Review: The Best Sunscreen I’ve Ever Used — Lightweight, Clear, and Truly Protective! - The EltaMD UV Clear Face Sunscreen SPF 46 absolutely lives up to the hype. It’s lightweight, oil-free, and goes on completely clear, leaving no white cast at all — even on medium or darker skin tones. The texture is silky and smooth, absorbing quickly without feeling greasy or sticky. I have sensitive, acne-prone skin, and this sunscreen has never caused irritation or breakouts. The zinc oxide provides strong sun protection, and it also contains ingredients like niacinamide, which help calm redness and even out skin tone over time. It layers beautifully under makeup and feels like a high-end moisturizer rather than a heavy sunscreen. If you’re looking for a dermatologist-recommended SPF that you’ll actually enjoy wearing every day, this is the one. A must-have for clear, healthy, and protected skin!
Review: Lightweight, non-greasy sunscreen that works well for sensitive and acne-prone skin - I’ve been using EltaMD UV Clear SPF 46 daily and understand why it’s so widely recommended. The texture is lightweight and absorbs quickly without leaving a white cast or greasy residue. I have sensitive, acne-prone skin and found that this sunscreen did not clog pores or cause irritation. It contains niacinamide, which may help calm redness, and it feels comfortable even with repeated reapplication. The formula is oil-free and works well for normal to oily skin types. Overall, this is a reliable daily facial sunscreen for anyone looking for effective protection without heaviness or breakouts.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does this make your face white-ish when you put it on like some sunblocks, or is it actually clear after application?**
A: IT DOES TURN YOUR FACE WHITE. The people who are saying it doesn't are clearly not applying enough sunscreen. You need at least 1/4 TSP to cover your entire face. It's not white if you don't apply enough, and if you don't apply enough then the SPF turns into the square root of what it originally is. So SPF 25 becomes SPF 5 if you don't apply enough.

**Q: Is it better to buy  it on Amazon or a doctor office?**
A: I have not used the product that I ordered from Amazon yet but I called EltaMD and they told me that Amazon is an authorized seller of their sunscreens but to make sure that the product is sold and shipped from Amazon and not a third party seller. The prices are the same as at a doctors office but with prime it was just easier for me to get. The EltaMD website has a list of online retailers and doctors that are authorized to sell their products.

**Q: ingredients**
A: My package purchased at the dermatologist’s, has a slightly different name for the 4th listed ingredient (Nov 2017):
Cyclopentasiloxane

**Q: what´s the difference between this and the Eltamd UV Daily SPF 40, 48-Gram 1.7 Ounce? price difference is  $10.**
A: The SPF 46 has niacinimides (B3) which is a great anti aging ingredient. Although this is marketed towards those with sensitive skin, B3 can be irritating if used daily for some people. Unfortunately I am one on those people. It is a great ingredient, it has a lot of science behind it and appearantly it works well for some with sensitive skin, but not me. If you don't have sensitive skin, go for it. It's a great product. If you have sensitivity to niacinimides this may not be for you, choose the SPF 40 that doesn't have it. Another difference is the SPF 46 clear is oil free and water resistant, SPF 40 daily is not oil free or water resistant.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ No trace of white
*by W***I on January 20, 2026*

This is an awesome sunscreen; it applies smoothly and does not leave any visible residue. It absorbs fast and does not leave my face with that greasy look. The only drawback is that it is expensive relative to other brands but being medical grade makes it worth the cost.
