4.7

EltaMD earns strong reviews as an effective, dermatologist-recommended sunscreen brand that feels lightweight, absorbs quickly, and protects without breakouts, especially in UV Clear and UV Daily formulas. Reviews also flag drawbacks: some formulas run shiny or not hydrating enough, certain mineral options leave a white cast, the tinted shade can skew orange on cool/neutral undertones, and a noticeable scent bothers sensitive users.

  • Two Dermatologists, One Sunscreen My dermatologist recommended EltaMD UV Clear to me, and completely independently, a different dermatologist recommended it to my teenage son. We both love it. It feels lightweight, wears beautifully, and is easy enough to use every day. The biggest endorsement may be that my teenage son is actually sticking with it. He recently told me he’s been getting compliments on his skin, which has made him even more committed to using it. When the same sunscreen works for both me and a teenage boy, and comes recommended by two different dermatologists, it’s an easy one to keep repurchasing.

  • Recommended by my dermatologist for a tinted sunscreen but I wasn't sure at first because it's a little pricey. Saw it in the FSA store so went for it and ended up really liking it! It DOES leave my skin a bit shiny but I think it has a nice really fluffy texture and blends nicely.

  • I purchased this sunscreen after so many people recommended EltaMD. I have very sensitive, acne and rosacea prone skin. I noticed my skin feeling a bit dry once I started using it, so I stopped. It was the only thing I had changed in my routine at the time.

  • Elta MD's UV Clear Tinted Face Sunscreen is an awful choice for those with neutral or cool undertones—it'll make you look orange! Also, it's not a good option for those whose skin doesn't react well with niacinamide.
