EltaMD UV Clear SPF 46 is a lightweight, oil‑free facial sunscreen with transparent zinc oxide designed to protect sensitive and acne‑prone skin without leaving a white cast.

The pump 3.7‑ounce size gives multiple applications for everyday use at home, work, or outdoors.

How does EltaMD UV Clear protect without feeling heavy?
