Good Sunscreen.
I love the high content of zinc oxide in this sunscreen, however I wish if it contained physical sunscreen ingredients only. And it contains a high content of a B vitamin which is amazing. Also, it does not have a scent which is important for me.

Slightly drying, very light tint, but breakout-free!
Overall I like this sunscreen quite a bit, but it is drying even for my combination skin, so I have to use moisturizer at night on dry areas after wearing this during the day. I wish the tint were a bit more intense but it is very sheer. The best thing about this product is that I have not had a single breakout while using it, and this is my second bottle. The niacinamide content is high enough to really make a difference, and supposedly this ingredient also helps with fine lines -- at age 36, I unfortunately have both acne and nascent wrinkles, so this product addresses both problems.

Light, moisturizing sunscreen that works!
I have seborrheic dermatitis on my face and rosacea, and this sunscreen has helped clear it out. I like the fact that it is mineral based and doesn't feel too heavy so my skin can breathe, which is important given my skin condition. It feels super nice on my skin and glides right through, and I also like how it has Niacinamide. The only thing I don't like about it is that it has octinoxate which the EWG.org has labeled as a high toxicity sunscreen ingredient, although goodguide.com labels it as safe with use restrictions. I guess you can't have everything!

Great Product
I really liked this lotion, felt great & lightweight. Not shiny. However, after receiving the tinted version of the same UV Clear and trying it, decided to return the untinted for the tinted - just more practical for me as this is the only "makeup" I wear :) I was going to wear the other for working out, going to the pool but it is not water resistant.

Irritated my eyes
I loved the texture of this sunscreen and it wore well under my makeup, but I used it around my eyes and it really caused them to burn and be red. I believe it is the octinoxate. I was hoping to find an untinted physical sunscreen by Elta, but unfortunately there are only 2 Elta physical sunscreens that do not contain anything but Zinc Oxide and Titanium Dioxide and they are both tinted. I have the tinted SPF 41 and it is OK, but seems a little too dark and turns orange on me. I still give this 4 stars because it is good, just not good for me to use on my face. I can still use it on my body.

Nice, but ...
For the past year-and-a-half, I've been using EltaMD UV Physical Broad-Spectrum SPF 41 (Tinted), but decided to try this product because: a) I thought the pump dispenser might be easier to use than the tube and b) a little more SPF never hurts. While the pump dispenser is nice, this formulation is not as creamy as the SPF 41 version. I prefer the texture of 41 — it goes on more evenly and gives me more of a foundation-like finish. I'll be going back to it for my next order.

EltaMD UV Clear Broad-Spectrum SPF 46 Sunscreen
Love this sunscreen. I hate thick, heavy sunscreens, and this one is so light, you can barely feel that it's on. Works great under makeup, and feels very clean, not oily or greasy at all. The only downside for me is that it doesn't have a lot of staying power, especially during swimming or sweaty workouts - it comes right off, so I felt I needed to reapply more often than other heavier sunscreens. For outdoor workouts, I wouldn't recommend this - but otherwise, it's amazing.

Top of the line sunscreen
I like Elta tinted sunscreen, just wish it was a bit thicker as I do not wear make up and was hoping for more coverage, thus the 4 stars.

Great sunscreen, not perfect
I really love both the tinted and untainted version of this sunscreen. It dries matte and feels great on the skin. This would absolutely be a five star product if not for one minor issue: it bunches a bit under my foundation. I love this sunscreen on days when I'm not wearing foundation, but it's kind of a pain to layer under makeup. Maybe it's just the particular foundation I'm using? The two products might just not mesh well together. That being said, still a great sunscreen that I purchase over and over.

No odor
I know sunscreens are a must, but I can't stand the smell of most I've tried. This Elta sunscreen has absolutely no odor!! It is also great for acne prone skin, like I have. It does not break me out. My dermatologist had recommended I use this product and I found it on sale through LovelySkin website, win-win!

EltaMD UV Clear Broad-Spectrum SPF 46 Sunscreen - Untinted
I had never used sunscreen due to it being greasy and causing acne, until this wonderful product that does not cause acne, goes on smooth and protects my skin. I now use it daily to protect my skin and love it!

Great lightweight sunscreen
Lightly tinted, goes on smooth and hasn't caused any additional breakouts so far. So far, I really like it.

Doesn't cause breakouts
I use this sunscreen when I don't want to wear makeup because it doesn't leave a gray or white cast on my brown skin. It does leave it slightly shiny looking however, but I feel confident that it's protecting my skin from the harsh rays. It hasn't caused any type of breakouts whatsoever! It doesn't get five stars, because it contains a chemical sunscreen. In general it's a good product.

EltaMD UV Clear Broad-Spectrum SPF 46
Great consistency and great for acne prone skin!! It does not make my pores feel clogged and it goes on great over my daily moisturizer. The only reason why I am giving it 4 stars is because I wish it lasted longer. Directions say to reapply every 2 hours throughout the day.

great for sensitive skin
I have both acne and dry, sensitive skin, and my dermatologist suggested this as a combination skin-calming lotion + sunblock. First I used the original one, without tint, and then thought I'd try the tinted one. The consistency is still nice and light, and the color works with my slightly olive complexion. It can sometimes look a little greasy, and if you have broken veins or any redness, as I do, this coverage is too light to hide such blemishes. But it is still a really nice lotion that feels good on my skin.

Like it, more than love it
I really like how light weight it feels and it's not greasy at all. I've used other tinted SPF moisturizers and they would give me light cover up, but this one has no cover up. So, what I like about it is also what I don't. I haven't used it long enough to see how effective it is as a sunscreen or for my blemishes "acne". I've been using mineral powder with 15 spf on top for a little more "blemish" cover up.
