Thanks for the heads up on the SkinStore Elta MD sale! I have used Elta MD products for years. Started with the UV clear, which I still love, but my hands down favorite is the UV Physical, SPF 41. The tint is perfect, it’s lightweight, absorbs to a non-greasy finish. I wear it everyday in place of tinted moisturizer (I hate foundation). It gives light coverage and evens out my skin tone. I use it as a concealer under my eyes as well. All mineral, no reaction. Perfection.
UV Elements is the first sunscreen I’ve ever really worn that I could wear everyday without it irritating my skin and was something I looked forward to using !
I love UV Clear in warmer months, but in winter, the UV Physical tinted is wonderful on my older, sun damaged skin.When I compared the price of UV Physical per ounce to another favorite brand of mine, The EltaMD UV Physical was actually quite a bit less expensive per ounce.
I like the differen sunscreen. It does not clog pores and it’s not oily or sticky. Absorbs into your skin like a regular moist. Just avoid near the eyes bc it burns your eyes if it gets in them in the slightest way
Thank you, Dr. Locke for your thorough review! I own and have used almost all of the Elta sunscreens mentioned. I’m a Fitzpatrick 2 and have normal to dry skin with rosacea. For untinted, my favorite would be the UV Daily and for tinted, I haven’t found the perfect Elta formula that I can wear alone. I really like the formula of UV Elements; however, the tint is too dark and yellow for me. To counter that, I purchased (last year), the UV Replenish untinted which is almost the same formula without the tint. Rather than mixing, I put down a layer of the Replenish, rub in well, let it dry down, then put on a smaller amount of the Elements to get the perfect tint for me. Unfortunately, the UV Replenish has been discontinued, but the UV Restore untinted would probably work well. I also use the untinted on my neck and chest. I find that some of Elta’s formulas stay tacky on my skin, so I have to powder over them. I’m not a big fan of foundation over mineral sunscreen as it tends to look thick and cakey, so I use the sunscreen as my foundation. Recently, my dermatologist gave me a sample of the Revision TruPhysical SPF 45 and it is perfect in color and formula! It also dries down nicely without a thick, tacky feeling. The downside is that it’s expensive, but it has a lot of skincare ingredients including THD Ascorbate which is great for sensitive skin and it is taking the place of my foundation. Revision is a medical grade skincare brand and can be found online often at a discount.
I’m ecstatic at finding your channel. My first video was the 3 drugstore anti-aging products. I’m dealing with hitting 40’s and scared of my aging process BUT I don’t like overdoing it, and the economy has destroyed my income as a single mom. Thanks so much for your help!!!!
Thank you for a great clarification!!! I’ve used the restore tinted and non for my neck. Also glow on my cheeks. Need a refill and your info helps narrowing down new options!!!! ❤
I was a die hard EltaMD for a long time but I just so tired of the pilling. No matter what I do even one layer pills. Then factor in reapplication and my face looks like I got a chemical peel.
The only EltaMD sunscreen I've ever tried is the UV Physical and, although the lighter tint was a good match for my face, it stayed on top of my skin and never absorbed or dried down. If I touched my face a couple of hours after application, it would still come off on my fingers.
So helpful!!!! Just bought Iv elements spf 44 and I love it under makeup and just as a little bit of a time to smooth out my skin!!.. I’m obsessed with your lipstick!! I have been looking for that color! May I ask what it is if you can remember?
Love the video! I love me some EltaMD but I also love the DRMTLGY dupes! The audio in this sounds a bit distorted, you may need to turn down the volume on the mic just a tiny bit to avoid this!
@@PrettyOrients I only know the Mychelle sunscreen (this actually dried out my oily skin) and the Dr. G Green Mild up Sunscreen (this has a tendency to pill). I've had a little luck with the Paula's Choice Super light daily wrinkle defense, but my face still needs blotting after a few hours. I'm trying one that Abbey Yung recommended in her recent sunscreen video that is a gel formulation next. I live in Houston and it's super humid and I am oily so it's a challenge for me. If you find anything else, let me know! Maybe one of the ones I've tried could work for you ☺️❤️
I use UV Elements followed by Bare minerals mineral veil. I previously have used Bare minerals foundations (liquid and powder) and have found the Elements does much better with controlling shine.
I use the UV Clear in both the tinted and un-tinted and love them. One of my most favorite sunscreens is by the company Suntegrity. It is a tinted mineral based sunscreen moisturizer that comes in a few shades and is really excellent. Would love to hear what you think of that brand.
I just tried it for the first time yesterday. Its a bit too dry for my dry skin. I switched from uv clear and uv daily as those were not 100 mineral. The elements is probably more hydrating but its tint is orange ish. What do u like about the physical?
The Elta MD UV Elements 44 is a great product but it’s too orange on me all day. I love the hyaluronic acid in it and how it makes my skin look soft. ( I’m 69 with some wrinkles). I love the all mineral formulations because the chemical irritates my eyes. The color is just too much pigment for me.
Maybe try the Elta Md Physical Tinted Water Resistant Spf 41 or their clear, depending on your needs. I have the Tinted, and I'd be a Fitzpatrick 2. Very moisturising and a lighter coloured tint that doesn't make me orange or pink. Heard it was the lightest coloured tint.
Thanks so much for this roundup video on the Elta MD sunscreens! I noticed there isn't a time stamp for the Elta UV MD Sheer Broad Spectrum SPF 50 sunscreen. Can you please do a video on this one too? It's a water-resistant mineral sunscreen with 15% zinc oxide. I'd love to know your thoughts! 🙂
I mix the uv 40 daily tinted and non tinted - my favorite sunscreen and this gives my fair skin a better match - love how it wears under my makeup - everyone raves about alastins hydro mineral and I’m really not a fan - goes on too thick
@@NotImpressed22 Good to know!! I do like their original spf 50, but I have found so many more affordable luxurious Asian sunscreens I like, I have been tending to stick with those! If I want to add iron oxides to the non tinted ones, sometimes I will use the Avene tinted spf or the Epionce tinted spf (my 2 favorite tinted).
For Christmas I was gifted Drmtlgy tinted sunscreen and I’m obsessed with how it looks and feels on my skin. Is the EltaMD better or are they both compatible.
I have trouble with getting fever blisters when in the sun. I use lip sunscreen but sometimes I don’t reapply like I should. Any recommendations on preventing them? Supplements? I wear a hat as well.
Love your content!!! Thank you!! Could you please discuss the skinbetter brand. I've seen all estheticians promote them on tiktok, but I know they're also very pricey, do you think they are worth the investment????
Which EltaMD sunscreen has a broad spectrum both UVA and UVB rays, higher than 30 spf, contains Zinc and titanium, water resistant that lasts than 40 or 80 minutes. It has no vitamin A in it and it is a mineral sunscreen?
I'm so overwhelmed I am 53 and my skin is pretty good I don't even wear foundation any more I don't need it but here is my problem I have oily to combination skin I am fair complected I just want a good spf tinted sunscreen please someone help with suggestions to many to choose from confused.
I love the Elta MD Sport SPF 50, but I don't like that it is so oily looking on my skin. I wish they made this in matte cuz it doesn't burn my eyes, no white cast after rubbing in, but looks like an oil slick. I blot a tad, but don't want to take the sunscreen off at all by slightly blotting??
Looking a little bit tan with the tinted ones would be strange with the other 99% of my body. What’s the purpose of a mica glow when I proceed with cosmetics including foundation? What does “80 minutes “ mean? For the very fair SPF 36 won’t cut it. I love Elta MD but all these choices upped the chances of choosing the wrong one. Oh, and I did try a variation of Elta once. Burned the hell out of my eyes, some sting the eyes and that wasn’t discussed.
Some of Elta MD sunscreen are chemical, which is probably why your eyes burn. If you stick to mineral only sunscreen around the eyes it should not burn. That’s what I do and haven’t had any problems since
I also have very sensitive eyes. I tried Suntegrity 5-in-1 and I had no trouble at all. I even applied it to my eyelids per Dr recommendation. The only drawback: 💸
What about Eltamd body lotion? A combination light weight lotion in a huge pump, for the same price? I used to use it on my face all the time, like a moisturizer. Great value.
For morning routine: I still use L’Oréal Revitalift (which I love) but the neutrogena vitamin C capsules are a bit irritating. Would you advise using Burt’s Bees day lotion with Bukinol/SPF 30 along with revitalift?
The daily and clear stung my face. The elements is too orange. I bought today the physical but haven’t tried it yet. Clear and Daily are not 100% mineral sunscreen.
In the summer, I am outdoors a lot and I play pickleball. I like Elta UV Sport which is spf 50 and is water resistant for 80 minutes. I don’t think any label is going to say sweat resistant, but if you’re in the water or sweating , you need to reapply. The UV Sport does not burn my eyes, so it works for me when I’m sweating a lot outside and I reapply when needed.
Does anyone know of a dupe for the Australian gold tinted face? I know its super cheap but not where I live, its more than double the price and really hard to find.
Hi, Im about to change jobs that requires to be outside for roughly 6-8 hours. What is the best sunscreen that I can reapply over and over? I have dry, slightly sensitive skin. I want to be able to protect my skin the best that I can, but I think with how often I need to reply this brand will be out of my price range.
Hi McKenna. You could try the Pipette Mineral Sunscreen SPF 50 if you haven't already. It's great for dry skin, but it does leave a white cast because it has 20% zinc oxide. You do get a lot for the price though! The bottle is 4oz for $12.
What about the Babo botanicals tinted mineral stick, spf50 for face? I’m surprised I like it so much, it stays, lightLy tinted, and looks so natural, it doesn’t look like I put anything on. I swipe it on and then rub it it to make sure I didn’t miss a spot. You might not like it if you have oily skin. On Amazon
Thanks for this comparison of their entire line. I have been overwhelmed trying to decide which would be best for me without leaving my skin greasy.

@susanmcf1
It's a great sunscreen and price point is also matches my needs but tint is way off for my olive skin tone.
You read my mind Dr Locke! I was searching for the differences of these and deciding which to buy and your video dropped! Thanks a lot

Just got the Elta MD clear for rosacea-prone skin, and so far I'm LOVING it!
Which elta is that one?

Do you wear moisturizer first?

Oh my ; so many options to choose from !!! Awesome, thank you! 👍

Any recommendations for oily skin? I've tried UV clear, but my oils peek through after about an hour. Would love a video on matte sunscreens!!
I would love to know any matte sunscreen too. Even most sunscreens claim to be non-greasy, they still leave a bit of shiny finish.

I would go with the ones geared towards acne. Those tends to be less oily overall.

I think that’s why I like it, for the reason you don’t, for me it’s good on my oily skin, soothing, non-irritating and a nice neutral tint 😊
@@laurenlovelessCRNP I see. That sounds right. Perhaps I should apply a heaver moisturizer underneath next time.

Stick with the AG! Cheaper, more product, has antioxidants and water resistant.

I could never find an Elta MD that didn’t pill on reapplication on my skin :(.

Hi 👋🏼 Sometimes but very rarely I get a light perioral dermatitis around my mouth. Would you recommend me the UV Clear or UV Daily for daily use? :)
Which would you use for permanent makeup eyebrows that doesn't burn eyes. Thanks
The lack of shades is very limiting… I opt for Colorscience instead…
FYI, the Colorscience is 25% off at Skinstore right now
Is it suitable for hypersensitive skin with rosacea
Hi I need sunscreen which can not burn my eyes can you help me which is the best opction
Why was the uv glow spf 36 discontinued?
I'm from🇮🇳 India, but thank you for guide skin treatment
Every last elta sunscreen broke out my skin. Go figure.
Same here. I had such a bad reaction and had to take steroids to calm my skin.
Do you happen to know how often they have sales?
I got burned with the sun … my mother got small tiny tiny bottles so I don’t get burned 1977 ish to 1983 ish that’s all we had back then
I know water resistant isn’t the same as sweat proof. Does this company or another comparable offer a sweat proof for those super hot sweaty days?
