A Little Too Sticky
Love how this looks, but it's a bit thick and sticky on your face. I used it in the Caribbean and while I didn't get burned at all, I did get more color than I expected considering how often I reapplied this. Not in love w/ this one.

Not my favorite eltamd but good product
Glow is not my favorite elta sunscreen--it is thicker than other elta's. But a very good sunscreen according to my doctor.

EltaMD UV Glow Broad Spectrum SPF 36
I love the Glow from within from this product! The application is a bit thick but once you work it in it has a lovely glow and the sun protection and quality I have come to expect and appreciate from EltaMD!

My favorite "glow sunscreen"
I have tried a few different "glow" sunscreens from different brands recently and this one is by far my favorite. When I put it all over my face, it highlights all the areas that I would want to be highlighted (cheek bones, brow bones, inner corners of eyes etc) while still looking natural. It also gives slightly more coverage than other elta md suncreens. Couple of things I dislike though: 1. A lot of people have said the consistency is too sticky and thick...I agree with this. Other elta md suncreens like uv daily and uv clear go on much smoother and feel much nicer to apply. 2. If you have dark eyebrows like I do...when it gets on my eyebrows and it leaves little gold specs of mica (the ingredient that makes it glowy). Not super noticeable but not ideal.

Elta is Good Brand
This is a good facial sunscreen. The light tint makes it a possibility to wear alone without any makeup. It is thick and can be worn for swimming, walking etc. but I do not recommend wearing it under makeup.

Want to love it.
At first the texture is thick and tacky, once it has time to absorb the glow it gives is really pretty. Need to exfoliate before wearing or it will pill.

Good mineral for fair skin
It's thick but protective as expected for physical sunscreen. Does not irritate my face/chest skin. Would surely leave a white layer on darker skin tones. Use sparingly and pat on rather than rub.

Love EltaMD SPF Products
I love every EltaMD product I have tried over many years and I also love the fact that it is one of the most consistently recommended spf lotions by dermatologists wherever I go. I like this one because it is mineral-based and many of the other formulas out on the market have been recalled because of toxicity concerns. This one goes on a little thicker than the other Elta products I have used and leaves more of a white sheen which I have to work at to get absorbed. I realize it is a common problem for many mineral-based formulas but I have had others that aren't quite as white.

My new sunscreen
I had been using ELTAMD 46 for sensitive skin for years but wanted to eliminate silicon from my products. Silicon tends to pill on my neck and face. And I don’t use any face make up. This sunscreen provides great protection though does not spread quite as easily without silicon (minimal difference). I mix my face serum in with this sunscreen and love the glow. Great improvement!

More thick than tinted UV Clear formula!
I like the glow look to it, however it is more thick and stickier than the UV clear tinted formula. I like it for the summer months when I won't be wearing any other make up. It is definitely thicker to wear under masks and other makeup however. It was great to try but I think I will go back to using the other formula with a higher SPF too.

Nice soft glow but leaves me a little pasty
I'm Asian but more on the medium-fair skin side. This sunscreen gives me a nice glow but also makes me look a little pasty so I actually had to switch to another one with a different tint. Otherwise the ingredients are good and it's easy to put on.

EltaMD UV Glow Broad Spectrum SPF 36 - Tinted
I like how the product goes onto my skin. It's a little to yellow for my skin color so I dilute it with some moisturizer and it works well for me.
