Trusted by dermatologists, loved by skin.
Are EltaMD UV Clear and UV Recovery non-comedogenic?
Yes. Both UV Clear and UV Recovery are non-comedogenic, meaning they're formulated and tested not to clog pores. That's what makes them safe, everyday sunscreen choices for acne-prone and breakout-prone skin.
Is EltaMD sunscreen mineral or chemical?
It depends on the product. UV Recovery is 100% mineral (zinc oxide only). UV Clear is a hybrid formula that pairs transparent zinc oxide with a chemical filter for a lightweight, invisible finish. Both are non-comedogenic and safe for acne-prone skin.
Can I wear EltaMD sunscreen under makeup?
Yes. Both UV Clear and UV Recovery absorb quickly and leave a soft, non-greasy finish that layers smoothly under foundation and makeup, so they fit easily into a daily routine.
Are EltaMD sunscreens safe for sensitive, rosacea-prone, or post-procedure skin?
Yes. Both are widely recommended by dermatologists for sensitive and reactive skin. UV Recovery in particular is designed to soothe and repair, making it a strong choice for rosacea-prone or post-procedure skin.
