Expected more
On the bright side, it smooths on sheer. No white cast. Disappointingly, I only need a dime size dispensed and the spout squirts out double that amount. It's wasteful. I prefer a dispenser with better control.

Elta MD tinted sunscreen
Unfortunately I had to send it back. It caused a breakout reaction every time I applied it to my face. I stopped using it for a few days then tried again & it was even worse. I did like the way it felt on my skin but my skin did not love it.

Pilling
I was very excited to try this product however I find it’s not suitable for my dry skin. It’s also pilling a lot with various moisturizers.

Not for me
I personally dont like sunscreens that leave my skin shining. This one also peels and leave a white cast, so its not good for makeup.

BEWARE! PILLS EVEN WHEN NOT WEARING MAKEUP!
I recently bought the untinted version since I have acne prone skin and wanted to find and use a good sunscreen. When I found this sunscreen and saw that the reviews all seemed to be positive, I bought it. When I first apply the sunscreen, it goes on really smooth and doesn’t feel tacky. As I start to leave it on my face for some time, I notice that it starts to pill even though I have never worn makeup with it. I’m sure that it does protect me from the sun but the pilling kind of ruined it for me.

Terrible below your makeup
I have always used sunscreen on a clean face, as the first layer, then concealer, and next foundation powder, finishing with blush. This sunscreen was so unstable it rolled into little piles and peeled right off my face. I had to remove everything and start over without this sunscreen. I am very disappointed in this product and I would never purchase it again.

Good formula, but burns my eyes
I have sensitive skin, but haven't had a problem with other EltaMD products. I decided to switch to this formula (since it claims to calm acne prone skin) since I thought it would be less heavy for warm summer days. Unfortunately, the minute I put it on my face, my eyes started stinging and burning. I hadn't changed anything else in my product routine -- so this sunscreen was the problem. I tried it again the next day, and same burning eye experience. I will use something else around my eyes and limit this product to use around the lower part of my face.

Good coverage but made me break out
I am in my late 30s with relatively clear skin. This formula looked great on (color, consistency, protection) but caused congestion on my forehead and around my nose. Shame because I really liked the feel!

Not for me
I found I broke out after using this sunscreen. I’m not prone to breakouts like it states it helps either. But after using it a few different times I had the same thing happen every time and I wound up just tossing it.

I have oily skin and am acne prone and I was hoping that this sunscreen would work for me but it just didn't. It pilled and just for some reason didn't work for my skin type.

Ok
I did not like this sunscreen after two uses it leaves a white cast, and it pills up.

Not for highly reactive skin
My face started burning and broke out in hives as soon as this was applied. I do have highly reactive skin, but I’m able to use other EltaMD products. Giving two stars because I know EltaMD makes quality sunscreens and products.

NOT for highly reactive skin!
I’m only giving two stars because I really like EltaMD. However, as soon as I put this on my face, my skin started burning and broke out in hives. It was extremely painful!

Shiny
I did not like this sunscreen. It dries to a shiny weird film on your face.

So disappointing!
I have sensitive skin, and was so excited to read about this moisturizer/sunscreen. It definitely did not live up to its promise, however. Two serious problems: as soon as I applied it to my cheeks they began to burn and itch. This sensation lasted for quite a while. Also, once it dried it left a white, chalky residue on my skin. I had to apply my old lotion over it, to get rid of the white streaks. This product did not work for me at all.

Burning
I didn't even get outside before feeling the burn of this SPF formula. Will not buy again, and I also got the SPF for the body. Should have tested it first before buying two, but I have never had a reaction like this.

It goes on clear and feels good on your skin. However, I broke out. I was really disappointed after reading all the good reviews. I will not buy again.
