A 100% mineral SPF 40 that protects while helping improve the look of skin that already carries sun damage.
Product Info

EltaMD UV Restore Broad-Spectrum SPF 40 is a 100% mineral sunscreen made for skin that already carries sun damage. Alongside 15% zinc oxide and 2% titanium dioxide, it pairs ginger root extract and saccharide isomerate with vitamins C and E to help improve smoothness, soften the look of dark spots, and reduce the appearance of fine lines — while defending against UV, infrared, and high-energy visible light.

Key ingredients

  • Zinc Oxide — reflects and scatters UVA and UVB rays
  • Ginger Root Extract — improves the look of tone, texture, and discoloration
  • Saccharide Isomerate — minimizes the appearance of pollution-related dark spots and soothes irritation
  • Squalane — restores the skin's natural moisture and suppleness

How to use

Apply liberally to face and neck 15 minutes before sun exposure. Reapply at least every 2 hours. Use a water-resistant sunscreen if swimming or sweating.

Dye-free, fragrance-free, oil-free, paraben-free, noncomedogenic. 1.7 oz

How to Use

Step 1: Complete your morning routine, letting serums and moisturizer absorb fully.
Step 2: Apply UV Restore liberally to the face and neck 15 minutes before sun exposure. Use roughly a nickel-sized amount for the face alone.
Step 3: Reapply at least every 2 hours, and more often with extended time outdoors.
Step 4: Switch to a water-resistant sunscreen if swimming or sweating.

Sun protection measures: spending time in the sun increases your risk of skin cancer and early skin aging. To decrease this risk, regularly use a sunscreen with a broad spectrum SPF of 15 or higher and other sun protection measures, including limiting time in the sun between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. and wearing long-sleeved shirts, pants, hats and sunglasses. For external use only. Do not use on damaged or broken skin. Stop use and ask a doctor if rash occurs. Keep out of reach of children.

Mineral Shield

Key Ingredients

Mineral Protection
Zinc Oxide 15%

Mineral Protection

Zinc oxide sits on the surface and reflects and scatters both UVA and UVB rays. Paired here with 2% titanium dioxide for a 100% mineral active system, which is why this formula suits sensitive, reactive and post-procedure skin that does not tolerate chemical filters.

Ginger Root Extract
Tone And Texture

Ginger Root Extract

Zingiber officinale (ginger) root extract is the ingredient that makes this a restorative sunscreen rather than a purely protective one. It works to improve the look of tone, texture and discoloration on skin that already shows the effects of sun exposure.

Saccharide Isomerate
Pollution Defense

Saccharide Isomerate

A carbohydrate complex that binds to the skin for long-lasting hydration while helping minimize the appearance of pollution-related dark spots and soothing the look of irritation. Squalane works alongside it to restore natural moisture and suppleness.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know before choosing, using, and caring for your skin with Purity products.

Explore Help Center
How is UV Restore different from UV Clear?

UV Clear is built for blemish-prone and sensitive skin. UV Restore is 100% mineral and is aimed squarely at skin that already carries visible sun damage, using ginger root extract, saccharide isomerate and vitamins C and E to work on the look of tone, texture and dark spots while it protects.

Will a 100% mineral formula leave a white cast?

The untinted version can leave a light cast on deeper skin tones, as any zinc-based sunscreen can. Squalane keeps the finish comfortable rather than chalky, but if you want a sunscreen that disappears completely and evens tone on contact, choose UV Restore Tinted instead.

Is it suitable after a peel, laser or microneedling?

Mineral-only formulas are generally the preferred choice once your provider clears you to resume sun protection, because there are no chemical filters to sting freshly treated skin. Always follow the specific post-care instructions you were given, and keep treated areas out of direct sun regardless of what you are wearing.

How much should I use and how often?

Apply liberally to face and neck 15 minutes before sun exposure. Most people under-apply sunscreen, so aim for roughly a nickel-sized amount for the face alone. Reapply at least every two hours, and more often if you are outdoors. This formula is not water resistant, so switch to a water-resistant sunscreen for swimming or heavy sweating.

Can it replace my moisturizer?

For normal to combination skin, the squalane and saccharide isomerate often make it hydrating enough to wear on its own in warmer months. If your skin is dry, keep your moisturizer and let it absorb fully before applying sunscreen as the final step of your morning routine.
