Review: Great protection and texture! - This is our favorite sunscreen. It’s not heavy, doesn’t look bad underneath makeup, protects the skin really well. This was the only face sunscreen I used during my trip to Europe where I was very much exposed to the sun. I also like that it’s a physical sunscreen. I highly recommend it, mostly if you don’t have a very oily skin. Review: Amazing! Great for sensitive skin, doesn't feel greasy, and works perfectly under makeup! - I've been avoiding sunlight for decades, but occasionally it's inescapable. You'll never find me willingly soaking up the rays, but I do have to walk out to my car in summer, drive somewhere on my lunch hour, etc. I've gotten used to my foundation makeup having some SPF, but when I recently changed formulas, I was surprised to find zero mention of sun protection on the bottle. So off I went in search of a unicorn -- that is, a sunscreen that doesn't irritate my skin, doesn't affect the color or finish of my makeup, doesn't feel greasy, and doesn't smell like a day at the pool. I checked around the web for discussions about the best sunscreen to wear under makeup, and this EltaMD formula kept popping up. The price is definitely more than I would ever spend on something like this, but fortunately it's eligible for FSA, so I was able to put it on that account. I was a little worried about pilling because while some reviewers said it didn't pill at all, others said it pills badly. As for how it turned out for me... It's perfect. My skin is easily irritated, but I've been wearing this sunscreen daily for 6 weeks now, and my skin is happy. It's lightweight and feels like it moisturizes, so I use this instead of a moisturizer each morning, but it doesn't feel oily or greasy at all. It does have a little bit of a white cast to it, but that fades quickly and doesn't change the appearance of my foundation at all. And no, it doesn't make my foundation pill! I've come to the conclusion that whether or not it pills probably depends on the foundation itself, as some formulas may mix differently with it. In any case, Maybelline Super Stay 24HR Skin Tint works well with this sunscreen, so it's great for me. Overall, this has turned out to be a great buy. It's not cheap, but a little goes a long way, and it agrees with both my skin and my makeup, so I'll definitely be back for more! ## Features - BROAD SPECTRUM UVA/UVB PROTECTION: This hydrating face sunscreen with transparent Zinc Oxide provides broad spectrum SPF 50+ protection and helps protect all skin types from UVA and UVB damage without leaving behind a white cast residue - WATER AND SWEAT RESISTANT UP TO 80 MINUTES: EltaMD UV Sheer is a lightweight sunscreen that’s great for both daily use and outdoor activities, it’s formulated with Zinc Oxide and helps protect your skin during long days at the pool, beach, or park - IDEAL FOR IRRITATED AND SENSITIVE SKIN: This Dermatologist recommended face sunscreen is oil-free, fragrance-free, paraben-free, dye-free, hypoallergenic, and non-comedogenic so it won’t clog pores; use it alone or under makeup - HYDRATES WITH HYALURONIC ACID AND SQUALANE: Infused with hydrating Hyaluronic Acid and moisture boosting Squalane, this sunscreen face moisturizer helps skin retain moisture for a softer feel and visibly more supple appearance - CONVENIENT TRAVEL SIZE SUNSCREEN: This body and face sunscreen is TSA approved and comes in a convenient travel-size tube that easily fits in handbags, totes, and carry on luggage so you can protect your skin at home, work, or on the go ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B09XJHK59B | | Active Ingredients | 15% Zinc oxide, 10% Octocrylene | | Additional Features | mineral sunscreen face, face spf, mineral sunscreen, sunscreen face, best sunscreen for face women, best mineral sunscreens, spf moisturizer face, facial moisturizer with spf, face moisturizer for men, face lotion, sunscreen moisturizer face, mineral face sunscreen, sun skin care, face moisturizer with spf, moisturizer with spf, face sunscreen mois | | Age Range Description | Adult | | Best Sellers Rank | #6,271 in Beauty & Personal Care ( See Top 100 in Beauty & Personal Care ) #40 in Sunscreens | | Brand Name | EltaMD | | Color | Untinted | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 3,815 Reviews | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00827854002239, 10827854002236 | | Item Dimensions | 1.49 x 1.49 x 7.14 inches | | Item Form | Creams, Gels, & Lotions | | Item Highlight | Combined Moisturizer and Sunscreen, No White Cast, Lightweight, Sheer Finish, Water Resistant Up to 80 Minutes | | Item Type Name | Sunscreen | | Item Volume | 3 fluid ounces | | Item Weight | 3 ounces | | Manufacturer | EltaMD | | Manufacturer Part Number | 1202135 | | Material Type Free | Paraben Free | | Model Number | 1202135 | | Number of Items | 1 | | Product Benefits | Combines UV protection with hydration, serving as an effective body sunscreen and face moisturizer with SPF.
