EltaMD UV Skin Recovery Mineral Sunscreen SPF 50 — Untinted 1.7 oz, Redness-Soothing & Lightweight

EltaMD UV Skin Recovery is an untinted, 100% mineral SPF 50 facial sunscreen formulated to calm visible redness while protecting sensitive and post-procedure skin.

Lightweight and oil-free, this untinted mineral formula absorbs quickly and is designed for daily facial use whether worn alone or under makeup. The pump bottle is travel friendly and made to slot easily into a handbag or carry-on. Gentle ingredients such as cica and ceramides work alongside zinc oxide to offer a non-irritating shield against UV exposure while helping skin look more even-toned.

How does this sunscreen reduce the appearance of redness?

The untinted mineral pigments diffuse and soften contrast on the skin, making redness less noticeable without adding color. The formulation combines calming botanicals with barrier-supporting lipids to soothe reactive skin while providing broad-spectrum mineral protection. Regular daily use helps the complexion appear more balanced over time.

• Untinted mineral formulation that blends into most skin tones
• Soothing ingredients like cica to calm visible redness
• Ceramides and barrier-supporting lipids to reduce irritation
• Non-greasy absorbency for use under makeup

Is this sunscreen suitable for sensitive or post-procedure skin?

Yes — the product is formulated to be hypoallergenic, oil-free, and non-comedogenic, minimizing the risk of irritation on sensitive or recently treated skin. Its mineral active ingredient provides a physical barrier rather than chemical filtration, which many sensitive-skin users prefer. The lightweight texture avoids pore-clogging heaviness while helping protect fragile skin during recovery.

• 100% mineral active ingredients ideal for sensitivity
• Hypoallergenic and non-comedogenic formulation
• Fast-absorbing, lightweight texture for comfortable wear
• Travel-size pump for convenient post-procedure care on the go

Will this leave a white cast or interfere with makeup?

The formula is designed to minimize visible whiteness and to blend into a variety of skin tones, making it practical for everyday wear beneath cosmetics. Because it’s untinted, it won’t alter foundation shades, and its quick-absorbing finish helps makeup layer smoothly. For deeper skin tones, patting and blending techniques can further reduce any residual cast.

• Untinted, low-white-cast formulation for most skin tones
• Absorbs quickly so makeup applies evenly on top
• Easy to apply with fingertips without residue buildup
• Works well as a daily base both with and without makeup
