Reviews For EltaMD UV Clear Broad Spectrum SPF 46 Facial Sunscreen
Great sunscreen
My dermatologist recommended this facial screen after doing a chemical peel and I am so glad she did! It's lightweight and easy to apply. It doesn't make my face white like other physical sunscreens do. It provides great sun protection. It's a great product!

A must have...
My dermatologist recommended this product and I'm glad I decided to purchase it. I don't get the white cast from the sunblock and it also doesn't leave me oily (which has always been an issue with other sunscreens). This will definitely be a favorite go-to sunscreen of mine.

Unacceptably streaky
The tint doesnt dry evenly on your face. It looks okay at first but then a few minutes later its splotchy. I am Latina and have olive skin so I imagine the effect would be even worse on paler skin. Maybe I got a poorly mixed batch?

Excellent SPF for everyday use
I use this SPF everyday on patients as it is great for sensitive, post procedure skin. It's very moisturizing and makeup applies wonderfully after application. My only complaint is the temporary change in the pump but it still works well.

EltaMD UV Clear sunscreen
Love that it is non-greasy and covers quite easily without any shine. Cannot even tell I'm wearing anything at all. Great under my makeup!

So glad Ive tried this
I waited until my bottle was almost empty before reviewing, and Im buying it again! No breakouts, no extremes of dryness or greasiness ( I do apply lightweight moisturizer underneath this- my skin is dry AND prone to breakouts ), the pump dispenser works very well to control the amount I want to use, and the sunscreen actives did not bother me at all. I like how it feels, and Im amazed at how invisible this product is on my skin. I am very happy with Lovely Skins service and easy-to-navigate site. So satisfying to find an essential skin care item that WORKS!

I like it a lot
Facial sunscreen lotions are always greasy on my skin and tend to make me break out, this one is perfect. I really like it and it has this strange yet agreeable scent.

I like it, but its not perfect
The texture feels light. While it does not seem to add moisture, it doesnt dry my skin, either. It does not sting my eyes. I like that it has a high percentage of zinc oxide, though if I look carefully, a faint tinge of white is evident on my medium skin. My main complaint is that I cannot layer it over SkinMedica C+E serum. Ive experimented with varying amounts and dry-times of the serum, but I think the ingredients (probably the silicones) just dont meld well and instead create particles on my face that are not easily brushed away. On clean, bare skin, I do like this product.

Streaky!!
I was so excited about this product. It goes on nicely and makes my skin feel very smooth, but I cant use it! It leaves tinted streaks all across my face. I dont know if I got a bad batch or what but Im very disappointed :( but the color and texture are very nice. I think Ill try the UV Clear untinted instead.

Best SPF for Acne Prone Skin
Ive used this product for many years at the recommendation of my dermatologist. Ive used countless other SPFs but always return to this one. It is extremely light, pleasant feeling, and improves the appearance of the skin. The only con is the expense but I wait until its on sale to purchase then stock up.

My Ultimate Everyday Wear
I love, love, love this sunscreen. I use it as an everyday moisturizer. I love the fact it is tinted and I can use it as a quick run around town makeup, but it is clean and clear and not thick and messy like regular makeup and it is easy to wash off at the end of the day, plus it gives me the added protection my derm. is always reminding me about ("dont forget sunscreen").

Beautiful finish with no irritation or breakouts
Ive been using the EltaMD UV Clear sunscreen for the past few years and will continue to repurchase. I have very sensitive skin with rosacea and this sunscreen has never caused irritation or breakouts. I was initially drawn to it because it contains a good amount of niacinamide, an ingredient I was interested in for its ability to even skin tone and lighten pigmentation. This is a sunscreen I use on days where I have incidental exposure to sun, not for a day at the beach. I use sunscreens with a higher level of protection for days in the sun. A major plus for the UV Clear, aside from amazingly never causing a single breakout or spot, is the finish it leaves on my skin. I know the product is described as matte, but I get a more natural look that I would consider almost luminous. Dont be scared! Its no highlighter and there are no glittery particles. I just know I look more "alive" with the soft finish it provides. In the summer I can use this with nothing underneath but in cooler months it is crucial that I wear a moisturizer. That said, I do not believe UV Clear is a drying formula, it is just not especially moisturizing. I would prefer to moisturize underneath when needed anyway. If you have sensitive skin and are not irritated by niacinamide, this product is definitely worth checking out.

My All Time Favorite
Ive tried them all and keep coming back to this product for excellent, lightweight, every day broad spectrum sun protection. This is the one that wont leave a white grease slick on your skin. My derm loves it, my husband (who hates sunscreen) loves it, and I love it. If you dont like it enough to use it every day, it wont work, and this stuff works.

Non greasy sunscreen
This sunscreen is the best, it is not greasy at all and drys fast! I use it every morning before my makeup. I am also acne prone and it doesnt make me breakout al all!

Recommended by name by my dermatologist
I started buying this product from my dermatologist, but its more convenient and less expensive to buy it from LovelySkin. Ive had two fractional CO2 laser resurfacing treatments and my plastic surgeon insisted on knowing what brand of sunscreen I would be using after the treatment, as my skin would be left unable to protect itself after the treatment. He was pleased that I was using this product and told me to continue using it daily, rain or shine, for the rest of my life. I have fair, sensitive skin and this doesnt burn or go on sticky. It doesnt look like Im wearing sunscreen and I use it as my AM moisturizer for most of the year and add a moisturizer on top of the EltaMD, when my skin feels extra dry. I buy 2 when they go on sale, since I cant be without it.

Best sunscreen
I have tried many different facial sunscreens. Most leave a white tint and a sticky residue. Not this one! Its texture is more like a beauty treatment. Hydrates the skin wonderfully and leave no white tint. I highly recommend it!

good job but not a substitute for base
I have sensitive skin and find this product to be reasonable gentle and very easy to apply. While it is tinted does not cover imperfections in the skin or leave a bit of color. However, it does not leave a white film like other sun screens. Nice product a little more gentle on sensitive skin than other brands.
