Elta MD UV Skin Recovery Broad-Spectrum SPF 50

100% Mineral Protection That Calms & Restores Sensitive Skin

When your skin is irritated, inflamed, or recovering from treatments, it needs more than just sun protection — it needs support. Elta MD UV Skin Recovery SPF 50 is a 100% mineral sunscreen formulated to protect against UV damage while actively helping calm and strengthen the skin barrier.

Designed specifically for sensitive, redness-prone, and compromised skin, this gentle formula delivers high-level broad-spectrum protection without stinging, burning, or clogging pores.

Protect your skin while helping it recover.

Why It’s Different

UV Skin Recovery goes beyond traditional sunscreen. It’s powered by Elta MD’s AAComplex Technology, a proprietary blend of amino acids that helps repair and strengthen the skin’s natural protective barrier over time.

Unlike chemical sunscreens that can irritate reactive skin, this formula relies on transparent zinc oxide for pure mineral protection — making it ideal for post-procedure care and highly sensitive skin types.
