Reviews For EltaMD UV Sheer Broad Spectrum SPF 50+ Face and Body Sunscreen
No Lasting Whitecast - Does Have a Little Shine
The untinted did not leave a lasting whitecast (disappears within about 5 minutes). Not a thick sunscreen and applies smooth and easy. Very light shine, but there is a shine. I personally don't like any shine so this is not my go-to facial sunscreen, but if you like a slight shine this might work well for you.

Good sunscreen
I’m very fair skinned so a good sunscreen is a must have. This product does the trick.

Nice sunscreen
I purchased the UV SHEER sunscreen because I really wanted a very light weight sunscreen. I really like that it is unscented, good SPF protection (50) and doesn’t have a lot of ingredients in it because I have very sensitive skin. I used to use the UV CLEAR but had to find a different one when my skin became more sensitive. I usually choose sunscreens that are chemical free but they tend to be a little thicker because of the zinc. I only wish this one wasn’t water-resistant. So far it hasn’t made me break out but acne prone skin usually does better with sunscreens that aren’t water-resistant. I have dry, sensitive skin that still breaks out at times. I think this sunscreen would be good for many skin types, especially oily because it is so thin and absorbs in easy and isn’t greasy at all. It was a good pick for me and I have a super hard time finding the right sunscreen.

Great Product
As usual with EltaMD, this product is phenomenal, but pricey if you use it for your body.

Good sunscreen for body
I bought this for face and body after reading how "sheer" it was and watching the LovelySkin Skinceuticals video. It is fairly lightweight and rubs in pretty easily. But like most all of the Elta sunscreens, I find it gives a bit of a white cast, especially with subsequent applications. It is not greasy though, so I do like that. I think I will use it just as a body sunscreen and go back to the Elta UV 46 daily untainted for my face, which does not seem to leave a whitish cast for me. I was hoping to use just one sunscreen for all, but will keep two tubes, one for face and one for body.

Nice product, but I feel better about using a chemical free sunscreen
I bought this to use on my hands, chest and neck that are more exposed in the summer months. While this product has zinc oxide, it also has chemicals (which generally I try to avoid). Therefore it is thinner and easier to apply, without the whiteish cast. All very nice, I am glad I tried it and will use the tube. But I will likely go back to UV Active to avoid the chemicals, and just deal with the less appealing aspects of the chemical-free sunscreen.

White Cast but Effective
Does leave white cast if not rubbed in & can pill if skin is dry even under makeup. But i do like it for body.

Very nice!
I really like this as a moisturizer that also protects from the sun. It goes on nicely and doesn't make my skin look oily or Greasy like many moisturizers do!

Feels great on
This is my husband's favorite sunscreen because it goes on easily and doesn't feel slippery. It has a thin texture that makes it easy to apply. I've used Elta MD products for 20+ years and trust their quality.

Great product/
I eliminated one star because the tube design has changed. I liked the "old" tube of just flipping the top and you were ready to dispense the sunscreen. You have to unscrew the top to use, which is not as conenient as the previous top. I have been using Elta MD sunscreen for years and believe it to be a great product to block the sun. It never feels greasy and can be used under make-up.

I EltaMD UV Sheer Broad Spectrum SPF 50+
I bought this sunscreen as a replacement for my favorite EltaMD SPF 45 sunscreen which has been discontinued. I am hoping that as I continue to use this one it will also give me good results.

Fairly sheer
This product seems to protect well but it leaves an oily feeling residue on my skin. I prefer it for my arms rather than for my face.

Nice product
Texture is shear, there is absolutely zero smell (fragrance) and it’s not paste-y white, it’s not tacky it dries nicely and makeup applies nicely over it. I like to use it on my ears, neck, chest, tops of my shoulders and tops of my hands when I’m wearing SPF protective clothing.

Lotion is Sheer, Dry and Soaks in Well--Really Would Like Different Dispenser/Cap
This lotion does not feel greasy or heavy at all which is nice in 90+ humid weather. Really wish it came in an airless pump or at least with an attached cap--hence the four-star rating. Do not like the separate cap on the tube.

Long lasting
Product works great on sensitive skin, applies easily enough, and is long lasting. I wish the sunscreen didn't spill out of the bottle so quickly when first starting to apply. I feel a pump bottle or upright bottle would be better.

Wonderful protection
This provided wonderful coverage from the sun; however after a while my skin started tingling and burning. I absolutely LOVE Elta 46 spf with the hyaluronic acid though.

This was suggested by my dermatologist, and I do like the way it works.

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.
