5 stars out of a maximum of 5

I discovered Elta sunscreen at an aestheticians office. My skin was very much acne infected. I was prescribed retinal, or retin-a, and the dermatologist gave me some samples of Elta sunscreen. This sunscreen seems safer on acne prone skin than others as this sunscreen is marketed to those who struggle with that problem. My skin has cleared and I still use it. After working it into the skin, this sunscreen does not leave an oily residue.

Best sunscreen ever

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

This sunscreen is so light weight and does not feel like I have a sunscreen on. I put it on every morning and it doesn't break me out. Will be repurchasing once I run out.

Great sunscreen!

4 stars out of a maximum of 5

I love this sunscreen, but had to knock off a point because it is so darn expensive. The product is very lightweight going on- it almost feels watery. It sinks right into my skin and is not sticky or oily, unlike other sunscreens. The BEST part of this sunscreen is that it doesn't slip into my eyes, even if I wear it all day. I am prone to breakouts and this product has not caused any irritation to my skin. This is the best sunscreen I have ever used on my face, but it is definitely a hit to the wallet.

I love this product!

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

I have used this product for about a year. I was purchasing it from my dermatologist office after my dermatologist recommended it. Then I discovered Dermstore. Customer service is excellent. I love the Elta MD clear broad spectrum SPF 46! I have tried many sunblocks on my face. Most sting my eyes, leave my face looking oily & white. The Elta MD goes on so smoothly, doesn't burn my eyes & leaves my face looking nice. I will continue using this product thru Dermstore.

Great sunscreen!

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

I purchased this item based on other reviews and I am very satisfied. Even though it contains zinc, it does not leave a white film on your skin as so many other zinc products do. It glides on and protects very well.

did not irritate skin

4 stars out of a maximum of 5

I like that it did not irritate my skin or cause a breakout and the lightweight texture. I have rosacea and this was recommended by my derm. It did leave my skin feeling dry even when I layered w/lotion on top.

Not your average Holy Grail

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

I typically don't throw out HG willy nilly because I believe our skincare routines change, then suddenly your "holy grail" gets shelved, thus debunking your previous claim. To me, a true Holy Grail is one you come back to again and again; it will always be in your routine. Everyone will ALWAYS need and benefit from this product. First of all, we should all be wearing SPF every day. You can still get a healthy color through SPF, you just don't have to burn and cause further sun damage to get "sun-kissed". Daily SPF should be in all of our routines when you consider how much our skin is exposed to harmful UV rays. Simply just sitting in our cars, the sun shines through. Anti-aging products and procedures are costly and sometimes ineffectual. The simplest, most effective, and affordable anti-aging solution is prevention. SPF is a great start. If you're using retinol, SPF is required. So now you're on board the SPF train- but with that comes the dilemma of choosing mineral or physical. For those who don't know, physical SPF works by reflecting the UV rays off of your skin. Think of the old lifeguard nose with pure zinc oxide. Now, as iconic as that look is, most of us can't pull that off. Traditional zinc based products leave a white cast, despite their efforts to achieve the contrary. Many makeup products with tinted SPF still leave flashback- that's likely because they contain a physical SPF; the skin-toned tint will take care of the white cast, but the flash of a camera will leave you looking ghostly. The solution for all of this is Elta MD UV Clear, literally dermatologist recommended. It's not just a stamp they put on their products (ahem, drugstore brands), it truly is widely recommended by dermatologists, including my own. I have inflammatory rosacea (specifically a very angry patch on my cheek) and my provider recommended I wear this every day. He mentioned that it's also great for acne prone skin. The key is to wear it every single day, whether you plan on being outdoors or not. It is ideal to build good habits. Applying this daily will become second nature, and when you are exposed to sun you'll be covered. UV Clear is also beneficial when indoors, due to zinc being a natural anti-inflammatory. It does seem to help calm my skin down. It calms by reducing redness and not angering my hostile spot that is prone to pustules and raised inflammation. In summary- This leaves no white cast at all. It doesn't have that traditional sunscreen smell to it. It's not oily, so it's perfect under makeup. Elta MD does offer a tinted option for the UV Clear but I prefer the untinted version for everyday use. For makeup days, a great little hack is that I purchased Drunk Elephant's D-Bronzi Anti-Pollution Sunshine Drops. A tiny drop added to UV Clear gives you a natural and believable glow to match your healthy SPF protected skin.

Good for everyday use

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

This sunscreen is good to wear every day underneath your makeup, and goes on very smooth. Only negative is that it does leave your face a little shiny. (not greasy though!)
