  • Actually clear, not white. Most zinc sunscreens leave a chalky white cast — especially on deeper skin tones. The Clear Sunscreen blends in transparently for a clean, invisible finish that works on every complexion.
  • Hydrating, glowy, and stays put. Squalane and a lightweight base leave skin hydrated and luminous — and the formula doesn't sweat off easily or sting the eyes. Comfortable enough for active days, gentle enough for sensitive skin.
  • Boosted with vitamin C & ferulic acid. Antioxidants enhance the sunscreen's efficacy against free-radical damage and add a brightening, glow-promoting effect beyond UV protection alone.

The Clear Sunscreen
The Clear Sunscreen
Dr. Colombo speaking about the Clear Sunscreen
  • Clear, Not White-Cast

  • SPF 35 Broad-Spectrum

  • 14% Zinc Oxide

  • Vitamin C + Ferulic

Clear mineral SPF that's actually clear.

Most zinc sunscreens leave a chalky white cast. Anyone with deeper skin tones knows the trade-off well: real UV protection versus looking ashy and gray. And the alternative — chemical sunscreens — sting, irritate, and degrade quickly in the sun.

The Clear Sunscreen solves both. 14% zinc oxide delivers broad-spectrum SPF 35 in a formula engineered to blend in transparently, not whiten the skin. Squalane and a lightweight base leave a hydrated, glowy finish — never chalky. And it's boosted with vitamin C and ferulic acid for enhanced antioxidant efficacy and a brightening glow that goes beyond UV protection. No chemicals, no fragrance, no preservatives, no titanium dioxide, no tint, no white cast.

What It Does

Clear, hydrating, vitamin-C boosted.

  • 01

    Broad-Spectrum SPF 35

    14% zinc oxide reflects UVA and UVB to protect against burning, premature aging, and DNA damage — without chemical filters that can sting or trigger reactions.

  • 02

    Iron Oxide for Visible Light

    Even though it's untinted, The Clear Sunscreen contains iron oxide to defend against visible light — important for melasma and hyperpigmentation, and a real differentiator vs other clear mineral SPFs.

  • 03

    Truly Clear — Not White

    The Clear Sunscreen blends in transparently — no chalky cast, no gray finish, no settling. Designed to work on every skin tone, including the deeper complexions other zinc sunscreens fail.

  • 04

    Hydrating & Glowy Finish

    Squalane and a lightweight base leave skin hydrated and luminous — never dry, never chalky, never greasy. A subtle glow you can wear under makeup or on bare skin.

  • 05

    Vitamin C + Ferulic Boost

    Stabilized vitamin C and ferulic acid enhance the sunscreen's efficacy against free-radical damage and add a brightening, glow-promoting effect that goes beyond UV protection alone.

  • 06

    Loved by Men & Sensitive Skin

    Doesn't sweat off on active days, doesn't sting the eyes, and contains no fragrance or chemicals to trigger reactions. Guys love it, sensitive skin tolerates it, and acne-prone skin can wear it without breakouts — lightweight, oil-free, and non-comedogenic.

Truly clear mineral protection.

Dr. Colombo's truly clear mineral sunscreen — boosted with vitamin C and ferulic acid for enhanced efficacy and glow. Hydrating, never chalky, no chemicals, no tint, no white cast.

HOW TO USE

Clean protection, every morning.


01 Apply Last in the AM

Use as the final step in your morning routine: after serums and moisturizer, before sun exposure. A pea-sized amount covers the face and blends easily.


02 Layer Under Anything

Because The Clear Sunscreen is untinted, it works under foundation, BB cream, or whatever you wear on top, no color-matching needed.


03 Reapply Every 3–4 Hours

If you're in direct sunlight, reapply every 3 to 4 hours. A mineral powder works well over the top for touch-ups without disturbing makeup.


04 Pair with Antioxidants

Use The Booster underneath in the morning for maximum free-radical defense — antioxidants plus mineral SPF is the gold-standard daytime combination.

Choosing between Tint, Dewy Tint, and Clear? Pick The Clear for a truly clear, hydrating, glowy finish with no tint (no white cast, no makeup-like coverage). Pick The Tint for a matte airbrushed finish with tinted coverage. Pick The Dewy Tint for a glowy, hydrating finish with sheer tinted coverage.

CUSTOMER REVIEWS

Real Reviews. Real Results.

Everything you need to know before buying.

Who is The Clear Sunscreen best for?

It works for everyone, but it's especially loved by men (who often dislike tinted or chalky sunscreens), people with sensitive skin or rosacea, anyone with deeper skin tones tired of white-cast zinc sunscreens, and post-procedure care (including after laser treatments or chemical peels). The chemical-, fragrance-, and preservative-free formula makes it one of the cleanest mineral SPFs available.

Does it leave a white cast?

No — that's the point. The Clear Sunscreen was formulated specifically to avoid the chalky white cast that most zinc sunscreens leave behind. It blends in transparently on every skin tone, including deeper complexions. The formulation pairs micronized zinc with squalane and a lightweight base for a clear, glowy finish.

Can people with acne-prone skin use it?

Yes. It's lightweight, oil-free, and non-comedogenic — comfortable for acne-prone skin and a good choice if other sunscreens have caused breakouts.

Is it safe post-procedure?

Yes. It's ideal for post-procedure skin, including after laser treatments or chemical peels. The chemical-, fragrance-, and preservative-free formula is among the gentlest options available.

Does it have iron oxide?

Yes. Even though it's untinted, it contains iron oxide for visible-light protection, important for melasma and pigment-prone skin. A real differentiator vs other clear mineral SPFs.

How often should I reapply?

Apply in the morning as the last step in your skincare routine, before sun exposure. Reapply every 3–4 hours if in direct sunlight. A mineral powder works well over the top for touch-ups without disturbing makeup.
