First off, the best thing about this product and the company EltaMD is that they are PETA approved which means they are 100% cruelty free. Amazingly this product is vegan as well.
Besides being animal friendly, this sunscreen is awesome! It's consistency is light and it soaks into the skin. My skin is very prone to severe cystic acne and so far this has not broken me out. I am SO sick of companies thinking that if you are looking for an oil free non pore clogging product that they have to put salicylic acid or benzoyl peroxide in them which makes acne worse. Luckily EltaMD has made this perfect product not loaded with chemicals and skin drying crap! An added bonus is that the niacinamide in this product not only helps calm acne prone skin. but it helps with aging. This product is awesome for those of us that have adult acne and are looking for something that won't break us out, dry us out and will have anti-aging benefits.
This is the best sunscreen as well as moisturizer that I have ever used! It's oil free, fragrance free and not tinted (thank goodness!).

This sunblock is great!! Goes on very smooth and moisturizes my face and it also feels very light. It actually smooth out my wrinkle and works great with my acne prone skin. Does not clog my pores. Since it's oil-free it does not make my skin oilier.

My dermatologist recommended this product because I refused to wear heavy SPF on a daily basis under my make-up. This product is incredibly light -- it does not have any of the icky, thick, greasy feeling of every other sunscreen out there -- plus it works. I use it absolutely every day -- even if I'm indoors -- just out of habit. It is very reasonably priced for something this high quality.

This sunscreen is the very best for oily, acne prone skin. I have tried so many sunscreens over the past few years but never stuck with them because they all caused my oily skin to look and feel oiler and all seemed to emphasize my large pores and make them appear even larger. When I went to a dermatologist for pigmentation issues she told me I MUST use a sunscreen and recommended this one when I told her of my issues. She said I would LOVE this one and she was absolutely right! I don't go a day without sunscreen now thanks to this product. Also, I have found my adult cystic acne has virtually disappeared since using this sunscreen. I have used proactiv solution and other systems for years and have been treated by a dermatologist for acne, but it has never completely gone away until using this sunscreen. I am very particular about everything I put on my face and I highly recommend this product.

Not only is this perfect for those with fair and sensitive skin but also for those with photosensitivity. I usually spend the spring and summer slathered in white sunblock and layers of clothing. Even with that protection I end up with severe sunburns and hives from any sun exposure. This year I tried Elta Md UV Clear SPF 46 and have had fantastic results since April. No sunburns, no hives, no breakouts, and my skin looks great! You cannot tell I'm wearing sunblock! I do wear a layer of my normal moisturizer first, then add the Elta, but it still just rubs right in to my skin. It lasts all day as well.I cannot say enough how much love this product. It really has changed how I feel about the sunny summer days.

This sunscreen is whisper-light, fragrance free and moisturizing. It absorbs quickly into the skin without leaving a tacky, sticky, oily or mask-like feeling and has no fragrance. I don't even feel like I'm wearing anything on my skin. I am 40 and have hormonal acne and melasma. This product does not block my pores and it does a great job protecting my skin from additional sun damage. In fact, my skin hasn't looked this good in years. I'm rarely inspired to write a product review, but I think this one is worth it.

I have acne prone skin. This product was recommended by my derm. I have been using for 6 months and I love it.

You could say I'm a connoisseur of facial sunscreen. This one is the best by far. I cannot even tell I have on SPF - it's that smooth and unobtrusive. I can use it everyday without any irritation, and it keeps my face from burning! While it does have minimal chemical sunscreens, it's not oxybenzone which is really bad. In all, an amazing facial sunscreen, highly recommend!

After many years of looking for a sunblock for my face that won't make me break out and can use every day I am now in peace. I found Elta UV clear 46.
This is incredibly light, disappears within seconds. I read about it in a magazine, as one of the featured female dermatologists favorites and thought I would give it a try. It is very easy to apply , no greasy stuff to work into your skin. Love it. Oh, and of all the places it is made right here, in Texas.

I am a male in his 20's with pale skin and never diminishing acne. As you can imagine, when I hit the beach or similar sun drenched locales, it's less Baywatch and more the before sequence of a Proactiv commercial.

The problem for me has always been that because of being so pale, in summer months I have no choice but to wear sunscreen unless I want to get burned. And wearing sunscreen almost always makes me breakout, even with oil free brands which in my experience, were never that effective at preventing sunburn anyway.

My dermatologist recommended Eltamd and it is unquestionably the best sunscreen I have ever used. Sure it's more pricey than your average drugstore brand, but it doesn't send my skin into turmoil, which means I can use it daily. And it stops me from burning, so it's worth the extra dollars.
