Reviews For EltaMD UV Physical Broad Spectrum SPF 41 Lightly Tinted Mineral Sunscreen
not very easy to spread
this is very thick, so it's not very easy to spread, and feels like you need more of it to cover the whole face. the tint is nice though and skin looks glowy after

Daily Go To
A great sunscreen that, for me, doubles as a light foundation. For days when I am doing errands or hanging around the neighborhood it is all I need.

Tint and texture are wonderful, not chalky
I was worried that this tinted SPF would be either chalky or orangey, and neither is the case — it goes on very easily and discreetly, and it’s very effective as SPF. I find it slightly drying, so prefer to mix it with moisturizer before applying, and I use an untinted product on my chest and neck to avoid getting the tinted product on clothes. I will still repurchase and re-purchase this product though — best I have found in the category!

Best sunscreen!
I have tried so many mineral sunscreens and this one is my favorite! I love the light tint. It makes my pores and skin look even more blurred and better. It’s also the perfect color for my fair/light complexion. This sunscreen looks fantastic alone and works well under makeup. No pilling. I recently had surgery and wanted to try this because it was recommended for post surgical patients. I would highly recommend it for that reason but i will continue to use it even after recovery.

Good Alternative for a Better Price
I used to be a ‘EltaMD UV Clear Tinted Broad-Spectrum SPF 46‘ fanatic telling all my sisters and friends to use it. It is the only thing I would wear daily on my skin. But when my eyes started to burn in the summer, I found out, after doing a lot of research, that it was bc my skin was sensitive to the sunscreen, and it contained octinoxate. So, I switched to this. The formulation is thicker/drier and it leaves a tiny bit of a white cast on my Asian skin, but it doesn’t rub off on my clothes like the other one. I think it’s a passable alternative but definitely doesn’t give as much coverage.

Best sunscreen out there!
I have tried so many brands and types, including most of the other Elta ones. This is by far my favorite! It offers enough coverage that most days I don't need foundation. I'm pretty pale, and this doesn't make me look orange. I highly recommend this sunscreen to anyone looking for good coverage for their skin and protection from the sun.

Works great as a facial sunscreen
I've been using this sunscreen on my face for about a year now and can finally say, it works great! I have sensitive skin so I will try something for a LONG time before I decide if it works or not. This stuff works. No breakouts, no rashes, no sunburn. It is creamy, easy to apply, and tinted. It rubs in pretty easily and matches well with my slightly tan Asian American skin. Depending on your skin tone, this may or may not work for you.

Eltamd UV Physical Broad Spectrum SPF 41
I’ve been using this Eltamd sunscreen for quite awhile. I love the effectiveness and it was highly recommended by my plastic surgeon. The color of the tint is perfect.

EltaMD physical spf 41
I have used this a few times and really like the silky lightly tinted mineral spf. It blends in nicely (I have light skin) and is not shiny or cakey. I even put it on my neck and it did not stain clothing. It’s a keeper.

solid sunscreen for *anyone*!
This is a perfect sunscreen for kids & adults. Doesn't flake. Goes on smoothly. My husband loves it because it doesn't sting nor run into his eyes when he's running or swimming in the desert heat! He also doesn't mind its nice slight tint as it covers up his uneven skin tone, too. I wouldn't recommend it for using under makeup, though, unless it's just some mascara/eyeliner/brow color type thing. Truly an outdoor/everyday sort of sunscreen.

Great combo of quality, quantity, and price
I've spent a while looking for a quality, tinted, all mineral sunscreen that's pretty easy to apply and this was one of the best combinations of all of those, especially given that this is a 3 oz bottle. It can go on a little thick, but have had zero issues with it drying down in less than 5 minutes. Have already repurchased once and will continue to do so.

Great water resistant sunscreen
Great water resistant sunscreen. Tint is light and due to the thickness of this sunscreen it gives light coverage similar to a light foundation. Product is thick but doesn't feel greasy on.

Great daily sunscreen!
This has been my daily go-to for years. I have melasma, so it’s essential that I use a tinted mineral sunscreen to help keep my spots at bay. I use this sunscreen in lieu of foundation and love the way it helps even everything out. I think this sunscreen would be perfect if: 1.) It came in more colors to fit a wider range of skin tones. This color works great for my light complexion, but would not work for darker skin tones…or even fair tones, I imagine. 2.) The spf was higher! It would be great if it was spf 50. Still, if the color works for you, this is a wonderful and effective product!

Anther great Elta MD sunscreen...but...
I have tried many of the eta MD sunscreens and feel they are the best on the market. I see them in every derm office. I have gravitated to the TINTED versions because then I usually dont wear foundation.Just a little eye concealer. HOWEVER, this one says "lightly tinted" ,not Tinted as the others. The zinc is still faintly visible and I look pale. s this is just a color preference.
