What the gurus are saying

The matte, shine-free finish earns consistent praise, even though this is a lotion rather than a gel, making it work well for those wanting moisturizing coverage without the oily look. Dermatologists highlight that it skips niacinamide, which may suit anyone sensitive to that ingredient, and note the tinted options with iron oxides are worth considering if you have darker skin tones and hyperpigmentation. A few gurus love the dewy finish it leaves; keep that in mind if you prefer something completely matte.

"If you are skin of color and you have hyperpigmentation, go for a tinted sunscreen with iron oxides. It could be EltaMD UV Daily. They're tinted options there."

"I have always recommended UV Clear and UV Daily because they look really nice on the skin and in my opinion these are the quintessential matte formulas. There is no shine with these sunscreens. They're a lightweight lotion formula though so they're moisturizing. They don't have alcohol denaturant like many gel sunscreens that I recommend for oily skin types but in contrast to a lot of lotion cream formulas they're not shiny. UV Daily on the other hand does not have niacinamide so that might help you out if you're sensitive to that ingredient."

"EltaMD is a dermlod brand that started in the derm offices. They do tons of clinical studies on their product and they really have a high standard. The EltaMD UV Daily doesn't have niacinamide and has hyaluronic acid and it gives you that nice dewy finish which I absolutely love because you're already getting your niacinamide in the remedy for dark spot product at night. So use remedy for dark spots at night. Use EltaMD UV Daily in the morning and that's your entire dark spot routine."
