Strengthen and Shield Compromised Skin

EltaMD® UV Skin Recovery SPF 50 goes beyond sun protection—it actively repairs the skin barrier while shielding against UVA and UVB rays. Formulated for sensitive, post-procedure, or reactive skin, it calms, protects, and restores—all in one step. Ideal for those needing more than just a basic sunscreen.

"If you have rosacea, sensitive skin, or redness after a treatment—this one’s for you. EltaMD UV Skin Recovery SPF 50 comes in two versions: one clear, and one with a green tint that instantly helps cancel out redness (color correcting). It feels super lightweight, blends in easily, and doesn’t leave a white cast. You can wear it under makeup or on its own, and it won’t clog your skin or feel greasy. Such a great option when your skin needs a little extra calm and protection."

Safe Daily Defense for Delicate Skin

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes EltaMD® UV Skin Recovery SPF 50 different from regular sunscreens?

Unlike typical sunscreens, this formula is designed to actively support skin recovery while protecting against UV damage. It features EltaMD’s AAComplex, which strengthens the barrier, reduces inflammation, and helps restore compromised skin—making it ideal for post-procedure use or sensitive skin types.

Can I use this after treatments like microneedling or laser?

Yes, absolutely. This sunscreen is specifically formulated for compromised skin and can be used right after procedures like microneedling, chemical peels, or laser treatments. It soothes the skin, helps reduce redness, and protects the healing barrier without irritation.

Will this sunscreen leave a white cast?

No. Despite its high protection level, UV Skin Recovery SPF 50 applies sheer and blends easily into most skin tones. It’s formulated for a cosmetically elegant finish without the chalky residue often associated with physical sunscreens.

Is it suitable for acne-prone or oily skin?

Yes. The non-comedogenic, oil-free formula won’t clog pores or contribute to breakouts. It’s lightweight and breathable, making it an excellent daily SPF for those managing acne, irritation, or combination skin.

How often should I reapply it?

Like any sunscreen, reapply every two hours when outdoors, or immediately after swimming or sweating. For everyday indoor use, applying it once in the morning is often sufficient—especially if you're layering it over skincare products meant to soothe or repair the skin.
