Review: Dermatologist recommended, been on subscribe and save for years - My dermatologist recommended this and it's been on my subscribe and save ever since. Another product I just never think about switching because nothing else compares. The transparent zinc oxide means no white cast which is a big deal. It goes on smooth and disappears into the skin. The hyaluronic acid actually makes this work as a light moisturizer too so some mornings I skip a separate moisturizer and just go straight to this. Doesn't feel heavy or greasy. No pilling under makeup or other products. Just sits on the skin and does its job. Works great on my skin with zero irritation. If your derma hasn't already told you to use this, they probably will. One of those products that's popular in dermatology offices for a reason. Get it on subscribe and save and stop thinking about sunscreen.
Review: My New Favorite Everyday Face Sunscreen - I’ve tried quite a few daily sunscreens, and this one stands out for how refined it feels on the skin. The texture is elegant, moisturizing, and absorbs beautifully without the heavy, greasy finish that so many SPF products leave behind. It gives my skin a smooth, comfortable feel while still delivering dependable daily protection with zinc oxide and SPF 40. What I appreciate most is how seamlessly it fits into a morning routine. It layers well, feels gentle, and leaves my skin looking polished rather than coated. For dry skin, it strikes a really nice balance between hydration and sun protection, which makes it feel more like a true skincare step than just sunscreen. Overall, this is a very elevated everyday SPF — simple, effective, and well formulated. If you want a face sunscreen that feels sophisticated and consistently pleasant to wear, this is an excellent choice.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does anyone know how this differs from the UV clear, SPF 46 version? Thank you.**
A: The uv clear spf 46 contains B3 and lactic acid to fade hyperpigmentation, acne scars, and helps to keep pores unclogged. It's for more acne prone/oily skin. The spf 40 is more for dryer and sensitive skin types. Lactic acid can be drying/irritating for some ppl. I personally have acne prone and dry skin. In the summer months I use the uv clear spf 46. In the dryer months I use the spf 40. Neither of them break me out though.

**Q: Is the suscreen zinc oxide**
A: It is not *only* zinc oxide--it also contains octinoxate, a chemical sunscreen that's banned in Hawaii for being damaging to coral reefs. Do not use this if you have melasma, since the chemical portion will absorb UV rays and convert it to heat, which will aggravate the melasma.

**Q: Is this one similar to spf30+ for dry & post-procedure skin, which i use for 3 years. I want a higher spf with lightweight but not gostly white face.**
A: Not sure if it's for dry skin, but can tell you it doesn't give your skin that white color. I usually put it on and give the lotion a minute or two to dry and rub it in again. This sunscreen doesn't irritate or make my eyes burn which keeps me coming back. It's like I don't have sunscreen on.

**Q: Is this one tinted? I'm looking for the one that's tinted.**
A: No it's not tinted.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Lightweight Daily Sunscreen
*by B***N on June 10, 2026*

Great daily sunscreen! It’s super lightweight, non greasy and feels more like you’re putting on moisturizer. Since I’ve started using it daily I’ve noticed a more even skin tone on my face. There is a pearl finish version I also love for that glowy look.
