When a product is that good, it’s hard to stop talking about it! That’s why Kyle Richards and I can’t keep quiet about this tinted sunscreen — Sofia Richie-Grainge loves it too.
It’s also been recommended by several other A-listers like Richie-Grainge, Hailey Bieber and Kourtney Kardashian — so I knew it had to be good. After three months of testing, the sunscreen has solidified its place as a go-to in my beauty routine, not only for how well it protects my skin, but also for how well it pairs with my makeup.

Considering its massive celebrity backing, I had high hopes when I first tested out the EltaMD UV Clear Tinted Face Sunscreen at the beginning of this summer. I mean, Richards rarely goes on any of her Amazon lives without talking about it in some way, shape or form. This includes her latest livestream about her beach day essentials and her spring break haul livestream where she called it “the absolute best.”
With this facial sunscreen, my skin hasn’t seen a sunburn all summer thanks to its SPF of 46 and micronized zinc oxide base, shielding my face from UVA and UVB rays. However, it does so much more than that. In a mineral formula approved by celebrities, it has healthy-skin ingredients, including 5% niacinamide for blemishes and discoloration, hyaluronic acid for hydration and vitamin E for smoothing wrinkles and fine lines.
But that’s not all! My favorite part about the sunscreen, which kicked all of my other ones to the curb, is its face-smoothing tint. It literally acts as an IRL filter for the skin, color-correcting it, smoothing it out and providing it with some color to bring it to life. It pairs well with my foundation, but it’s made me confident enough to put the makeup down on some days as well.
Another thing about the sunscreen that I love, and have to assume celebrities do as well, is how safe it is to wear. It doesn’t include any of the bad stuff like parabens, dyes, fragrances, oils and is hypoallergenic, non-comedogenic and dermatologist-tested. It’s even recommended by the Skin Cancer Foundation for daily use. The brand recommends applying every two hours when out in the sun, which I found to be pretty accurate for my use as well.
The sunscreen comes in at $45 for the 1.7 oz bottle, which is a little on the pricier end, but for its effectiveness and celebrity and editor backing, it’s well worth the spend. A little goes a long way with it, so the bottle is bound to last you a few months of use before you have to restock. Pretty soon, you’ll be joining the rest of Us in recommending it to everyone you meet as well.
