EltaMD UV Clear Face Sunscreen Broad-Spectrum SPF 46 ($35, originally $44)
The EltaMD UV Clear Face Sunscreen is a favorite sunscreen of many dermatologists. It's great for those with sensitive or acne-prone skin. The formula is a zinc oxide-based physical sunscreen that's unscented but has no whitecast, and the solution is also formulated with ingredients like niacinamide, lactic acid, and sodium hyaluronate to keep your skin balanced and hydrated. You can also get the EltaMD UV Clear Broad-Spectrum SPF 46 - Tinted ($46), which is a tinted version of the original if you're looking for something with a little bit of coverage. One of our editors even confirmed it lives up to the dermatologist hype, which you can read about in her full review of the EltaMD UV Clear Broad-Spectrum SPF 46.
Editor Quote: "I've tried and tested plenty of sunscreens through the years, and I've noticed that mineral sunscreens leave some sort of white cast (even if it's subtle) unless they are tinted dark enough to match my tan skin. The EltaMD UV Clear Broad-Spectrum SPF 46 has a unique hybrid formula that uses both physical and chemical UV filters so that its application — along with the look and feel — are more elegant on the skin compared to others on the market. It feels deeply hydrating on the skin but not heavy, especially during the colder months when my skin leans a bit drier." — Anvita Reddy, former assistant editor, Shopping
