Show Frequently Asked Questions
Why does EltaMD use mineral sunscreen instead of chemical filters?
Chemical UV filters work by absorbing UV radiation and converting it to heat, which can be irritating to sensitive, acne-prone, or post-procedure skin. EltaMD formulas are built around zinc oxide, a physical mineral that sits on the skin's surface and deflects UV rays without triggering the same inflammatory response. This is why EltaMD is the sunscreen most commonly recommended by dermatologists after procedures and for reactive skin types — it protects without adding stress to compromised skin.
Which EltaMD sunscreen is right for acne-prone or oily skin?
The UV Clear SPF 46 is our most recommended EltaMD product for acne-prone and oily skin. It contains niacinamide to calm redness and refine pores, zinc oxide for broad-spectrum protection, and has a lightweight, matte-finish texture that does not clog pores or leave a greasy feel.
Which EltaMD sunscreen is best for dry or sensitive skin?
The UV Skin Recovery SPF 50 is our recommendation for dry, sensitive, or post-procedure skin. It contains hyaluronic acid and antioxidants to support skin repair while providing broad-spectrum mineral protection, and is free from fragrance and common irritants.
Which EltaMD sunscreen is best for everyday use on normal or combination skin?
The UV Daily SPF 40 is designed for everyday use on normal to dry or combination skin. It combines broad-spectrum zinc oxide protection with hyaluronic acid for comfortable daily hydration and a natural finish that layers cleanly under makeup. It is a reliable all-rounder for clients who want straightforward daily sun protection without a matte or dewy extreme.
What is the EltaMD UV AOX Mist and who is it for?
The UV AOX Mist SPF 40 is a lightweight antioxidant sunscreen spray designed for reapplication throughout the day or for use over makeup. It combines broad-spectrum SPF with vitamins C and E to neutralize free radicals while protecting against UV exposure. It is ideal for clients who struggle to reapply traditional sunscreen over makeup, or anyone who wants a fast, refreshing SPF option for on the go.
Is EltaMD safe for use after professional treatments?
Yes. EltaMD sunscreens are commonly recommended by dermatologists and estheticians for post-procedure use because their mineral formulas are gentle, non-irritating, and free from chemical UV filters that can sensitize treated skin. The UV Skin Recovery SPF 50 in particular is designed for use on compromised or healing skin.
