EltaMD UV Pure Broad-Spectrum SPF 47 4 OZ

First, I don't understand the negative reviews unless people don't know how to apply the product. It's a professional grade sunscreen; a small amount goes a long way. You don't apply near your eyes/eyelids. Once it's on it doesn't budge. This is the very best sunscreen for those who burn extremely easily. Meaning, the lightest of light complexions. Think 'porcelain fair' it doesn't break you out, but can have a slight whitish cast upon application which dissipates quickly. It's a true skin saver when you are prone to burning. This is the first time I've ever purchased a sunscreen at full price; as an esthetician I'm willing to pay full price; it's that good

Absolutely what I needed. Does not leave a white film and provides great protection. Can be a little drying, so use a moisturizer underneath. Don't listen to the negative reviews, give it a try.

So far so good with this mineral sunscreen!I have have a photo-allergy with most chemical sunscreen ingredients, meaning once I step out into the sun, I develop a rash. The only sunscreen ingredients I can use without a reaction are Zinc and Titanium Dioxide. I have spend hundreds of dollars trying out different mineral sunscreen formulations, and have mostly been disappointed. I've never been burnt by one, but they ALL either are too hard to rub in, and/or leave a white/purple cast.Until this sunscreen, I had been using Juice Beauty Sport, which I appreciate the high % of Zinc in, but was always too greasy and left just a bit too much white cast. So far I am very happy with this formula, its scent-free, not too greasy, mineral-only, and does not leave a white cast when you rub it in! The price is also great, considering most mineral sunscreens tend to be even more expensive than this one. Im glad it has a good EWG rating, and is on the recommended list, but I do wish it was zinc only rather than a combo with Titanium Dioxide. That is my only complaint, otherwise I'm happy!**For reference, I have light olive-toned skin, so I am not sure how this would do on darker skin tones, but it doesn't seem to leave any sort of even subtle tint on my skin.

Our dermatologist recommended EltaMD mineral sunscreen and I ordered this for my husband to use daily. After trying it myself, I find it an excellent sunscreen. While it does go on with a bit of a white cast, this fades as it is absorbed and feels nice on the skin. There is no sticky sunscreen feel, even after wearing for hours.

I read up many positive and negative reviews before buying this product. I was looking for a light moisturizer, contains a high level of SPF, and that it would not compromise my makeup foundation. I risked and ordered it anyway. To be fair for the product maker and with a sense of integrity, I don't understand how someone could lie by writing bad reviews for this product. I used 3 (apple seed size) drops on my face, 3 drops on my neck and chest, 2 drops in each arm at a time. I gently rub it into my skin and for the record, it does NOT leave white filming or streaks. The initial whiteness does disappear once it's absorbed into your skin. I believe most people with negative reviews are using too large of the amount. I love how it just soaked into my skin, does not sting my eyes like other product with high SPF content. But most importantly, I love it because it is a non-greasy and sticky product. I love the smoothness on both of my arms. Great product for face, neck, and body. I highly recommend it.
