Reviews For EltaMD UV Physical Broad Spectrum SPF 41 Lightly Tinted Mineral Sunscreen
Good Choice
Elta MD UV Physical Broad Spectrum SPF 41 (Tinted) was recommended by my dermatologist as offering good sun damaging protection. The tint is neutral, blends in to skin tone very nicely and leaves skin looking smooth and relatively poreless. My husband uses it daily straight from the tube. I find better application for my slightly dry skin is to apply it after a moisturizer. I rated it with 4 rather than 5 stars since I haven't tried it yet under foundation.

Great product
I wear this tinted sunscreen everyday. It moisturizes my skin and substitutes for my other foundation which I wear for times when I want full coverage. It seems to blend in with my skin color beautifully and is not too thick. Also it is great at protecting my face from sun damage.

Staple!
I have been using this for years! I have very sensitive skin so chemical sunscreens break me out in hives. I mix this sunscreen with other sunscreens for a more dewy effect, since using this alone makes me look too pale.

Good sunscreen but not my fav EltaMD
I love the color and texture of this sunscreen. I love that it is chemical free. Unfortunately a couple hours after I apply it my face feels so dry and sensitive. If I use it everyday I get so dry my face starts to peel. I really do want to love this sunscreen since I love so many other EltaMD sunscreens but it’s definitely not my favorite.

Pilled a little
I’ve tried a few tinted sunscreens and this is the best one so far. It’s not high coverage but I like it better that way. Only downside is that it pilled slightly on the sides of my forehead.

It was a little lumpy
I didn't like the texture when it first came out of the tube- I'm weird about texture so if that sounds strange, you will probably like this product! It felt fine on my face - but I won't buy it again just due to the texture haha

Really great protection, can be drying :/
I use topical tretinoin and it makes my skin very dry. Before I use this sunscreen I have to really hydrate and moisturize my skin or else the sunscreen will cling to my dry patches. I also have very sensitive eyes. Nearly every sunscreen irritates my eyes. This sunscreen does not irritate my eyes at all which i why I love this sunscreen and tolerate the dryness.

Best mineral tinted sunscreen
This is my favorite mineral tinted sunscreen. It works for my sensitive skin and isn't too dark or orange. Only reason why I won't give it a 5 is because it rubs off onto clothing/hats/etc very easily

Go to for outdoors
This products is great if you spend a lot of time outdoors. Didn’t give it 5 stars because it takes a bit to rub in.

Solid Physical Sunscreen!
Overall, great physical sunscreen. The tint works well for my pretty fair/light skin. I do find that when I have dry patches, this really makes them stick out. However, I prefer physical sunscreens to chemical, and this is the best I've found so far!

Great sunscreen
I really love this sunscreen. I typically get the Elta MD UV Replenish sunscreen which is also great but there is a lot more product in the UV physical. It goes in very smooth and not too dry. I will repurchase it as soon as I’m done. My skin didn’t break out and the tinted matched my face very well.

A staple
Always come back to this when I can't find the perfect sunscreen. It's a little light for darker skin tones, however, it matches most tones. I am looking for a sunscreen without tint though.

Nice but I wish it was darker
I do like this sunscreen. It feels good on my face, not heavy or sticky. And I have not had any kind of reaction to it. My only complaint is the color. It’s much too light for me in the summer. It will be better for me as a winter sunscreen.

Nice tint
My favorite EltaMD physical sunscreen is the SPF 44 tinted. It has a perfect texture for application and wears well under makeup or without. The problem with that one for me is that the tint is too yellow. The SPF 41 tinted is a nicer color for me…more cool. However, I don’t love the texture. I will wear it because I like how it looks on me.

Love the tinted color
I have very dry and sensitive skin and have hard time to find a sunscreen to fit my type without leaving shiny white cast and drying out my skin within 2 hours. This sunscreen not only blends in my skin tone naturally but also leaves a beautiful matte finish without magnifying the blemish. The sad part is I still need to reapply enough moisturizer through out the day so it won’t have that tight feeling on my cheeks area. Overall, I enjoy this sunscreen. Just wish it would be more economically friendly.

Summer tinted sunscreen
This is the sunscreen I use on my face in the summer. It's not shiny, and the color is just right.

Good for fair skin
Very light. Provides fairly good coverage for my fair skin, but would leave cast on anyone darker. Can be a little drying over time, but is good for oil control.

Good product, great tint. May not pair well with certain moisturizers/serums.
I think the universal tint is lovely and evens out skin tone well. Unfortunately it did not work for me. The product pilled up and it took too long to wipe the pills off, but when I did, it left a velvety finish when it dried down. I think this is due to the moisturizer I was using, which I can't give up due to contact dermatitis from preservatives. Speaking of which, this product did not irritate my skin! I ended up giving this to my mother, and it is working well for her!
