Great formula but it has a white cast
I usually buy the tinted version and made the mistake of buying the regular version. I thought the sunblock would go on clear. The formula lightens my face in an unnatural way and leaves a white cast (I have a light tan). This bottle of sunblock will be sitting in my drawer unused, unfortunately.

Works but not for me
I like that this product goes on nicely and is not thick and gooey like some others I have tried. It also soaks right in and does not leave any white area or color. However I do not think I can use it. It causes me to have small pimples every time I use it. May be because I have large pores and sensitive skin. I will keep looking for a product that works.

Works.....but made skin slimy feeling.
Went on easy. Protected from sun. Made my clean face feel slimy for hours.

Stings a bit, great/even coverage though
Like to use thins primarily under my eyes and on my cheeks as I use it as a pseudo concealer. I use the untinted version all over the rest of my face. This one stings and doesn’t dry me out. So I don’t mind it completely. I know my skin is sensitive to higher spfs. Overall would recommend despite the stinging. Melts into skin and isn’t greasy.

EltaMD
A little confused by this product. Was really excited about all the amazing reviews and had to try it! From what I can tell it did nothing. Love the prices of this brand but unfortunately I didn’t see or get the results others were claiming. If you just need a sunscreen though and nothing else...then this works great for that and has a good texture.

Not bad
I wasn't totally disappointed, but I did find another sunscreen after this one that I loved better. I use this as a back-up sunscreen to the preferred one I use.

A bit too warm for my fair complexion
I found this product to be very hydrating without leaving any oily residue on my skin--although the consistency worked for me, the tint wasn't ideal for me. I have a very fair more neutral/cool complexion, and I found this tint to be a bit too yellow-y for me. It was pretty sheer so I was able to use up the bottle and just layered my own makeup on top of it, but I wouldn't repurchase.

Oily, greasy, made my face feel hot
So, I used to really like this product. It left a satin finish on my skin. But now, it makes my face look greasy and there is absolutely no satin finish. I could handle that if it didn't make my rosacea flare. My face always feel hot when using this. I do not think it's a bad product. Everyone has different reactions. But it doesn't work for me anymore

I really like it but I don't know if it is for my type of skin
I put this product after my skin care routine it irritates my skin and make its even dryer. Apart from that I love the texture, it does not leave white sunblock spots and it does not have any smell either.

Okay.
I like this sunscreen however it can leave a residue or kind of “peel” off when I used it with my other products. I’m not a huge fan of it for that reason. I also generally have lotion/makeup on with SPF so I felt like this was kind of a waste of my money.

Good but drying
It started off fine--smooth, comfortable, a little hard to blend and I had to work at getting all the white cast rubbed in, but after a while I noticed that the skin on my face was becoming very dehydrated. I added other moisturizers, a hydrating cleanser, and a hyaluronic acid serum to my routine to try to fight the dehydration but nothing worked, and by the end I was tight, flaky, and peeling around my mouth and chin. As soon as I stopped using this sunscreen the issue was gone. I don't know what it is about it, but it's unusable for me. Maybe it was some kind of weird allergic reaction. I have sensitive combination skin, so now I'm back on the hunt for something that works for me.

ELTA UV CLEAR UNTINTED
Unfortunately, I usually used the tinted but was told from other reviews that it does not leave a white cast on the skin, but in my opinion it does. I bought TWO but wished I purchased only one. It still is an excellent product, just wish it was tinted. Thank you

Good protection but DRYING
I couldn't figure out how my face turned flaky after a 4th of July weekend of consistent use in hot humid weather. This was the only change to my skin care routine. I have oily acne prone skin. It protects well from the sun and doesn't seem to clog my pores but I found it to be too drying!

Tint is much too dark
I really enjoyed the feeling but sadly the tint is just too dark for my skin tone, and I’m pretty tan. I may purchase untainted in the future.

Slightly drying
This is a little drying for me. I use it but feel like I do end up getting some clogged pores whenever I use it. I do not burn and the SPF result is good.

Works but lightens skin tone
I prefer the Daily Tinted but use this when I have active pimples. Even though this is tan tinted the active ingredient slightly whitens the skin so my I’ve complexion is lost.

On the fence on this one
The pros- As a sunscreen this works great. Goes on nice and doesn’t feel heavy as some do. The cons- It turns my face a reddish color, sort of like a slight sunburn.

Wish it was more matte.
I have very oily skin and would like a daily sunscreen that doesn't increase my shine factor. While I love the feel of how this goes on, it leaves a very dewy glow that I just do not like to have. I'm sure if you have normal skin or wear make up over it that the shine wouldn't be an issue, but I prefer to not wear much face make up as it generally becomes a mess from my oily skin. Love Elta products, which is why I gave it three stars, but this just isn't a great one for me.

EltaMD Tinted
The color didn’t blend well into my skin. I wish I only purchased the clear. Should have returned.
