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. ## Features - TINTED SUNSCREEN FOR FACE: This tinted face sunscreen with transparent Zinc Oxide provides broad spectrum SPF 46 protection and helps protect normal and sensitive skin types from UVA and UVB damage without leaving behind residue - FOR NORMAL, ACNE-PRONE, AND SENSITIVE SKIN TYPES: UV Clear uses an oil-free, non-comedogenic formula that’s designed for daily use on normal, oily, rosacea, and acne-prone skin so you get effective daily sun protection without feeling greasy - SUITABLE FOR HYPERPIGMENTED SKIN: Contains Niacinamide which helps to visibly improve skin tone and reduce the appearance of discoloration and blemishes on the skin - CONVENIENT TRAVEL SIZE SUNSCREEN: This tinted sunscreen is TSA approved and comes in a convenient travel-size pump bottle that easily fits in handbags, beach bags, and carry on luggage so you can protect your skin at home, work, or on the go - SUITABLE FOR ALL SKIN TYPES: UV Clear comes in both tinted and untinted versions that support a wide range of skin types and complexions; it’s a dermatologist recommended sunscreen that’s fragrance-free, paraben-free, sensitivity-free, and non-comedogenic ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00ZPWR0N8 | | ASIN | B00ZPWR0N8 | | Active Ingredients | Octinoxate, Zinc Oxide, lactic_acid | | Additional Features | dermatology tinted moisturizer spf 46, sunscreen tinted, bloqueador solar facial con color, protector solar para la cara, protector solar con color, tinted moisturizer, dermatology tinted moisturizer, md sunscreen, protector solar, tinted spf, dermatology, sun skin care, sun care, protetor solar facial, bloqueador solar facial, zinc oxide sunscreen | | Age Range Description | Adult | | Best Sellers Rank | #42 in Beauty & Personal Care ( See Top 100 in Beauty & Personal Care ) #1 in Facial Sunscreens | | Brand Name | EltaMD | | Color | 03 - Tinted (1.7 oz) | | Country as Labeled | United States | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 4.5 out of 5 stars (70,853) | | Item Dimensions | 1.5 x 1.5 x 4.5 inches | | Item Form | Cream | | Item Highlight | Calms and Protects Acne-Prone Skin and Rosacea, Oil-Free, Sheer Tint, No White Cast, Dermatologist Recommended | | Item Volume | 50 ml | | Item Weight | 1.58 ounces | | Item model number | 02520 | | Manufacturer | EltaMD | | Manufacturer | EltaMD | | Manufacturer Part Number | 2520/EMD | | Material Type Free | Fragrance Free, Oil Free, Paraben Free | | Model Number | 02520 | | Number of Items | 1 | | Product Benefits | Helps protect normal, sensitive and acne prone skin from UVA/UVB rays without leaving behind residue. | | Product Dimensions | 1.5 x 1.5 x 4.5 inches; 1.58 ounces | | Recommended Uses For Product | dermatology | | Scent Name | Unscented | | Skin Tone | Medium | | Skin Type | Normal, Sensitive | | Sun Protection Factor | 46 sun_protection_factor | | Target Use Body Part | Face | | UPC | 390205025206 | | UPC | 390205025206 | | Unit Count | 1.7 Ounce | | Water Resistance Level | Not Water Resistant | ## Product Details - **Item Weight:** 1.58 ounces - **Number of Items:** 1 - **Scent:** Unscented - **Sun Protection Factor:** 46 sun_protection_factor ## Images ![UV Clear Face Sunscreen with Zinc Oxide, Oil-Free, SPF 46 and SPF 50 - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/716i2HqV9FL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Color** options. ## 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. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Love this, even with moisturizer and foundation! *by R***R on August 18, 2026* Actually works with moisturizer and foundation!

Worth the cost. *by G***K on August 22, 2026* 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.

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. ## Frequently Bought Together - EltaMD UV Clear Tinted Face Sunscreen, SPF 46 Oil- Free Tinted Sunscreen with Zinc Oxide, Dermatologist Recommended Sunscreen, 1.7 oz Pump - EltaMD AM Restore Face Moisturizer for Women and Men, Light Moisturizer Face Cream, Made with Niacinamide and Hyaluronic Acid, 1.7 oz Pump - EltaMD PM Restore Face Moisturizer, Night Moisturizer for Face, Restores Skin Elasticity and Vitality Overnight, Safe For All Skin Types --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/16245557-uv-clear-face-sunscreen-with-zinc-oxide-oil-free-spf](https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/16245557-uv-clear-face-sunscreen-with-zinc-oxide-oil-free-spf) --- *Product available on Desertcart South Africa* *Store origin: ZA* *Last updated: 2026-09-27*
