**Due to supply chain challenges, and to avoid any potential out-of-stock this product may have a frosted clear overcap without the silver band as a temporary option.

EltaMD intentionally overfills items with airless pumps in anticipation that a small amount may leak in transit, especially in hot weather and/or during air travel. They do this in order to make sure that the entire amount of product is in the jar, even if a small amount leaks. For this reason, these items actually contain slightly more product than advertised before they are shipped to ensure the customer still receives an item with the appropriate amount of product.

This product is packaged with an airless pump dispenser, which uses a vacuum system to dispense the product. Please see this product's directions for further information on airless pumps.

The Skin Cancer Foundation recommends this product as an effective aid in the prevention of sun-induced damage to the skin, including sunburn and possibly premature aging. When used regularly in the prescribed manner, this product may also help reduce the potential risk of skin cancer due to overexposure to sunlight.

Great sunscreen for the face

It works as a sunscreen. It does pull up when when I try to apply makeup over it, but I find almost all sunscreens do. It goes on fairly cleanly ( only a little white) and absorbs well. I have been using this for a few years and I don't plan to change unless the newly FDA approved sunscreen comes out for face and then hopefully Elta MD will add it to their line.

Great mineral sunscreen for face

This is the best mineral sunscreen I have tried so far for my face…I do not like mineral sunscreens generally but am trying to use as recommended by the “experts”…. This one goes in very well, does not feel heavy on face… no white caste.. so all good..

Best ever mineral sunscreen for my 70s y.o. blemish-prone skin!

I have tried many mineral sunscreens in the last few years. This EltaMD UV Clear Broad Spectrum SPF 46 Facial Sunscreen Clear has been the best so far!! I'm really pleased that it hasn't caused any blemishes! It blends in smoothly leaving no white on my face with no after texture! In addition, the product was mailed quickly in wonderful packaging!

The only spy I prefer on my face.

I have used this for over a decade, I guess? The extra antioxidants of Niiacinamide and others help calm the skin, the skin takes on a shine & is pretty on its own, without makeup.

Elta MD Sunscreen has saved my face!

I am 68 years old, live in a sunny, coastal climate, and walk about 3 miles a day for exercise. I apply the Elta sunscreen every morning before my walk, have been doing this for years, and have Elta to thank for protecting my skin from harmful rays and the wrinkle ravages that sun causes. It isn’t heavy or greasy, but makes my skin feel soft and protected. I highly recommend this product!

Great Sunscreen

I always wear sunscreen, whether I'm inside or outside. I tend to switch between the Elta MD 46 and the Elta MD 50. I like an untinted sunscreen & it's very important to apply daily early in the morning. I'm still missing the Obagi Sport Sunscreen that had a white tint, that tint seemed to enhance what little makeup I wear, crazy....I know! But the Elta MD sunscreen works great. When the Elta MD first came out it used to cause my skin to breakout so they've changed something in the formula. I'm so glad I tried it again!

My everyday sunscreen

I have been using the sunscreen for years and have not found anything else that works better for me! It goes on evenly and blends in seamlessly with my skin to create a nice base layer for makeup, or even just on its own.

Acne Protection failed

Despite the product claim of calming and protecting skin prone to acne and rosacea, the area around my nose and forehead broke out within 2 days of using the elta MD UV tinted face cream. The texture and application are ideal, thus 2 stars, but I looked like a teenager with the acne lesions caused by the product.

A Summer must have!

The ingredients work for me with rosacea. At the age of 77, I have used this product for years as it was recommended to me by a dermatologist. It helps to calm my skin and keeps it well hydrated all day. Plus, during the summer there is no need to other makeup because it is tinted. Nice.

A Favorite Sunscreen

This is my current favorite Elta MD sunscreen. It applies evenly, leaving no cast. It works very well if you want to layer a foundation or tinted sunscreen over it.

MVP SPF

An SPF recommendation from one of my favorite estheticians back when I had very troubling acne. Now I'm older and focusing on combating aging and dry skin. This sunscreen has held up through it all. Big fan of the fast absorption, light texture, and high protection.
