EltaMD UV Clear Untinted Facial Sunscreen SPF 46 — 0.5 oz Travel Pump, Oil-Free & Niacinamide

EltaMD UV Clear Untinted is a lightweight, oil-free facial sunscreen with transparent zinc oxide that delivers broad-spectrum SPF 46 protection without leaving a white cast.

This travel-size 0.5 oz pump offers daily sun protection formulated for sensitive, acne-prone, and hyperpigmented skin. It blends to a sheer finish, contains skin-friendly actives like niacinamide and hyaluronic acid, and is free of fragrances, parabens and oils—so it can be worn alone or layered under makeup for everyday use.

How does this sunscreen protect sensitive and acne-prone skin?

UV Clear uses transparent zinc oxide to block UVA and UVB rays while avoiding heavy oils or pore-clogging ingredients. The formula is noncomedogenic and specifically designed to minimize irritation for reactive skin types.

• Physical sunblock (transparent zinc oxide) for broad-spectrum coverage
• Oil-free base reduces shine and pore congestion
• Fragrance- and paraben-free to lower irritation risk

Will this help even out discoloration and redness?

The sunscreen includes niacinamide and an antioxidant to help support a more even-looking complexion over time. Clinical testing showed measurable improvement in discoloration for melanated skin with regular use alongside sun protection.

• Niacinamide helps reduce the appearance of uneven tone
• Antioxidant support to protect against environmental stressors
• Hyaluronic acid adds lightweight hydration to reduce dryness-related redness

Can I wear this under makeup and during travel?

Yes—the silky, untinted finish blends seamlessly with foundation or can be used alone for a natural look. The compact 0.5 oz pump is TSA-friendly and fits comfortably in purses, pockets, or carry-on luggage for on-the-go protection.

• Sheer, non-whitening finish suitable under cosmetics
• Small pump bottle for airport carry-on and daily touch-ups
• Lightweight texture reduces pilling when layered under products

Is this safe for daily use and different skin types?

Formulated for a broad range of complexions, UV Clear is dermatologist-recommended and non-sensitizing for many users. Its combination of gentle actives and physical sunscreen filters makes it appropriate for normal, oily, rosacea-prone, and acne-prone skin.

• Noncomedogenic and oil-free for acne-prone skin
• Fragrance-free and paraben-free to minimize sensitivity
• Available in tinted and untinted options to suit varied skin tones

Who is this for? If you want a travel-friendly, non-greasy facial sunscreen that offers strong broad-spectrum protection while supporting even tone and calming sensitive or acne-prone skin, EltaMD UV Clear Untinted SPF 46 is formulated with those goals in mind. It’s especially useful for people who need an everyday face sunscreen that layers well under makeup, fits a busy travel routine, and avoids ingredients that commonly irritate reactive complexions.
