**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.

First time

I’ve been applying a tretinon compound & am advised to wear sunblock. I like this sunscreen because it goes on easily; glides across my skin and doesn’t show any white residue. It also definitely blocks the sun’s rays. I will continue to purchase this; once my bottle is empty.

Easiest step in my routine.

This is a great product and a secret weapon. Everyone should have with its light coverage and tint it’s perfect to wear alone or as a base. When I wear this I get compliments on my skin and the best part is it’s protecting my skin all at once. I w been using for years and won’t stop! Won’t stop can’t stop.

Best face sunscreen I’ve found

I love this sunscreen as I feel it moisturizes and protects. It doesn’t burn my eyes and lasts a long time. I love to swim and be in the water and it lasts through all of my activities.

Elta MD UV Clear sunscreen

My skin is very sensitive, oily and prone to acne. I noticed that this product does not leave a white cast and doesn’t clog my pores. I don’t have breakouts. Controls oil and redness very well. Love it!!

Not bad but still searching

This cream is on the fence with me bc of the price, but for tinted SPF it’s great, so I’m torn. It’s a little too runny for my combination skin, so I save it mainly for when I just want a light *weekend* “no-makeup” look. For work/weekday “no-makeup” coverage, work it may be too sheer but is easily adjustable with contouring, blush etc. This a great tinted moisturizer that’s not oily and matches my skin with zero white cast. Half star off for the texture, half star off for price bc there are more affordable tinted moisturizers that achieve the same results.

Love the suncreen hate the pump

I really like eltaMD UV clear sunscreen. It goes on well and seems to protect me from adding dark spots to my skin, but the pump that dispenses it stoped working with more than 50% of the product left. Had to remove top to access which is a bit of a mess. Wish I could give 2 ratings 5 stars for sunscreen and 1 star for packaging, instead giving an average of 3 stars.

Great except for travel waste

This is my go-to sunscreen and I have used it for years. I'm used to using the pump. My one, expensive, complaint is that during airplane travel, the sunscreen blows into the plastic cap ( air pressure Issue?) and it's then wasted. This product is too expensive for such waste. I'm hoping they will improve the container or change to a tube to solve this issue.

Goes on smooth

The sunscreen is lightweight and goes on smooth. Wears well under foundation. I also use it without foundation as it gives my skin a subtle color.

Great Sunscreen

I have tried many different sunscreens over the years. Elta MD UV Clear is my favorite. It goes on smoothly in a white cream that is quickly absorbed into your skin, but gives you enough time a to make sure that you have covered your face completely. It is light and not greasy, offering great protection.

Excellent sunscreen

I purchased Elta MD sunscreen after enjoying a sample. This sunscreen protects without any irritation. It is non-greasy or tacky and leaves your face feeling soft. I spend a lot of time outdoor gardening or golfing and am very pleased with this product.

Elta MD skincare SPF

I have been using it for about a month now, and it works great. Does not pill under makeup. The only flaw is that if I go all day without wearing any makeup, I apply it a couple of times throughout the day, and it does dry me out a bit, but I wouldn't say that is a reason to stop using it. I just soak my skin with some hydrating products later in the evening :)
