Reviews For EltaMD UV Glow Broad Spectrum SPF 36
Disappointed
I have been using Elta MD facial sunscreen for a few years. Recently when I switched to the Glow I noticed that eventually the cream seems to separate from whatever oils are in the cream which makes it very difficult to apply. I have also used the Elta MD Restore version and have not had a problem with that one, guess I will start using that one again. I wanted to give the Glow a try.

Too thick and the tint rubs off on everything
I had previously used the EltaMD UV Clear Broad-Spectrum SPF 46 Sunscreen - Tinted and liked it but wanted to try a mineral option. This is much thicker that the UV Clear which makes it difficult to spread over your face. I also don't like that the tint rubs off of all my clothes. The UV Clear version did not do that.

Not what I expected
I bought this after receiving a sample in the mail and it seems like a different product or formulation. Much thicker and has a different smell. I wouldn't order it again.

Missed the mark
I love Elta M.D., but not this formulation. I had high hopes for the "glow" but instead I glow like a ghost! The white cast is terrible and my foundation pills. Back to the clear formulation for me. That one is the best.

Nice Glow
I too was excited to try this product. It did give a nice glow and I did like that about the product but the consistency was difficult to apply and thick.

Disappointed
I was excited to try this as I’ve been using the Tinted Suns screen for years and was very pleased with its Dewey look. Thought I’d try this and see if it was any better. Seemed dryer and not as easy to apply. Also didn’t have the same sheen.

Not my favorite
I love love love most EltaMD sunscreens but this was a big miss for me. I thought it would make my complexion glowy but instead it leaves a thick white cast. No matter how much I rub it in and let it dry down. It’s still a white shadow on my face. It really makes you pale looking in photos also. Will be sticking to my usual UV clear.

Not a fan
I don’t like the texture, it’s like I’m putting mud on my face. Then my face has a nice glow like the product title says, and I will say I like the bronzy look it gives, however, my face seems to shiny with it on. It’s not a silky lotion consistency, but kind of thick and a little does not go a long way compared to the EltaMD tinted SPF 46 like I had before (which I like much better). I didn’t think before purchasing that the SPF difference would make the product so different, but I recommend the EltaMD UV *clear tinted SPF 46*, not this one

Glow didn't last on very dry skin
My skin is very dry and sensitive with rosacea. While this didn't aggravate me at all, I found the formula drying. It also left a white cast (my skin is fair), and the glow was short-lived. I ended up returning this product and looking for something more hydrating.

Not recommended.
It was super thick and left my face all white. Took a long time of rubbing to make it blend in with my skin. Might as well use it on my body instead of my face. Not worth $36.50

Not for me
I’m a long time lover of the EltaMD Clear but this is the complete opposite. It’s way too thick and makes your whole face white. I’ll be purchasing Clear again instead
