Reviews For EltaMD UV Elements Broad Spectrum SPF 44 Tinted Moisturizer
Good tinted sunscreen, but a bit irritating for me
For some reason, this product irritated my contact dermatitis-prone skin. Additionally, it is a tint that works best for medium-tones. I have medium-light skin and it was a bit too dark. Otherwise, it definitely has potential for others!

Great, not perfect
Gorgeous formulation - silky to apply and actually moisturizes the skin. I chose this version over the other comparable tinted EltaMD options due to the inclusion of niacinamide, which is better for sensitive and/or acne-prone skin. I love the tint - no white cast and mild coverage for discoloration. Not quite 5 stars as unfortunately it dries slightly, slightly orange. Not enough for me to discontinue use but I may consider other options when repurchasing. I am a pink-undertoned light-skinned female in my late 20s.

Great product
Love this product. It's creamy and not drying as other sunscreens can be. The tint is very slight and goes well under makeup. Also, a little goes a long way.

Elta MD Broad-Spectrum SPF 44 Facial Sunscreen
Overall, it's a great 100% physical sunscreen. Tinted version has good coverage and pretty easy to spread on face. I just hope it has a little more shine like SPF 46. I found out I need to store it cap side down instead of sideway, or the lotion won't come out.

So Far So Good
I have only tried this a few times, but I do like the tint color and how easily it blends into your skin. I think it'll be great once the summer months are here.

I prefer normal SPF 46
I usually use the "classic" SPF 46 but thought I´d try this tinted version. While it was almost as good as the non-tinted EltaMD (which I would rate five stars), I couldn´t perceive any real benefit/coverage from the tint and I didn´t like the slightly more matte finish of this version. I´ll go right back to the SPF 46 and use makeup on top of that when I want more coverage.

Really good but not tinted very much
I like this mineral sunscreen a lot. It's non drying on my skin. It leaves a slight matte finish. I just wish they'd put more tint in it as there's not enough to counter the white cast it leaves on my medium skin. It looks like I used white finishing powder on my skin but it's not as bad as an untinted sunscreen.

EltaMD UV Elements Broad- Spectrum SPF 44 Tinted Sunscreen
I purchased this sunscreen based on several positive reviews from YouTube bloggers. I was specifically looking for a mineral sunscreen that would not irritate my eyes and work well under foundation. I am happy this product achieved both! I gave it 4 stars because the pump dispenser did not work, I have to unscrew the top to use it. The tinted color is too light for my light medium complexion. I would love to have this product available in other shades slightly darker than this one.

Great sun protection
This sunscreen provides great physical protection. It does not make my skin shiny or dry. One star off because it is slightly too dark for my medium skin tone, but I mix it with their untinted sunscreen to get a good match.

Great for acne prone skin
This sunscreen went on smooth and didn’t cause a breakout. The only reason I removed a star was for the packaging. The pump doesn’t work very well and takes a little bit of shaking and holding in different directions to get it to come out.

Nice face sunscreen
Good but I don't understand the tint... it doesn't do anything. Not noticeable on face but gets on cloth.

Great for the skin
I can tell my skin really enjoys the hydration. It’s brighter than other tinted I’ve used. I prefer it as a backup and am still looking for a reliable matte finish.

Feels good on the skin
This didn't cause breakouts and it was fairly water resistant. Felt nice on the skin, not greasy or chalky. The tint is not obvious.

I have used this for several years now. The consistency & color is perfect. In winter, I use this during the day as my “make up” with a little mineral powder over. It is lightweight but moisturizing. I put a serum on and then just this. I took off a star because it can get a bit shiny during the day, so I have found I have to blot my face a lot... less so if I use the powder on top. I use a different, higher spf, cream in the summer that is more mattifying.

Spreads well and quickly
I like how the texture feels - it's smooth like a gel, and spreads quickly. It's not greasy at all, and tint is subtle.

Good color smooth application
The first application goes on nicely, but subsequent applications start looking a bit dry. Of course it’s winter so it hasn’t been tested by the serious sun in Florida but so far it seems to keep me from tanning. I’ve started mixing it with moisturizer and that seems to work better for my skin.

Nice Sunscreen
Good % on Zinc oxide and Titanium oxide. Very easy to apply on the face. and moisturizing. However, the color is bit too brown. I mix it with my other tint sunscreen to make a perfect color.

Better than expected
I was a bit skeptical about the rave reviews for this sunscreen. I had never had any luck with any of the previous sunscreens I had tried but with this one I was pleasantly surprised. Great bendable color, no pilling, and I feel protected wearing it. Great sunscreen for brown skin. I will definitely repurchase.

Lap Swimmer
I love this product. I wear it everyday on top of my Theraplex moisturizer and Replenix green tea cream. I don't like to wear makeup so I consider it to be my makeup and skin protectant all-in-one. On the days when I'm lazy or in a rush and don't put it on - there is a noticeable difference as my face mask rubs on my bare skin and feels like sandpaper. I wear it all year long. It provides great coverage at the pool and I never lap-swim without it. It hides my Rosacea redness and makes my skin look really nice and healthy. ( I have purchased this numerous times. The only reason that I am giving it a 4 star rating is because the pump doesn't work and I have to unscrew the cap and tap the product onto my fingertips - this makes application annoying and messy. Please fix this eltaMD. )

Elta MD Very nice product.
The product itself is excellent. Covers easily and my skin is protected. No burning and the tint is nice. My only complaint is the delivery of the product. I could not give that fifth star because you have to prime the pump and when you do it squirts out and is wasteful or just messy. If it was just once that wouldn’t be such a issue but it happens often.It’s easier to unscrew the lid. I just think for the price I shouldn’t have to do that. I will say lovelyskin.com customer service has been more than helpful and very fair making sure I was completely satisfied. That was nice!
