Reviews For EltaMD UV Clear Broad Spectrum SPF 46 Facial Sunscreen
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.

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.

Works.....but made skin slimy feeling.
Went on easy. Protected from sun. Made my clean face feel slimy for hours.

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.

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.

Not bad
I wasn't totally disappointed, but I did find another sunscreen after this one that I loved better. I use this as a back-up sunscreen to the preferred one I use.

A bit too warm for my fair complexion
I found this product to be very hydrating without leaving any oily residue on my skin--although the consistency worked for me, the tint wasn't ideal for me. I have a very fair more neutral/cool complexion, and I found this tint to be a bit too yellow-y for me. It was pretty sheer so I was able to use up the bottle and just layered my own makeup on top of it, but I wouldn't repurchase.

Oily, greasy, made my face feel hot
So, I used to really like this product. It left a satin finish on my skin. But now, it makes my face look greasy and there is absolutely no satin finish. I could handle that if it didn't make my rosacea flare. My face always feel hot when using this. I do not think it's a bad product. Everyone has different reactions. But it doesn't work for me anymore

I really like it but I don't know if it is for my type of skin
I put this product after my skin care routine it irritates my skin and make its even dryer. Apart from that I love the texture, it does not leave white sunblock spots and it does not have any smell either.

Okay.
I like this sunscreen however it can leave a residue or kind of “peel” off when I used it with my other products. I’m not a huge fan of it for that reason. I also generally have lotion/makeup on with SPF so I felt like this was kind of a waste of my money.
