Plenty of skincare products have their moment in the sun, but EltaMD’s SPF is a true Hollywood mainstay.
In fact, so many superstars swear by the brand’s bestselling sunscreens that it just might easier to name famous folks who haven’t raved about the stuff in its nearly 15 years on the market.
While the brand’s offerings range from sport sunblocks to a UV stick, Hailey Bieber’s partial to the bestselling UV Daily SPF 40 Tinted Face Sunscreen — a longtime beauty editor favorite that’s ideal for dry and combination skin, since it’s made with hydrating hyaluronic acid.
“A lot of sunscreens make my skin break out and this one has been my holy grail,” the model said in a 2021 Elle video showcasing her morning beauty routine.
Tailor-made for those with sensitive, acne-prone and/or oilier skin types, the company’s UV Clear SPF 46 Face Sunscreen is also a clear A-list favorite; when Gwyneth Paltrow shared an Instagram Story snap of her beauty counter, a tube of UV Clear stood out in a sea of Goop-branded products.
Sydney Sweeney’s also an organic UV Clear fan — telling Vogue it’s “the only sunscreen I’ve found that doesn’t break me out” — as are “Real Housewives of Beverly Hill” alums like Lisa Rinna and Kyle Richards.
“It’s a miracle,” the latter said during an Amazon Live of the SPF, made with niacinamide to help reduce the appearance of blemishes and discoloration.
“All of my daughters use this. All of the girls on my show use this. I was first introduced to it by a doctor and then I started seeing it everywhere. I cannot say enough good things about this. I use it in the clear and I also have one with the tint.”
And Kendall Jenner, Hailee Steinfeld, Emma Chamberlain and Addison Rae are among the many stars who’ve applied UV Clear during their Vogue “Beauty Secrets” segments.
Our review
Stars aren’t the only ones obsessed, as several Page Six staffers are also longtime EltaMD UV Clear devotees.
“It provides stellar protection, plays well under makeup and doesn’t break me out. That’s pretty much all I could ask for in a sunscreen!” Page Six Style & Shopping Director Elana Fishman raves.
“I’ve tried both the tinted and untinted versions, and you really can’t go wrong with either one.
Page Six Commerce Writer Hannah Southwick is also a fan; like Elana, she discovered the formula from her dermatologist.
“The creamy formula blends in easily — and while I use it frequently, the bottle’s lasted me a long time,” she says.
Pros:
Wears well under makeup
Fragrance- and paraben-free
Contains niacinamide (vitamin B3) in addition to SPF 46
Cons:
At over $40, it’s a bit of a splurge
How we tested
Both Elana and Hannah have been testing the clear formula for over a year, wearing it both on its own and layered under makeup. Throughout our testing, we’ve prioritized the following points:
Texture: Was the formula lightweight and blendable?
Sensitivity: Did the product irritate sensitive or breakout-prone skin?
Makeup layering: Did it work well underneath foundation and other cosmetics?
