Reviews For EltaMD UV Facial Broad Spectrum SPF 30+ Moisturizing Facial Sunscreen
Gentle and effective for everyday use
This is a great face/neck/chest sunscreen, especially for dry skin. It appears to have identical ingredients as the EltaMD pump moisturizing sunscreen lotion and the consistency is quite similar, if not the same. It may be best to purchase whichever is more economical (the pump) and see how it goes. I have sensitive skin, and this does not bother my skin nor does it have a strong, off-putting sunscreen-y smell/ I would not use this for prolonged/heavy sun exposure, but it is great for daily use or as a base layer.

I am obsessed with this sunscreen! It melts into your skin and is very hydrating. I use this on face and body and the sun protection is amazing. HIGHLY recommend this for everyone!

Love My Face
I have used this product for more than 3 years. I learned about it from watching a YouTuber talking about various sunscreens for the face. I chose this one because the label noted it was good for dry or post-procedural skin. With age and years of sun-worshiping, my face has become dry to very dry in the winter. I fell in love with this sunscreen as it adds moisture to my face. I apply this to my face daily and I use it on the back of my hands as well. It works well with my foundation and other face products. I have looked at other facial sunscreens and many have some alcohol included which is a turn off for me. I love my face using this product. I highly recommend this to anyone with dry skin, no matter one's age.

Love this stuff
I've been using daily this since the day my dermatologist recommended it at least a decade ago. Haven't had a sunburned face even once. Love how it soaks in immediately.

Everyday go to
My dermatologist recommended this and I use it every morning and whenever I go outside. I have a big issue with adult acne but I like this product because it doesn’t make it worse or make it feel like my skin is drying out or getting oily

Another great product
I purchased this product last year and finally get to try the product. As usual, this is another great one. It is very light and not greasy and gives a great protection. I use this one when I don’t go out so I am still protected. I am so happy that I bought two jars at the time of purchase. The extra jar that I bought is for my mom who lives in Hong Kong.

PERFECT for post procedure
This sunscreen is SO soft and rubs in so easily. I will say that it is not very sheer-- it leaves the skin a bit oily after application, but the oily look goes away after a half an hour or so. I use it after laser hair removal, and it really helps. It is also a good mineral sunscreen for people of color. Most mineral sunscreens leave a white cast, but this one does not. Honestly, all Elta MD sunscreens are good sunscreens for people of color.

Hydrating and good value!
After trying out a couple of other EltaMD sunscreen options, I tried this one as a lower SPF option because I noticed it came with a lot more product for the money. I have found the formula to be very hydrating, even in the dry winter months. Some may not love the jar for sanitary reasons, but I like that I'm able to get all the product out of the container and that I can control how much I'm applying. I would definitely repurchase this product!

No dryness
Having a fair skin, I have tried many facial sunscreens. A lot with zinc in them will dry out my skin. This has been a game changer for me. It goes on smoothly and absorbs well into my skin. It does not cause any dryness. My makeup goes on perfectly over top of it.

My Go-to Facial Sunscreen
I’ve used EltaMD Facial sunscreens for more than 5 years. It is my go-to sunscreen to use at the beach or pool. I do not like using it with makeup.

Tretinoin Face Saver!
I purchased this along with the intense moisturizer to include in my tretinoin routine. Very hydrating, non irritating and leaves no white cast. Will definitely purchase again.

Excellent products
I have used several of the EltaMD products for several years as recommended by my dermatologist. They are dependable and effective. I really appreciate the transparent zinc oxide and feel that the products are also lightweight and nourishing.

Not bad
I've always liked this sunscreen, but that's just it. Its just a sunscreen. I used to think it was super hydrating but now it just seems like an oily sunscreen. I'm not sure if they changed the formula or if I just grew out of it. I also don't like the way it wears with makeup. Once I start blending my makeup over it, it starts balling up and rolling off. Its fine on its own?

My favorite sunscreen - and I've tried A LOT!
I always come back to this EltaMD sunscreen. While I would prefer an all mineral one, they are just so drying and heavy on my extremely dry skin. This has some chemical sunscreen but is mainly zinc - it strikes they right balance of making it pleasant to use and physical-block effective. That means I'll use it! I makes my skin soft and comfortable, never leaves a white cast, never pills, and somehow makes my skin actually better while I'm wearing it. Now, Elta just needs to bring back pump spray body sunscreen - which was m other go too. Effective, not drying, and not impossible to get off once I'm home from the beach!
