Elta MD Sunscreen Showdown! | BEST Elta MD Sunscreens In-Depth Review: TINTED VS. UNTINTED 

UV Elements was my holy grail. I cannot believe they reformulated it especially since it was their second-best seller to the Clear.

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.

Excellent information. I have always found them very confusing. Now that reformulated, many people i know have stopped using. Your info was great. Think i will pass on all

Hi Dana! I believe they actually did a stealth reformulation of the UV Physical around the same time as Elements-they didn’t promote the new Physical but lots of us noticed a changed ingredient list along with the updated packaging. I’ve heard the new Physical is heavier and more orange than the previous formula! 😣 Curious if your tube is a recent purchase, or from the same time as the “old” Elements? Love the sunscreen reviews!

I wanted to love Elta MD. I tried every version and my dry, super sensitive, reactive skin didn’t get along with any of them. They each made my face feel hot and bothered. I started buying my sunscreens overseas because I seem to do better with the filters. I love EVY Kids, or my face does….I think your take rings true. Thank you for the review.

Hi Dana! It’s your favorite hybrid sunscreen lover, @sensitiveskinfinds! Isn’t it wild how you reviewed so many and it’s not even the entire spf range! I have such a love/hate with EltaMD. they were one of the first brands to have multiple hybrid options that are all sensitive skin friendly but now they are just tooo freaking expensive. 3oz bottles used to be their norm now it’s few and far between. This video does make me want to try the UV Sheer now! I would love a non tinted water resistant spf for running

I wear this if I get it free and heard its the best, now ive also heard they changed there formula and also it looks kinda orange and ppl complain about that as well....its a little to warm on me😅 it would be wonderful if they would do cool toned.... That would be great... Im starting to not wear this brand as much.... Too warm on me... Tinted I mean.... Good show honey!!!

The Physical SPF 41 was my favorite sunscreen when I used to wear foundation. Now that I no longer use foundation, I noticed how pale it makes me look, which is unfortunate, because it looks amazing-not too matte, not too shiny. It looks natural-like my skin, but better, with a slight glow. When I use it now, I put my usual 1/4 tsp, let it sit for a minute, then add another drop mixed with a drop of bronzer and voila-it works perfectly. Now I can keep it in my rotation, along with my other favorites. All the other Elta MD tinted sunscreens are too dark/orange and too shiny on me, even though my skin is light (not fair) with a neutral/warm undertone & normal/combo skin type.

UV daily was my HG for years - LOVE that one! Did you experience any pilling with the UV clear? It Initially applies fine, but as I start to rub it in and dry down, it pills . I googled it and the reviews are 50/50 about that which was surprising since it's their #1 best seller.

Thank you for this thorough review. Always felt overwhelmed by Elta MD (and their prices..). I think I'm going to continue skipping this brand! :)

Can you please do a video on good drugstore sunscreens?

Thank you so much Dana!

What is your all time favorite tinted mineral sunscreen to wear alone, and reapply for a day outside on vacation? Any brand?

I thought they discontinued UV Restore
