Greasy
I use Elta MD on my face and like it so thought I would try this product. Living in Florida for 70 years and having had basal cancer numerous times I wear only sun screen with high amount of zinc oxide. I like that this product has the zinc. It does take a while to dry and leaves a greasy residue.

Skin care
I love the EltaMD sunscreen products and thought I would try this particular one. It spreads on easily, but will leave a very slight white cast if you forget to take the extra seconds to smooth it on . I am in the sun more than I would choose, and this offers great protection.

Good brand
I like this brand , had never tried this exact product . Works well but I didn’t like what it smelled like . Other people could smell it when it was freshly on .too and agreed it was strange . I know it’s unscented . But it has an odor I don’t care for . My Elta sunscreen lotion does not have the scent this water resistant one has .

Nice but heavy
I purchased this for sun protection while hiking. It was fine during the first application - I only felt a little oily, but reapplication made my face feel so gross and greasy (physical sunscreens be like that though). I guess I will bring makeup wipes next time to remove the old layer. However, it didn't anger my super sensitive skin so that's a big plus! In the future I will stick with the EltaMD UV Clear Broad Spectrum SPF 46 as my daily sunscreen and only use this one when being active outdoors.

Great sunscreen
I absolutely love the sunscreen. It goes on nicely, and it does not leave my skin white, like a lot of the sunscreens. The only reason I did not give it five stars, was that it is very difficult to get into. If I am home, it is not a problem, I can use an ice pick to poke a hole in the top. But, if I forget, and pack a new bottle, in my bag, that makes life difficult. I think it is an easy design to fix. I’ll keep buying it, and hope they figure it out.

Used this for a beach trip
I bought this for a beach trip. We all wore sun protective clothing, but slathered this on the exposed parts (reapplying frequently). I think it was effective. It does not wash off easily and leaves a white cast so I would recommend only using for those heavy-duty sport/beach days.

Absorb quickly and doesn't leave white residue
I like that it is a mineral sunscreen but it doesn't leave white residue on my skin.

Better than spf 50+ version.
If you wanna no white cast, take this. Clear and not oily feeling.

Good sunscreen!
The sunscreeen goes on white but rubs in easily and does not have any odor. It is a little greasy but does provide good coverage.

Love elta md sunscreens but this one is not my favorite
I use it on myself and my kids in the summer only.. it’s little white and hard to blend and I like the spray more but I use this before going out to the sun and then when I reapply I use the spray or the othe body cream they are much easier to apply..

I need higher Zinc % :(
I wanted to love this sunscreen. I bought 2 big bottles. I live in The South and always in sun. I drive all day so I’m constantly reapplying sunscreen, and doing whatever I can to block sun damage. I’m fair and I wish it had higher Zinc content, because I need that to really block the sun. I still get lots of sun while wearing this sunscreen. It’s my fault for not checking the ingredients. Clearly lots of people love it. It does rub in well, and feels nice on skin. This is nice as you have to reapply sunscreen every few hours. I just don’t think it provides the block I need. I’m hoping that I can use more in winter when the sun isn’t as strong.

A bit more greasy than the non-waterproof ones
I use this on my body, it works good. Water-resistant sunscreens are more greasy than the non water resistant ones but on my body it’s okay. The protection is not bad. On a rafting trip in the Colorado river I applied this on my exposed arms every two hours. I didn’t get burned, also my KP on my arms is not aggravated by the sun exposure.

Good waterproof option
I loved EltaMD sunscreens but it's a bit overwhelming with all the options. I originally got hooked on the UV lotion and have tried several since. I wanted something waterproof for the lake so I tried this one. It goes on a bit thick but rubs in well. I row and haven't had any issues with it running into my eyes. My elbow crease sometimes gets runny but sweat is collecting there. I also tried the aerosol because it's waterproof. It definitely goes on lighter but I felt like I needed more of it and went through the bottle really fast. I also don't really see the point in a spray because you still have to rub it in. If you are looking for a waterproof EltaMD sunscreen, pick the Sport.

Great sunscreen for active days
I purchased this to use on my face when I go hiking and sweat a lot. It is more water resistant and cheaper than the UV Elements Tinted, which is my every day spf. It doesn't leave a white cast on my tan skin and while it is a bit greasy/shiny for an every day sunscreen, it's not overly shiny. It's perfect for wearing while i am out hiking or walking in the sun. I also use it on my neck and chest regularly since it's less expensive and in a larger bottle than UV Elements. Highly recommend.

Good Body Sunscreen
This has been a great SPF for daily use on my arms/legs when I am going to be outside for a while. It rubs in easily, offers good protection, and doesn't irritate my sensitive skin. I would recommend to others with sensitive skin/fragrance allergies looking for a body sunscreen.

Good body sunscreen
I bought this hoping it would be a good sunscreen for both face and body. It's a good body sunscreen, but I found it to be a little too greasy for my face. It also ran into my eyes and stung when I started to sweat. This might be a good facial sunscreen for people with dry to normal skin, but not for my oily skin.

EltaMD sports sunscreen
I really liked the sunscreen and use it everyday. I live where it gets very hot. I would buy again. The downside is its pricey.

Clear and no scent
This is my 1st time purchasing EltaMD. I just tried it too see my 1st thoughts and I love it so far. Goes on smooth and doesn't leave quite cast at all! I tried it on my leg and face. Tomorrow I will try it under makeup too. I bought this for vacation since its waterproof. I will update my review once I use it in Hawaii
