Reviews For EltaMD UV Physical Broad Spectrum SPF 41 Lightly Tinted Mineral Sunscreen
Great product
Love this product. Sometimes I use with no makeup due to it being tinted. I will not go out without sunscreen on my face.

The white tint fades after a few minutes
I was interested in this product because I'm a pretty lazy person when it comes to beauty routines, so I figured I'd get a tinted sunscreen and let that be my sole face product for the day. I liked the great EWG rating of this product, as well as the high SPF rating, so I gave it a shot. At first, I was horrified by how it looks going on -- there is a definite white cast to it for the first few minutes, but it fades to a normal (Caucasian) skin tone after that. I have adult-acne-prone skin so I was taking a chance by getting this instead of the EltaMD UV Clear, but I'm about 2 weeks into using this product, and it does not seem to have caused any new breakouts, thank goodness. I do wish the price were a little better but I'm hoping I won't have to repurchase too often since I'm only using it on my face. I am very satisfied with my purchase.

The product is a physical sunscreen that is safe for the skin but the color of the product is too yellow

Derm Recommended
This is the SPF brand recommended by my dermatologist, so I feel safe using it. I tried many EltaMD samples from her office, and this was the formulation that worked best for my skin. I have aging skin that is no longer oily, but not dry either. Also have some rosacea. This product disappears into my fair skin, and the slight tint helps to tone down my rosacea. I know the SPF is effective, because I don't sunburn when wearing it. I've been using this for about 2 years now and plan to continue buying.

Excellent Sun Protection, Lightweight Foundation
My skin is VERY fair and sensitive to ANY amount of sun exposure...so I have used this product EVERY Day for the last 5+ years bc it is one of the few products that has such a high percentage of titanium dioxide in it, which is well known to prevent dark spots and hyperpigmentation. I don't leave the house without it. It rubs in easily and is NOT at all greasy, and does not block pores. The only reason I do not rate it a 5 star is bc I wish it had a little more tint to it, with yellow and green corrective undertones in it to better conceal redness as I use this alone without any additional foundation (though it is light enough that you could if you wanted to). If you light a like natural look...you can use alone, and also can wear to work out. I LOVE all the EltaMD sun products bc they prevent your skin from aging so well and use the Physical Defense for my neck, chest and arms for sheer, non greasy coverage I can trust.

Great product
I have used this product for several years now and it is one of my favorites. I am very fair skinned and the tint is just right for me-it looks natural on my face. I also like that the main ingredients are the natural minerals zinc oxide and titanium dioxide.

Perfect tint and coverage
Dermatologist had given me a sample and I liked the coverage and color- so I bought the tube and on days where I am not needing makeup, I wear it alone. It gives smooth coverage not heavy, matt or oily and the tint is natural.

AWESOME!
I have been on the hunt for "THE ONE" in a Sunscreen for my face. I have had 2 surgeries for Melanoma, (not on my face), and another one that was at the verge of turning into Melanoma, I was first Diagnosed 5 years ago. This is how long I have been trying to find the right one! I received a sample of this in the mail and I FELL IN LOVE WITH THIS STUFF!! I am getting ready to place an order. I use a moisturizer first, then the Sunscreen. Wait about 10 minutes and apply foundation. PERFECT! No white cast. Thank you for the samples, you have a customer!

Very good
It's very good, I just wish the tint was a bit darker for more coverage for my skin tone.

Fabulous!
The product goes on so smoothly, effortlessly! I really appreciate the tint in that no one but you knows there is a sunscreen on the face. Others leave such a ghostly appearance, it's quite obvious a sunscreen has been applied. At this point I would recommend the product highly.

Non-Toxic protection
This is my favorite facial SPF by far, and I have tried many! The tint is a huge plus and makes application easy and flawless. It doesn't break out my face and goes on smooth, which is a hard combination the find in chemical free sunscreens. Many others are hard to put on and look pasty even after applying makeup. A little goes a long way... this will be my third summer using it and I have no plans to change product anytime soon.

Best sunscreen hands down
I recently tried this because a friend of mine had it. I've always been a big fan of my current sunscreen, but this is more than just sunscreen. It has a good moisture content and blocks out more types of rays than most brands. In the last few years my skin has turned extra, super sensitive and dry. I'm getting to the point where I'm afraid to try anything so when I noticed the tube said "extra sensitive and post procedure skin" I hopped all over it. The great thing is that it's moisturizing and contains antioxidants. It's easy to rub in and then put foundation over it. Some brands sink in too fast and make it extremely difficult to apply anything else. The tint is also perfect - it really sort of disappears after you put it on. I have very light skin with yellow undertones but it completely disappears. If you're always in search of a perfect facial sunscreen, this one is worth a try.

Wonderful sunscreen!
I have been using this sunscreen for two years and love it. It is extremely gentle on my sensitive skin, wears well under makeup and is chemical free. My husband is now using it and I've heard no complaints. It goes on with a slight white cast that quickly fades. I try other EltaMD sunscreens from time to time, but still use this one weekly!

bonus - sunscreen and moisturizer and makeup base
I like the EltaMD UV Physical Broad-Spectrum SPF 41 (Tinted). The tint is not too overwhelming so that it does not alter the skin color substantially. The sunscreen gives an adequate protection but is not too greasy or thick. SPF41 is a good protection for the face. Furthermore, the product can double as a make up base. It is also a moisturizer. I will continue to use it.

Look naked but better
The tint is sheer but gives great protection and blends into skin better than traditional white sunscreen.

love!
I use it for my daily facial sunscreen. Great for my oily and sensitive skin. No burning or stinging around the eyes. no yucky heavy sticky feel, doesn't clog pores. The tint is very slight and the tube lasts forever if you are just using it on your face.

Best physical sunscreen for sensitive skin
I have always preferred physical sunscreens over chemical versions. After being diagnosed with rosacea last year, it became crucial to find the right products for my skin. This sunscreen provides amazing sun protection of 41 while providing a sheer bit of coverage as well---bonus! This is all I wear on my face now--I no longer wear foundation. I hope they never discontinue this product---I will be a customer for life it is that good.

Great Mosturizer
I love the moisturizing qualities of this product. Feels good on my skin and looks great with the hint of color it adds. I needed something with sunscreen and loved the sample of this I tried before buying. I'm over 60 and have dry skin. This improved the look of my skin and I don't need to use another moisturizer during the day.

I have been using this product for a number of years now. Goes on smooth and the tint give a light coverage if you do not want to wear makeup and you get a 46 SPF. Highly recommend.
