Good sunblock, but too greasy for my skin
I'd been using EltaMD UV Shield Broad-Spectrum SPF 45 Oil-Free on my face and backs of hands for many years, recommended to me by the plastic surgeon who removed a very large pre-cancerous legion from the back of my hand. I'm in my 70's and have somewhat dry but sensitive skin and found it worked great for both applications, even on top of hyaluronic acid as well as moisturizer prior to application. It's recently been discontinued so tried EltaMD's untinted UV Clear Broad-Spectrum SPF 46 Sunscreen instead. It may well be just me, but I found it to feel oily/greasy upon application and found the smell annoying, though others might not be troubled by it. The smell disappears over time but I found it to be off-putting. I'm moving on to trying other of EltaMD's sunscreens because I believe highly in the brand - this one just this one wasn't the right one for me.

Pretty Good
This is my first time using this product because the sunscreen product l was regularly using was discontinued. This is a good product, but because l have sensitive skin, it was a little too strong for me at first. Also a few pimples appeared in the beginning but went away. I have continued using it, since my skin seemed to calm down from its use, however l have not noticed any improved appearance of my skin with the extra ingredients in this product. Once this product is used up, l will start using the Elta MD Clear Broad Spectrum 46 Sunscreen that does not have all the extra ingredients and formulated for acne prone skin.

Product is good but the packaging could be better
This is my second time purchasing this sunscreen, but this time the product exploded inside the cap before I ever opened it. Some product was sadly wasted. Other than that I do enjoy this sunscreen and how lightweight it feels on the skin.

It's Okay
This sunscreen is okay. It isn’t my holy grail because it starts to pill around my jaw and forehead and also when I reapply it. Based on the price I think there are better options. I do like that it didn’t break me out and had a slight white cast. It also helped with my redness.

Good but not my favorite
I really enjoy the sport version of this sunscreen more than this one.

Caused Irritation for Sensitive Skin
First time purchasing tinted Elta MD. Was recommended to try tinted to add an extra layer of protection. After using multiple times, discovered it left my face stinging when my body temperature would rise. Love the brand, but this one particular did not work for me.

It’s alright
I have nothing bad to say about this product. I expected it to be a lot better considering the ratings it has…. It is not very tinted at all when rubbed in… it really is no different than the non tinted in my opinion. It’s alright though it gets the job done!

Shiny!
I wanted to love this so badly. I have combination/oily t-zone and acne-prone skin. The sounded like a godsend. Unfortunately, it leaves me SO shiny after application. I’ve even sat in front of a fan to try to dry it. I’ve tried with and without my normal serums underneath to see if there’s a difference. The tint is great, but I hate how oily/shiny it makes me look. It has a very thin, wet consistency.

EltaMD UV Clear
This is a great sunscreen with excellent ingredients, but it did not work for my skin. I have very sensitive, acne-prone skin and unfortunately I got breakouts while using this. I won't repurchase.

Nice product but burned eyes
I did initially really like this product. It went on nice and light and rubbed in easily. I did after a couple hours notice it was sort of peeling off and flaking which felt not great. I wore it for about a month and it also made my eyes burn so badly every time I would shower, regardless of if I had tried to get it off prior to getting into the shower. I ended up sticking with my Supergoop spf instead.

I wanted to love this...
I wanted to love this product, I truly did. It's extremely difficult to find a sunscreen that works for your skin. I purchased this based on it's fantastic reviews. I found it to be very thick and it made my face feel sticky and dirty. I am actually giving it away. On the plus side, I did not find it to be comedogenic. Also on the plus side it is efficacious. It's a personal thing and really has to do with texture. It's not anything I'd even attempt to wear under make up.

Fairly Good sunscreen
This seems to do the job. I just feel like Elta wants you to put a lot on your skin. If you follow what they recommend you’re supposed to use the barrier renewal, am lotion and then the sunscreen. It can be hard to apply makeup afterwards. I’ve noticed in the summer months especially July my skin can have an oily shine to it.

Ok sunscreen
Effective sunscreen, just wish it wasn't so oily and the only downfall is that it pills way too much. Don't recommend wearing under makeup.

Not as good as regular version
This tinted formulation does not sit as evenly, or absorb as well, as the non-tinted version.

Good product but makes me dry
It goes on nicely & clears up after about 3min but it makes my skin feel & look dry. My skin sometimes peels & has ashy spots after wearing for a while. This sucks b/c I really want to love this product b/c I feel it is a very good product. I just wish I didn’t look & feel dry after putting it on. And I put it on after cleansing, serums, & moisturizer. Oh & don’t get it on your hair, it’s kind of hard to rub out.

Great formula but it has a white cast
I usually buy the tinted version and made the mistake of buying the regular version. I thought the sunblock would go on clear. The formula lightens my face in an unnatural way and leaves a white cast (I have a light tan). This bottle of sunblock will be sitting in my drawer unused, unfortunately.

Works but not for me
I like that this product goes on nicely and is not thick and gooey like some others I have tried. It also soaks right in and does not leave any white area or color. However I do not think I can use it. It causes me to have small pimples every time I use it. May be because I have large pores and sensitive skin. I will keep looking for a product that works.

Stings a bit, great/even coverage though
Like to use thins primarily under my eyes and on my cheeks as I use it as a pseudo concealer. I use the untinted version all over the rest of my face. This one stings and doesn’t dry me out. So I don’t mind it completely. I know my skin is sensitive to higher spfs. Overall would recommend despite the stinging. Melts into skin and isn’t greasy.

EltaMD
A little confused by this product. Was really excited about all the amazing reviews and had to try it! From what I can tell it did nothing. Love the prices of this brand but unfortunately I didn’t see or get the results others were claiming. If you just need a sunscreen though and nothing else...then this works great for that and has a good texture.
