UV Clear Blemish-Prone SPF 50
$49.00
EltaMD UV Clear is built for faces that break out easily. The lotion stays light enough under makeup and does not feel like a sport brick. Niacinamide positioning matches congested skin better than thick beach formulas. It costs more than drugstore clears. Worth it if SPF is the step you usually skip because texture feels wrong.
