Moisturizing Protection

I use this sunscreen because it’s so moisturizing. Many mineral sunscreens are too drying for me but after applying this one, I can then put some mineral over it. Or sometime I mix them in my hand before applying. This one works for me.

My go to. Fast and efficient!

I have tried several mineral sunscreens and this one has been consistently working well for me. I know this is a hybrid, so to be clear it is not 100% mineral. Having said that, I can consistently use it as both moisturizing and sunscreen at once and my skin looks well. No white cast whatsoever! Even my boyfriend use it and is very happy with it. He tells me that during his long bike ride it does not drip down his face.

Seems to work

I ordered this by mistake. I can't use Petrolatum products or "cones" on my face. I'm surprised that a premium line would use petrolatum products. I use it on my body instead and it seems to work good - too greasy for my face.

Calming, Luminous Coverage for Glowing Skin

I have used this product for several years now. I bought it to replace a discontinued SPF I'd used before that. My goal was to get an emollient, hyaluronic and nutrient rich product that gave me great coverage and made my skin glow. This fit the bill. The reason I gave it 4 stars is because its not a great product to have on when working out or being out in the sun too long. It will drip and run and wont cover or block rays 100%. If you are predominantly inside and not getting sweaty in the sun its ok, but coverage wise I've had better. If left on after a workout this product can produce milia, which are little pearls of congestion in the pore. I still like and use this because of the beautiful coverage it gives, but realize that if I'm wanting flawless coverage from the sun I need a better option. Elta does have quite a lot of products to choose from. I just always look for the moisturizing w hyaluronic acid because it tends to give that supermodel glow.

Love

I just love this product. It’s very light weight on the skin. Doesn’t leave a white mark and drys very fast. Feels very smooth on the skin. Definitely recommend.

Disappointed

I think that the formula has been changed. The product felt like it didn’t soak into your skin very good and left a white film. Will be sending back and ordering a different sunscreen.

Great Sunblock

I have used this sunblock for many years. It goes on easily and is virtually transparent I have never had a sunburn when using the product even though I am fairly pale skinned.

EltaMD UV facial SPF 35 sunscreen

This creamy sunscreen is wonderful! It has Vitamin E and transparent zinc oxide to protect against UVA and UVB rays. It’s lightweight and soaks in with no white reside. Perfect to wear under make-up. My skin is very sensitive and I’ve tried numerous sunscreens for my face. This one is the best!

Excellent product

My dermatologist recommended this and uses it after several procedures. I use it daily. It goes in well and protects my face and neck from the sun. I can usually get it for a slightly lower price here than elsewhere. Win-win

It's fine

It's very creamy. However, I like the other ELtaMD sunscreen that contains niacinamide better.

Go-to sunscreen

A staple. It goes on smoothly, but covers well (not white). Works great under tinted sunscreen makeup for double the protection. Great product.

Repeat Buyer!

My Nurse Esthetician recommended the Elta Sunscreen to me. It feels nice and creamy going on and absorbs well. I am able to layer foundation over it easily. Having had several skin cancers in the past I like knowing I am helping to protect my skin from sunburn damage. Both my husband and daughter also now use it

My Favorite

After trying various products that felt drying on my skin, this Elta MD moisturizing facial sunscreen is the best for me. It is both a sunscreen and moisturizer which is exactly what I need.
