EltaMD UV Clear SPF 46 Travel Size: Your Calming Daily SPF, Sized for Life on the Go
EltaMD UV Clear Broad-Spectrum SPF 46 Travel Size puts EltaMD's oil-free, niacinamide-powered face sunscreen into a 0.5 oz (14 g) mini made for carry-ons, gym bags, and desk drawers. It is the same UV Clear formula built for sensitive, acne-prone, and rosacea-prone skin, sized so you can try it before committing or keep a backup wherever your day takes you.

- Limit time in the sun, especially from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.
- Wear long-sleeve shirts, pants, hats, and sunglasses.

FAQ
Is the travel size the same formula as full-size UV Clear?
Yes. EltaMD lists the same ingredients for the mini and the full-size UV Clear SPF 46. If you love it, the full-size EltaMD UV Clear SPF 46 offers 1.7 oz for everyday use at home.
How big is the EltaMD UV Clear Travel Size?
It holds 0.5 oz (14 g), well under the 3.4 oz carry-on liquids limit, so it fits easily in a quart-size travel bag.
Is UV Clear Travel Size good for acne-prone or sensitive skin?
Yes. UV Clear is oil-free, non-comedogenic, hypoallergenic, and fragrance-free, and EltaMD formulates it to calm and protect skin prone to breakouts, rosacea, and discoloration.
Will it leave a white cast?
The untinted formula goes on sheer. EltaMD notes it works best on fair, light, medium light, and medium skin tones. Deeper tones may prefer a tinted EltaMD formula.
Can I reapply it over makeup?
UV Clear layers well under makeup. For touch-ups during the day, gently pat a thin layer over areas that need it, or reapply fully on bare skin when you can.
Is the travel size water resistant?
No. UV Clear is not water resistant. For swimming or heavy sweating, choose a water-resistant sunscreen and reapply as directed.
Whether you are testing UV Clear for the first time or never leave home without it, the EltaMD UV Clear Travel Size keeps dependable, skin-calming SPF within reach.
