    I went to a derm for acne in Jan 2009 and he had asked what sunscreen I was using. At that time i would occasionally use Neutrogena sunscreen (somedays i would forget). When he heard about this he...

    I am writing this about the Elta MD version of this. Thankfully, I got this in a swap. It is a lightweight, soothing sunscreen. However, it leaves a strong white cast if I use the required amount...

    I like this, but it's not up there with my favorite sunscreens. PROS: Stable, non-whitening, hasn't caused any skin problems, no discernible fragrance. Contains no oxybenzone or avobenzone,...

    I have the Elta MD Skincare UV Shield SPF 45, not the Gold version that some of you have. It is a sheer light, oil free forumula with zinc oxide. It leaves a slightly whiter/paler tint on my face...

    Sunblock is a must when using glycolic peels, AHAs, and to prevent sun damage in general. I get this sunblock with a discount from my derm. No breakouts from Elta. My HG sunblock.

    HG!! I hate how most sunscreens feel on my face because I have sensitive, dry/oily skin, but this is light, moisturizing, and feels great after it sinks in. It also doesn't leave a white cast if...

    This is by far the best sunscreen I have used so far for my face. I dont feel like it adds thickness or oil to my complexion. I use it every day!

    I think this would be perfect for someone w/ combination skin. There's no oil in it and you can put a big blob on your face w/o any sheen, and it was completely non-irritating. However, since I...
