Reviews For EltaMD UV Clear Broad Spectrum SPF 46 Facial Sunscreen
Filtered by: Clear Filters
Recommended by name by my dermatologist
I started buying this product from my dermatologist, but its more convenient and less expensive to buy it from LovelySkin. Ive had two fractional CO2 laser resurfacing treatments and my plastic surgeon insisted on knowing what brand of sunscreen I would be using after the treatment, as my skin would be left unable to protect itself after the treatment. He was pleased that I was using this product and told me to continue using it daily, rain or shine, for the rest of my life. I have fair, sensitive skin and this doesnt burn or go on sticky. It doesnt look like Im wearing sunscreen and I use it as my AM moisturizer for most of the year and add a moisturizer on top of the EltaMD, when my skin feels extra dry. I buy 2 when they go on sale, since I cant be without it.

Best sunscreen
I have tried many different facial sunscreens. Most leave a white tint and a sticky residue. Not this one! Its texture is more like a beauty treatment. Hydrates the skin wonderfully and leave no white tint. I highly recommend it!

good job but not a substitute for base
I have sensitive skin and find this product to be reasonable gentle and very easy to apply. While it is tinted does not cover imperfections in the skin or leave a bit of color. However, it does not leave a white film like other sun screens. Nice product a little more gentle on sensitive skin than other brands.

Great daily protection!
If youre looking for a great sunscreen that also lightly moisturizes your skin, youre looking at a FANTASTIC product. Use this with confidence knowing your skin is being protected and look beautiful knowing your skin is glowing! Love this product! Very absorbent and never feels greasy. Due to my mature skin, my skin is becoming more dry. I use it alone without makeup. I cant be pleased enough with the perfect hydration it brings to my skin. If youre looking for a good well balanced sunscreen with light hydration, you owe it to yourself to try EltaMD UV Clear Broad-Spectrum SPF 46 Sunscreen. Your face will thank you for it!

Good for sensitive
My dermatologist recommended this product because I have highly sensitive skin. Ive been using it for two years and havent had any former skin issues. This sunscreen does make your face look shiny if you dont cover it with foundation or face powder.

Tinted sunscreen
Have only used once and found that it went on easily and the tint was no problem. Will be using more on my trip this week and can then give a better review.

Went on easily
and seems smooth. Tint worked fine for me. I just got this product so have only used a few times. Will use more on my trip this week and can give better review then.

Love & Hate Relationship
My quest for the perfect sunscreen began early this year when i started using Vit C/Retinol products. I started off with mineral sunscreens but they gave me the geisha look. Even the tinted ones were not deep enough and still showed up on my skin. Then, i found this one, mineral + chemical combo. I have an oily, acne-prone, acne scars, brown skin. I have used this ss for about 6 months now. Positives include it is light, works well under make-up & does not make me break-out. Negatives include it pills if you rub it too hard (you have to lightly apply it and apply fast too). A big negative for me is that it still gives a white sheen on my skin. Even though the ss says Clear, it is not really clear on brown skin if you apply liberally as you should. So, I always have to apply make-up when wearing it for work. I have resigned myself to the fact that as long as the zinc is present, it will show on my skin. On the weekends, i use another sunscreen. If the white sheen factor was not present, this would end my search for my HG sunscreen!

Great Sunscreen Line
EltaMD is a great sunscreen line, their sunscreens are light weight. My bottle lasted pretty long and overall was really satisfied with the sunscreen. As someone who is acne prone and oily, I am usually so afraid to try new sunscreens but when I read that this sunscreen was specifically formulated for those with my skin type I decided to give it a try. I must say I was not disappointed.

Great light sunscreen for fall and winter
Easy to apply, feels great on the skin and does not make you appear white. Not water resistant so not good for any time you may be sweating, also Zinc Oxide is not the best full UVA blocker so would use something stronger for all day in the sun but perfect for the to and from work exposure.

Elta MD UV Clear Broad Spectrum Transparent SPF 46 Sunscreen
I just started using this particular EltaMD suncreen, but have used many of their other products for several years. I ordered this one for my daughter, who is acne prone, so it is an excellent alternative for teens who want to protect their face from the harsh effects of the sun, while also keeping the skin clear of blemishes. It is every effective for my daughter, and I also use it and alternate with my other EltaMD products. This product line is absolutely outstanding, and I highly recommend it. It is the best sunscreen line out there in my opinion, and I wouldnt use anything else. Once you try this line you are hooked.

A must have!
This untainted one is a fantastic sunscreen, but this one with tint is perfect, the color is not to light or to dark, looks very natural while evening out my skin tone. Does not break me out at all! This is one of my fave products!

Great sunscreen
This is a great product! I have very fair skin, and I use this product every day. The sunscreen goes on easily and doesnt streak or feel sticky, and the pump dispenser is easy to use.

B.E.S.T. SUNSCREEN EVER!
Ive used this sunscreen after laser work and on the advice of that physician and another dermatologist. It remains my favorite facial sunscreen. Its so easy to use, you never feel like theres a mask on your face and your make-up easily goes right on top of it. I have a very simple routine in the morning: Brush my teeth, put on my EltaMD and eye cream and go! EltaMD, youre the best!

I have tried a variety of sunscreens and most of them are too white or are too shiny. This one by EltaMD has the right balance of effectiveness with the least shininess.

Tint color doesnt apply evenly
Have tried samples of this and always liked it, however the bottle I just ordered goes on very patchy with the tinted color. Its not overly noticeable inside with poor lighting- I noticed it when I was outside in the sun- my skin was splotchy with the color. Very disappointed. Otherwise I really like the product. Just dont buy the tinted version.

Best facial sunscreen available!
The best sunscreen is one which you will use everyday and I use this sunscreen on myself and my two children everyday! I have hyper-pigmentation on my face and have undergone expensive and painful laser procedures to try to lighten the dark patches of skin. I use this sunscreen everyday to help keep the dark patches from returning/ getting darker. I put this sunscreen on my childrens faces (ages 6 and 10) every morning before school to protect their skin during outdoor recesses. This sunscreen is the first one that my children havent complained about because it isnt greasy, smelly, doesnt make their skin shiny and doesnt leave white patches or streaks.

GREAT STUFF
I tried my free sample of the EltaMD sunscreen and I gotta say I love this stuff! I dont know if its better than the SkinCeuticals UV Fusion sunscreen though, Ive been using that stuff for the past 6 months now, but EltaMD does feel great. Does not feel greasy at all and its great under makeup. I may possibly order some after I use up my other sunscreen!
