance-free, paraben-free and non-comedogenic, and it goes on untinted with no white cast. Apply liberally to face and neck 15 minutes before sun exposure. Available at SkinCrew in 1.7 oz ($46) and 3.7 oz ($78).
Sourced direct from EltaMD: guaranteed authentic, batch-fresh, fast US shipping.
The problem
Skin that breaks out or flushes easily is the skin most likely to skip sunscreen. Rich formulas feel greasy and seem to make congestion worse, fragranced ones sting, and many mineral options leave a white film. The result is unprotected skin, and sun exposure deepens the look of the marks and uneven tone people are trying to fade.
The daily SPF that blemish-prone skin will actually wear.
UV Clear is oil-free, light and non-comedogenic, so it will not clog pores, and it layers cleanly under makeup. Its 5% niacinamide helps calm the look of the skin and visibly improve tone and discoloration, while hyaluronic acid keeps the finish comfortable rather than dry. EltaMD notes that the untinted version works best on fair, light, medium light and medium skin tones.

EltaMD UV Clear SPF 46: the oil-free sunscreen for sensitive, blemish-prone skin
EltaMD UV Clear Broad-Spectrum SPF 46 is formulated with 5% niacinamide (vitamin B3) to help reduce the appearance of blemishes and discoloration. Protection comes from 9% micronized zinc oxide and 7.5% octinoxate, covering both UVA and UVB rays, in a lightweight, oil-free lotion that helps even skin tone for a smoother appearance.
The formula also contains sodium hyaluronate, a form of hyaluronic acid, to attract and retain moisture, and vitamin E for antioxidant support. It is fragrance-free, paraben-free, dye-free, hypoallergenic and non-comedogenic, and it can be worn alone or layered under makeup. SkinCrew carries the 1.7 oz pump and the larger 3.7 oz size. Available at SkinCrew, an Authorized EltaMD US Retailer, with fast US shipping.

Why UV Clear SPF 46 Stands Out
- 5% niacinamide. A meaningful level of vitamin B3, included to visibly improve skin tone and discoloration and to calm the look of blemish-prone skin.
- Oil-free and non-comedogenic. A lightweight texture that will not clog pores and sits well under makeup, which is why it became a staple for oily and combination skin.
- No white cast. Transparent, micronized zinc oxide in an untinted lotion that blends in on fair to medium skin tones.
- Two sizes. A 1.7 oz airless pump for the face and a 3.7 oz size for people who go through it quickly or share it.
