Reviews For EltaMD UV Clear Broad Spectrum SPF 46 Facial Sunscreen
Meh, drying for me
I loved the tint of this sunscreen, and the fact that I could use it in lieu of makeup during the day. However, after a few days of my skin would get so dry. I had to stop using it. It's probably a good product for someone with oily skin.

Coverage and sunscreen
I use this for days when I'll be outside walking, working in the yard or at the beach. It provides decent coverage and, most importantly, sunscreen. I have had issues with it not staying put as much as I'd like, and I've experienced some eye irritation when wearing in extreme heat, as it sweats and gets to close to my eyes.

Just ok
The consistency was a little too thin for my preference. Color was good.

Disappointed
I’ve been struggling with acne/combination skin that is sensitive to many products. I’ve been searching for a daily sunscreen product that serves as a moisturizer. This product leaves my skin dry if I do not use a moisturizer with it. My acne has not improved. I have not shown any sensitivity to it, which is a plus. In conclusion, this product is not serving the purpose that I bought it for other than providing sun protection.

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.

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.

Not for me
This product goes on nicely but I can not wear it. It's way too dark for my skin. It has a definite warm tone. I wish EltaMD would make it also in a cool tone. I have a fairly light complexion but most other universal tints in other brands are fine for me. I was so wanting for this to work. I'll go back to the untinted one.

Elta UV Clear Tinted *****
Elta UV Clear Sunscreen Tinted is a very good product. Gives just enough tint in the summer and I use it in the winter with a little face make-up. Elta has enough spf coverage and I like the zinc oxide too. Have been using these products for years from LovelySkin and will continue to do so in the future.

not good for acne
unfortunately this makes me break out. I gave it to my mom. My esthetcian actually confirmed that she has heard this is not so good for those with acne. I am going back to skinceuticals uv physical defense.

Clear in the product name does not mean "untinted"
I LOVE this product in the untinted version. The tinted color is suitable for fair skin - more pink than yellow.

Great consistency, not so great for acne
I bought this at my dermatologist's office at first and have been using it for 3+ months now. Great consistency, goes well under makeup and I don't even need a moisturizer over it most of the time. However, not so great for the acne. I have sensitive, acne-prone skin and I've been breaking out ever since I started using this. Not deep, hormonal acne, but surface pimples. I would come home every day with at least 3-4 new pimples and I thought I was losing my mind. I finally stopped using it and, viola - immediately stopped breaking out. So sad, especially considering it's supposedly made for those of us with acne.

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.

Tint color doesnt apply evenly
Have tried samples of this and always liked it, however the bottle I just ordered goes on very patchy with the tinted color. Its not overly noticeable inside with poor lighting- I noticed it when I was outside in the sun- my skin was splotchy with the color. Very disappointed. Otherwise I really like the product. Just dont buy the tinted version.

Beware the most sensitive
I had ordered this to wear in Hawaii. My face promptly went nuts. I so badly wanted it to work and be my one and only sunscreen love. Oh well, worked great on my neck and other body parts!

Didnt work on my face
Id tried another eltamd spf before (with Hyaluronic acid) and had liked it very much. This one is great in terms of application and consistency (no stickiness, white cast, shine, etc), but after a few seconds my face turned red. I continued using it on my neck and chest, but it reacted badly on my face everytime. Dont know why, because it contains the same ingredients of another sunscreen Id bought and that one was fine. Probably just my body chemistry. Love the eltamd sunscreens though and would continue buying the others!

Wanted to love it..too bad
Elta MD is okay. Wanted to use this as my every day moisturizer Leaves my skin VERY oil. I have to be very careful with the amount of this product I out on my face. Too much leaves a white film on my face makes me look like I just took off clown makeup. Too Little, makes my skin look dry and peeling. Love the amount of SPF, but I will probably only use this when I’m doing outdoor activities, going to the beach/pool or island vacation.

Better than most...
Frankly, I find all sunscreen products (that supposedly work) rather uncomfortable to wear... I'm convinced if they have those zinc coating ingredients then it will feel like baby diaper Desitin on your face. Remember that stuff! ;-)

Thin but...
This is quite thin but shiny and slimy feeling. For the price it will do the job.

Goes on great. Not greasy but my very sensitive skin gets slightly irritated with it. I'm still looking for a sunscreen that doesn't irritate my skin.
