Just ok
I really wanted to like this product. I have been using this sunscreen daily for about a month. I have combination skin and after application this leaves my face looking shiny. Just not the right fit for me. I will not purchase again.

My fav with 1 Con
I so badly want to give this a 5 star review. I love everything about it- the gorgeous natural glow, the clean look, consistency, perfect tint, niacinamide…the list goes on. One major negative is the continuous pilling that occurs a few hours after applying. It’s awful, I can barely touch my skin & can feel the product pilling up. So sad.

A bit greasy
I’ve used a number of different tinted moisturizers (for less money as well), and this one was a bit greasy for my liking. I do like the tone it gave my skin though!

Had to search for better result
This was my first EltaMD product. i Loved the smooth application, but had to make sure i rubbed it in very good. There were white streaks against my hairline if not rubbed all the way in. remember to comb eyebrows after application if some sunscreen got on them. Living in Oklahoma it gets pretty heated so i easily sweat. The sweat kills the sunscreen so i had to order me some "sport" or "physical" sunscreen.

Good basic sunscreen
I used this previously and liked the 9% zinc, not happy with the other active sunscreen component as it is chemical. The zinc also helps with oil production.. I thought it was a good treatment for my skin type. I have had to fight stubborn hyperpigmentation for years and found to address that I need a sunblock with spf 50 and 18% zinc.

Does pill under makeup
I do like the coverage and feel of this sunscreen, but it pills terribly under makeup. I’ll be wearing this on my non makeup days.

Balls up!
Was so looking forward to this but it balled up on top of my usual skincare. I guess I may have to reconfigure skincare combos but disappointed!

Leaves white cast
I wouldn't buy this again because it does leave a white cast and doesnt blend well. Also it shows if you sweat at all.

EltaMD spf 46 facial sunscreen
I got the tinted version. It appeared watery and did not "sink in" to the skin like I would like. I will use but will not repurchase, as I’ve used a better similar product from another line

Great sunscreen but….
The lactic acid made my skin purge.

Doesn't layer well with other products
This doesn't seem to layer well with other products. If I have a serum or lotion on, and then I add the sunscreen, it pills up and I can't get it to work into the skin. It just sits on top or pills up.

Leaves an oily finish
My dermatologist recommended this to me. I want to like it. I can’t tell yet about its effectiveness as sun screen until I use it for a while longer. However, I don’t like the way it leaves an oily shiny finish, making it necessary to apply powder which defeats the purpose of a tinted sunscreen!

Broke me out
Sorry it broke me out. Titanium and zinc clogs my pores. 67 yrs old and it can still have breakouts. Usually use a none zinc sunscreen and makeup which works best for me.

Wish it worked better
I love the texture of this product, it goes on so light and absorbs quickly BUT when I used it before going out to work in the garden on a very hot day I had to reapply a couple times it didn't give me 100% protection (face and neck were pink at the end of the day). Still looking for a replacement for my chemical free sunscreen for sensitive skin that was discontinued.

Blemishes
I NEVER get blemishes and in 2 weeks of using this sunblock I’ve got 4! Having said that it’s really smooth to apply and disappears into your skin. However, I’ve had to quit using it. My daughter loves it and has had no issues, but she has very dry skin and mine is more normal to oily.

It's OK
I wish I could love this. My dermatologist recommended EltaMD and most dermatologists do, however it stings my face when I put it on and it will cause my skin to breakout. I have rosacea and I really had high hopes for this to work with my skin.

Elta sunscreen
Does not absorb completely and peels when you rub your skin following application or try to apply makeup on top of it.

Just okay
Initially it’s nice and smooth and gooey, but then it dries my skin out over time (I know mineral skins tend to do this, I just had high hopes!). All in all, I prefer the original as it dries me out less and looks great under makeup. I don’t burn with this however and I have sensitive skin with rosacea.
