Review: Love this, even with moisturizer and foundation! - Actually works with moisturizer and foundation! First, as many have said, this is the ONLY sunscreen I have ever liked for my face. It's not oily, doesn't burn my sensitive skin, and doesn't burn my eyes. Second, some people have said that it "pills" when they use it with moisturizer and/or foundation, so I hope this helps someone. After doing AI research, I found there are reasons for that -- basically, the ingredients are not compatible / don't work well together. With research, I found brands that do work together, so you probably can, too! I'm using LRP moisturizer. It and the Elta MD both contain niacinamide, and it is even helping to calm my rosacea! I'm using MK foundation, but again, there are probably some other brands that work if you ask the research questions. Of course I let it sit a few minutes in between moisturizer, EltaMD, and foundation, pat/gently rub on each layer, and then -- no pilling/flaking! Yes, this product IS expensive, but it has totally improved my skin, and I will keep using it.
Review: Top of the line product. Worth the cost. - This is hands down one of the best face sunscreens I’ve used. It feels lightweight, goes on smoothly, and doesn’t leave my skin feeling greasy or heavy. I also really appreciate that it doesn’t leave that obvious white cast that some mineral sunscreens can. It sits really well under makeup, but I also wear it on its own. My skin feels comfortable throughout the day, and I don’t feel like I’m wearing a thick layer of sunscreen on my face. It is definitely more expensive than some drugstore options, but for me, the quality makes it worth it. This is one of those products I’m happy to spend a little more on because I actually enjoy using it every day.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is this the right sunscreen for me?**
A: This sunscreen is ideal for those with sensitive, acne- and rosacea-prone skin seeking a lightweight, non-greasy SPF that won't clog pores or irritate skin. It is clinically proven to improve texture by 40% and reduce discoloration by 38%.

**Q: Can I use this sunscreen as a makeup primer?**
A: Yes! It is great skin prep because it improves skin texture and tone. The lightweight, non-greasy formula doesn't pill, making it a great layer under makeup. Try our tinted and deep tinted options for a glowy, light coverage foundation substitute.

**Q: Will it leave a white cast?**
A: No, it comes in untinted, tinted, and deep tinted options for a sheer finish. The Deep Tint uses a patent-pending Iron Oxide blend to ensure zero white cast on deeper skin tones.

**Q: What are the key ingredients?**
A: Our advanced hybrid formula uses 9% Zinc Oxide and 7.5% Octinoxate for UV protection, 5% Niacinamide to reduce blemishes, and Vitamin E for antioxidant support.

**Q: What’s the difference between UV Clear SPF 46 and UV Clear Blemish-Prone & Oil Balancing SPF 50?**
A: Both are lightweight and non-comedogenic. However, UV Clear SPF 46 focuses on calming and protecting sensitive skin, while the SPF 50 actively corrects by reducing visible breakouts, controlling excess oil, and refining pores.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ No other product out there can beat this sunscreen!
*by G***I on September 7, 2026*

I wish I had found this product before because it would’ve saved me a lot of tears. This is a real lightweight and non comedogenic sunscreen which leaves no white residue on your face. As a person who had acne prone skin (yes, it’s now in the past), I struggled finding the right sunscreen for me. I bought many that were labeled “lightweight”, but they weren’t. Most would actually leave my face looking like a geisha because of the white residue left on the skin hahaha. This product not only stopped the reoccurring breakouts on my face, but it also minimized my pores size. I feel like I have baby skin now. I get so many compliments. I used to wear makeup every day to cover the dark marks and new pimples. I don’t wear makeup anymore unless it’s a special occasion. My skin looks hydrated and healthy. No more breakouts, no more dark spots, no more tears of desperation. I never write reviews, but this product exceeded my expectations. This is all I use now. I don’t even have to use a separate moisturizer.
