EltaMD UV Clear Deep Tinted Face Sunscreen SPF 46 — 1.7 oz | Mineral zinc oxide, sheer coverage for deeper skin

EltaMD UV Clear Deep Tinted Face Sunscreen SPF 46 is a lightweight, oil-free facial sunscreen formulated with micronized zinc oxide and niacinamide to protect and even the appearance of deeper skin tones without a white cast.

Designed and tested specifically for deeper complexions, this 1.7 oz tinted sunscreen uses Invisible Blend Technology so it wears sheer while delivering broad-spectrum defense against UVA and UVB rays. The formula is non-comedogenic and fragrance-free, making it suitable for daily use on normal, oily, acne-prone, and sensitive skin types. A dermatologist-recommended option, it pairs mineral protection with skin-calming ingredients to reduce the look of discoloration and help maintain a smoother, more even complexion.

How does this sunscreen protect darker skin without leaving a white cast?

The Deep Tinted UV Clear contains micronized zinc oxide that provides physical (mineral) protection while the tint and Invisible Blend Technology minimize visible residue on deeper tones. The pigments disperse evenly and the lightweight lotion absorbs quickly, so coverage looks natural rather than chalky.

• Micronized zinc oxide for broad-spectrum mineral protection
• Invisible Blend Technology to avoid white cast on deeper skin
• Sheer, lightweight lotion that absorbs without heavy film
• Non-comedogenic formula to reduce pore-clogging risk

Will this work for acne-prone or sensitive skin?

Yes — the formula is oil-free and non-comedogenic, reducing the chance of breakouts while providing a calming effect for sensitivity-prone skin. It has been clinically evaluated on people with acne and rosacea-prone skin, and contains niacinamide to help visibly improve tone and reduce the appearance of blemishes and discoloration.

• Oil-free, non-comedogenic base suitable for acne-prone complexions
• Niacinamide (vitamin B3) supports even-looking skin tone
• Fragrance-free and paraben-free for reduced irritation risk
• Dermatologist-tested formula for sensitive skin considerations

How should I use this tinted sunscreen in my daily routine?

Apply liberally as the final step of your morning skincare routine, after serums and moisturizers. Reapply every two hours when outdoors, and more often if swimming or sweating, to maintain SPF protection. The pump bottle is travel-friendly and easy to use for on-the-go reapplication.

• Use daily as the last skincare step before makeup
• Reapply every two hours during sun exposure or after water contact
• TSA-friendly 1.7 oz pump fits in carry-on or handbag for touch-ups
• Blend gently with fingertips or a brush for smooth coverage

What visible skin benefits can I expect with regular use?

Regular application helps protect against UV-induced damage while supporting the appearance of more even tone and reduced discoloration. Niacinamide helps brighten and calm skin, and the tinted finish can immediately reduce the look of hyperpigmentation or unevenness as part of your daily coverage.

• Broad-spectrum SPF 46 shields from UVA (aging) and UVB (burning)
• Niacinamide helps improve visible discoloration and blemishes
• Tint provides instant visual evening of skin tone
• Lightweight finish suitable under makeup or worn alone
