Reviews For EltaMD UV Elements Broad Spectrum SPF 44 Tinted Moisturizer
Pretty finish but slightly drying and warm
I was excited when I saw reviews of people saying this was too dark for them. I'm Phototype IV/MAC NC40 in depth, and while this sunscreen goes on a bit too light at first it oxidizes into the right depth. However, I have cool olive skin, and the undertone of this is a bit too peachy. It would work for someone whose true match is between NC35-42 I think. I use a bit of an olive powder on top, and it's passable but it does look like I'm wearing a slightly off foundation. I think if I was less particular about color it wouldn't be such an issue. I'm just very picky as I've gone through a journey with color cosmetics. In terms of formula, this is a cream that blends out beautifully. The color never separates, and the finish is satiny. It might be overly dewy for some but I don't think it's greasy at all. It doesn't look exactly like skin, but more like you're wearing some really nice skincare or foundation. Coverage is sheer but it doesn't disappear. I find this a bit drying on my dehydrated skin but not enough to stop using it. I think if you have very dry or very oily skin you won't like it, but anything in between could make it work. With powder it also doesn't transfer much, which makes me feel confident in its protective abilities due to the staying power. I love that it's a very basic yet elegant formula that's unlikely to cause problems unless you're particularly sensitive to mineral filters. I'm tired of sunscreens adding things like niacinamide or oils - sometimes basic is best.

Excellent
Really great sunscreen that blends well with my skin. kind of looks like I'm using a light coverage foundation which isn't the look I'm going for, but I can see it working for others that may appreciate this look. Also a small matter, but due to its water resistant nature, sweat beads up kinda weirdly if u do perspire - caution for people in more humid climates.

Nice
I love the UV Clear Tinted but I wanted to try this one since is Water Resistant. I liked it but I prefer the UV Clear version.

Not bad
This tinted motorized feels nice on the skin. It is a little tougher to rub in than other moisturizer I’ve used. Also it leaves my skin with a slight white cast but you can’t see it anymore after some time passes.

Best Bleaching Cream
This product was recommended to me by my dermatologist. After using 3 other products for my melasma problem, nothing seemed to help & I felt hopeless. The shamefulness of my spots & blemishes looked horrible on my face. This product has worked Miracles and I love it! It cleared a lot of the melasma and other parts were brightened up extremely. I would highly recommend this product.

Best mineral sunscreen
This mineral sunscreen has a light beige tint that magically matches my skin tone and a soft, silky texture. Some days this is the only makeup I wear. I have sensitive acne-prone skin and this sunscreen never causes irritation or breakouts. Love it!

Great tinted coverage!
I love all EltaMD products and this is no exception. It has good sunscreen coverage but the tint is perfect for everyday use.

Great product
Love EltaMD. The best facial sunscreen I've used. This product is thick. So with dry skin it could be not the best choice. Use the spf 46 by EltaMD.

A great lightly tinted high spf choice for face!
I’m 38 and have always been pretty good about using spf and wearing hats and sitting under the umbrella, etc BUT I am someone that is outdoors a lot and I get a lot of sun! Also I find it difficult to put on a high spf product early in the AM because they’re often heavy, greasy, or just not my favorite feeling first thing in the morning. This product is different! It feels like a high end skincare (because it is) and has a very light pleasant smell. It is not greasy at all but provides a good moisture dose, and it goes on well over hyaluronic acid serum. The color looks ashy pink at first but then blends in very evenly for a slightly matte (satin?) finish. Packs well for air travel. I used it in the Mediterranean this summer and it worked great even on the hottest, sweatiest days and while swimming (I did reapply in the afternoon).

I have been using this sunscreen for my face for several years. Love the tint, do not need to wear foundation. My face feels so smooth with this sunscreen. I do wear a moisturizer along with it just because my skin is so dry.

Great Protection!
This is my favorite sunscreen. The tint helps on makeup free days. I don't leave home without it.

Great product
I use this every day. I like the product. The tint is light. The reason for 4 stars is the pump... not a fan. It frequently needs to be primed. I would prefer a squeeze tube vs. pump.

This is a great mineral sunscreen!
I like this sunscreen because its hardly noticeable if at all. Also, the tint in the sunscreen helps hides blemishes and discoloration. It's great!

Excellent Sunscreen
Absolutely love this sunscreen! I have tried other EltaMD sunscreens and this one is my favorite. It’s very moisturizing, blends easily on the face and the tint is very compatible with my skin tone (medium). I am out in the sun throughout the day and have gotten very good protection with this even with my use of prescription Retin A. I highly recommend this product and will continue to purchase.

Best basic sunscreen!
This has a very clean feel on the face and I absolutely love the coverage! Gives a light/medium coverage and a nice glow that is perfect to run around town without feeling like you look dull without makeup on, I also appreciate the higher SPF than most tinted sunscreens! Always will have this sunscreen on hand!

I adore this
This is the only sunscreen ever in my life that doesn't break me out. I'm so thankful for it and hope they continue to make it. I love the tint because it gives a bit of coverage. I do wish it had a bit more of a tan shade (darker) to the tint to match my tan skin, but other than that its great.
