**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.

This is the absolute best mineral sunscreen for dry, sensitive skin! It is incredibly lightweight, deeply hydrating, and leaves a beautiful, natural finish with zero heavy white cast. It melts transparently into the skin and layers beautifully under makeup without any greasy residue or pilling. It is so gentle and worth every penny!

I know this brand is very popular, but it wasn't a favorite. I have facial eczema and this cream being a little thicker, requires me to rub it in, which can exacerbate my skin condition. I prefer a product that has more slip. With that being said, if someone doesn't have eczema, this product might be a good choice. It does a fine job of preventing sunburn and prevents very good moisture as well.

Finally, a strictly mineral sunscreen with no white cast! I use it on my neck and chest, as I use a tinted sunscreen on my face. It has a liquid consistency that goes on smoothly and is not shiny. I like that it is transparent on my skin. I will stick with this product.

Love this sunscreen! It doesn’t leave a white cast and doesn’t really have a sunscreen smell. Feels very light weight. I use this for my daily sunscreen. Definitely recommend!

I really like the natural look when I use sunscreen. I don’t make up so I just want to use a sunscreen with natural look like this. I bought 4 bottles of this sunscreen, it is the best sunscreen with me.

Elta MD is my go to for facial sunscreen as it absorbs well allowing me to put make up on over it and provides great protection. I was using the tinted version but found that the tint looked a bit orange on my skin. Also, my dermatologist recommends Elta MD as it does not clog pores or cause breakouts.

Over the last few years my elderly skin has developed the flushing type of rosacea - so annoying... After trying more brands than I can imagine and finding none comfortable to wear consistently as well as being invisible, I've finally found my go-to one and only. Hooray! EltaMD UV Skin recovery goes on lightly and smoothly making it easy to use. It doesn't pill with my moisturizer and does a good job. It's soothing to the skin and I love that it's mineral only - even with multiple applications throughout the day it's non-comedogenic and washes off easily when cleansing at night. For me, it's a dream product.

First time using a mineral sunscreen and it is just beautiful on my sensitive skin. No white mineral, lightweight and not greasy. I will definitely purchase it again.

This is my new holy grail sunscreen. I’ve tried this brand in the past but it didn’t work for my skin. This new formulation is awesome - barely any white cast, doesn’t burn my eyes, and makes my skin look hydrated. I will never run out of this sunscreen!

I've always easily burned being fair. But having had facial surgery several years ago increase my skin's sensitive to most products of any type. I scrupulously read all ingredients on the labels! EltaMD Skin Recovery products help shield my skin from the harmful sun rays. I trust EltaMD and use it daily along with a hat!

So far this is the only facial/mineral sunscreen that I can tolerate. Does not feel heavy on your skin… goes in well… no whiteness. Good option but still exploring for one at lower price point.

I love this sunscreen. It is very rich and thick. I have dry skin so that doesn’t bother me. If I apply moisturizer and follow with this sunscreen, I use a smaller amount so it won’t pill. This is my favorite sunscreen.

It's by far the best non-tinted facial sunscreen I have ever used. Hard to believe it is 100% mineral based. Goes on smooth and easy with no odor and virtually invisible.

I’ve been using for about a month no reactions and no white cast on my face. I have tried everything finally just asked LovelySkin for a recommendation and this one is working for me. I’m 70 developed allergies to all the sunscreen ingredients that begin with an “o” so mineral is the only option but most leave a ghostly white cast on my face, I use a tinted moisturizer that has no spf. This one doesn’t unless I put too much on. It doesn’t feel or look too drying. So far so good.

Loving this and have used two bottles now! Goes on very nicely, smooth and not thick with no white cast. (Note I am fair skinned) I also find it moisturizing! The texture to me is similar to the UV Clear but with all mineral filters. Another win from Elta MD!

Wearing it alone blends right into my skin. But when I have my rosacea cream under I get a white cast. Doesn’t irritate.
