Tinted Elta MD skincare UV Daily Broad Spectrum SPF 40

Dramatic but true, this is nectar of the gods

I’ll start by saying I don’t invest often in beauty or skin products. I wear minimal makeup and use basic soaps and creams. Still, this product has me singing praises. I’m in my late 30s and in the last year developed rosacea. My skin would be not only red but would itch and burn and nothing would soothe it. I used everything. My dermatologist gave me a prescription for some topical gel and told me to try this. I did the gel first alone. It definitely helped, but it didn’t relieve it completely. When I added this, my life changed. My face changed. It puts out the fire on my face instantly. And if I go even one day without it, I know it. The tint is an added bonus- it gives the skin a nice even tone without the cakey makeup look. The SPF is perfect as well- I wore only this all summer and never got a sunburn. I’ll never use anything else. — balletofangels reviewed

Been using EltaMD for years – love it!!

I cannot say enough good things about the EltaMD products. I am very fair, burn easily, and my skin frequently gets inflamed when I apply any sunscreens (including those made specifically for the face). EltaMD absorbs quickly and it’s easy to apply make-up over it. I use the tinted version just for that extra bit of coverage b/c I use a very sheer BB-cream as my “foundation”, so the tint in the EltaMD adds just the tiniest extra bit of coverage. They also offer a clear – and that works just as well in terms of sunblock. The EltaMD sunblock does NOT contain avobenzone which I have found always makes me break-out (even when the product indicates it does not cause break-outs). This sunblock is so light and feels so good that when I first tried it, I was convinced it couldn’t actually work that well, and so I questioned my dermatologist about it and she confirmed it’s a great product. After using it long-term, I’m a fan and even though I can only get it online, I plan ahead so I never run out. I wear it daily – sometimes alone, sometimes under my BB cream foundation or mineral powder. — balletofangels reviewed

BEST SUNSCREEN EVER!!!

My dermatologist recommended this and I couldn’t love it any more!!! It has a little bit of tint that provides just the smallest amount of coverage to even out my skin tone and problem areas. It blends in so easily, I can haphazardly throw it on without worrying about streaks. This is the only thing I’ve been wearing most days in terms of makeup. It’s honestly my new favorite product just because it makes my life easier. — Cheryl D. reviewed

Superb Product Improves and Protects Skin

This was recommended by my dermatologist after being on Accutane. I had very oily skin and now it is about normal. This does not make your skin oily whatsoever and the tint works on many skin tones and blends with your skin and doesn’t cover it. I can still use my mineral powder over this and get the color I want. My skin lookes even and toned while I wear this and I feel comfortable running out with this just on. My skin feels super soft afterwards for nearly the whole day.
It also improves skin and blocks UV rays well. I tend to burn now easier since Accutane and I haven’t when using this on my face and neck, while I didn’t apply sunblock in other areas where I burned the same day. — Miss Unicorn reviewed

since its like a medium tint and I’m roughly the shade of …

Between using this and some stuff my dermatologist gave me, my skin went from painfully (both emotionally and physically) broken out to almost 100% clear in ONE WEEK. The tint was slightly alarming when I first used it, since its like a medium tint and I’m roughly the shade of one tablespoon of coffee mixed into an entire cup of milk, but once its rubbed in it just kinda gives my skin a slighly warm glow that looks pretty natural. I’m kinda hoping my current moisturizer runs out soon so I can just start using Elat MD for that as well. — Jenan Skinner reviewed

Great product especially when combined elta spf 40 untinted sunscreen to find my tint

Currently my favorite sunscreen product, here are some pros and somethings it could improve on.
Pros:
1). Safe around the eyes
2). Great coverage, blocks UV A and UV B
4). If you’re a lighter person its easy to find your tint if you mix the SPF 40 untinted version with this
5). Good even coverage on pores makes them far less noticeable, (I have very deep pores especially on my nose and this covers them well)
6). Great for Sensitive skin
Cons:
1). If you use CerVe Moisturizing cream before applying this sunscreen the two won’t mix, although if you apply CerVe Moisturizing Cream the night before and let dry onto your face it will work perfectly.
2). A moderate shine from using this sunscreen, if you lightly rub in a second time after letting set, this shine nearly vanishes.
3). Doesn’t look good in eye wrinkles
4). Leaves a somewhat tinted noticeable cast, (as in you can see the particles of the sunscreen on your face, like a dusty look, if not blended in correctly)
5). Whiteheads aren’t hidden very well by this product — KS reviewed

Best facial Daily broad spectrum SPF Ive ever used.

I am vain and love the natural beauty look. The best way to keep your skin young and fresh looking is UV brand band protection…..Love this stuff. It was recommended by my medispa practitioner. Lightly tinted never streaks and moisturizes subtly. Ive tried the non tinted and it leaves a white film and does not go on as nicely. Go for the tinted one. Worth the money, and no, Im not getting any kickbacks for saying that. (Im sure there are other ones out there that are like 100$ an oz. but thats not in my budget Its the best daily SPF, Ive ever used. I am on my 3rd bottle in 6 months. The only downside is that it is impossible to tell when the bottle will be empty so I stock up when its on sale so I have it on hand. — Benjamin S reviewed

Great product for your skin’s everyday defense

This tinted sunscreen is my only make up. I use it every day and love it. I use a serum and eye cream first but this is my defense. It goes on light and is a bit wet at first but soaks in beautifully and feels great throughout the day. Highly recommend. — k-slice reviewed

Love this light SPF tinted formula

I’ve been using this for some time and I love it. It provides super light foundation coverage and you can barely see it. I love the light coverage. I always wear sunscreen so it is a huge plus that it is in the product which I wear every single day. My 23 year old daughter tried it and liked it so much she has now started using it. It may seem a little pricey but it is worth it. — Lily reviewed

This is the best if you have dry skin

I am a SPF junkie. I make sure to apply my SPF every morning no matter what. It seem’s like most of the tinted SPF face products that I have tried here recently are matte of make my face look dry. I needed a hydrating SPF for my face. This does not lie when it says it’s hydrating. I have pretty dry skin during the winter and this has saved my face. It goes on so smoothly and just adds a silky finish to my face. It looks hydrated but not oily. I love this stuff. If you are oily at all though, I do not recommend this. — mclark_1 reviewed

Amazing product

I absolutely adore EltaMD daily sunscreen and moisturizer. I have tried many many products and I will not go back to any after using EltaMD.

My skin is very sensitive to new products and will often breakout and take a long time to adapt (and sometimes never). I had no problems with this product. It is clearly moisturizing, which is great. But I also have the one for acne-prone skin and when my skin is too greasy or breaking out, then I switch over to that one until my skin clears. The acne version is definitely not moisturizing and I would not recommend unless you have a breakout because it will dry up your skin. I.e., it does what it is supposed to too!

I have used both the tinted and the non-tinted version. I prefer the tinted because it adds just a subtle tint that improves evenness of my skin tone. — Toots McBoots reviewed

I’m a believer

I bought this before a vacation to Las Vegas. I have been a die-hard Coola tinted moisturizer fan for a long time but decided to give this a shot based on other recommendations. I was not disappointed. Super luxurious, lightly tinted moisturizing sunblock for us fair skinned, freckled folks. Happy camper. — Toots McBoots reviewed

Simply the best. ????

My dermatologist recommended this product after I had fully ablated CO2 facial resurfacing laser. ( two week downtime) yikes….. I have been using it for years. I get the tinted 40-45spf. It is a bit pricey-but a little goes a long way and I only use it on my face. It moisturizes and blends easily. Great protection. I highly recommend this product. Some things are just worth the price. — Jasey reviewed

Love love love

I love this stuff! Been using it for years! My skin is very sensitive and prone to acne. The zinc oxide helps control that and is great for my rosacea. I used to work for a doctor that sold this product which is when I got hooked. I like the tinted even in the winter when I’m pretty pale, it doesn’t streak or ever look orange. I used this product as part of my beauty routine daily to protect my skin and since using it, I’ve been had sunburn in my face, neck or décolleté. — Susan reviewed

Favorite facial sunscreen

An esthetician recommended this sunscreen. For years I used neutrogena but this is an upgrade. I love it. I’ve been using it for about two years now. The bottle lasts me about 6 months or so using it daily, sometimes applying it a few times daily. It’s lightly tinted but nothing noticeable when worn. It’s lightweight. It doesn’t leave a my face greasy/shiny like typical sunscreens, and it doesn’t feel thick and suffocating. I love this sunscreen and recommend it for anyone. — Justin Reed reviewed

Great for ocular rosacea!

Had to update because this stuff is amazing. I’ve never been able to wear sunscreen that didn’t bother my rosacea eyes before. I’m not sure why but this stuff doesn’t bother them at all. The zinc formula perhaps. Plus its tinted which is a nice bonus because I can’t really tolerate makeup. — shopping Alex reviewed

EltaMD UV Daily Tinted Facial Sunscreen

My dermatologist suggested getting this brand of tinted facial sunscreen. I discovered that it was cheaper to get it through Amazon than through Wal-Mart. However, besides that point, I love how it goes on, the feel, and the coverage. I often just use that by itself instead of putting on a foundation over it. I come from a fair-haired family line that has had some skin cancer that was treatable, however, my gramps was not so lucky. Back in his day, he worked long summer hours in the sun without protection. I highly recommend this EltaMD UV Daily Tinted Facial Sunscreen. My face does not leave home without it! — Kate reviewed

Best sunscreen

I have been using this sunscreen for the last 3 years and I love it. I use the tinted one because I usually do not put much makeup so it helps to cover a little bit. It is light, not greasy, and has anti aging components plus it protects my skin from the sun which I am very sensitive. I usually buy online from Walmart because the price is better but I found this time a good deal at Amazon so I am happy with it.
The only complain is that it is very hard to say when I need a new one because I cannot see how much is left in the container. — Ellie reviewed

Melanoma survivors

My husband and I are both survivors of Melanoma and other skin cancers.
We use this EltaMD UV every morning. — Victogenia reviewed

NO white cast and rubs in easily.

I have sensitive combo skin and this product works amazingly well so far. It does not irritate/sting my skin which a lot of sunscreens do, it rubs in without any effort, does not feel sticky, thick or greasy on my skin, and the tint worked fine for my coloring (light neutral with a slight hint of olive). Overall really impressed. I’m not super into the price (i’m cheap); however, this product has performed extremely well so far and if nothing negative happens with repeated use, I will be purchasing it again. Impressed! — Buyer reviewed

I never did like the thick and unnatural look of most makeup coverage …

I am not a person that likes a lot of makeup. I ran across this one time at a dermatologist and have now used for years. I never did like the thick and unnatural look of most makeup coverage with the oilyness you get later in the day and so hard to match color. This product blends perfectly with the use of a light powder. I honestly can’t think of anything i don’t like. So if you like light coverage that stays all day and gives you spf at same times would suggest that you use this product. — Sheba reviewed

It makes my skin look plump and glowy.

I love this sunblock!! Best one I’ve used for the face so far. It doesn’t break me out. I use the tinted one and I’m able to wear that alone, or under makeup. During the day I use neutrogena hydroboost extra dry, and then I use this on top of that cream to seal in the hyaluronic acid. Great results so far. — Sheba reviewed

Absolute daily necessity!

If I was shipwrecked on a desert island and had only one product with me for the rest of my life, it would be this one. I have very oily skin and live in a sunny climate and this product is a miracle for me. I use it as my moisturizer every single day – it offers serious sun protection without breaking out my sensitive, acne prone skin. The tint is very sheer and it is perfect on its own for those "no makeup" days. For daily wear, it goes on beautifully as a moisturizer under makeup or blended with my favorite bb cream or foundation for more coverage. — zahra tiwana reviewed

Great Sunscreen

I love the Elta MD Broad-Spectrum SPF 40 Moisturizing Sunscreen, Tinted. My Dermatologist recommended this sunscreen for my super-delicate skin several years ago, and I’ve used it faithfully every day. The SPF 40 protects me from sunburn and moisturizes my skin. I also use the tinted version in lieu of a foundation make-up. It’s smooth and absorbs easily. I re-apply 2 or 3 tims a day, which protects from sunburn and keeps my skin moist.
LOVE IT! — BeautyJunkie reviewed

excellent product.

I use this mixed with the untinted since the color is a little strong for me. I use a little airline travel jar and put 1/2 and 1/2 in and it comes out perfect for me. IMHO elta MD is the best sunscreen for the face. It goes on smooth, doesn’t smell, doesn’t need to be rubbed and rubbed to get any whiteness away. I’m one of those people who’s had far too many skin cancers and want to do all I can to prevent more. This fills the bill nicely.
The UV Clear SPF46 clear is good, too, but requires more rubbing in, though some may prefer that one since it only has the minerals and no chemical sunscreen agents. — Miss McB reviewed

My Dr’s office charges $20 more for this. I have tried all the over the counter products but they always felt greasy or didn’t protect that well from the sun. This product is great! This product leaves my skin feeling soft and non greasy. Even after 10 hours at work my skin still feels great. Works well under makeup also. I am in the sun a lot and Elta MD protects my skin better than anything else. The tinted is also great for days you don’t feel like wearing makeup. Tossed all my other products. — Carol from Santa Rosa reviewed

Holy grail all-in-one sunscreen and tinted moisturizer

I love that this has a slight tint. I would consider myself very fair and this did not look orange after applying and smoothing onto my skin. It gave me a slight healthy glow and covered imperfections well. The sunscreen did not make my eyes water or burn, which typically happens to me! It was very moisturizing and I LOVE that it is oil-free! I can’t believe some other products still contain oil when all it does is clog your skin. This was recommended to me by both an esthetician and dermatologist. I am a loyal customer now . — Chaser reviewed

… to EltaMD provides enough coverage to make it look like I have foundation on

I don’t use any make-up and have found that the tint to EltaMD provides enough coverage to make it look like I have foundation on. My husband commented that my eyes look less "wrinkled". I love that a little bit goes a long way. There is no scent which is the most important factor since I have very sensitive skin as well as many allergies to foods and chemicals. (I have no reactions to this product). I live in the SW and the sun is always shining and the humidity barely exists. After 2-3 min after application, I will put a moisturizer over and my skin feels lucious.

EltaMD provides sample packets which is how I first tried this product. That would be my suggestion if you are at all skeptical. — Jessica Moody reviewed

Can be used with or without foundation

I bought this product after watching a makeup tutorial on YouTube. Applying this and waiting 10 minutes before applying my foundation gave me a nice smooth complexion and a high level of sun protection. I could have easily worn this sunscreen alone. I did purchase the wrong tint color the first time I ordered it but was able to quickly and easily exchange it with this seller. Be careful to read the tint color to ensure you purchase the right one the first time! — Debbie reviewed

Protective and light!

I have been suggested by the dermatologist to use a tinted Sunscreen broad spectrum (in and outside) and that is the product the doctor recommended. I tried it and love it! The light feeling that it leaves on the skin is perfect. No heaviness, no sticky feeling at all. I would be careful not to wear if close to the eyes when going at the beach or when sweating profusely. This will run into the eyes. An experience you don’t want. If you sweat and are wearing a hat, it can be transferred to the rim of the hat. Other than those two things I do like the product a lot. It is great to wear under makeup too. The skin is our biggest organ and we have to protect it against the sun’s damaging rays. EltaMD UV Daily Tinted Facial Sunscreen Broad-Spectrum SPF 40 is a good way to do that. — TikTok Victoria reviewed
