Reviews For EltaMD UV Physical Broad Spectrum SPF 41 Lightly Tinted Mineral Sunscreen
It works.
It works. Still feels slightly heavy on the skin but much less so than any other mineral sunscreen I have tried. Not completely translucent but no noticeable white coating. No sunburn so I guess it’s doing it’s job.

Dermatologist-recommended - love the tint added!
I prefer sunscreens with physical blockers zinc oxide and titanium dioxide. I love that this is so highly recommended by dermatologists. The tint added is perfect and great for everyday use under makeup. Took off one star because price just went up and it's already quite expensive.

Pretty good sunscreen
It's thick cream so it gives a good coverage. I notice that it gets absorbed quickly and it's matte. It doesn't rub in my clothes and it holds all day. The only thing is that it dries my face so I have to use a good moisturizer under it. Overall, it's pretty good. I used to use a different sunscreen but they changed the formulation and it leaves my face greasy so I switched to EltaMD. I would recommend to my family and friends.

Beautiful texture
Blends in beautifully, feels buttery smooth, but dry at the end of the day.

Great Face Sunscreen
This is a great face sunscreen with a flattering tint that doesn't look orange-y or yellow on my skin. It is a big tube for the price which I was happy with. I would have given it 5 stars if it were water-resistant for more than 40 minutes, because I do an outdoor pool class several times a week.

Good Tint
The tint in this product works well for me. I am light-medium neutral skin tone. I would recommend this product for people with oily skin. I typically do have oily skin but my new medication had given me dryer skin along with the dry air of winter and so I am getting dry patches of product on my cheeks. If you have very dry skin i'd recommend trying something different or putting a heavy cream on first.

Reef Safe and high quality
I bought this to use in the ocean, and I haven't tried it in the ocean yet to see how water resistant it is. It only supposed to stay on 40 minutes in the water. It feels nice on the skin. The tint is nearly transparent and kind of dissapears on the skin.

Great product!
I love all EltaMD products! This is another great product by the brand. It has great sunscreen protection and is affordable on LovelySkin for the brand. It is a bit dark for me (I'm a very fair redhead), and I wish it came in a lighter (or untinted) version. Also, my skin is very dry so this gives me a nice dewy look, but if your skin is oily, I think this may be to greasy looking for you. However, it dries very quickly and nicely, so even if you have oily skin, it may be fine.

Great sun protection!
I really love this product. It has a matte finish, and even works well with dryer skin types. I only gave it four stars because it was difficult to blend. I normally pat on my skincare as rubbing tend to make my skin red. I actually had to rub this one in. At first it appeared as though it was not going to blend in. However, as I allowed it to dry it evened out to a beautiful finish. The tinted version has a nice color to it. It is a VERY light coverage, but I don’t mind because I am not a foundation wearer.

Nice product
This sunscreen is not too thick, yet very effective. The price point is fair. I do not believe the "universal tint" shows at all and I have quite fair skin so I cannot imagine anyone seeing or benefiting from this "tinted" product.

Very Nice
Great Product, but very hard to wash off. You will need to double cleanse to remove completely. Nice slight coverage, and goes on well without pilling up. Would recommend to others.

Subtle Tint
I like this brand a lot. I’ve been using this tinted one now for a couple of weeks. I find that you really need to make sure your face is dry after moisturizing. Else, it pills very slightly. Otherwise on dry skin works great.

I like that the product is tinted but I like their SPF 30+ because it is a moisturizing facial sunscreen.

Good Sunscreen
This sunscreen is light and goes on easily. Wish the tint was a little more for coverage. You barely know it is there. It doesn’t feel drying or oily.

Makes my skin look great
This product helped keep my face from getting a sunburn during a week at the beach! My skin feels smoother and looks clearer as well. I wish it was a little more moisturizing but it's oil-free so I assume that's why it doesn't feel super creamy when I apply it.

4.5 stars if I could!
I was finding myself with too much sun after a few weeks of every-morning quarantine walks/runs. My aesthetician recommended this over the lighter-weight formula Elta MD tinted suncscreen that I had been using because this version stays on better for workouts. I like this formula a lot. I think it's working well, too. The only 1/2 star that I'll take off is for the VERY slight paleness that it gives my skin after applying which the lighter-weight Elta MD doesn't do. I know that it's from the physical sunscreen included, but I want to call it out for darker-skinned people who might find it impacts their skin tone more than they want in a tinted sunscreen. See if you can get a sample. I'm a medium/fair skinned Caucasian 43-year old woman and the residual paleness is barely an issue. I'll buy this again.

Excellent Sunscreen
Goes on so easily with no white cast. Looks good under makeup as well. Keeps my skin very protected. The only think I wish were better is the color of the tint. Its a little taup-ey on me as opposed to a light golden brown tint. I have pale white skin naturally and it appears to wash me out a bit. Other than that, I would buy it again or go with no tint as the product is wonderful.

I am always in the lookout of a good physical sunscreen, this is however a bit drying. I am acne prone and it has not given me major issues. This is my third time i repurchase it.

Been using for years
I've been using this sunscreen for years. I try others, but always come back to this one. I'm a low maintenance woman, and don't need foundation with this. It can be drying however, that's why I gave it 4 stars.
