Review on ☀️ EltaMD Pure Sunscreen: Powerful Broad Spectrum SPF Protection for All-Day Sun Care by Amy Moultrie

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Works well, but wouldn't buy again because of the white tint

This sunscreen was developed by Dr. Dray recommended on YouTube. I only bought it for my face. (I prefer mineral sunscreen for my face because I sweat and chemical sunscreen gets in my eyes and stings.) PROTECTION: This sunscreen works well. As I said, it's abrasion and sweat resistant and seems to protect my skin well. (My complexion is fair to medium and I tan easily. I take long walks every day and this seems to keep me from getting color.) I have normal skin - neither dry nor oily and have not had acne or other skin problems. . It's a little more hydrating than most sunscreens, but doesn't replace a moisturizer for dry skin. There is no noticeable smell. DISADVANTAGES Despite the name "transparent zinc oxide", the white color tone is INTENSE. It makes my skin glow a ghostly white in any light, and it gets worse post-workout. (I'm guessing that's because sunscreen comes out of my pores with sweat.) Basically, I bought this because my regular Australian gold-colored sunscreen was messing up my mask and I wanted something spotless and lightly moisturizing. I'll empty the bottle because it works and half my face is covered by the mask anyway. However, I will not buy these again. If we're still wearing masks at this point, I'll have to find another option that doesn't leave me glowing in the dark. This product is probably suitable for children and for the body, but as a daily sunscreen for the body it is too expensive for me. I prefer cheaper chemical sunscreens for this.

Pros
  • Pleasant
