"A luxury sunscreen that comes to mind for me is the Elastin Hydroint Pro. This has such a cult following and in my mind counts as luxury. It's almost $80 for a sunscreen, but people rave about the finish of it that it's glowy but not too greasy."

"I gave it a three out of five as a sunscreen. I love how it looks, but I'm just not sure about the UVA coverage."

"The sunscreen that I'm talking about is the Elastin Hydrotint Pro Mineral Sunscreen. This one is an SPF 36 and it's a tinted mineral sunscreen. I really like how this one looks on my skin and I like it that I don't have to use foundation over it because it isn't sheer. It's tinted and it's got a pigment in it and the pigment is really pigmented. So you put it on and it is like putting on makeup. You can put makeup on over it and it works great with other makeup. But it's beautiful on its own, too. It [...] gives me that like sun-kissed tannanish glow. And it's very pretty and it lasts all day. So I love the finish on it. I love how it looks on my skin. I love how it plays with makeup. My only problem with it is the amount of zinc in it. It's a little low for me, but it's not super low. It's 3.4%. But this one also does contain titanium dioxide which mainly covers UVB and half the UVA spectrum. And the zinc really is there to do double duty on one half of the UVA spectrum and then it's the only thing in there for the other half of the UVA spectrum. So it's not like you're not getting any UVA protection. You are getting some, but it's not as robust as it might be."

"The Elastin Hydra Tint sunscreen was not a win for me whatsoever. It's sixty dollars for an SPF 36 sunscreen, water resistant forty minutes, a daily facial moisturizer with a tint. The tint was orange for me, very orange. The product peeled no matter what I did and I got a lot of pilling. I do not see that the price point justifies the product. It was an epic fail for me."

"I reviewed the Elastin Hydrotint, a tinted mineral sunscreen I've gotten a lot of requests to review. I finally gave it a go, and maybe I'm getting too snobby when it comes to tinted sunscreens, but for the price point I was kind of underwhelmed. I gave it like a three out of five, not bad, but I don't know, not worth it in my opinion. One thing I didn't care for about the Elastin product too is the packaging kind of leaks all over the place, and that's annoying."
