EltaMD Launches Revolutionary Sunscreen for Oily, Acne-Prone Skin on National Dermatologist Day
On the occasion of National Dermatologist Day, EltaMD has launched its latest breakthrough product, the UV Clear Blemish-Prone Oil Balancing SPF 50. This innovative sunscreen is formulated specifically for those with oily and acne-prone skin, addressing a common challenge faced by many individuals in their skincare routine.
Derived from the brand's highly regarded UV Clear line, this new sunscreen aims to tackle active breakouts and control excess oil production, while providing a lightweight finish that has made the UV Clear range a trusted favorite among dermatologists. Many users will be relieved to discover that its non-comedogenic and non-acnegenic formula offers a substantial reduction in visible blemishes—up to 65% over 12 weeks as supported by clinical studies.
The star of this formulation is the unique Zinc-AOX Pro Technology™, which combines 11% high-purity Zinc Oxide with four potent antioxidants. This advanced formula provides a dual-action approach: it not only delivers unparalleled protection against harmful UV rays and environmental aggressors (including blue light and diesel exhaust) but it also features 5% Niacinamide to clinically improve the appearance of blemishes and oily skin.
Clinical results from a 12-week study conducted on participants with oily and acne-prone skin highlighted significant improvements. By the end of the study, participants reported a 61% reduction in excess oil and shine, alongside a noticeable 25% decrease in pore size. These results validate the effectiveness of EltaMD’s approach to combining sun protection with skin care.
Celebrated on March 13, National Dermatologist Day honors the vital role dermatologists play in enhancing people's health and confidence regarding their skin. This year marks a significant milestone, coinciding with the 220th anniversary of EltaMD's parent company, Colgate-Palmolive. To commemorate these notable events, a representative from Colgate-Palmolive will ring the closing bell at the New York Stock Exchange, highlighting both the dermatological community's contributions to skincare and the launch of this innovative product.
Echo Sandburg, Chief Brand Officer at Colgate-Palmolive Skin Health Group, emphasized the importance of dermatologists in shaping patients' self-assurance and health outcomes: "Launching this formula on National Dermatologist Day reflects our deep partnership with the dermatology community and our commitment to delivering clinically tested formulas that address the real concerns dermatologists treat every day.”
EltaMD’s UV Clear Blemish-Prone Oil Balancing SPF 50 is set to be available for purchase in authorized professional offices starting March 13, with a wider rollout anticipated on April 13 through EltaMD.com and authorized online retailers. Retailing at $49, this product represents a significant advancement in sun protection specifically tailored for oily, acne-prone skin.
