Reviews For EltaMD UV AOX Elements Tinted Broad Spectrum SPF 50 - Upgraded Formula
Not a good substitute for original product
The website suggested the eltaMD UV AOX Elements as a substitute for the discontinued eltaMD UV Elements Broad Spectrum SPF 44 Tinted Moisturizer. The new product does not apply as nicely and the tint is different, making me look jaundiced. I plan on returning this product and hope to find a better replacement for the Broad Spectrum SPF 44 Tinted Moisturizer.

Disappointed – Bring Back the Original!
I'm really disappointed with the reformulated sunscreen. The original UV Elements was far superior and used to be my favorite. However, this new version, AOX Elements, stings my face and is not comfortable to wear. It's not matte at all—it's greasy and melts off in warm weather, even getting into my eyes. It also rubs off easily if anything touches it, so avoid wearing nice clothes or leaving your hair down, as it will stick to your face. I really hope they bring back the old formula. Until then, I'll be searching for a new sunscreen.

Too orange but nice coverage
I have a mixed review. I love Elta been using for years. I love the clear but has been pilling when I apply make up. Something changed. I tried a sample of AOX. I really like the creamy texture and coverage. Sadly I can't wear it alone because the tone is too orange. However it doesn't pill when I apply my foundation so it's a better choice. Would love if Elta would use the tone in their tinted sunscreen. That one is just too sheer.

Lovely - thick a little sticky
So this stuff is great! A nice color on my white skin. May be a little whitecast for darker skin tones. Glides on sooo smooth and works well under foundation.. BUT if you touch your face a lot.. I wouldn't say this the best for you as it moves on touch. if you scratch your face you move the lotion.. especially if your like me and put it on thick to cover melasma. But feels great, doesn't break me out and great coverage for melasma

Bring back the Elements!!
I had high hopes for the new rendition, but it doesn’t live up to the old UV Elements sunscreen. This left my skin excessively oily and shiny. It oxidized incredibly quickly on my skin and basically looked like it wore off after about 15 minutes. It’s a complete pass for me. There are hundreds of other brands/formulas out there for less money that perform better.

Ideal for active lifestyle
This is my daily sunscreen and I highly recommend it. I love the tint because it evens out my skin without makeup and makes me feel more comfortable out in public than I'd feel with a transparent sunscreen. It is thick and odorless which I like a lot because I have mature and dry skin. I try to walk outdoor and exercise daily so I count on my sunscreen for protection. I recently spent a week in the hot caribbean and did not get any sunburn at all. On most days I only applied this to my face one time and as long as I didn't wet my face, the protection seemed to last all day. It was extremely hot and the sunscreen held up with sweating.

EltaMD UV AOX Elements Tinted Broad Spectrum SPF 50
This new formula for tinted sunscreen has been the best product for me. I like the rich, creamy feel and shade of tint. It seems to stay on the face better than previous formula. Certainly worth a try.

Easy to apply
I received a sample of this product and loved how creamy and easy it was to apply. it also gives a nice soft look with its tinted cream. I ordered it after using the sample as I loved how easy it was to apply and the the coverage it gave.

Good product but tint wasn't right for me
The product itself is good. No icky sticky feeling and the creamy texture makes it easy to apply and achieve good coverage but the tint wasn't right for me. It's too orange and not natural looking. I'm using EltaMD sheer SPF50 instead which doesn't have a tint.

Favorite Sunscreen
I have tried many different brands of sunscreen and this is my favorite. With the tint I don’t even need to use foundation anymore and it doesn’t pill like some other brands I have tried. It works well for my acne prone skin.

Lovely!
I really like this EltaMD tinted SPF, the shade actually blends very nicely with my skin tone. I will try to replenish my stash as soon as I grab those sale prices! Great product, highly recommend!

Enjoying product
I definitely like the coverage of this lotion, it seems a little bit too thick. Wish lotion was somewhat thinner. I add some regular lotion to it before applying

Not like the original
It's surprising that this original Elements was discounted, as it was so popular! This one is way too dark, a bit thick and greasy. Might work for someone, but if you're expecting an improvement on the original Elements formula, this isn't it. Love EltaMD though.

Good protective coverage
Sometimes I want a little more coverage than my go to barely tinted facial sunscreen. I am glad I tried this. Thanks for the sample, LovelySkin! Good value I think for such a good product. No flaking or white cast.

Good sun screen
I love the original elements and this is not the same. Not bad either. However I learned not to take too much before applying. It does melt into your skin so it doesn't appear white and it stays on for 18 holes of golf. I need this protection due to melasma.

New formula is great
I was skeptical when I heard my beloved Elements had been reformulated. I'm actually pleasantly surprised! I like that it's thicker and creamier. Seems more like a tinted spf moisturizer in texture. The color is similar to the old formula just slightly different but still works well with my skin tone. I am able to use this and a concealer for days that I work from home. I'm glad that it is still a winner!

Not as great as the old formula, but good!
I liked the old formula better. It was easier to apply while the new formula is a bit pasty. I do like the tint better with the new formula (my skin is pale olive). Overall, it's pretty good and I prefer the extra coverage so I will probably stick with this one over the tinted UV clear.
