Reviews For EltaMD UV Clear Broad Spectrum SPF 46 Facial Sunscreen (Tinted and Untinted)
Wish it worked for my skin!
I bought this sunscreen based on all the great reviews as I am very careful on what I use on my acne prone skin. Unfortunately this broke me out badly so I threw it away as this was the only new product I had introduced in my skincare routine. My hunt for the perfect sunscreen that won’t break me out continues.

Immediately Caused Breakouts
I bought this sunscreen because of the great reviews and the fact that it is formulated for acne prone skin. Unfortunately it caused breakouts within a day of application.

Too dry for my skin
Having practically no oil on my skin, this product created a dry, itchy reaction. I am going to look to see if you have a gel version. Also, I am unable to remove the sunblock and makeup with usual facial cleansers. Do you have a suggestion?

Disappointed
I have the untinted version of this sunscreen and loved it so much that I figured having a little bit of sheer coverage from the tint might also be a nice perk. For the first 2 weeks, I thought it was feeling nice, but I'm starting to break out in smaller CCs and also bigger cystic acne. This DOES NOT play well with other moisturizers or makeup. It also leaves this terrible sticky, chalky feeling on your face that gets worse throughout the day. Overall, pretty disappointed.

Not for me!
This product is the only product I have ever had to return to my favorite LovelySkin The tint is way to brown for my skin tone and it makes me face shiny.

Not for my skin!
I purchased this when I was diagnosed with rosacea because my derm said that I needed to use a physical blocker as opposed to a chemical one. I did loads of research and found that everyone seems to believe this is the holy grail of sunscreen so I was really excited to get the package in the mail. Unfortunately, after 2 uses my face broke out in a horrible rash. I'm super bummed out that it didn't work for me but am very grateful that LovelySkin allowed me to return the product.

Streaky
The lotion is too thin to cover your face evenly in the same shade. It streaks. The non tinted version is awesome but the tinted version is not worth your money

Leaves my face very shiny >_<
I bought this product based on the great reviews I saw and that it's specifically for people with Rosacea. Unfortunately, I am returning it as it leaves my skin very very shiny. Plus the tint is too dark for my light complexion. Really wanted to love it but it just doesn't work on me =(

Did Not Agree with My Skin
As an adult my skin is very fair, sensitive, and acne prone, and I was searching for a new sunscreen. I have heard very good reviews on the Clear Elta MD so thought to give it a try. I used the product for 2 days and my skin had a very bad reaction. My skin broke out more and turned very red. It was weird because the product did not sting when I applied it to my skin. It was only after a couple of hours that it turned very red and broke me out all over. Now, I'm using sulfur ointment to help calm down the redness and reduce the acne. It is unfortunate because I had hope for this product. I will have to return.

Lovely but...
Loved the sample. Beautiful finish, best natural glow of any "makeup" I've ever used. Bought the full size. A week later - cysts. I loved it so much I tried to convince myself they were due to something else for 2 months, but in the end, this caused horrific breakouts.

Disappointed
I purchased this product to completely cover up my entire face. I tested a patch on side of face and it did not completely give me sun protection..

Wanted to love it...
I am an avid user of sunscreens and based upon the reviews I thought this would be great. I have applied it in several different ways with and without moisturizer and with and without makeup. No matter what I do, the product pills on me. So disappointed and frustrated in the morning when makeup is my last step getting ready and I have to take it ALL off and start over. I have mostly oily skin and am pretty much allergic to nothing. Age is 50+.

I REALLY wanted to like this
Given so many positive reviews, I had high hopes for this sunscreen. Unfortunately, after using it only 2 days in a row I broke out all over my T zone.

Too Sticky, too expensive!!!
So disappointing. It leaves a bit of a shine on your skin. Until it soaks in, it is very sticky. I dont like it at all and I am a huge fan of all Elta MD products.

Terrible Packaging
I really like the sunscreen but the packaging is a complete failure. I recently bought 4 bottles for my family and out of the 4 only 1 pump worked. Since the bottle is a sealed container there is no way to get to the product short of cutting it in half.

Hope to help others w/ similar skin
Ive never reacted so badly to a product in my whole life. My skin is fairly sensitive, slight rosacea (most people just think my cheeks are a very light pink) light complexion, mostly dry but oily forehead, almost never a pimple and 41 yrs old. Used sunscreen one time and the next day my whole face was bright red, itchy, burning and hot to the touch. In addition my cheeks and sides of face were covered with pustules to the point that they were more of a rash. I had to put ice gel packs on my face all day as I had a public speaking commitment that evening. I also used a washcloth (and magnifying mirror) to gently break all pustules and lightly cleansed. By night it looked like a moderate sunburn but it took almost 2 wks to fully recover including flushing hot cheeks. Apparently I am allergic to this product, so hoping others will do a test before slathering it on!
