Smooth coverage that also helps with acne
This sunscreen does a great job of protecting sensitive skin from the elements while also delivering a double dose of silky, smooth ingredients that help with mild acne. The tint is ever-so slight and doesn't overpower coverage. I'm giving it four stars instead of five for the following reason: I use a exfoliating lotion and when I also use the Elta MD product, it tends to flake quite badly and that's even with allowing the exfoliator to dry completely. If I don't use the exfoliating lotion, this doesn't happen BUT I do have to make sure that I've let the Elta sunscreen dry completely before applying any other products or make up. All in all - I love the Elta MD brand for it's ability to protect, to help with mild acne, and to give smooth coverage.

Love hate relationship
I LOVE the ingredients in this sunscreen. It works really well for my sensitive, acne prone skin. The reason I rate it 4 instead of 5 stars is because sometimes this pills over other skincare, and it doesn’t always wear well under make up. I prefer using this on no makeup days

I like it
I like this sunscreen. This is my first time buying it and it has NOT made me break out! The tint doesn’t really do much of anything but when applying the sunscreen goes on nicely. Reason for 4 stars and not 5 is that I wish it was more Moisturizing. It doesn’t dry out our skin but it doesn’t moisturize either.

Good protection without the whitness
A great sunscreen without the white cast. Not moisturizing but can easily be used over a moisturizer.

Nice sunscreen
My skin feels nice and it doesn’t leave a cast. One star off because it does pill if not used alone.

Untinted sunscreen
Love this sunscreen. Use it every single day. Goes on easily; not at all greasy. I use a pump of this along with a pump of the tinted version to better match my skin tone. (The tinted is too dark used alone for me; the untinted is too white.) Wish they would make a lighter shade of the tinted version. Until then (?!), this works for me.

Almost Perfect
Goes on like a really nice moisturizer and doesn't have a strong or lasting sunscreen smell, but it will leave a white cast. Out of all the sunscreens I've tried, the EltaMD UV Clear Broad-Spectrum is probably the best, but what's with the white cast? There are other sunscreens out there that protect from both UVA and UVB rays and don't leave a white cast... I'm very pale, so it's not too bad, but those with darker skin tones should probably steer clear unless you're going to cover with makeup!

Perfect spf for the summer
I love this sunscreen for the summer times. It’s matte and protects my skin perfectly. The niacinamide help with my breakouts. For the winter time I feel like this is not hydrating enough and a bit drying.

Good sunscreen
I love this spf, but for me the tint was a bit too shiny. I prefer the non tinted version as it’s is the same but without the tint. It’s a good spf that dries matte therefore I wouldn’t recommend if you have super dry skin.

Good Product
One of the best sunscreens I've tried. Sometimes I have a problem with it pilling before I even get it rubbed in all the way, but still better than most sunscreens ive tried.

I like it, but I’ve ordered two that have had issues with the pump
I have ordered EltaMD for a few years... I super love it, its my fav! Face isn’t greasy, it really does get rid of the redness, but I have had 2 (including my most recent purchase here) where the pump has issues working (hence minus a star), but you really can’t get a better sunscreen for the face.

Good
Came highly recommend and does a good job. I only wish it provided a bit more coverage but this works as a good base for my foundation and concealer.

Almost Perfect!
I understand why so many people love this sunscreen. It feels elegant, absorbs quickly, does not leave a white cast, and does not cause breakouts. However, I have found that applying serums and/or moisturizers beforehand can cause the sunscreen to pill. Therefore, I like to use this sunscreen by itself to avoid any pilling. It is usually moisturizing enough for my oily skin, but I switch to a different sunscreen when my skin feels drier.

Best sunscreen I've found so far
It doesn't break me out and I have really sensitive skin. The sunscreen was recommended to me by my dermatologist years ago and I've been using it ever since. I'm glad LovelySkin carries it. I wear it daily and the bottle lasts a long time. It has a bit of a white cast to it, not the worst, but it does make my skin a little pale when I put it on which is the only reason I'm giving it 4/5 stars.

My go-to
I experiment with different sunscreens, but I always come back to EltaMD 46 and keep a bottle around. It’s fragrance free, non irritating, moisturizing without being greasy, and from everything I’ve read has beneficial ingredients. I do have a concern about the octinoxate in it, which is why I experiment with other formulations and why I gave it 4 stars.

Good sunscreen
Protect the skin from the sun, it didn't give me any breakouts but it does have little white cast. I really like the pump it comes in - very nice to use.

Great sunscreen
This is a great product to wear alone or under makeup. It is tinted, but the coverage is pretty light. Doesn't feel greasy or heavy, and for days that I'm not looking to wear a face full of makeup it's perfect to wear alone. I have combination/acne prone skin and it doesn't cause breakouts.
