I Have Less Brown Spots

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

I'm a marathoner and out in the sun a lot. I started using it this year and would not use any other brand. It does not come off when I sweat. I know I am protected. I have noticed that I have a lot less brown spots on my hands, arms, and chest this year, and I know it's due to this product. It is a little thick, but, it's a 50 and that's typical.

Wonderful product!

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

Great sunscreen - thick and waterproof. Can be a bit harder to rub in and apply than the thinner liquid sunscreens - but it is so worth the small amount of extra effort. Using it doesn't break my skin out, and I have very very fair and sensitive skin. I use this product only on my body, I use the Elta MD clear sunscreen on my face - which is also wonderful. Love this brand. No scent, no grease, just a great product line that works!

Must use sunscreen!

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

I have had multiple skin cancer removal surgeries due to sun damage of my past. My dermatologist recommended Elta MD and I have become a complete believer. I use the sport sunscreen and also the face sunscreen. I was at Disney last week and applied before I left and forgot to bring it with me, I was so worried that I would get too much sun as I spent six hours in the park. When I got home my skin looked untouched by the sun! This sunscreen is absolutely worth it!

Love Elta but this one not so much

1 stars out of a maximum of 5

Elta MD is my go to sunblock brand; I've been using daily for about ten years. I tried this one as I'm working out outside due to COVID, and I wanted something that I wouldn't sweat off. It's super thick and hard to rub in. Leaves a white film on your face and I can't help but imagine this is clogging my pores. Glad I tried it but will stick with my regular non active one and just re apply. I'm a bit disappointed in the consistency.

Love this sunscreen

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

This sunscreen is fantastic and anyone who has trouble rubbing it in probably needs to moisturize beforehand. Currently on Accutane and love using this sunscreen. I apply a light layer of cerave everyday moisturizer and then rub the sunscreen in. Its very thick and gives my very fair skin have a white-white tint. I don't mind however because this stuff does not move, at all. I use it for my walks and bike rides in the Texas summer heat and It doesn't budge. Accidentally forgot to turn off auto replenish but Im glad I have back ups because I would definitely repurchase down the road. I will note if you don't have fair skin this will 100% leave a heavy white cast. Also I wouldn't wear this to go out probably unless I were to go to an outside venue in the heat. It doesn't drip and get in my eyes even when I'm fully sweating.. however when I am washing it off and I am not careful it burns my eyes like no other.

Great sun protection

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

I love ELTAMD products. I have been using sunscreen daily. This brand was recommended to me by my dermatologist. I love that this is water resistant; this is great for sports and going to the lake/beach.

Great Sunscreen

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

EltaMD never fails.Great for people like myself with sensitive skin (including post procedure and eczema). This is very thick so a little goes a long way and it's a great price point. The only thing I would point out is it can be a bit difficult to wash off, but I'd rather have more coverage than less, especially during the very strong summer months. Also this has ZERO scent which is a great plus in my opinion, I don't like the smell of sunscreen.

Sunburn no more!

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

This sunscreen does its job. It isn't as easy to apply as the UV Aero Broad-Spectrum SPF 45 (one of my preferred/daily used), however it holds up better than the UV Aero Broad when you're vigorously working out. For any long and steep runs, this is my go-to, it doesn't come off easily and I can feel the difference. At first, when applying this, you'll see a white streak but you just have to rub it in (like you would for a lotion) and in a few minutes it goes away. It doesn't feel like a thick layer after blended. I'm an olive complexion and easily get sun poisoning (yeah, weird, I know) and this blends in great. Although I tend to use this particular sunscreen more for a body sunscreen, I've used it on my face and it doesn't burn my eyes when I begin to sweat. I simply prefer another mineral based (MD Solar Sciences) for my face.
