Good product for sun protection
Love that this SPF is sheer and no white residue or worrying about a tinted version getting on clothes. However my sensitive skin does react (turn a bit red) after applying. I can tolerate it though for the spf 50 and Untinted option.

Great Waterproof Option
I usually use the UV Clear for this brand but when traveling, I wanted an SPF that had some more stick to it, due to the hot weather. I tried this one and liked it quite a lot. I used one bottle that lasted about one week over my body and face, with reapplications for a trip. The product goes on smoothly, no irritation, not much shine. The only issue I have with it is it does not last long if using over body and reapplying all day. For the cost it is expensive. I would purchase again in the future when traveling because it sticks well to the skin and is a great size for travel but probably not for everyday use.

Decent facial sunscreen
I wanted to find a high-spf facial sunscreen that wouldn't be greasy/cause breakouts, wouldn't cast a white tint, and was water-resistant. I'm giving this four stars because it didn't cause breakouts, doesn't cast a white tint (yay!) but does feel a little a little greasier than I'd like and stung my eyes after I started sweating. I'll use this up but will still continue my search.

Good sunscreen
Easy to apply without leaving a white film on skin. Absorbs well with no shine and gives good protection and a little goes a long way. It doesn’t moisturize much, my skin feels dry or powdery but not too bad.

Pretty pleased!
I have the hardest time with sunscreens—everything ends up stinging or breaking me out. With this one, a little goes a long way and if anything, it’s been helping my skin out. I use this as a moisturizer/spf 2-in-one, which I love. It can definitely get a bit shiny, but I set it with powder and that seems to do the trick. Ultimately, I’d rather be a little glowy than have my skin dry out by the end, which has happened with other mineral sunscreens.

Better than Others
I got a sample of this and was so impressed I had to purchase a full-size. I was surprised at how small a full-size was since this is for the body and face, but I like that it didn't leave a super thick and white cast on the skin. It seems a bit less greasy than other sunscreens, too. I use it for when I want extra strong sun protection, even if I'm not going in the water. I recently developed some nasty skin conditions that required extra sun protection, and I found this sunscreen to be helpful.

Does not leave a white cast!
This is a nice product! It goes on easily and becomes sheer. Does not leave a white cast on my tan skin. It is smooth and not thick. Of note this is not completely mineral/physical and does contain some chemical sunscreen.

Goes on smoothly and not greasy
This goes on smoothly, isn't greasy and doesn't leave your face looking shiny white.

Good EltaMD alternative spf for non-tinted days
This new product probably ranks in second behind my more favored tinted clear zinc one by EltaMD, but it's great for days when I don't want to use any tinted products. Only deducted a star for packaging. Because this product is a bit runnier than the others, the screw top is not fun to wrestle with once you've dispensed out the product onto your hands. Would have much preferred a snap top or something easier to manage. Just like any other product, I think how this will sit on your skin depends on your skin. For me, it kind of starts out a little oily looking, but soon seems to matte up a bit. So, if you're like me, give it a min before freaking out over looking or feeling greasy. Still the best protection out there per most dermatology specialists I've spoken to.

Seems to do the job
Light-weight although maybe a little runny. Doesn't make my eyes sting if my face gets sweaty while wearing it. It seems to work well as I'm not seeing any tanning of my face and have worn it several times now while working in the yard on sunny days.

Tried A New EltaMD
I tried the new sheer 50. I like using it on my neck and chest because of the C and moisturizer it has. My face is sensitive and prone to acne so I don't like it as much as the UV Clear SPF46 that I have used for over a year. So, now I am using both.

Nice light sunscreen
This sunscreen does feel nice and light on the skin and it dries to a nice semi matte finish. It wasn’t greasy at all and it didn’t pill over my other products. I think the chemical spf in it did make my skin a bit itchy but this unfortunately is normal for my sensitive skin. I usually stick to only physical formulas. I will still use this up on my body. I think this would be great for those who don’t have super sensitive skin.

Good but not my fav
I like this but found it a little drying. UV Physical and UV Sport remain my two favorite EltaMD sunscreens.

Lightweight sunscreen
Lightweight sunscreen that really works. Hours after application still protects my skin from the sun. Isn’t super moisturizing but great for summer.

Tinted matte sunscreen
Only complaint with this product is that it is not as matte finish as I had hoped. However, it's better than most other sunscreens. I layer different ones to get the benefits from lots of clear zinc oxide and tinted layers on top of that.

Best of Elta
I really prefer a very matte product, and I have all of the Elta sunscreens. This one does not add shine and it melts into your skin. Light and easy to use.

Great Sun Protection
This EltaMd UV Scheer Broad Spectrum-Suncreen SPF-50 does protect you from the sun but I do feel it whitens your face up a tiny bit. I store the tube flat otherwise there is too much in the cap. I also shake the tube before applying. Four stars for the tiny bit of whitening on the skin or opaque. It is about the same as my favorite UV Clear SPF-46 Untinted. I feel the Clear gives more moisture. I will use the SPF-50 until empty. My favorite remains Clear SPF-46 Tinted.

Great for my neck!
I can't use this on my face unless I don't use my retinol moisturizer as it makes my face too greasy. I love it for my neck and décolleté area because it moisturizes and doesn't get on my clothes. I also use it on my hands.
