Difficult to spread

3 stars out of a maximum of 5

I had high hopes for this, as I usually love the Elta MD line. But this was difficult to spread and never really dried down. It even stained my swimwear.

Great sunscreen

4 stars out of a maximum of 5

I am a big fan of EltaMD products and this sunscreen is no different. Great coverage, highly recommend.

Just okay

3 stars out of a maximum of 5

I do love EltaMD products! But this product I'm not too sure about it, especially for the price and size of it. The amount of sunscreen you need to put on to ensure robust application, and the amount that is in this bottle just isn't enough....

EltaMD UV Active Broad-Spectrum SPF 50

3 stars out of a maximum of 5

Least favorite of the four Elta sunscreens I've tried that provide physical, chemical-free protection. Mainly unhappy with the thick, shiny, sticky film that transfers onto whatever I brush against. Nevertheless, like all Elta products, it delivers the protection that it promises. Feel confident in its water-resistant promise also.

Great Sunscreen

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

Although a bit hard to apply, it definitely has protection even when sweating or swimming. It's very useful for people with a very active lifestyle.

Not Transparent

3 stars out of a maximum of 5

I have used this before and I don't remember it being this thick and white.   I wanted an SPF to wear to the pool, lake, exercising outside but it looks like straight zinc.  I love EltaMD products but this one I guess isn't for me anymore.

Very thick

2 stars out of a maximum of 5

Not my favorite EltaMD sunscreen. I like a water resistant sunscreen but Active is just too thick. I was hoping it would glide on smoother than Sport but that is not the case. It is a very good sunscreen but not for me.

Game changer

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

Serious game changer! Protects my fair skin while hiking, boating and swimming without getting in my eyes. It applies nicely and leaves your skin glowing instead of looking chalky or white. Stocking up now for summer activities.

Great for active kids

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

I use this on my kids who are out in the Florida sun for hours a day. Coverage is great and no burns, just make sure to reapply per instructions. Yes, there is a white cast, it’s a mineral sunscreen! Haven’t met a mineral sunscreen without one! Rub it in well especially at the hairline and you’ll be fine.  If you want a mineral sunscreen for an active lifestyle this is great.

Works but classic sunscreen issues

4 stars out of a maximum of 5

This isn't a miracle product. It is sticky as heck and leaves a white cast. However, it does a wonderful job of protecting your skin and for days where I don't care how I look (I just want protection from the sun), I reach for this product!
