Reviews For EltaMD UV Clear Broad Spectrum SPF 46 Facial Sunscreen
Great product, helps w/ oily skin
I have sensitive, acne prone, oily skin and this item does not irritate or cause any breakouts. This will be my new go to for daily sunscreen. It does help in keeping my oily skin at bay, not 100% though. Just one downside is that if I wear this to exercise outdoors when I build up a sweat, my skin starts to sting/burn. I imagine that's just because of the lactic acid. So it's not the best to use for sport activities.

Great product!
I have used this product for years and it is really nice. It adds a little color to your face, but does not replace makeup.

Lightweight sunscreen coverage
I’ve been wearing this for about 7 years off and on. This is the best sunscreen for my combo acne prone skin. My only wish is that had a more mattifying effect, which is why I alternate with another brand that is more mattifying. This does not cause breakouts, feel heavy or leave an odd color on my olive skin. If I want more coverage I add a bit of foundation to it. It feels and blends nicely.

Nice
Blends nicely. The only fact that I don’t like is the fragrance. Also after hour my face is shiny. If you are looking for matte finish it would not be my number 1 choice.

Trying to love this...
So I’m weird and mostly, when I apply cream, it makes my skin sweat profusely. This cream/spf does not do that. However, I noticed that it makes my skin extremely dry... with that being said, I’m trying to supplement a really hydrating night time routine. I need to wear spf and I know this one comes highly recommend, so as the review titles reads, I’m “trying to love this...”

Smooth coverage that also helps with acne
This sunscreen does a great job of protecting sensitive skin from the elements while also delivering a double dose of silky, smooth ingredients that help with mild acne. The tint is ever-so slight and doesn't overpower coverage. I'm giving it four stars instead of five for the following reason: I use a exfoliating lotion and when I also use the Elta MD product, it tends to flake quite badly and that's even with allowing the exfoliator to dry completely. If I don't use the exfoliating lotion, this doesn't happen BUT I do have to make sure that I've let the Elta sunscreen dry completely before applying any other products or make up. All in all - I love the Elta MD brand for it's ability to protect, to help with mild acne, and to give smooth coverage.

Love hate relationship
I LOVE the ingredients in this sunscreen. It works really well for my sensitive, acne prone skin. The reason I rate it 4 instead of 5 stars is because sometimes this pills over other skincare, and it doesn’t always wear well under make up. I prefer using this on no makeup days

I like it
I like this sunscreen. This is my first time buying it and it has NOT made me break out! The tint doesn’t really do much of anything but when applying the sunscreen goes on nicely. Reason for 4 stars and not 5 is that I wish it was more Moisturizing. It doesn’t dry out our skin but it doesn’t moisturize either.

Good protection without the whitness
A great sunscreen without the white cast. Not moisturizing but can easily be used over a moisturizer.

Nice sunscreen
My skin feels nice and it doesn’t leave a cast. One star off because it does pill if not used alone.

Untinted sunscreen
Love this sunscreen. Use it every single day. Goes on easily; not at all greasy. I use a pump of this along with a pump of the tinted version to better match my skin tone. (The tinted is too dark used alone for me; the untinted is too white.) Wish they would make a lighter shade of the tinted version. Until then (?!), this works for me.

Almost Perfect
Goes on like a really nice moisturizer and doesn't have a strong or lasting sunscreen smell, but it will leave a white cast. Out of all the sunscreens I've tried, the EltaMD UV Clear Broad-Spectrum is probably the best, but what's with the white cast? There are other sunscreens out there that protect from both UVA and UVB rays and don't leave a white cast... I'm very pale, so it's not too bad, but those with darker skin tones should probably steer clear unless you're going to cover with makeup!

Perfect spf for the summer
I love this sunscreen for the summer times. It’s matte and protects my skin perfectly. The niacinamide help with my breakouts. For the winter time I feel like this is not hydrating enough and a bit drying.

Good sunscreen
I love this spf, but for me the tint was a bit too shiny. I prefer the non tinted version as it’s is the same but without the tint. It’s a good spf that dries matte therefore I wouldn’t recommend if you have super dry skin.

Good Product
One of the best sunscreens I've tried. Sometimes I have a problem with it pilling before I even get it rubbed in all the way, but still better than most sunscreens ive tried.

I like it, but I’ve ordered two that have had issues with the pump
I have ordered EltaMD for a few years... I super love it, its my fav! Face isn’t greasy, it really does get rid of the redness, but I have had 2 (including my most recent purchase here) where the pump has issues working (hence minus a star), but you really can’t get a better sunscreen for the face.

Good
Came highly recommend and does a good job. I only wish it provided a bit more coverage but this works as a good base for my foundation and concealer.
