**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.

Perfect moisturizer and sunscreen!

I love this product. The lotion is quickly absorbed and gives a healthy flow to my face. I feel protected from the bright sun.

Sunscreen is great but bottle consistently sucks and waste of money.

I stoped buyingt this sunscreen as their bottles waste so much, so I would not trust that anyone gets to finish all the product. Many of the bottles I've purchased throughout years does not pump correctly either. Twice I decided to open a bottle that was presumably finished, and I broke it and there was so so much left in there. I will never buy this product again.

Best sunscreen ever!

This is a wonderful product, recommended by my dermatologist. It works well to block sun rays and doesn't cause breakouts or feel greasy.

Love it

in the past I’ve used sunscreen that left me a little shiny, which was not ideal. Not this. It is moisturizing without being shiny. This will be in my routine from here on out.

Best Face Sunscreen

This is the best sunscreen I’ve ever used! It really works — no sunburn, even after hours in the sun. It’s smooth, lightweight, and not greasy. A little expensive, but totally worth it for the protection and quality.

Perfect Daily SPF for Sensitive, Reactive Ski

I’ve tried countless highly recommended sunscreens, and my sensitive skin usually breaks out within hours — even with brands that used to work well for me. It’s perfect for my highly sensitive, highly reactive skin, goes on beautifully with zero white cast or chalkiness, and has no scent. It provides excellent protection from the sun, and I wear it daily. Absolutely love it. 5/5!

My Go-To Sunscreen!

I will forever and always use this sunscreen! It smells great, doesn't leave a white cast, and after spending many hours exercising in the sun, I never get sunburnt. Love it!

Elta MD UV Clear Broad Spectrum

I have been using a different brand for over 20 years and was not pleased with their SPF product. Elta MD was recommended and I am so glad because I am quite happy with the product, the texture and the lightness of the feel on my face. Thank you.

Game changer! Elta MD UV Clear

As an aesthetician, I can't recommend EltaMD UV Clear Tinted Sunscreen enough! It’s a staple in my skincare recommendations, and my patients absolutely love it. Lightweight, non-comedogenic, and packed with skin-loving ingredients like niacinamide, it provides broad-spectrum protection without clogging pores or feeling heavy. The sheer tint blends beautifully into most skin tones, giving a natural, healthy glow. Perfect for sensitive, acne-prone, or post-treatment skin—this sunscreen is truly a game-changer!

My favorite sunscreen ever!

I absolutely love this sunscreen and I am VERY picky about sunscreens. I was shocked that I liked this SO much better than my beloved Japanese sunscreen that I had been using. I have ocular rosacea and have to be careful what I put on my skin to avoid flare ups. Seeing I could not read the ingredients on the Japanese sunscreen I was using, I figured I should use this as my dry eye specialist suggested it to me. I am happy that I did! I like this better! It sinks in beautifully and after a minute or so, I don't even feel like I have anything on. It layers wonderfully with everything else I use on my face. I have oily skin, and this does not feel oily or greasy on me. I only use it on my face so it lasts me quite a long time! I still use my Japanese sunscreen on the rest of my body! Win/win!
