Works as a sunscreen, but NOT for dry skin.

Works as a sunscreen, but NOT for dry skin.
I bought this after a fairly satisfactory experience with the elta MD Clear UV SPF 46 for sensitive skin. I purchased this one because the other has gone significantly higher in price, and thought that since they are both EltaMD line, it couldn't be too bad.Overall, as a sunscreen, it does its job. Now if you're think about getting this, please read that line carefully "For Oily to Normal skin." This means it is NOT at all suitable for dry skin. I have dry and sensitive skin, even though I don't get reaction from the sunscreen, it's very very flaky on the skin. And this is AFTER applying lotion AND argan oil as a base.The picture quality is not very high but around the mouth area, you can see the white flakes. And yes, it has a rather strong white cast, but is not staining or anything.So overall, I would recommend it if you are short on budget with other EltaMD products or you do have oily skin.

5.0 out of 5 stars LIght texture with no irritation
Reviewed in the United States on November 29, 2021

I have used "Shield" for several years. It is the lightest chemical based sunscreen I could find for my sensitive, dry skin. I use it after applying my moisturizer. It is non-irritating and absorbs quickly. It does not leave a white cast. Often I will use a "tinted" sunscreen over it in place of makeup (EltaMD Physical tinted, or EltaMD Clear tinted). The 2 together, give me great sun protection without being too heavy. Shield does have Octinoxate, but it is not irritating nor does it smell. The product is fragrance free which is very hard to find in a sunscreen. It can be used on either face or body. I have found that 100% mineral based sunscreens are too heavy, greasy and leave a white film on my face. "Shield" is a good compromise.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent for my sensitive skin
Reviewed in the United States on November 17, 2021

I didn't realize I had sensitive skin but I tried every single sunscreen suggested by the Sephora associates and I got a rash from every single one. According to them they were 'green' products so I shouldn't have had a reaction. A coworker mentioned her dermatologist suggested EltaMD and she loved it. I tried it and sure enough, I had no reaction to this product. It goes on smoothly and lasts through 100 degree weather. I don't know about the moisturizing part because I use a moisturizer under it. Never tries it as a moisturizer.
I do highly recommend this product whether or not you have sensitive skin.

5.0 out of 5 stars Clear skin, high SPF, can't lose.
Reviewed in the United States on March 20, 2017

I really like this. For comparison, I had been using the EltaMD Moisturizing Sunscreen SPF 40 for the last year and I actually like this one better. I had originally chose the "moisturizing sunscreen" because of the hyaluronic acid content (I have dry skin from tretinoin use), but I really didn't find it hydrating enough - my skin would be dry and flaky by lunch and makeup didn't look great over it because it would settle in the dry spots. This one is way better. It isn't marketed for dry skin, in fact, it says "normal to oily" but I find it wears much better on my dry skin. It's not greasy at all, and it's not exactly hydrating (I do think oilier skinned folks would be happy with this), yet somehow I don't feel like my my skin is completely dehydrated at the end of the day anymore. I'm not sure if this is related but I've also found that my skin is clearer when using this? I never noticed until I switched to this that the other sunscreen was making me break out. +10 points for the higher SPF (45 vs 40 in the moisturizing sunscreen), and the larger bottle. Far more economical per ounce for a better product.

5.0 out of 5 stars Doesn't leave face shiny!
Reviewed in the United States on August 23, 2015

I have been looking forever for an untinted sunscreen that doesn't leave an oily/shiny residue on my face after. This sunscreen works great! The consistency is just right, more of a lotion than a cream that can be easily applied and spread. When first applied I thought it left a white film on my face, but after you rub it in well it doesn't leave a film. (I have tan/olive skin) A little goes a long way, so use it liberally. I found if I used too much on my face, that's when I started to see a white film. This sunscreen barely leaves a shine on my face, much better than any other sunscreen I've tried, which is a lot. The Neutrogena Ultra Sheer sunscreen leaves too much of a shine on my face, and I found this brand to leave my skin looking like normal. It doesn't make it quite matte, but gives it a natural look without all the shine.

I had previously been using Cotz tinted matte sunscreen because I wanted a tint sunscreen that wouldn't make my face shiny, but I decided to try an untinted sunscreen because the tinted sunscreen would get on my clothes or towels if I wiped my face.

4.0 out of 5 stars How to make it work
Reviewed in the United States on July 7, 2021

For deeper skin tones make sure you rub the sunscreen into your hands to warm it up and massage it into your skin. There are days when I can see a slight white cast but it’s minimal and those are the days I rush putting it on. For lighter skin tones this is great for you, for deeper skin tones it’s hit or miss but the ingredients are too good to not give it a try. It also lasts, I’ve had it for 5 months and I use it everyday. So it’s worth the coin if you do end up liking this!

5.0 out of 5 stars GREAT for oily skin
Reviewed in the United States on September 20, 2018
Verified Purchase
I have very oily skin and live a city that is super hot and humid in summer. This is by far the best summertime facial sunscreen I have used. It goes on so cleanly (w/o a sticky residue) that the first time I used it, I applied it twice. I was nervous that I didn't have enough on or that I wouldn't be protected! But it's fantastic. I use it on my face and chest and have not burned in the slightest, even walking around in direct sunlight. Oh, and I have never had a breakout or any irritation from it.
I have fair skin, so the slight white cast isn't a problem for me but it pretty much disappears after applied. I keep a tube in my bag all summer for reapplications in the afternoons after work - Even on top of my unwashed face, it doesn't feel sticky
Now that the weather is getting cooler, I think it may be a bit drying for winter so I'll be switching over to the UV clear (great product too!).

5.0 out of 5 stars The perfect sunscreen!
Reviewed in the United States on November 8, 2017

This is amazing! My eyes get irritated easily with some products so I can't use chemical sunscreen, but physical sunscreen likes to leave a white film on your skin. This one is more expensive compared to the others on the market but it's absolutely worth it. It's a physical sunscreen so it doesn't irritate my eyes and there's no white cast! It goes on very smoothly, too. FYI, I have oily skin and I found this to work perfectly.

The only complaint I have is the size. Since this can be used on both the face and the body, 3oz is not really that much if you use it everyday. In comparison, Banana Boat gives you almost triple the amount for only $7. I solve this problem by using Elta MD only on my face and neck, where it's the most sensitive, and use the chemical sunscreen I already have on other parts on my body where it's not as sensitive.

I am a fair skinned, 59 year old woman who has recently semi retired to the beach to a house with a pool. I try to take care of my skin despite over exposure to the Southern sun. This year, “regular”, National brand cream and spray sunscreens were causing my chest and neck area to break out in a rash. This product has been a lifesaver. I use it on my face (and also wear a hat) and chest and haven’t had the Dermatitis. I will order again and keep this in my beach bag!

Muy buen producto, es un filtro solar muy adecuado y amigable con pieles sensibles, mi piel tiene etapas que se irrita por todo y este bloqueador solar es muy gentil, no arde, prácticamente no tiene aroma, es ligero, claro teniendo en cuenta que es filtro físico y siempre dejan un aspecto blanquecino aunque se adapta pasando unos 20 minutos, no deja el rostro con brillo, por el contrario a lo largo del día se matifica, por lo que considero es bueno para pieles con tendencia a grasa. El precio es un poco más elevado que el común de los bloqueadores de marcas dermatológicas pero viene más cantidad en el embase, por lo tanto, si hacemos cuentas la relación calidad-precio es excelente.

Este producto lo compre por recomendación de mi dermatóloga y me ha gustado bastante. La consistencia es media, no la siento pesada en la cara. Al inicio deja una capa blanca en toda la cara pero en segundos desaparece. Deja mucho brillo pero de igual manera va disminuyendo. Yo TENGO PIEL SECA y al paso de las horas siento que me reseca un poco, pero es tolerable. Es olor es muy ligero y nada molesto.

Reviewed in Mexico on February 1, 2022

He probado muchos bloqueadores y este es mi favorito. Es mineral, super importante porque es malo usar químicos, no te queda blanco y no es pesado, es como si te pusieras una crema para hidratar nada más. El unico punto negativo es que conforme pasan las horas tu piel se ve más brillosa. Pero es perfectamente manejable porque en realidad es poco brillo comparado con cualquier otro bloqueador y no te deja la cara blanca ni un poco. Me encanta.

Mi esposa usa este bloqueador desde hace ya un buen tiempo, lo encontramos en Amazon a muy bien precio (más barato que en las farmacias dermatológicas), es un excelente bloqueador de uso diario ya que hidrata la piel y además no es nada grasoso. Por lo que si se tienen problemas de acné por ejemplo, no va a causar ningún problema. Altamente recomendado
