**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.

I have skin prone to breakouts, and this sunscreen is lightweight and doesn't cause any issues. I've been using this for many years and will continue to use it.

The best SPF I have used. Others I try typically pill on my face. Not sure if it was due to the way it would mix with my products on my face BUT this one does not do that no matter what serums I use. Overall it is very light and hydrating. The tint is perfect. If you don't like heavy moisturizers/SPF you will love this.

My second purchase of this softly tinted sunscreen formula. It is sheer and gives a soft glow before applying foundation or just bare skin.

I just love this medium tinted sunscreen. It glides on smoothly and dries quickly without drying my skin. It gives a nice glow, not greasy-looking, just smooth looking.

I really like this sunscreen. A little goes a long way and it doesn’t pill or leave a white cast on your face.

It's great under makeup. No funny smell. Absorbs quickly and easily without stickiness. It does not feel oily. No white cast. It calms and doesn't irritate my sensitive, reactive skin. It does not cause me or my teenager to breakout. With my combination-normal skin, I use it with a light moisturizer. It's always the last step of my morning skin care routine, and I keep purchasing more!

This sunscreen is awesome. I love the tint. I do pair it with an Elta moisturizer because I am in my 70s and it's not enough moisture for me.

I really like the texture of Elta MD's UV Clear SPF Sunscreen! It's smooth, not greasy, not sticky. It blends in well. It smells good. And it's not white or thick. I use it on my face and my neck and décolleté. I even have my partner using it too!

Since I have had skin cancer removed on multiple occasions my derm suggested I use Elta MD to protect my face from the sun. I have oily skin and was concerned about break out. No problem at all!!! It’s non-greasy and has protected me from sun burn, although I spend hours gardening in the summer.

Goes on like lotion, but works incredibly well to cover and protect. Soaks in with no residue.

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.

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.

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.

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!!

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.
