Why EltaMD® UV Clear Is a Dermatologist-Recommended Essential

EltaMD® UV Clear has earned its reputation as one of the most trusted, high-performance sunscreens available today—and it’s easy to see why. Frequently recommended by dermatologists and licensed estheticians, this mineral-based formula is a standout for those with sensitive, acne-prone, rosacea-prone, or easily irritated skin.

Unlike many traditional sunscreens, EltaMD UV Clear is free from heavy emollients and harsh chemicals that often lead to breakouts or irritation. Instead, it features transparent zinc oxide, combined with a strategic blend of skin-loving ingredients like niacinamide, lactic acid, and sodium hyaluronate, offering both protection and skincare benefits in one step.

You can purchase EltaMD UV Clear directly from Cure Skin Lab—online or at Cure in person.

Ideal for Acne-Prone, Oily, and Sensitive Skin

EltaMD UV Clear is specifically formulated for individuals who struggle with skin congestion and breakouts. Its inclusion of niacinamide (vitamin B3) and lactic acid helps to reduce inflammation, regulate oil production, and promote a clearer, smoother complexion—all while providing broad-spectrum UVA/UVB protection with 9% zinc oxide. These ingredients also play a role in fading post-acne marks and preventing the worsening of hyperpigmentation.

Supports Rosacea and Sensitized Skin

For those dealing with rosacea or general skin reactivity, UV Clear’s lightweight, non-irritating formula is a game-changer. Free from common chemical sunscreen agents like oxybenzone and avobenzone, it helps reduce the likelihood of flare-ups. The addition of niacinamide offers calming, redness-reducing benefits, making it suitable for daily wear—even in challenging skin conditions.

Non-Comedogenic, Non-Greasy, and No White Cast

What sets EltaMD UV Clear apart is its transparent finish and elegant texture. It absorbs easily without leaving behind a greasy residue or an unsightly white cast, making it especially appealing for individuals with deeper skin tones or those who wear makeup. Its matte, invisible finish also makes it a great primer under foundation or tinted moisturizers.

Brightening and Barrier-Supporting Benefits

Thanks to its niacinamide base, this sunscreen doesn’t just protect—it also works to even out skin tone and support barrier function. Regular use helps to minimize the appearance of dark spots and discoloration caused by sun exposure or post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. With sodium hyaluronate, it adds a hydration boost without clogging pores or feeling heavy.

Suitable for Daily Wear—For Everyone

This sunscreen is lightweight enough for everyday use, yet powerful enough to meet the demands of high-exposure environments. Its non-irritating formula makes it an ideal option for those who are typically sunscreen-averse. It’s loved by both women and men for its quick absorption, breathable feel, and versatility across climates and skin types.
