EltaMD UV Spray Broad-Spectrum SPF 46

Normally I hate wearing sunscreen, I would rather scurry from shadow to shadow than wear sunscreen but I had a month-long trip to SE Asia planned and staying out of the sun would be impossible. So I started doing all the research I could about sunscreen and decided I wanted something topical rather than chemical. Knowing that it would be really hot (90+ degrees with extreme humidity) I needed something that I wouldn't have to constantly reapply and that would stand up to sweat well. Finally, I needed something that I could spray through my really short hair so my head didn't burn. That seemed like a tall order to me but this sunscreen is perfect. It held up really well all day and although I should have reapplied I almost never remembered and never got burnt. It isn't oily so it didn't feel like I was wearing much, there is a little bit of a feel to it but nothing really noticeable. I could actually only feel it coming off when I used soap and then it came off cleanly so I felt really good after a cool shower before going to bed. The spray action isn't perfect but it works well enough to spray my head and work it in through my hair. In fact the only sunscreen easier to apply is the aerosol-type chemical spray but there is so much over-spray that you waste a lot. Maybe you can afford to waste relatively inexpensive sunscreen but I didn't want to waste this. Ultimately one bottle was good for almost a month of daily heavy application. It isn't cheap if you're a sun worshiper but it works well and I have a full bottle ready for next summer or my next sunny adventure!

I go through quite a lot of different sunscreens because I work out in the sun. After trying every single one at the drugstore, I decided to try this one after reading some reviews and recommendations by dermatologists. I love this. I can easily get hard to reach areas with the spray and it absorbs quickly. My kids love it because it doesn't make them cold like most aerosol spray sunscreen products; and my husband likes it because it is light, doesn't make him white, and doesn't make him smell like coconuts, bananas, or some strong mineral smell. The protection is effective; I've used it on sunny days when I'm sweating buckets and reapplying every two hours, and I have not gotten sunburned. While this is pricier than I'm used to, I would willingly pay for this sunscreen again because of its performance, ease of application, and appeal with all of my family members. Finally, a sunscreen we can all enjoy wearing!

I LOVE this sunscreen for myself and my kids. It goes on smooth, the skin absorbs it very quickly and it's very silky in texture. It does a great job, we have yet to have any sunburned skin when using it diligently. I thought I'd like the spray pump but it's awkward so I end up spraying it into my hand then rubbing it on the skin, so that's a little annoying. Otherwise I think this is the best sunscreen I've used, well worth the extra money.

We used this on a beach vacation where we swam off and on for a good chunk of the day. It worked very well, we never got a burn and best of all it is easy to apply to kids. My girl hates sunscreen so this is key. It goes on easy and rubs in easy and is basically invisible. So over all I'm very happy. I also tried the Sport 60 version(cream), I think the oil free one, It is also very good, but too white for kids and harder to put on, but good for your face etc.

My skin cancer surgeon recommended this product. It is the top sun screen that doctors recommend, and with my sensitive skin, I am relieved to find a dependable solution to the need for the best full coverage and less irritation to the face. I bought the whole line and am sending it to my whole family. If you are fair skinned all I can say is while having MOHs surgery there were ten patients in there, all of them being fair skinned. Don't be sorry later! I spray it on my arm arms and rub it in, a very easy and fast solution, with no oilyness.Take care.

I recently took a trip to Thailand and brought this with me. It was amazing...it absorbed quickly and protected my fair and sensitive skin from some pretty intense sun and humidity! Yes, you do need to spray the product, THEN rub it into your skin, so the application is a little different that advertised. But honestly, I tend to rub in spray sunscreens anyway, so it was no big deal. No scent, and not at all irritating. I'm buying two new bottles today...this can be used on a daily basis!

This was the perfect product for the whole family. The spray came out evenly and the top locked so it didn't leak in my bag. It is not greasy and went on white so you can see it and then absorbed in quickly. We spend a week in Florida with no sunburns! We used it on our faces too so we didn't have to carry 2 different products.

There are couple things to be aware of before purchasing this: 1) It goes on thicker than expected, almost like a liquefied lotion that you have to rub into your skin. However- it disappears about 5 seconds after, so no biggie. 2) It leaves NO residue. Zero! In fact, the first time I put it on I had huge doubts this would protect my skin. 3) It works- no burns anywhere after two hours of tennis. Doesn't drip, no scent, no residue! It is not what you'd expect from a typical spray (where you simply spray it and leave it on). But the fact that it does not contain oxybenzone or avobenzone (although it does have Octinoxate) and protects your skin without any sticky residue-- for me that's well worth the steep price. On a comparison note: I have tried the SPF lotion and while it works just as well, I find it tends to be a bit more sticky as it is thicker to rub on. The spray is just simply easier to use.
