I use this on my face daily. Protects my skin from the sun and the tint gives me a warm and healthy glow.. natural look!

Recommended by my dermatologist
My dermatologist recommended this sunscreen for melasma. A bit thick but absorbs well.

Great sunscreen, but the tint is a bit too dark in the "upgraded" formula
I have purchased this product in the past and, despite what appeared to be a dark tint then, it blended well into my extremely fair skin. But I'm not so sure about this "upgraded" formula. The sun-protection factor is still good, but the tint is even darker now and it does not blend in well with my fair skin. I actually ended up buying something else to use for my face as a result of the failure of this "upgraded" formula to blend in well and I have been using this product for my chest and arms.

Protects perfectly
I have dark spots on my face and I am using medication to lighten them. My dermatologist recommended Elta MD UV Elements BROAD-SPECTRUM SPF 44. I used it for a long time until it was discontinued. I contacted the company and this replacement was recommended. I am very satisfied with the protection it provides. My dark spots have faded considerably with the medication and this product prevents them from coming back. I highly recommend it.

It’s my everyday foundation
I’m using this as my everyday foundation… looks beautiful and I can skip a step in the morning routine!

Inferior re-do of a favorite product!
The UV AOX is a new version of the "Elta MD UV Elements Broad Spectrum 44." It is thicker and doesn't blend in as smoothly as its predecessor. It is also contains less product (1.7 oz instead of 2 oz), yet is more expensive. Why did they do this?? Please bring back the original version!!!

Blends Well
It's a little thick but when blended it looks good.

Best tinted facial formula ever!
I’ve been using Elta products for many years now. I have used the regular tinted facial sunscreen but wasn’t happy with it. This EltaMD UV AOX tinted broad spectrum SPF 50 is the only one I will use on my face. The formula is light & the best part is that it seems to match my skin tone perfectly - like it adjusts to your coloring. I use it daily and definitely noticed improvement to my skin. I tell everyone to use EltaMD products and am happy to share this new “find”.

The new formula does not do it for me!
I liked the old formula better. It was thinner and had a nice glowy sheen. Also, the tint worked better for my complexion. The new formula looks unnatural on my skin—dark and flat. I only use it around the house when I telework and when I go outside for walks in the neighborhood.

Not a good color for me
I tried this sunscreen after my dermatologist recommended it. I liked how it applied, it felt nice going on, and was nice and moisturizing. However, the color just didn't look right with my skin tone, so I returned it.

Disappointing
I loved EltaMD UV Elements Broad Spectrum SPF 44 Tinted Moisturizer but unfortunately it was discontinued. Apparently this is it's replacement - and is a disappointment. It's a thicker formula and I find it harder to apply. It also has a darker, orangey tint, which doesn't match my skin tone.

Best Sun Protection
This is the best sun protection I've had cuz not only does it protect but it enhances and nourishes my skin at the same time. I remember putting this on before going to my doc's appointment & I wore a mask as I had a bit of a cold. The ladies at the reception kept remarking that even though I had a mask on, they could tell I had great skin just from seeing my forehead and my upper cheeks. It was a surprise to hear that comment aloud. I never fail to use it when going out, sans makeup, & I've had compliments from friends left and right. I guess it blends so well with my olive skin tone & I take great care of my skin, so that combination has led to wonderful results. Thank you, LovelySkin, for making my skin care routine affordable with promos & rewards.

Great sunscreen
I really like the feel of the new formulation. It applies easily and feels light on the face. Not greasy or heavy at all. I use it like a foundation.

Preferred Old Formulation of UV Elements
I used the old formulation of UV Elements for over 8 years since the tint blended well with my skin tone and I am a religious daily user of a mineral sunscreen. It was a great daily substitute for foundation and felt light on my skin. LovelySkin recommended this as a substitute for the discontinued UV Elements so I gave it a try. The first use of the improved formula burned my eyes. It applied smoothly but felt a little too thick, melted off my face in heat/humidity, and transferred too easily to clothing for my liking. The color is also too orange for me. I used the single bottle that I purchased but have since switched to another EltaMD tinted mineral sunscreen. Wanted to love it because the old UV Elements was my go-to (I raved about it to friends and family) but I felt that the revised formula was not a comparable substitute for the discontinued UV Elements and I was not willing to pay a higher price for a lesser quantity. All in all, the sunscreen felt silky smooth on my face but the revised formula was not for me.

Disappointed replacement to SPF 44 tinted moisture facial cream
i tried to reorder the 44 SPF facial tinted cream I had used before and found it was discontinued and replaced with the suggested product, but it does not compare. Tint is too light and it does not apply as smoothly as the former product. I am disappointed in this new one and will not reorder it again.

So Far, So Good
This sunscreen is really working for my dry, mature skin in the first few weeks of using. I am not a fan of sunscreen but of course know it's a necessity. This one is comfortable to use, doesn't irritate my often reactive skin, and actually makes my skin look a little better. It tones down redness and doesn't show the dreaded white of zinc, my preferred sun protection. I can see myself sticking with this one.
