**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.

Really good sunscreen

This has become my go to sunscreen. It goes on very smoothly and absorbs quickly. I especially like that it doesn't feel sticky or greasy which makes it easier to apply throughout the day. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because it still seems to leave a faint whiteish cast to my skin. But I know zinc is an important ingredient for sun protection and this is still far superior to a lot of other sunscreens that include zinc in their formulas.

Nice product

I haven't used Elta MD UV clear in quite awhile and took it on a tropical vacation recently. My skin was protected plus it was very moisturizing and gave my skin a dewy, healthy look. I love how creamy it is and easy to apply!

Best Sunscreen

My esthetician gave me an important tip and now I LOVE this sunscreen. Warm it up in the palm of your hand then ‘press’ it into your skin and don’t touch after. The pressing prevents the sunscreen from rolling. I also use a good skin cream before applying the sunscreen. This is THE BEST sunscreen.

Good for oily skin

I struggle to find an SPF for my oily shiny skin. This one absorbs after about 10 minutes. I’m olive skin, so may look more tinted on fair skin, but works well for me. Not a coverage like foundation, but enough skin evening for errands or everyday no makeup. Makeup works well over it. Will be buying again.

Elta MD clear SPF

I have been using this product for years. It applies easily and doesn't leave a residue on my face. I live in the desert southwest, where the sun is always shining. It does the job against sun damage.

Excellent Sunscreen

I have delicate skin. It's oily, fair, and I have Rosacea. My dermatologist recommended this sunscreen to me a couple of years ago, and I have been using it since then. I always buy more than one at Lovely Skin when they have a 20% off discount.

Lightweight and invisible

This tinted sunscreen is so lightweight and goes on surprisingly clear for a mineral sunscreen. It dries nicely and feels great on my skin. I have very sensitive skin when it comes to sunscreen, but this didn’t cause any irritation at all.

Ride or Die

I have been using this for years and apply this every day after my skincare and usually mix with a makeup primer. It blends well and sets a wonderful stage for my cream or liquid foundation. I have combination skin and lean oilier in my T-Zone. This sunscreen is not overly oily or too matte, it’s just right, and not drying at all. I will continue stocking this as a daily go-to. I also use the EltaMD SPF eye cream for extra protection.
