About EltaMD UV Clear Facial Sunscreen Broad-Spectrum SPF 46
Overall Feedback:
85% positive
75% praised the no white cast effect, but 25% noticed a slight tint
In certain lightings, there is a slight white cast even on fair skin tone. Therefore, it is not suitable for darker skin tones.
There is a mild white cast on my brown skin due to the zinc, but it's not as noticeable as mineral sunscreens.
The clear sunscreen leaves a strong white cast on my olive skin.
Most people leave out the fact that the product will leave a white cast on persons of colour, despite its glowing reviews.
73% liked the water-resistant feature
I love that the sunscreen is water resistant even though it says it is not. I can put it on and go out for the day or even jogging and still not get burned.
80% appreciated the moisturizing effect
The sunscreen keeps my skin smooth and moisturized without excess oils.
This moisturizer is deeply moisturizing and light without any white tint that some sunscreens have.
72% liked the non-greasy texture, but 28% found it slightly sticky
The sunscreen leaves my face with a matte finish and feels light and smooth.
I have found that this sunscreen gives a matte finish and pairs well with my matte mineral powder foundation. It leaves me with a slightly dewy finish, but overall still mostly matte.
I dislike the oily sheen the sunscreen gives my face as the finish is not matte.
77% praised the pleasant fragrance, yet 23% found it too strong
I find the scent of the product to be very strong, slightly sweet, almost fruity, and kind of like cough syrup.
77% praised the allergy-free formula
This is the first face sunscreen that did not cause any breakouts.
I have tried dozens of oil-free high SPF moisturizers over many years, but this one is the best for those with sensitive and/or acne-ridden skin.
71% appreciated the quick absorption, whereas 29% didn't
The sunscreen absorbs easily and disappears after a few seconds of applying, despite initially leaving a white cast.
After applying sunscreen, it takes me 25-30 minutes for it to fully absorb.
I noticed that the product blocks UV rays but does not absorb into the skin.
The sunscreen takes a minute to absorb into my skin and makes my face oily for a bit too long.
