**Due to supply chain challenges, and to avoid any potential out-of-stock this product may have a frosted clear overcap without the silver band as a temporary option.

EltaMD intentionally overfills items with airless pumps in anticipation that a small amount may leak in transit, especially in hot weather and/or during air travel. They do this in order to make sure that the entire amount of product is in the jar, even if a small amount leaks. For this reason, these items actually contain slightly more product than advertised before they are shipped to ensure the customer still receives an item with the appropriate amount of product.

This product is packaged with an airless pump dispenser, which uses a vacuum system to dispense the product. Please see this product's directions for further information on airless pumps.

The Skin Cancer Foundation recommends this product as an effective aid in the prevention of sun-induced damage to the skin, including sunburn and possibly premature aging. When used regularly in the prescribed manner, this product may also help reduce the potential risk of skin cancer due to overexposure to sunlight.

Ingredients

Featured Ingredients

Niacinamide

A water-soluble form of vitamin B3 that reduces the appearance of wrinkles.

Lactic Acid

An alpha hydroxy acid, either synthetic or extracted from milk, that exfoliates surface skin cells.

Sodium Hyaluronate

The salt form of hyaluronic acid, which boosts skin's moisture content, prevents moisture loss and reduces inflammation.

Zinc Oxide

A physical sunscreen agent that protects skin from UVA and UVB exposure by deflecting the sun's rays.

Directions

Apply liberally to face, neck and back of hands 15 minutes before sun exposure. Use a water-resistant sunscreen if swimming or sweating. Reapply at least every 2 hours.

Sun Protection Measures:

Spending time in the sun increases your risk of skin cancer and early skin aging. To decrease this risk, regularly use a sunscreen with a broad-spectrum SPF of 15 or higher and other sun protection measures including:

  • limit time in the sun, especially from 10AM - 2PM
  • wear long-sleeve shirts, pants, hats, and sunglasses
  • children under 6 months: Ask a physician

Airless Pump Information: When using your airless pump for the first time, you will need to prime the container by pumping out excess air. Hold a finger over the area where the product comes out and slowly pump the product about 10-15 times. This will help push the extra air out and "jumpstart" the pump. You may need to do this off and on when using this product. If you are still experiencing trouble, try tapping the bottom of the product or pumping it upside down.

Please note that since this is an airless pump, you will not find a straw that dips down into the product. This is not a defect.

Answered Questions (7)

Can you tell me if this product is safe for pregnant women?

Before you begin using a new skin care product, you should always check with your physician to make sure the product is safe to use during pregnancy. EltaMD UV Clear SPF 46 Very Light Broad-Spectrum Sunscreen is safe to use if you are pregnant or nursing.

Is the tint color in this product the same shade as the tint in the Daily Spf by the same brand? Thank you

The universal tints are nearly identical for Elta MD UV Clear and EltaMD UV Daily, but the two formulas do apply quite a bit differently since UV Clear is a lighter lotion designed for oily, acne-prone skin, while UV Daily is a thicker one intended to moisturize dry skin types. When massaged in, the two sunscreens provide the same sheer finish.

Is this product water resistant?

EltaMD UV Clear Broad-Spectrum SPF 46 Sunscreen - Tinted is not water resistant.

Is this safe to apply on the eye area?

EltaMD UV Clear Broad-Spectrum SPF 46 Sunscreen - Tinted is safe to use around the eye area. Do not apply the product directly to eyes or on eyelids.

Is this considered to be a mineral sunscreen or chemical?

Because UV Clear uses zinc oxide (a physical active) and octinoxate (a chemical active), it is a hybrid chemical and physical sunscreen.

Is the sunscreen recommend by the Skin Cancer foundation? Does it have the seal?

Every EltaMD sunscreen is recommended by the Skin Cancer Foundation and has earned their Seal of Recommendation.

Is EltaMD UV Clear a moisturizer?

EltaMD UV Clear is not a moisturizer, but it does use hyaluronic acid to help skin hold on to moisture.

Excellent sunscreen. I've been using it for a while now. It's gentle and doesn't feel greasy on the skin. It's tinted, but doesn't offer great coverage. I'll buy the next one without the tint.

eltaMD skincare sunscreen

I am very impressed with delta MD skincare. It feels more like foundation instead of like sunscreen. I have used it under foundation and on top of foundation. It feels very light and silky. Very pleased with the results.

My GO TO moisturizer with sunscreen!

I have been using this EltaMD sunscreen/ moisturizer for over five years. It moisturizes without being too heavy for summer and works great in the colder weather, too. It has no unpleasant odor and your skin is protected all day! Never do I burn. I have been a loyal user of the sunscreen moisturizer and use all summer. It is part of my daily routine.

Best sunscreen for rosacea

I got a sample of this sunscreen and loved it. I have rosacea and large pores, I hated wearing sunscreen as it irritated my eyes and clogged my pores. This worked, did the trick and offered a little tint. Can't wait for my order to arrive.

Try this sunscreen!

EltaMD UV Clear Broad Spectrum SPF 46 Facial Sunscreen is the very best sunscreen, I know because I've tried them all! It provides effective skin protection against the sun--without the annoyances (no scent, no white cast, doesn't run, isn't drying, isn't greasy, doesn't clog pores).

Best Facial Sunscreen

This is the only facial sunscreen I ever use. I have very sensitive skin plus rosacea and EltaMD doesn't clog my pores or aggravate my skin. Have tried many over the years and always come back to this one.

Great sunscreen AND moisturizer all in one!

I use Elta MD UV Clear SPF 46 at the recommendation of my dermatologist. It goes on smoothly, isn't greasy, and does a great job doubling as a moisturizer as well. Bonus!! A little goes a long way, too! Keeps my sensitive skin clear and unblemished.

Love the clear SPF

I use Elta ED tinted. I bought the clear for my husband to try. Regular SPF from the store makes his face white. This clear Elta is fantastic. It stays clear on his face even when he doesn’t shave everyday and and has beard stubbies. Will always buy this product.

Not for dry skin

This sunscreen was not as moisturizing as I had hoped. I will use it on my neck and chest, but not on my face.
