I’ve really enjoyed using the EltaMD UV Skin Recovery sunscreen. It feels lightweight, absorbs quickly, and doesn’t leave a greasy or heavy feeling on my skin. It keeps my skin comfortable and protected throughout the day, making it a great choice for everyday use.

Absolutely loved it! Felt smooth going on, absorbed quickly without leaving my skin feeling dry. Layered amazing under makeup, with no white cast.

I appreciate the full mineral formula, but in order to apply enough to be effective, I ended up with a gooey-feeling, oily-looking face. The untinted formula was a marginal improvement over the green-tinted version, which I actively disliked. All that green tint did was add synthetic dyes to my skincare. It did nothing to reduce the appearance of pink skin.

I have been looking for a pregnancy-safe sunscreen that doesn't leave a white cast on the face and doesn't smell like sunscreen. This product is fantastic! I will definitely be buying more.

Non irritating to eyes, no white cast, silky smooth. The best sunscreen. Will continue to repurchase.

This product spreads easily and goes on with a white cast that fades in a few minutes. I use it on my face, eye lids, hands, neck and Décolleté. It plays nicely with my makeup. I do reapply several times a day if I walk outside in the afternoon. I live in AZ. The sun is brutal.

Goes on smooth and with the SPF, really protects your skin.

Its the first facial sunscreen that doesnt make me break out! Ive only been using it for a couple weeks so well see how it helps my facial redness.
Birch
★★★★★
I love this sunscreen. I have sensitive skin and it is wonderful. My face feels soothed when I apply it.
Olga
★★★★★
I use UV Skin Recovery along with the tinted version, and the results are amazing. My skin feels soft, protected, and less irritated. It has helped reduce both the redness and the white marks from past burns and surgeries.

My doctor recommended I use this after having some laser treatments and I have done what you said and its worked perfectly.

Can I have a 10 star option for this brand? I hate sunscreens. Never wear them. The texture, smell, feel is terrible. BUT this brand is life changing! No smell, no grease, no color, no balling up under my make up. I bought two! A daily and the recovery. I now use sunscreen daily thanks to this.

★★★★★
Good product! I would love it if it came available in a light tinted version.
Rachel
★★★★★
I have sensitive skin and this product works for me.
Heather
★★★★★
Really happy with this sunscreen, I have very sensitive skin particularly with sunscreen and Ive had no issues. It works really well under makeup. Will be repurchasing!
Emma
★★★★★
Feels great going on and easy to remove. NOT water/sweat resistant - I should have read the directions because there is no season here where sun doesnt = sweat.
Lila
★★★★★
Great so far for my sensitive rosacea prone skin. My husband has been using it too and I see a significant improvement in his redness.
Dany
★★★★★
Love the texture and finish of this product and the ingredient list and high spf is amazing. I wanted so bad to love this but this product severely dried out my skin even though it is supposed to help your skin barrier. I could not continue to use it.
Jessica
★★★★★
Excellent quality sunscreen. Protects skin from sun and leaves skin smooth. Highly recommended for any skin type.
Ellen
★★★★★
This product goes on easily, feels great and covers well without leaving any hint of white.
Grace
★★★★★
Best Sunscreen Ever! It is lightweight, non-greasy, and blends perfectly without a white cast. It hydrates, protects, and feels great under makeup. A must-have for healthy skin!
Susan
★★★★★
I half expected the UV Skin Recovery Spf 50 to be too drying for my skin without it containing Hyaluronic Acid. However, it was actually really moisturizing.
Lynn
★★★★★
Great product its perfect for playing golf even in the heat.
Christine
★★★★★
This is the most soothing, cosmetically elegant Mineral sunscreen. It provides high UVB protection at SPF 50. I wish the brand would disclose its PPD level for UVA protection, as thats equally important but unknown.
Julia
★★★★★
This might work for others. It spreads nicely and blends in without a cast. Unfortunately, I actually triggered my Rosacea. Might still work for some people with sensitive skin but didnt work for me.
Betsy
★★★★★
Just bought this and have used it twice. Its drying on my super dry skin. It does reduce my facial redness but it does not provide me with enough moisture. I have to apply it over my moisturizer. Torn about this because I need a higher spf for my extremely fair and sensitive skin.
Hannah
★★★★★
This sunscreen is fantastic. I was looking for something uber gentle for my angry face. This was exactly what I needed. I love the lightweight texture, how easily it absorbs, and how well it plays with other products.
Kim
★★★★★
I struggle with some redness and dryness. It is lightweight and no pilling. I have worn it alone and under a full face of makeup - no issues either way. Mineral based, higher SPF rating and gentle with my sometimes volatile skin.
Jamie
★★★★★
This is the best formulation ever. The texture finish is perfect on my dark skin. It sinks in perfectly. Whoever is behind this did an awesome job!
Amanda
★★★★★
As a Dermatologist this is the best mineral spf 50 sunscreen I have used in years. This is as close to no white cast as you can get with a mineral sunscreen and I truly dont see a cast when I apply it. I am going to add it to my patient hand outs because I am that impressed!
Paige
★★★★★
Hydrating enough, applies really nicely. Unfortunately broke me out. I do not have acne prone skin — so it must just be one of the ingredients not jiving with me. I ended up with pimples on my forehead, nose, cheeks and chin.
Linda
★★★★★
This sunscreen is exactly what I need after doing a cycle of Fluorouracil cream treatment on my face. It is not irritating and has been noncomedogenic for me. It also doesnt leave a white cast. I like it so much that Ill continue using it.
Kate
★★★★★
This is my favorite sunscreen! Not greasy, washes off easily, gentle, not irritating, doesnt make me break out. No white cast (at least on my fair skin).
Catherine
★★★★★
Feels great on my skin, I have redness and am sensitive to everything. I love this sunscreen now.
Deborah
★★★★★
This is the first product that has disappointed me, and unfortunately I bought multiples of it. I live in a dry climate and this stuff makes my skin even drier. Worse, the white sheen doesnt go away without lots of effort.
