I just recently started using DE products and was a bit hesitant to try this out because tinted SPFs have made me break out in the past! But I am so glad I did! I LOVE this product! I use it every day, twice a day sometimes. I use this with the D-Bronzi anti-pollution drops for glowing skin. My skin is always dewey and beautiful and it never feels greasy or heavy how other tinted spfs have felt in payton-luv s. · drunkelephant.com

The Elta MD Tinted SPF is my holy grail. I find myself coming back to it each and every time. I’ve use it for about 3 years now. It leaves no white cast all all and it is tinted so it leaves the perfect my skin. It better coverage each and each time I wear it! People often compliment my makeup and are surprised when I tell them it’s a tinted SPF. I have hyperpigmentation and I trust this SPF so mu Cristina S · influenster.com
