Reviews For EltaMD UV Clear Broad Spectrum SPF 46 Facial Sunscreen (Tinted and Untinted)
Fairly Good sunscreen
This seems to do the job. I just feel like Elta wants you to put a lot on your skin. If you follow what they recommend you’re supposed to use the barrier renewal, am lotion and then the sunscreen. It can be hard to apply makeup afterwards. I’ve noticed in the summer months especially July my skin can have an oily shine to it.

Ok sunscreen
Effective sunscreen, just wish it wasn't so oily and the only downfall is that it pills way too much. Don't recommend wearing under makeup.

Not as good as regular version
This tinted formulation does not sit as evenly, or absorb as well, as the non-tinted version.

Good product but makes me dry
It goes on nicely & clears up after about 3min but it makes my skin feel & look dry. My skin sometimes peels & has ashy spots after wearing for a while. This sucks b/c I really want to love this product b/c I feel it is a very good product. I just wish I didn’t look & feel dry after putting it on. And I put it on after cleansing, serums, & moisturizer. Oh & don’t get it on your hair, it’s kind of hard to rub out.

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.

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.

Small container.
Expensive. Would I buy it again? No.

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.
