"If your skin is dry, normal, combo, or recovering from a treatment, EltaMD UV Daily is such a feel-good sunscreen. It’s super hydrating and lightweight, like wearing a moisturizer that just happens to have really solid SPF. The tinted version gives a natural glow and helps even out the skin tone, which is great if you deal with melasma or dullness. It doesn’t include niacinamide like UV Clear, which we find especially helpful for acne-prone skin, but that doesn’t mean UV Daily isn’t an option. If you prefer this consistency, you can absolutely use it."

Boosts Moisture While Defending Against UV Damage

This multitasking SPF does more than block the sun; it helps visibly plump the skin and reduce fine lines caused by dehydration. The addition of hyaluronic acid supports skin hydration throughout the day, while zinc oxide provides safe, gentle protection for even sensitive skin. Vitamin E adds antioxidant protection and helps skin retain moisture.

Zinc Oxide

Sits on the skin’s surface to reflect and scatter UVA and UVB rays, offering broad-spectrum sun protection without chemical absorption.

Sodium Hyaluronate

Salt form of Hyaluronic Acid, which penetrates deeper into the skin. Attracts water, offering intense hydration and plumping effects.

Tocopherol

Fat-soluble antioxidant form of Vitamin E that protects skin from free radicals, reinforces the skin barrier, and improves moisture retention.

It absorbs quickly and wears beautifully under makeup, making it a favorite for anyone wanting a moisturizing SPF that will not pill or clog pores. Available in tinted and untinted versions for all skin tones. The tinted version adds a natural glow and helps even out skin tone.

“Apply UV Daily in the morning and use the mist to reapply over makeup. SPF wears off after a few hours regardless of the number on the bottle, so having an easy reapplication option really matters.”
