As a seasoned reviewer, I've had the opportunity to test a multitude of skincare products. Today, I'll be sharing my personal experience with the EltaMD UV Clear Face Sunscreen, SPF 46 Oil Free Sunscreen with Zinc Oxide.
Having used this sunscreen for about a year, I can confidently say that it's a product that has earned its place in my daily skincare routine. Despite my initial attempts to find a cheaper alternative, nothing quite compares to the performance of this sunscreen. It leaves my skin glowing without causing breakouts, a rare feat for a sunscreen.
The product sits well under makeup, including Este Lauder Double Wear Foundation and NYX Bare With Me concealer, making it a versatile addition to my beauty regimen. As someone with acne-prone skin and eczema, I appreciate that this sunscreen doesn't cause any irritation. It has a faint, typical sunscreen smell, devoid of any artificial scent.
One of the most notable benefits I've observed is the prevention of dark spots after a pimple, a testament to the sunscreen's protective qualities. It's a product I'd definitely recommend, especially to those with sensitive skin.
The EltaMD UV Clear Face Sunscreen is not only effective but also gentle on the skin. It doesn't cause redness or burning, common issues I've experienced with other sunscreens. It's also safe to apply around the eyes, a sensitive area often neglected in sun protection.
The sunscreen's texture is non-greasy, non-sticky, and absorbs well into the skin. It's colorless, making it suitable for all skin tones. As a Florida resident, where the sun is often intense, this sunscreen has become my new holy grail.
Despite the higher price point, I believe this sunscreen is worth the investment. It's become a part of my daily routine, and I look forward to applying it each morning. It absorbs quickly, allowing me to apply foundation soon after without any issues.
The sunscreen's performance under makeup is commendable. It doesn't leave an oily or powdery feeling, instead imparting a healthy glow without being greasy. It doesn't create a dry-looking matte layer, a common issue with many sunscreens.
However, it's not all sunshine and roses. Some users have reported negative reactions, including breakouts and allergic reactions. While these instances seem to be the exception rather than the rule, it's important to note that everyone's skin is different. What works for one person may not work for another.
In conclusion, the EltaMD UV Clear Face Sunscreen, SPF 46 Oil Free Sunscreen with Zinc Oxide, is a product I'd highly recommend, especially for those with sensitive or acne-prone skin. It's a high-quality sunscreen that offers excellent sun protection while enhancing the overall appearance of the skin. However, as with any skincare product, it's essential to patch test before full application to ensure it suits your skin.

Love the texture, sinks right in. Not oily at all. Great under makeup. Most importantly… it works! I always put it on my face and neck and use what’s left on the back of my neck… I put this on first thing in the morning and worked outside all day in the yard. The line where you see the burn is where I rubbed the extra from my face!! Will use everyday as my regular facial SPF!
