Regardless of the temperature, it’s always important to slather sunscreen on ourselves and our loved ones. Yet, greasy, heavy, smelly white face paint-looking sun lotions can make you dread application so much that you may write off the importance of wearing them. So if you’re looking for sun protection that’s lightweight and clear (aka, something you’ll actually wear regularly), allow us to introduce you to the clear EltaMD broad-spectrum face sunscreen with SPF 46.
Many reviewers call the lotion “expensive but worth it,” and the first face sunscreen they’ve “ever actually liked,” —including several reviewers undergoing treatment for skin cancer or risk of skin cancer.
“My dermatologist said I HAD to get this one after having a small skin cancer and having my nose reconstructed,” Karen Anderson wrote, “I definitely don’t want to go through that again.”
Beloved by dermatologists and thousands of 5-star reviewers, the EltaMD sunscreen provides strong UVA and UVB protection in a lightweight, fragrance-free and oil-free formula. Those with sensitive skin or rosacea may benefit from its calming niacinamide and antibacterial zinc, both skincare favorites for soothing inflamed skin.
This cult-favorite SPF also moisturizes with popular hyaluronic acid while helping even out hyperpigmentation, reducing shine and lightly exfoliating pores thanks to the inclusion of lactic acid. Many reviewers with acne-prone skin and cystic acne call it “the only sunscreen that doesn’t make me break out,” celebrating the formula for not clogging pores, drying skin or feeling greasy.
