Reviews For EltaMD UV Clear Broad Spectrum SPF 46 Facial Sunscreen (Tinted and Untinted)
Great Sunscreen Bad Color for Me
You cannot go wrong with Elta MD Sunscreen for efficacy and gentleness however, the tint was way too dark for my very fair skin.

Just OK
This stuff is so hyped, meh. It's not horrible on my sensitive skin but it's not fabulous it's just OK. I have to use an ultra sheer moisturizer underneath, anything heavier I'll break out. Still can cause some rash on me and breakout if I wear it with makeup . Have to do over ultralight moisturizer and then be sure to use my reservatol at night to avoid irritation. It's certainly not a bad choice. But it isn't amazing

Didn't Work For Me
I love that this sunscreen didn't cause me acne, but the color just didn't work for my skin tone. It was too orange for my fair skin.

Too much hype
A lot of good PR and hype around this sunscreen. You may love it, and I hope you do, because finding a beloved sunscreen that you willingly reach for daily can be a years-long endeavor. I personally didn’t love the feeling of this or the way it worked beneath makeup. I much prefer a different product for my skin and preferences.

Just right
I was expecting a lot from this sunscreen because a lot of people on social media recommended it. It has some pleasant cooling sensation on the face and makes the skin feel good. But when applied it scrubs easily and is a bit sticky. It also rubs mud on my face once I take it off when I wear a mask. This is something that annoys me. And it is a combination of mineral and chemical sunscreen, I prefer mineral sunscreen which is friendly to sensitive skin. It was a little uncomfortable on my face at first, I don't know if some of the ingredients didn't suit me. At that time, my face would turn red, now this rarely happens. I hope lovelyskin can recommend more sunscreens for sensitive skin!

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.
