Reviews For EltaMD UV Clear Broad Spectrum SPF 46 Facial Sunscreen
Went on easily
and seems smooth. Tint worked fine for me. I just got this product so have only used a few times. Will use more on my trip this week and can give better review then.

Love & Hate Relationship
My quest for the perfect sunscreen began early this year when i started using Vit C/Retinol products. I started off with mineral sunscreens but they gave me the geisha look. Even the tinted ones were not deep enough and still showed up on my skin. Then, i found this one, mineral + chemical combo. I have an oily, acne-prone, acne scars, brown skin. I have used this ss for about 6 months now. Positives include it is light, works well under make-up & does not make me break-out. Negatives include it pills if you rub it too hard (you have to lightly apply it and apply fast too). A big negative for me is that it still gives a white sheen on my skin. Even though the ss says Clear, it is not really clear on brown skin if you apply liberally as you should. So, I always have to apply make-up when wearing it for work. I have resigned myself to the fact that as long as the zinc is present, it will show on my skin. On the weekends, i use another sunscreen. If the white sheen factor was not present, this would end my search for my HG sunscreen!

Great Sunscreen Line
EltaMD is a great sunscreen line, their sunscreens are light weight. My bottle lasted pretty long and overall was really satisfied with the sunscreen. As someone who is acne prone and oily, I am usually so afraid to try new sunscreens but when I read that this sunscreen was specifically formulated for those with my skin type I decided to give it a try. I must say I was not disappointed.

Great light sunscreen for fall and winter
Easy to apply, feels great on the skin and does not make you appear white. Not water resistant so not good for any time you may be sweating, also Zinc Oxide is not the best full UVA blocker so would use something stronger for all day in the sun but perfect for the to and from work exposure.

Elta MD Products
I only use EltaMD products for my face and body. They work great! The EltaMD UV Clear is my favorite for my face as it doesnt make my face breakout. The only reason I gave this a 4 star is because the pump products have had a few issues being able to pump. Im hoping the manufacturer will quickly fix the problem. I will still buy EltaMD products!

Very Moisturizing-LOVE
I absolutely love this product. It has a creamy texture and gives just the right amount of tint for my skin. It works lovely for my acne-prone skin.

Good sunscreen, keeps me from burning
This sunscreen kept my face from getting burnt and wasnt too thick or mask-like. It did get a little "ropey" or sticky if I worked it into my face too much (I think I might just have a bad habit of doing that with sunscreen). But it did the job, didnt have a smell, and didnt make me break out. A little pricey for the bottle, but cheaper than acne--and I have sensitive skin, so anything that doesnt irritate is a win.

Favorite so far!
I used this sunscreen during a current HOT spell and was very pleased that it did not cause my face to shine and look moist. I love the clear and slightly matt finish it provides. The texture is perfect for my skin. This sunscreen goes on smoothly. My only negative is that Im not fond of the pump dispensing system. I like to get all of the product out of the bottle. The jury is out since Im not through the first bottle yet. I hope to be pleasantly surprised.

almost great
i like that this sunscreen is not overly greasy, however the problem may be that over the course of the day, i find the layer of sunscreen gets pretty dry, and i wonder if that is preventing my skin from breathing, and causing it to clog. i have skin that is naturally oily, so i like to keep it well moisturized and in balance. over-washing or drying out my skin in the past has lead to acne, and i still have mild to moderate acne now, which improves if i keep my skin properly balanced and moisturized. i dont think the product itself clogs my pores at all, it is more that it makes it a bit dry and stiff towards the end of the day, which my type of skin does not like, and i have noticed bumps forming after a day of wearing this. i may try to remove the product in late afternoon and see if that helps.

Good sunscreen
Light weight, easy to apply, hygienic packaging. Took 1 star away because it pilled under my makeup and dried out my skin a bit.

Light, Non-greasy
Tried many sunscreens before, but this is by far the lightest. It doesnt go on feeling greasy like other sunscreens and when it dries, you cant feel its on at all. I did get a few pimples the first week using this but it went away after that. (I also started a new skin care regimen in conjunction to this so it could have been my skin just adjusting.) Its also been minimizing any redness ever since using this. Best sunscreen I have tried so far.

Good Sunscreen For Acne Prone Skin
This is non-greasy and will not leave you with a white cast like a lot of others with ZnO. The ingredients are also beneficial to acne prone skin since it has 5% VB3 in it. However, if you apply some gel type products before/after it, it is highly possible to ball up on the skin.

Great Sunscreen
This sunscreen was recommended by my dermatologist, I have tried several other products this is the best. My skin is very sensitive to the sun, I break out in a rash. Since using this product I have not experienced the itching rash. I will try some of the other products from EltaMD.

Light
Sunscreen goes on light, but you need powder to make it set. Overall, good purchase.

Ultra MD
My dermatologist recommended this product. It provides good protection but doesnt feel greasy or look like youve applied a zinc oxide product. Will order more.

a good balance for a great product
Most of the good quality sun lotions have double price for the same effect: Elta Md sunscreen has a great quality, is a very professional product and still the price is very decent. I use it everyday and is perfect to put make up on as it is not oily. It protects your skin perfectly in city environments and helps you to prevent wrinkles and dark spots. This product was recommended by my dermatologist and I recommend it to anyone: USE SUNSCREEN !!!

eltamd uv clear broad spectrum sunscreen 46 spf
This is the first facial sunsreen I have tried that I havent broken out. Love that it feels very light and sheer! Would have given it 5 stars if not for the mild sunscreen smell.

Great sunscreen, not sweat proof though
I love this sunscreen for the winter! I does not break me out (and I am very break out prone) and I havent noticed a white cast either. It goes on smooth. The only thing is that you can sweat this off pretty easily, which is not great for humid summers.
