Brand: EltaMDCategory: Sunscreen๐Ÿ’ง Hydrationโ˜€๏ธ Sun Protection
Benefits

Daily broad-spectrum protection โ€” light hydration โ€” a good makeup base โ€” fast-absorbing texture

Our expert verdict

In our experience, this formula is the standard for a flawless daily sunscreen: light, fast-absorbing, and makeup-friendly, with minimal white cast for most skin. The one caveat is that SPF 40 and its untinted coverage may not be quite enough, or leave enough of a cast, for intense beach sun or very deep skin tones.

How to use

In the morning as the last skincare step, apply to face and neck, then apply makeup. Reapply every two hours in the sun.

Key ingredients

Zinc oxide, hyaluronic acid, vitamin E antioxidants

Suitable for

All skin types, especially normal and dry skin
