Reviews For EltaMD UV Clear Broad Spectrum SPF 46 Facial Sunscreen
My favorite sunscreen!
I have tried several different brands of sunscreen over the past 20 years. Some of them were recommended by dermatologist, and that list includes EltaMD sunscreen. It becomes my favorite sunscreen because it's not oily, but my skin stays moist. It doesn't leave any white residue, and it feels light. Most importantly, it is scent free.

Works well, color is lighter than UV elements, darker than UV physical
This sunscreen works well but is just a bit dark for fair skin. Reducing the amount will sheer out the color, but also reduce sun protection. Personally, I mix it with the untinted version, and the color turns out much better. This tinted color is somewhere between the EltaMD UV physical (lightest) and UV elements (darkest of the three, and is more orangey). It's a pity because I love UV element's texture (very moisturizing) but hate the orange color. UV physical's color is just right, but the texture is way too dry for my dry skin. UV clear is an okay compromise, but I cannot use it around my eyes due to chemical UV filter.

Nice texture
This is easy to apply and is easily absorbed. Just wish there was more product for the cost.

ABSOULETLY LOVE IT
This is my 10th order. I have used all the ELTA sunscreens and alternate depending on my skin in the a.m. If I need more hydration I turn to this. Once applied, wait 10 minutes, it will turn to a matte finish. Never breaks me out..

My sister-in-law got a recommendation for this product from her esthetician. I ordered it after she told me she loved. I love it too. Goes on smooth...not greasy and gives skin a nice glow. Price is right too.

Good facial cream
I have been using EltaMD UV Clear Broad-Spectrum SPF 46 Sunscreen - Untinted for some years now. It is good as an everyday cream–I use it during the summer days to avoid getting sun spots and also during the winter while I practice winter sports.

Love this Product
My dermatologist suggest using tinted sunblock, since I have melasma. I just started using it a month ago. I think it does help my skin a lot.

overall, a nice sunscreen
This sunscreen would be perfect if it was water-resistant and matte. It left a sheen which I did not care for. Living in Hawaii, I didn't feel secure wearing this sunscreen during the hot summer, as it would just melt off with sweat. It would probably work for the very short, less hot Hawaii winters. Otherwise, it felt lightweight and pleasant.

Tinted Sunscreen
I have used the Elta MD Sunscreen for a few years and love the product. I tried the tinted sunscreen, knowing it would provide some color, which would be good for days when I don't really want foundation. Unfortunately, the color made my skin have a red tinge about it. The product still felt fine, but it didn't give me that slight tan glow I was hoping for. So, I'm going back to the untinted version.

Skincare staple
This is the best sunscreen I have found so far, and I have used sunscreen daily for more than 30 years. It is not thick or white, but covers well and doesn't really smell like anything. It also pairs well with most other products. It may pill if I rub at it, but only while wearing certain antioxidants underneath. It even disappears into my eyebrows, which is a huge plus. It will be hard to win me over to another product.

Sun Protection with a smile...
I read about this product in the Wall Street Journal, an article that I felt was fair and unbiased. There are many things I like about this product: 1) easy to apply from a dispenser so that you can control amount of product you want to use. 2) contains a slight tint which compliments my skin tone. 3) It's non-greasy and goes on smoothly 4) since I am in my 70s and admit to wrinkles, this product doesn't settle in the wrinkles, but blends into my skin. 5) most importantly, it protects my skin well from further sun damage. I have ordered this product twice and will continue to do so.

Best Sunscreen especially for sensitive skin
I have been using Elta MD Clear for years now. I recently developed numerous severe topical allergies, possibly in response to a newly diagnosed immune disorder, and had to give up most of my skin care products due to preservatives, fragrance, and other common allergens. Thankfully, this is one of the few topical products approved for me by Mayo Clinic and their Safe Skin app. Over the years UV Clear has not only provided great sun protection, but it has greatly reduced my melasma and prevented the development of new patches on my face, especially my cheeks and chin. I highly recommend this product.

EltaMd UV Clear Broad Spectrum SPF 46 (Untinted)
I have combination to dry skin with yellow skin tone. EltaMD UV Clear Broad-Spectrum SPF 46 is light, not sticky and absorbs fast. It includes niacinamide, so I use it as a moisturizer during the day. Because I have used different sunscreens with different ingredients, I noticed that sunscreen with up to 9% of zinc oxide won't leave a white cast. Thanks to LovelySkin for listing all ingredients for their products, and it has helped me understand what I am buying from them.

I have been using this sunscreen for over a year and really like it. It is oil-free and doesn't cause my skin to breakout. The tint matches my skin very well. I use it daily and highly recommend it.

not for me.
I wanted to love this so much. But after trying it twice (months between the two attempts), I’ve finally decided this sunscreen is not for me. I’m sensitive acne prone, and this sunscreen breaks me out. After one day using it, my face had a lot of tiny little pimples and some cystic acne. I’ll give my bottle to a friend, she loves it. I use the skinmedica mineral shield spf 32 now. It’s made for sensitive post procedure skin.

I hate trying new beauty products
I don't like trying new beauty products because I have dry, sensitive and acne-prone skin. Every time I change up my routine, I usually break out. My brother recommended this product to me and insisted I wouldn't break out. The first few times I tried it, I felt a tingling sensation (most likely due to the zinc oxide). It made me nervous it would be too harsh for my skin, but after a few more uses, I never felt the tingling sensation again. And guess what! It DID NOT MAKE ME BREAKOUT. Hallelujah! I like using this moisturizer over other ones because: 1. High SPF (I trust this brand over other brands that claim to have a high SPF but have been known to fall short on their claims) 2. It doesn't seem to dry me out or make me oily. 3. It works really well under makeup. 4. A little goes a long way. It's a little pricey but I feel like it lasts 4x longer than other moisturizers I've used in the past. Hopes this helps. I was not given this product for free nor was I paid for this review. I'm just thorough and love finding good products that don't break me out. Please don't discontinue this one!
