Reviews For EltaMD UV Clear Broad Spectrum SPF 46 Facial Sunscreen
Elta MD UV Cleart Broad-Spectrum SPF46 Sunscreen untinted
One of the best sunblocks I have ever used. Great for oily skin. Doesn't make me breakout. Feels light and non greasy. Great for southern beach sun exposure too.

No white face
This is a great sunscreen brand. I like this but wish it were a tad bit more moisturizing. It's a good size to carry in my gym bag. And you won't look like a ghost.

Good sunscreen
Texture is nice. Not greasy. It absorbs well and the tint is a plus. You do not get the ghostly look. However the color was a tad bit too dark for my skin tone, so I mixed it with the same suncreen's untinted version before I applied it.

Great for oily skin
I have been trying to find spf 30+ products for a few years that are light and do not add shine to my already oily skin. This is the first product I've found that really fits the bill. I do actually think it does something for the redness as advertised and creates a nice smooth finish for wearing under makeup. NOTE: you should let it sit and dry to attain a more matte finish.

EltaMD UV Clear Broad-Spectrum SPF 46 Sunscreen - Tinted
This is a great product, and I use it every day on my face and neck. I don't need to wear makeup because this gives me a little color. I prefer it to the untinted one that I used previously.

nice product
happy to have found a sunscreen that goes on with a smooth finish and dries without leaving a shiny or sticky residue so you can easily put it under your makeup. i tried the tinted version and it goes on very sheer so as to not deposit too much color on the face. if you are looking for a tinted sunscreen that provides more coverage (color wise), this might not be the one for you...but for me i love the feel of it on my face when i don't want to use foundation.

Great product!
One of my favorite sunscreens! Left a matte finish and did not feel oily. It absorbs well and I didn't get burnt. I would highly recommend this product.

So far, so good!
I have suffered with acne since I was a teenager, and, along with adult acne, I was "lucky" enough to develop melasma as well. I've had laser treatment to help with my melasma, but was told I would have to wear sunscreen daily ... Really?! The only thing I knew sunscreen would do is cause more and more acne breakouts! A friend introduced to me EltaMD products, told me she loved them, and that I should try them out. Well, I've used this product for about 2 full weeks now and have not had any trouble with acne breakouts! My skin actually feels great, doesn't look oily, and I also feel good knowing I'm protecting my skin from any more sun damage all with one product!! Thank you EltaMD for thinking of those of us with very sensitive skin!!

So far, quite good
I've only been using this for a week so far, so I can't speak to its long-term effect on acne compared with other sunscreens, but I like using the product. One pump seems to be the perfect amount to cover my face. The tint matches my skin just fine no major coverage, but looks smoother than bare skin. I wish it dried a little more matte, but it's not bad. I like that it contains lactic acid and niacinamide. It spreads easily, and has no discernable odor. I sometimes add bronzer, blush, luminizer, or finishing powder over it, and it doesn't affect any of those, as far as I can tell. I haven't put any other cream or liquid foundations over it. I would try other EltaMD products, seems like a good brand.

Great if you have acne or rosacea
I've used this product for years with no problems. However, after using a new retinol product, that made my skin peel a little, I had to temporarily stop using it because it made my skin sting and turn red. Not sure why, maybe the 5% Niacinamide. I went back to using it after a few weeks, with no problems.

Very good product
This is great for the summer, but can sometimes be a tad drying. Overall its still one of the best sunscreens to put on under makeup!

Another Good SPF from Elta MD
This product is recommended in my dermatologist office. I have used the untinted for many years with great success. At first I did not like the tinted. It seemed dark and my complexion is light. I decided to give the tinted a second try. So far it has worked out well. The color very subtly evens out red but does not cover acne or dark circles. It does give a healthy wash of color. I think I will continue to use it, same great formula as the untinted. It would be great if they offer a third shade option at some point.

I like it, but its not perfect
The texture feels light. While it does not seem to add moisture, it doesnt dry my skin, either. It does not sting my eyes. I like that it has a high percentage of zinc oxide, though if I look carefully, a faint tinge of white is evident on my medium skin. My main complaint is that I cannot layer it over SkinMedica C+E serum. Ive experimented with varying amounts and dry-times of the serum, but I think the ingredients (probably the silicones) just dont meld well and instead create particles on my face that are not easily brushed away. On clean, bare skin, I do like this product.

Beautiful finish with no irritation or breakouts
Ive been using the EltaMD UV Clear sunscreen for the past few years and will continue to repurchase. I have very sensitive skin with rosacea and this sunscreen has never caused irritation or breakouts. I was initially drawn to it because it contains a good amount of niacinamide, an ingredient I was interested in for its ability to even skin tone and lighten pigmentation. This is a sunscreen I use on days where I have incidental exposure to sun, not for a day at the beach. I use sunscreens with a higher level of protection for days in the sun. A major plus for the UV Clear, aside from amazingly never causing a single breakout or spot, is the finish it leaves on my skin. I know the product is described as matte, but I get a more natural look that I would consider almost luminous. Dont be scared! Its no highlighter and there are no glittery particles. I just know I look more "alive" with the soft finish it provides. In the summer I can use this with nothing underneath but in cooler months it is crucial that I wear a moisturizer. That said, I do not believe UV Clear is a drying formula, it is just not especially moisturizing. I would prefer to moisturize underneath when needed anyway. If you have sensitive skin and are not irritated by niacinamide, this product is definitely worth checking out.

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.

Love it!
I recieved this as a sample and i love the lightweightt feel! It works well for sun protection wihout the thick pasty feel of other face screens!

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.
