Customers say
Customers find this sunscreen effective for face and body protection, particularly noting it works well under makeup.
A little thinner than the other ELTA products, but I find that I like its texture better and I don’t have to use as much - important with such an expensive product. Spreads very easily and quickly. Not drying. The white disappears immediately and never cakes up in my wrinkles. Its nice to have a waterproof sunscreen that is still not drying on my face. Read more
I highly recommend this sunscreen to anyone that can afford it and does not consider money an issue. It is an expensive sunscreen; however, during certain times of the year, such as Black Friday / Cyber Monday, you can find it discounted from its usual price. This product is marketed as a zinc oxide sheer sunscreen; however, it is a combination of a mineral and chemical sunscreen consisting of 15% Zinc Oxide and and 10% Octocrylene. In my opinion, this sunscreen does not need Octocrylene, as the percentage of Zinc Oxide it contains is already suitable and high enough for adequate protection against UVA-1, UVA-2 and UVB rays. Octocrylene is a chemical ingredient that protects only against UVB, which cause sunburn. This sunscreen goes on clear on the skin, leaving a minimal white cast, if any. It quickly absorbs into the skin. It leaves a minimal white cast on facial hair / a beard. It is very easy to apply to the skin without stretching it, including easy to apply to facial hair / a beard. My only recommendation when applying is to hold the tube upward, as some of the contents may leak out if the tube is facing downward. I recommend applying this product only to the face. Read more
I've been avoiding sunlight for decades, but occasionally it's inescapable. You'll never find me willingly soaking up the rays, but I do have to walk out to my car in summer, drive somewhere on my lunch hour, etc. I've gotten used to my foundation makeup having some SPF, but when I recently changed formulas, I was surprised to find zero mention of sun protection on the bottle. So off I went in search of a unicorn -- that is, a sunscreen that doesn't irritate my skin, doesn't affect the color or finish of my makeup, doesn't feel greasy, and doesn't smell like a day at the pool. I checked around the web for discussions about the best sunscreen to wear under makeup, and this EltaMD formula kept popping up. The price is definitely more than I would ever spend on something like this, but fortunately it's eligible for FSA, so I was able to put it on that account. I was a little worried about pilling because while some reviewers said it didn't pill at all, others said it pills badly. As for how it turned out for me... It's perfect. My skin is easily irritated, but I've been wearing this sunscreen daily for 6 weeks now, and my skin is happy. It's lightweight and feels like it moisturizes, so I use this instead of a moisturizer each morning, but it doesn't feel oily or greasy at all. It does have a little bit of a white cast to it, but that fades quickly and doesn't change the appearance of my foundation at all. And no, it doesn't make my foundation pill! I've come to the conclusion that whether or not it pills probably depends on the foundation itself, as some formulas may mix differently with it. In any case, Maybelline Super Stay 24HR Skin Tint works well with this sunscreen, so it's great for me. Overall, this has turned out to be a great buy. It's not cheap, but a little goes a long way, and it agrees with both my skin and my makeup, so I'll definitely be back for more! Read more
There are a lot of great sunscreens out there but the problem is that I can’t use them. Elta is one of the few that is both effective and doesn’t cause me to get cracks around my lips and eyes. This layers well over moisturizer but under makeup. If I’m out all day I also tap it on top of my makeup. A little goes a long way. Read more
Good product. This is a very small tube but if you’re only using it on your face, a little goes a long way. It does leave my face shiny. Last piece of advice. Don’t purchase it on Amazon. They recently stole $583 from me Read more
