Our review
UV Clear has for years been the face sunscreen US dermatologists recommend most, and the hype has substance: it's formulated for skin that usually reacts to sunscreen — sensitive, acne-prone or rosacea-prone.
It pairs a mineral filter (9% zinc oxide) with a chemical one (octinoxate), so it isn't 100% mineral, but the result is a light texture with no white cast. It also has 5% niacinamide, which helps calm redness and even tone with daily use.
It works beautifully under makeup and doesn't pill. Its weak points are the price per ounce and that it isn't water resistant: for the beach or sports you'll need something else.
With 71,000+ reviews at 4.5 stars, few skincare products have such clear consensus. If you struggle to find a sunscreen that doesn't irritate or break you out, start here.
How to use
Apply every morning as the last skincare step, about 15 minutes before sun exposure. Reapply every 2 hours outdoors.
