EltaMD UV Clear Blemish-Prone & Oil Balancing SPF 50 is a lightweight hybrid sunscreen developed and tested specifically for acne-prone and oily skin. It pairs broad-spectrum SPF 50 with 5% niacinamide so you can protect your skin from UV damage while actively working on blemishes, shine, and enlarged pores. The non-greasy, fragrance-free formula dries down to a transparent, natural finish that sits well under makeup or on its own.
Fewer visible breakouts: Clinically shown to reduce visible blemishes by 65% over 12 weeks, thanks to high-purity 5% niacinamide that calms and clarifies acne-prone skin.
Less shine throughout the day: Reduces visible excess oil and shine by 61%, giving oily skin a balanced, matte-leaning finish without a heavy or occlusive feel.
Refined-looking pores: Reduces visible pore size by 25%, helping skin look smoother and more even the longer you use it.
Gentle broad-spectrum defense: 11% zinc oxide and 3.5% octinoxate deliver UVA/UVB protection, with zinc oxide adding anti-inflammatory support that suits reactive, breakout-prone skin.
Antioxidant environmental protection: Zinc-AOX Pro Technology combines four antioxidants with zinc oxide to boost photostability and shield skin from UV rays, blue light, HEVL, smog, and diesel exhaust.

If you have oily or acne-prone skin and have struggled to find a sunscreen that does not clog pores or leave you looking greasy by midday, this SPF was made for you. It is non-comedogenic and non-acnegenic, so it protects without triggering the congestion and breakouts many sunscreens cause on blemish-prone complexions.
It is also a strong fit for anyone dealing with active breakouts, visible shine, or enlarged pores who wants daily sun protection that works on those concerns at the same time. The fragrance-free formula and calming zinc oxide make it gentle enough for sensitive, easily irritated skin.
Those looking for a lightweight daily sunscreen that layers well under makeup will appreciate the transparent, natural finish with no white cast or tacky residue.
-
Measure out about a nickel-sized amount for your face alone. Most people under-apply sunscreen, which lowers the SPF you actually get, so a generous, even layer is what unlocks the full blemish and oil-balancing benefits over time.
-
Apply: Smooth a liberal, even layer over the face and neck 15 minutes before sun exposure.
Frequency: Reapply at least every 2 hours, and more often after sweating or towel drying.
Technique: Use as the final step in your morning routine and allow it to absorb before applying makeup.
