Reviews For EltaMD UV AOX Elements Tinted Broad Spectrum SPF 50 - Upgraded Formula
Too dark for light skin
Wanted to like this because I like the creamy texture but sadly the tinted color is too dark for my light skin tone.

thicker than other formula but I think that will be a good thing
this is new to me but I've been using Elta MD for several years now since my doctor recommended it. I have been using tinted UV clear and happy with it but wanted to see if this gave me a bit stronger coverage and seems to be what it does. I'll still use the clear UV for every day but glad to have this one for stronger sun.

My go to sunscreen this summer
It’s little bit heavier than I hoped but gives nice smooth coverage. I mix with drop of daily moisturizer to thin it out. Doesn’t leave greasy feel. Will order again but Next time I will order the I tinted.

good mineral sunscreen
This is a great mineral sunscreen. It does take a bit of rubbing in to get rid of the whitecast but it works well on my medium tan skin. It does leave the skin looking a bit shiny that's why I still prefer using UV Elements.

Excellent but needs more than one shade
I love this product, but it almost looks like bronzer on me. Will keep it to use on my hands and arms, but they really need to offer at least one more shade.

A trial run!
I use many of your products & I love them all. When I saw this I thought I would try it to add some color to my face during the Winter. Unfortunately I only used it once & can’ t use it again. It is not your product , it is me, can’t stand Makeup on my face! Never could use it. However I gave it to my daughter, because I introduced her to the products & she loves it!!!!

Very emollient sunscreen
I was excited to try this new UV AOX Elements as I have been a long-time user of the original version without AOX. This new product is quite smooth and emollient, and has a warm (very slightly yellowish) tint. It feels great on my dry skin in the winter. Compared to the original formula, this sunscreen is definitely more emollient rather than creamy, and it comes in a smaller container. I think this would be a good sunscreen for someone with very dry skin.

Best tinted mineral spf I’ve used so far
I wear this everyday in place of foundation and it gives decent coverage and glow. I have to use mineral sunscreens or I break out. This stays on pretty much all day too. It can look a little orange if too much is applied. I found it’s best to wait a few minutes after applying and then apply the rest of your makeup.

Ok but drying
I had a laser treatment on my face and needed a good mineral sunscreen to protest it without irritation. This stuff works ok but dried my skin a little and needed frequent re application. But it was not irritated. The trick is to layer a lot of moisturizer underneath it to stop drying.

Checks most of the boxes.
I was looking for a tinted sunscreen which does not smell like sunscreen and does not leave a white cast on my face. This one works well except that I wish the tint were darker/thicker so it is more effective in covering up my pigment spots. It does not cause any pilling and the solution is fairly thin so it works well under makeup.

Covers well, but thick
I like the coverage and I think it keeps my face from burning, but it is quite thick. I will probably go back to the EltaMD sunscreen I used before. I like this because it is mostly made with minerals (not chemicals), but just too thick.

Good product
This is my second purchase of this sunscreen. It absorbs very well on my skin. It can have a slight orange tint to it. It provides excellent protection. I have no need to use foundation because this is tinted. I subtracted one star due to an apparently broken pump I couldn’t seem to fix

Okay
I would say that the sunscreen is just OK. There’s nothing special about this in particular. It goes on very nicely. Has a nice texture and caused no breakouts, however it was very difficult to remove and sound that caused my bathroom sink drain to clog up.

Excellent daily sunscreen.
Nice daily coverage and excellent sun protection. Applies easily, feels moisturizing yet not oily. Can be used as a natural looking foundation although the tint tends to be a little yellow if you are very fair.

Nice tinted sunscreen
I like this sunscreen for it being physical, reasonably priced, and moisturizing. My one complaint is the bottle/packaging. After a while, the pump doesn’t work and you have to open it and squeeze the bottle.

Not for pink undertone skin
The tint of UV Elements was too tan/dark for my skin. I have light (not fair) skin w/ cool undertones. Tried this one since it was a bit more moisturizing than what I have been using. The color of UV Elements was not a good match for my skin tone, so I did return it. A dear friend wears UV Elements as her foundation & it looks amazing on her! She is Hispanic & has darker skin than I do. If you have medium-darker coloring, UV Elements might be the one for you. EltaMD UV Physical is what I have been wearing for years, and it is a perfect match for my skin coloring. Guess I'll stick to that one.

Great tint, comes off easily with sweating
I really do like this sunscreen - it has a good tint and does not irritate/burn my sensitive skin. The only reason I gave 4/5 stars is because it does come off easily just with normal activities. If you tend to sweat, wear a mask at work or have oily skin, then I'd suggest a more water resistant "sport" level coverage.

Tinted Moisturizer
This is a good moisturizer/sun protectant to use instead of makeup because it's tinted if you don't require major coverage. I've used this during the summer months brushing on a light powder on top. Nice way to go for summertime in particular.

Go to sunscreen
Love UV Clear but I’m sadly allergic. UV Elements is second best. The tint is too dark for me so I combine with foundation from a different brand (also spf) and this works great. No white cast. Love the lotion texture and wear but wish there was a non-tinted option.

One of my new Favorites from EltaMD
This is definitely one of my new favorite sunscreens from EltaMD! I've been wearing it every day this summer. I am light-skinned with blonde hair and this blends perfectly (not too dark at all). During the winter months, I intend to swap it back out with UV Clear. My only complaint would be that the pump fails to dispense out all of the product--especially towards the end. I had to cut my bottle open with scissors and store it in a ziplock while I finished what was left of the product because the pump stopped working. 5-Star product! Dispenser/pump is not the best (but not a dealbreaker for me).
