Reviews For EltaMD UV Pure Broad Spectrum SPF 47 Face and Body Sunscreen
Excellent Non-chemical Sunscreen for Face and Body
I needed a Pure (No chemical) broad spectrum face and body sunscreen for daily use living in a sunny southern climate. This sunscreen fit the bill for daily use. It goes on white and absorbs but leaves a bit of a white finish immediately after application. It doesn't pill under makeup. I love that it is a safe sunscreen and that it can be used on face and body and works with or without makeup.

A little thick but no white cast
Overall I'm very happy with this sunscreen. It's a little thick going on but there is no white cast. I also think it would be good for oily skin types because it's not so shiny but yet it is not drying for my sensitive skin.

Great spf for the beach or working out
I use this for running outside or the occasional beach day. It does leave a white cast but I don’t mind for workouts. Stays out and doesn’t irritate my skin.

Very effective but a bit white on the face
I'm fair and need protection after 70 years of living at the seashore during summer months. My dermatologist highly recommends Elta MD products. Typically, I use the SPF 40 face sunscreen, occasionally the 45. Both are easily absorbed. This 47 is for face and body and is a bit sticky. The zinc oxide does show slightly. Removing it from my face required a good cleanser, followed by a clarifying lotion. I do recommend for those who need excellent sun protection.

Sunscreen recommended by my dermatologist
This sunscreen does an excellent job of blocking the sun. It does leave a slight white cast on my face. For biking, tennis, hiking, etc. The white cast is worth the protection. For other situations I will use the tinted version.

Nice but a little white cast
This feels very smooth on the skin but it does leave a slight white cast (I’m Asian). It’s not so bad after waiting a few min and putting on makeup after.

Great sunscreen
Elta makes really great sunscreens. I like the Elta Pure because it fills in my pores and is a great base for my foundation. Use it daily, very moisturizing.

Gets the job done
I purchased this sunscreen because I am pregnant and physical sunscreen is safer than chemical sunscreen. This sunscreen leaves a white finish on your skin and can be hard to get off after your time outside.

Pretty good
I like that this sunscreen doesn't have any smell. Doesn't irritate or dry out my skin. The only thing I don't like is that it does leave a white cast.

Very good sunsreen
Since I have sensitive, rosacea prone skin, and swim, I needed a water resistant one, that was kind to my face. It does not make me break out, and actually feels soothing on my skin. Since it is white, you do have to rub it in, which is not great for rosacea, but my skin settles down, and unlike some other reviews stated, it doesn't leave a white cast. I have started swimming in the evening now, but still use this sunscreen every day. LovelySkin also does a really nice job with packaging.

Pretty good!
A little tough to rub in, my other EltaMD’s are definitely better on that front. But overall a good product!

Great stuff for fair skinned people
I have very fair skin (everyone in my family does). Need a strong sunblock to keep my beautiful skin nice and fair and White. This does it. Not smelly, not sticky, not heavy, and you get a lot of use out of it.

Nice sunblock for my baby
Bought this Bc someone recommended it for sensitive skin! Has a white sheen but I don’t mind. Smooth texture.

Still makes skin white
I thought this would be transparent sunscreen but it still makes my skin white. I think I’ll stick with the tinted version!

Daily sunscreen for body
As an active person, I wanted a sunscreen that was waterproof/sweatproof. I prefer to use this on my body only as it does leave a slight white cast on my face. If worn under makeup, its not a big deal.

Best for pale body skin
I won't use on my face but ideal for body. I use it on my arms where I'm desperately trying to avoid sunspots. I began with using way too much. A little goes a long way.

Elta MD UV Broad-Spectrum rocks
FIrst time using this product and I really like it. It goes on smooth without much fuss. Coverup is great, does not smear considering i'm in a very hot and humid area of the country.

Good product
This sunscreen has no toxic ingredients for either you or nature. The only reason it did not get 5 stars is because it does leave a white tint and is hard to get off even when showering.

Very nice product. Just make sure you massage it in really well so it doesn’t leave a white cast.
