EltaMD UV Clear Facial Sunscreen Broad-Spectrum SPF 46 ($44)
EltaMD's UV Clear Facial Sunscreen Broad-Spectrum SPF 46 is not only a bestseller on Amazon, but it's also highly recommended by several dermatologists. This sunscreen is formulated for those with acne-prone and sensitive skin types, including rosacea.
With a broad spectrum SPF 46 protection, it contains a blend of nine percent zinc oxide and seven percent octinoxate, a hybrid blend of both physical and chemical filters. It has a lightweight texture that blends into a sheer, silky finish that's calming and elegant on the skin. If you prefer something tinted, get the UV Clear Tinted Face Sunscreen SPF 46 ($46), which comes in two universally flattering tints that helps it blend into the skin more.

Editor Quote: The oil-free formula goes on thick and opaque but dries down to a demi-matte finish. It feels deeply hydrating on the skin but not heavy, especially during the colder months when my skin leans a bit drier. I've also noticed that some mineral formulations tend to break me out, but the EltaMD UV Clear Broad-Spectrum SPF 46 does not clog my pores or make my skin feel congested.. . .The Deep Tinted UV Clear SPF blends into a nearly-exact match to my skin tone. Since it provides enough coverage, I don't have to wear foundation and just use spot concealer instead. If you have a fair to medium skin tone, the Tinted UV Clear SPF is a better match." - Anvita Reddy, former assistant editor, Shopping
