Overview
e.l.f. SKIN All Set For Sun is a clear setting spray rated SPF 45, built on the chemical filters avobenzone, octisalate, and octocrylene. It is fragrance free, vegan, and cruelty free, and it is marketed as a mist that locks in makeup while adding sun protection on top.
It is designed to be sprayed over a finished makeup look during the day, giving a way to reapply sunscreen without disturbing foundation or concealor. The listing notes it is not water resistant, so it is better suited to indoor to light outdoor days than swimming or heavy sweating.
With 1,400 reviews averaging 4.0 stars, it sits at the lower end of the ratings in this group, suggesting solid but more mixed feedback compared to some of the higher rated picks here.
Pros
- Clear formula designed not to disturb makeup
- SPF 45 from a three filter chemical UV blend
- Fragrance free, vegan, and cruelty free
- Budget friendly price point
- Convenient spray format for daytime touch ups
Cons
- Not water resistant, so it is not suited to swimming or heavy sweat
- 4.0 star average is the lowest rating in this comparison
- Spray reapplication may not give the same even coverage as a cream or lotion applied by hand
Performance notes
Avobenzone, octisalate, and octocrylene are commonly used together to build broad spectrum chemical sun protection. A spray format is convenient for reapplying sunscreen over makeup during the day, but sprays generally do not offer the same even, measured coverage as a cream applied directly with the hands, so this style works best as a touch up on top of a base layer of sun protection rather than as the sole source of coverage during long outdoor exposure.
What buyers say
A 4.0 star average across roughly 1,400 reviews is a solid but more mixed result compared to the 4.4 to 4.6 star averages seen elsewhere in this set, suggesting some buyers find the spray format or reapplication routine less convincing even though many still rate it favorably.

Frequently asked questions
Can I use this as my only sunscreen for the day?
It is designed as a setting spray and touch up product rather than a primary sunscreen, and since it is not water resistant and spray application tends to be less even than a cream, it works best layered on top of a base sunscreen rather than used alone.
Will spraying this disturb my makeup?
The formula is clear and marketed to lock in makeup rather than smear or streak it, which is the main appeal of using a setting spray for a midday sun protection touch up.
Is it water resistant for outdoor activity?
No, the listing specifies it is not water resistant, so it is better suited to everyday indoor or light outdoor wear than to swimming or workouts where you would sweat heavily.
