Pros
ConsThe details
A popular choice with mineral-based ingredients, EltaMD UV Clear Facial Sunscreen shows its best results on acne-prone skin. It has a non-greasy formula that gets easily absorbed without looking shiny on the skin.
Effectiveness
It is a zinc-based sunscreen with SPF 46 that offers serious protection from the sun. The product delivers broad-spectrum coverage to shield users from UVA and UVB rays. It stays effective for up to 80 minutes and ensures protection throughout.
Customers adore its silky feel that absorbs quickly into the skin without leaving any residue behind, and if you have a preference for either tinted or untinted, you can choose the one you prefer.
Raving reviews also talk about the product’s intense coverage and protection giving it a wide edge over the competition. Another plus is its ability to blend flawlessly underneath makeup.
Ingredient quality
Formulated with hyaluronic acid to soothe the redness and visible appearance of acne, it provides the right dose of moisture for troubled skin without causing any irritation.
Its antioxidant niacinamide content gives this sunscreen anti-inflammatory qualities and increases ceramides to allow for normalizing moisture balance.
Incorporating only the best ingredients to use on acne-prone skin, EltaMD’s mineral formula is an excellent option as it doesn’t feel heavy on the skin.
However, some users felt that this formula didn’t have sufficient moisturizing benefits so had to use a moisturizer as an add-on.
Safety
Even though hyaluronic acid works miracles, it could easily cause your skin to dry your skin if you’re not careful.
Considered safe and effective for acne breakouts, most people with such skin issues can tolerate this formula well.
Value for money
This sunscreen comes in a 1.7-ounce can which is significantly tinier than other similar products. But since it does cater to special skin needs and delivers good results, users don’t mind paying the asking price.
Final verdict
For people with acne-prone skin, this is one of the best options available. It offers adequate protection without feeling heavy or sticky on the skin, letting the pores breathe. And its clever choice of carefully selected ingredients suits the sensitive needs of acne-prone skin really well.
