Reviews For EltaMD UV Sheer Broad Spectrum SPF 50+ Face and Body Sunscreen
White Cast but Effective
Does leave white cast if not rubbed in & can pill if skin is dry even under makeup. But i do like it for body.

Very nice!
I really like this as a moisturizer that also protects from the sun. It goes on nicely and doesn't make my skin look oily or Greasy like many moisturizers do!

Feels great on
This is my husband's favorite sunscreen because it goes on easily and doesn't feel slippery. It has a thin texture that makes it easy to apply. I've used Elta MD products for 20+ years and trust their quality.

Great product/
I eliminated one star because the tube design has changed. I liked the "old" tube of just flipping the top and you were ready to dispense the sunscreen. You have to unscrew the top to use, which is not as conenient as the previous top. I have been using Elta MD sunscreen for years and believe it to be a great product to block the sun. It never feels greasy and can be used under make-up.

I EltaMD UV Sheer Broad Spectrum SPF 50+
I bought this sunscreen as a replacement for my favorite EltaMD SPF 45 sunscreen which has been discontinued. I am hoping that as I continue to use this one it will also give me good results.

Fairly sheer
This product seems to protect well but it leaves an oily feeling residue on my skin. I prefer it for my arms rather than for my face.

Nice product
Texture is shear, there is absolutely zero smell (fragrance) and it’s not paste-y white, it’s not tacky it dries nicely and makeup applies nicely over it. I like to use it on my ears, neck, chest, tops of my shoulders and tops of my hands when I’m wearing SPF protective clothing.

Lotion is Sheer, Dry and Soaks in Well--Really Would Like Different Dispenser/Cap
This lotion does not feel greasy or heavy at all which is nice in 90+ humid weather. Really wish it came in an airless pump or at least with an attached cap--hence the four-star rating. Do not like the separate cap on the tube.

Long lasting
Product works great on sensitive skin, applies easily enough, and is long lasting. I wish the sunscreen didn't spill out of the bottle so quickly when first starting to apply. I feel a pump bottle or upright bottle would be better.

Wonderful protection
This provided wonderful coverage from the sun; however after a while my skin started tingling and burning. I absolutely LOVE Elta 46 spf with the hyaluronic acid though.

Great Products
This was suggested by my dermatologist, and I do like the way it works.

Good product for sun protection
Love that this SPF is sheer and no white residue or worrying about a tinted version getting on clothes. However my sensitive skin does react (turn a bit red) after applying. I can tolerate it though for the spf 50 and Untinted option.

Great Waterproof Option
I usually use the UV Clear for this brand but when traveling, I wanted an SPF that had some more stick to it, due to the hot weather. I tried this one and liked it quite a lot. I used one bottle that lasted about one week over my body and face, with reapplications for a trip. The product goes on smoothly, no irritation, not much shine. The only issue I have with it is it does not last long if using over body and reapplying all day. For the cost it is expensive. I would purchase again in the future when traveling because it sticks well to the skin and is a great size for travel but probably not for everyday use.

Decent facial sunscreen
I wanted to find a high-spf facial sunscreen that wouldn't be greasy/cause breakouts, wouldn't cast a white tint, and was water-resistant. I'm giving this four stars because it didn't cause breakouts, doesn't cast a white tint (yay!) but does feel a little a little greasier than I'd like and stung my eyes after I started sweating. I'll use this up but will still continue my search.

Good sunscreen
Easy to apply without leaving a white film on skin. Absorbs well with no shine and gives good protection and a little goes a long way. It doesn’t moisturize much, my skin feels dry or powdery but not too bad.

Pretty pleased!
I have the hardest time with sunscreens—everything ends up stinging or breaking me out. With this one, a little goes a long way and if anything, it’s been helping my skin out. I use this as a moisturizer/spf 2-in-one, which I love. It can definitely get a bit shiny, but I set it with powder and that seems to do the trick. Ultimately, I’d rather be a little glowy than have my skin dry out by the end, which has happened with other mineral sunscreens.

Better than Others
I got a sample of this and was so impressed I had to purchase a full-size. I was surprised at how small a full-size was since this is for the body and face, but I like that it didn't leave a super thick and white cast on the skin. It seems a bit less greasy than other sunscreens, too. I use it for when I want extra strong sun protection, even if I'm not going in the water. I recently developed some nasty skin conditions that required extra sun protection, and I found this sunscreen to be helpful.

Does not leave a white cast!
This is a nice product! It goes on easily and becomes sheer. Does not leave a white cast on my tan skin. It is smooth and not thick. Of note this is not completely mineral/physical and does contain some chemical sunscreen.

Goes on smoothly and not greasy
This goes on smoothly, isn't greasy and doesn't leave your face looking shiny white.

Good EltaMD alternative spf for non-tinted days
This new product probably ranks in second behind my more favored tinted clear zinc one by EltaMD, but it's great for days when I don't want to use any tinted products. Only deducted a star for packaging. Because this product is a bit runnier than the others, the screw top is not fun to wrestle with once you've dispensed out the product onto your hands. Would have much preferred a snap top or something easier to manage. Just like any other product, I think how this will sit on your skin depends on your skin. For me, it kind of starts out a little oily looking, but soon seems to matte up a bit. So, if you're like me, give it a min before freaking out over looking or feeling greasy. Still the best protection out there per most dermatology specialists I've spoken to.
