EltaMD UV Clear Broad-Spectrum SPF 46

EltaMD UV Clear Broad-Spectrum SPF 46 is a dermatologist-recommended facial sunscreen formulated for sensitive, acne-prone, and rosacea-prone skin. This lightweight, non-comedogenic formula combines transparent zinc oxide with niacinamide to provide powerful UVA/UVB protection while calming irritation and reducing redness. Ideal for daily wear under makeup or on its own, it helps support skin clarity, even tone, and long-term barrier health.
