This facial sunscreen is super thick, but as a field biologist who works outside a LOT, this is super protective, helps prevent windburn, and is very moisturizing. I have dry skin, so tI love the thickness of it and you only need a very small amount. It also brightens my skin. I wear this when working outside or doing outdoor activities and use the other less thick SPF 46 cream for office work and just normal day to day.

I really wanted this SPF to work and I heard a lot of great things but turns out I’m allergic to it 

I've tried many of the EltaMD sunscreens, and this is my favorite. It is thick, but I usually spread it across my fingers then pat/gently rub it into my skin. I don't recommend applying to wet skin - let your moisturizer sink in for a few minutes first and then apply. I also love that this is a physical block and doesn't have dimethicone, which I'm realizing my skin may be sensitive to. UV Clear made my skin red and pilled under makeup. I used UV Daily for many years but it would exacerbate flakiness and it started to irritate my skin as well. So far, knock on wood, UV Glow has been great.

I love this product, I see a lot of people saying the product is thick. That is my only is with the UV Hlow but I use a blender brush and put it on. It’s makes your face and glow it’s beautiful!

I have loved all the Elta MD products I have purchased so I failed to read the reviews before ordering this. I have no idea why they call it "UV Glow" because it does not leave my skin with any kind of "glow". It is thick and difficult to apply (much harder than the UV Pure that I use when I am going to be swimming or in the water). I did not find it suitable for my increasingly delicate and rosacea-prone skin. Returning for refund.

Hi, I love EltaMD products! I’m never with the UV clear version. I tried a sample of the Glow & it was very hard to rub into skin, even layered over a serum. Not for me.

Leaves a beautiful glow, even the dermatologist commented on it! Will continue to purchase!

Usually very happy with elta md but this bottle was thick and heavy. I will not purchase again. Only UV CLEAR SPF46 from this point on.

First off…… yes it has a white cast. It’s a mineral sunscreen and I have yet to find one that doesn’t give you somewhat of a white cast. If you have real expectations of a mineral sunscreen you’ll love this. Blend in well at the hairline and you’ll be good to go. No sunburns if you reapply as instructed. Great overall protection for everyday. 

I love Elta MD…especially the UV Daily sunscreen. I was excited to try this because I have dry skin, somewhat textured skin. This is not what I expected at all. So chunky and thick. It’s very difficult to actually spread all over my face and it doesn’t absorb well. I hardly ever write reviews. I was so disappointed and sad in this I was motivated enough to write one. Needless to say I will not be repurchasing this!!
