Review: No other product out there can beat this sunscreen! - I wish I had found this product before because it would’ve saved me a lot of tears. This is a real lightweight and non comedogenic sunscreen which leaves no white residue on your face. As a person who had acne prone skin (yes, it’s now in the past), I struggled finding the right sunscreen for me. I bought many that were labeled “lightweight”, but they weren’t. Most would actually leave my face looking like a geisha because of the white residue left on the skin hahaha. This product not only stopped the reoccurring breakouts on my face, but it also minimized my pores size. I feel like I have baby skin now. I get so many compliments. I used to wear makeup every day to cover the dark marks and new pimples. I don’t wear makeup anymore unless it’s a special occasion. My skin looks hydrated and healthy. No more breakouts, no more dark spots, no more tears of desperation. I never write reviews, but this product exceeded my expectations. This is all I use now. I don’t even have to use a separate moisturizer.
Review: MD Elta 46 is the Beat in Every Way - I’m 52 and never wore sunscreen. About a year ago, I noticed some discoloration on my upper cheeks. I asked my dermatologist what I could do about it. He said that it was melasma from sun damage. He sold me a cream that contained hydroquinone and recommended EltaMD Tinted 46. So, I bought some. EltaMD seemed very expensive at the time. So, I bought a big bottle of another brand with a pump on it and used it every morning like lotion. Quick and easy. But, I could feel that I was absorbing what I learned were chemicals (I didn’t know the difference in physical and chemical sunscreen at the time). So, then I got into a rather obsessive series of chats with ChatGPT about chemical sunscreen (for months). Most chemical sunscreens in the U.S. use the same four ingredients. These ingredients do absorb into the skin and some impact hormones. So, I bought Zinc Oxide /Titanium Dioxide sunscreens. But, they literally turn your face blue. OK for the beach. But, you can’t wear it to work. People think you are low on oxygen and are dying. Definitely not worth the distracting conversations—especially if you’ve lost a bunch of weight taking a GLP-1. As I said, I became obsessed with this subject and know all of the chemicals used in the U.S and Europe along with associated target wavelengths (I didn’t look too much into Asian sunscreens). But, I’ll say that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration is really in the way with chemical sunscreens. The approval process is so expensive, the sunscreen companies don’t go through the approval process in the U.S. But, the Europeans have a lot of options. And they are very good options. Particle size, and some other characteristics, ensure that they don’t absorb into the skin, are reef safe, and don’t degrade quickly in sunlight. So, you don’t have to apply them every two hours if you are in an office and not sweating (because that’s the other thing—I’m not getting caught in the restroom mirror, or with a compact mirror, applying sunscreen at work). So, I ordered a lot of different European sunscreens to be shipped directly from Europe. Why so many? I learned that blue light is what causes melasma. And there are a couple of ingredients (Mexoryl 400 and TriAsorB) that stop blue light along with UVA and UVB. But they made my face shiny (like, your face looks like it is slathered in olive oil). I bought matte versions that were still shiny. Or they had perfume in them—very floral feminine scents (God knows I don’t want to show up at work smelling like a girl—or a Romeo fresh from a romp either). Some of the bottles were comically small (fits in the front pocket of your slacks without bulging) for exhorbatant prices that were exacerbated by high shipping costs. But, mostly, they are oily. So, I bought a great U.S. zinc oxide one that is very mattifying. Worked perfect… almost. The problem was that two layers of sunscreen (I didn’t want to give up the blue light protection) with a mattifier absorbing so much oil made it look like I was wearing foundation—and turned my face blue. I tried a lower zinc oxide spf concentration. Still blue. Then I got tinted versions (the first one was too dark and made me look like I was drunk). And, that much sunscreen makes you feel like you are wearing a mask and you can’t wait to wash it off at the end of the day. After washing, my face would be dry (don’t use Castile soap on your face). So, I bought moisturizers (several because ChatGPT gave me a whole regimen on a Word doc so I could tape it to my mirror). Some made my face oily. Some made my face sting (even the simple volcano water and hyaluronic acid stung). For the love of God! So, ChatGPT tells me that my barrier is compromised. So, I buy a bunch of mild cleansers. Cream to foam is not strong enough to remove caked on sunscreen. Squalene oil emulsifier works great. But, this was all too much. So, this morning I saw, among a bathroom sink full of so many products it puts my wife’s side of the sink to shame (she’s very unhappy with this obsession by the way. She says I look like a girl putting on make up (rubycell sponges are the best in case you are looking for that kind of thing))…. Well, to make a long story short, I saw an old bottle of EltaMD 46. Very smooth application (I think that it is the Octinoxate that creates the perfect viscosity). It feels like I have nothing on my face. That’s a great feeling. No white cast or blue face. The tint does not seem to wear off as easily on things like a white collar or the inside of a hat (probably because it spreads so well you don’t have to use a lot. I’ve purchased a dozen hats to protect me from the sun too. But that’s a whole n’other story). The bottom line is that my dermatologist was right. And, I could have financed a few years worth of EltaMD 46 purchases if I hadn’t gone down the European rabbit hole. Do not buy the EltaMD 50! It does not spread well. One more thing. The iron oxide used in the tint blocks blue light that causes melasma! Who would have guessed. I didn’t notice that message the first time I was reading the bottle label. Just buy the EltaMD 46. Trust me. It’s the best in every way.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Love this, even with moisturizer and foundation!
*by R***R on August 18, 2026*

Actually works with moisturizer and foundation! First, as many have said, this is the ONLY sunscreen I have ever liked for my face. It's not oily, doesn't burn my sensitive skin, and doesn't burn my eyes. Second, some people have said that it "pills" when they use it with moisturizer and/or foundation, so I hope this helps someone. After doing AI research, I found there are reasons for that -- basically, the ingredients are not compatible / don't work well together. With research, I found brands that do work together, so you probably can, too! I'm using LRP moisturizer. It and the Elta MD both contain niacinamide, and it is even helping to calm my rosacea! I'm using MK foundation, but again, there are probably some other brands that work if you ask the research questions. Of course I let it sit a few minutes in between moisturizer, EltaMD, and foundation, pat/gently rub on each layer, and then -- no pilling/flaking! Yes, this product IS expensive, but it has totally improved my skin, and I will keep using it.
