I’ll let you in on something I share with top dermatologists, Hailey Bieber, and Drew Barrymore (to name a few fans): We all love EltaMD’s UV Clear sunscreen. The brand specializes in skin-friendly, elegantly formulated sunscreen. Aside from regularly being name-dropped by celebs and beauty editors, EltaMD is a rather unlikely viral beauty hit. For starters, at $44, it faces stiff competition from drugstore juggernauts that clock in at half the price; and it boasts a prescription-quality packaging – and I say this with love — that doesn’t necessarily scream “luxe.” But perhaps that unique cosmeceutical crunchiness is part of its draw — after all, it’s what’s inside that counts. Ahead, I tried the mystical bottle for myself on my acne-prone skin to see if it could be my sunscreen dreams come true.
