by EltaMD
Updated August 18, 2026
Contains 5% niacinamide to calm redness and support sensitive skin
What the community says
A tinted mineral SPF 46 with 5% niacinamide that soothes redness while protecting sensitive and eczema-prone skin. It feels moisturizing but can dry some users out and feels heavy to those who dislike richer creams. Not ideal for very oily skin or those avoiding niacinamide.
