User questions & answers

Question:	my boyfriend hates sunscreens and lotions, he play a lot of sports and get the worst sunburns ever, is this non grease and light weight
Answer:	To me it is not greasy. It is a cream so put it on lightly at first, then as you sweat put another light layer on. BTW, I don't like sunscreen either. Elta is an excellent product that many dermatologist recommend.
Question:	What is the expiration date
Answer:	I don't see an expiration date, for some reason I think it's about a year; however, you can call them direct at 800-633-8872...they may also be able to provide the names of any local DERM Types who may have it avaliable.
Question:	does it get into your eyes when your face sweats
Answer:	Yes. My face had 'milky' colored beads of sweat which eventually ran to my eyes. I did not like the new spf 50 formula because of the gloppy white 'beads' that never blended well BEFORE I got sweaty. The old spf 45 was better at blending, but it too would eventually produce 'milky' beads which would run in my eyes if I got really sweaty.
Question:	Will this stain white clothing like http://www.amazon.com/La-Roche-Posay-Anthelios-Sunscreen-1-7-Ounce/dp/B002CML1XE/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top
Answer:	I have used daily for several months and have not noticed any staining. It works very well and keeps my pasty white Irish skin from burning! ;-)

User questions & answers

Question:	How to keep it from stinging so much when it gets in your eyes (assuming you perspire in the sun
Answer:	Chemical sunscreens often can sting around the eyes since this area is more sensitive. Try either putting a mineral sunscreen around the eyes or using a stick sunscreen (use your fingers to get the product from the stick to your eyes).
Question:	Does this sunscreen go on before or after moisturizer
Answer:	This goes directly on your skin. It is a chemical sunscreen. So I order to work it has to react with your bare skin. Apply this, let it dry completely, then apply moisterizer.
Question:	Is this reef safe
Answer:	It is not reef safe at all!! To many chemicals.
Question:	Does it look transparent on the face or does it leave a white cast
Answer:	It looks transparent if you don't put on too much. Best to put on in small dabs first, and rub in. If you put too much on, it's hard to get the whiteness to go away, especially if you have a darker complexion. Also, I found that even if I did a good job of rubbing it in and it was invisible at first, if you sweat and have darker skin, it will turn a little white. Again, especially if you put a lot on.

User questions & answers

Question:	Is this product gluten free
Answer:	Haha. I’ve no idea. Why would it matter...? It’s a sunscreen not something you eat.
Question:	Can you still get a nice tan with it on? I wanna get some color but dont want to get burned
Answer:	You might, but I'm not 100% sure. SPF above 50 is all the same and the number indicates the minutes of protection you get. Maybe if you try the SPF 30 of this line and still repeat the sunblock every hour or so yo''ll be able to tan a bit without burning. In the past, when I was able to tan I could get a bit of color without reapplying a 50spf sunblock on my face more than twice, but I live in the Caribbean.Now, I cannot tan because I developed Melasma, so even though I live in the city I use this sunblock and reapply the same every 2 or 3 hours, as I cannot tan or my condition will worsen. I Think you should ask a dermatologist to be sure, but in any case the product is amazing.
Question:	expiration date
Answer:	The 2 that we ordered a couple of months ago, apparently had the date printed on some tamper-proof part of the packaging (which we did not look at). We purchased one last week and they are now printing the expiration date on the bottom of the yellow plastic container and it was fresh!

Why broad-spectrum sunscreens matter

Choose a broad-spectrum sunscreen with UVA and UVB protection. UVB rays are the main cause of sunburn. UVA rays also contribute to skin cancer and premature aging.*

*American Cancer Society, March 2016.

Age-defying sun protection

According to the American Academy of Dermatologists, wearing broad-spectrum sunscreen every day on sun-exposed skin helps prevent premature skin aging.*

*American Academy of Dermatology, June 2018.

Sunscreens for every skin type in every season

All EltaMD sunscreens are formulated with zinc oxide, a natural mineral compound. Because zinc maintains its protective ability in the sun, it is more photostable than some chemical ingredients that may degrade. Zinc is safe for even the most sensitive skin types.

In every season, skin damaging UV rays can pass through windows.+
