Great Sunscreen
My dermatologist recommended this product so I took a chance and ordered a bottle. I have used it now several times and am completely satisfied with the sun protection and how it blends into my fair skin. A bit pricey, but it is a recommended product.

Good product
My skin becomes red easily. The green base to this sunscreen helps minimize the excessive coloring on my face but I appreciate the color mitigation on my neck and décolleté where I don’t generally use makeup.

Good for Sensitive Skin
I like that this is designed for sensitive skin. The green tint doesnt do much for me, so for a couple if dollars less, Ive opted for the non tint.

Clogs my oil glands
I love the other eltaMd products but for some reason this one clogs my oil glands at my eye lashes. This product with the green tint is the only product that I was using when I got an infection in one eye’s oil gland and when I got an infection in the other eye. I stopped using this product in between.

Don’t be afraid of its green tint
I received samples of this product from an Elta MD Representative who was at my skin doctor’s office at the time of my visit. I was hesitant about the green shade of it, but she insisted I would love the way it felt on my skin. She was right, and I have switched to this product from my other Elta MD total physical sunscreen product’s for my face. I mix this with a slight bit of my favorite foundation and apply it entirely over my face and decollate . It does not slide off as the day goes on; nor feel tacky. I have ordered this twice now. That’s how much I love it. I am much more apt to reapply this during the day because it does not feel like I’m layering upon layering.

Finally a Sunscreen My Sensitive Skin Loves
I’ve tried a lot of sunscreens and most either irritate my skin or feel too heavy, but this one has been different. Before using it, my skin would get red easily and look greasy by midday. After using this consistently, my skin looks calmer and more even, and I don’t feel the need to wear foundation every day. The texture is lightweight, blends quickly, and leaves no white cast. The tint is very natural but helps reduce redness just enough to make a visible difference. I also live in a humid climate, and this doesn’t clog my pores or cause breakouts. It actually feels soothing when applied. It layers well under makeup with no pilling, which is a big plus. I would recommend this to anyone with sensitive or redness-prone skin who wants a sunscreen that feels comfortable enough to use every day. Definitely repurchasing.

EltaMD UV Skin Recovery SPF with green tint
This is a new product for me and it is a nice, lightweight formula that really does ‘take the red out’ of the complexion. Certainly recommend for redness muting.

Tempers my husbands Irish Tan
Love the SPF 50 and the green tint. My husbands fair skin doesn’t tan brown, but a ruddy Irish red. This minimizes the red appearance.

OK but not great
This is my first green-tinted sunscreen, so I didn't have preconceptions before using this. It feels very light and provides little to no coverage for me. If I use a light foundation on top works very well.

This is a must have
I've always used eltamd spf But had never tried the green tint until I received a sample. I don't think I'll ever go back to using anything else. It really does make a difference in the redness in my face. For some reason I also feel like it's a little bit more moisturizing and leaves a different type of sheen which I enjoy.

Perfect SPF for any skin but essential for hyper-sensitive skins: we know who we are...
I have purchased UV Skin Recovery SPF 50 (green tint) about six times. The only better SPF I've used is a (2014) discontinued SPF 30 mineral based product from another brand. If you used that SPF, you know that it was incredibly effective. Since it was discontinued I've not found a daily-use SPF that truly did not disturb my rosacea and was completely comfortable for 24 hours---until I discovered this product. For my incredibly sensitive, rosacea conditions this Elta MD SPF is truly non-irritating. I use it every day. I can use a mild moisturizer underneath if I need extra hydration. Most days (even in winter) the UV Skin Recovery SPF 50 (green) is enough. The green tint doesn't do much to tone down the pink in my face but, the green tint (which is minimal) completely eliminates any trace of white/ashy/zinc cast. It is invisible. The un-tinted formula does leave a slight cast that I do not like. My skin tone is Fitzpatrick Scale Type 1. However I cannot imagine any Type, 1-6, that could not wear this SPF invisibly. Elta MD Skin Recovery SPF 50 (green) is, for me, perfect. I will continue to purchase it.

Made Rosacea redness worse
I have rosacea redness on my cheeks and had hoped the green tint of this sunscreen would help. Not only did it not help, but it made the redness on my cheeks much worse. I stopped using it after a couple of days and threw it out. I went back to La Roche Posay sunscreen.

Not for sensitive skin
This made my rosacea much worse and broke me out all over. I had to toss after trying it out 3 times. I miss the original UV Elements sunscreen. That was the best! Unfortunately this one was really bad for my skin. Also the green tint for me did not cover any redness whatsoever.

Found this to be a very unsatisfactory product
I have used EltaMD products for years with great success. LOVE THEM. So, I suggested my daughter try this product—she can have some redness and splotchy areas on her face—has a tendency to lean towards mild rosacea but nothing severe/dramatic and not all the time. I suggested this Elta product for her to try. Oh my, from the very first day she started to develop bumps/splotchy-ness/severe redness and rash/itchiness/and some swelling. Had her stop the product and after 3-4 days it went away. She also made an emergency appt with her Derm. Just goes to show not everyone can use a certain product. Is what it is, but Lordie, she suffered for a great many days. It also, she said, went on cakey/thick/heavy and didn’t feel very comfortable.

Recommended for sensitive skin
I have very sensitive skin and really like this sunscreen. It has a lightweight texture and absorbs almost instantly. It feels very calming and soothing upon application. It could be a little more hydrating but I appreciate that it isn't greasy and hasn't caused any breakouts.

Perfect for rosacea
It really calms down the redness and blends into my skin without leaving a white cast. Doesn’t irritate either. Love.

Minimal Redness Correction
I bought this to neutralize redness and irritation since starting tretinoin. As others have mentioned, the redness correction is minimal. While the formula is nice (not greasy nor too light) and sinks into skin well, I was underwhelmed with the results given the $52 price. Save your money and buy a green primer from the drugstore.

Elat MD UV Recovery cream green tint
Excellent product. Moisturizing and does cut down on redness. It’s expensive but worth it. A little goes a long way.
