EltaMDUV Restore,Face Sunscreen, SPF 40, Mineral Sunscreen for Sun Damaged Skin Repair, Anti-Aging Zinc Oxide Sunscreen Formula

I have been using this for over a year or two. I keep using it because I feel my skin has improved because of it. It is smoother and brighter. When you put it on it gives you glass skin. The tint is also perfect, not too much but enough to even your complexion. I haven't seen any other colors but the one I buy is more for medium to dark skinned tones.

I have mature, very sensitive skin, fair color. They say the best sunscreen is the one you'll wearI am wearing this one and enjoying it! Absolutely no redness or any sensitivity issueFeels cool, smoothe, like not wearing anything, not sticky either. Looks alot better than without a tint, has light coverage and light smoothing effect .Wish it had a little more coverage and smoothing. Tint color not perfect match but a B or B+. I think it may be improving my lines & skin texture!! Maybe the squalane? Soothing, silky not oily at all. Will likely repurchase, I trust it. Thank you for such a fine product!!

First time buying this and love it. Not oily at all, smoothing affect for sure, tint is perfect, works nicely under make-up!Didn’t need to use a lot so the bottle should last!

This sunscreen is one of Elta Md's all mineral sunscreens, using a combination of zinc oxide and titanium dioxide. I am unsure from the description of this product if it uses nano or non-nano zinc oxide; when choosing an ideal mineral sunscreen, one should ideally choose non-nano zinc oxide as the main active ingredient.This sunscreen spreads easily to the face, facial hair / a beard, and is easy to wash off. It is only useful / ideal for incidental sun exposure and is NOT meant for prolonged periods of time in direct sunlight.The top reason I WOULD recommend this sunscreen to anyone is the ease of application to the face; the top reason I WOULD NOT recommend this sunscreen is the high price / low quantity ratio.

I tend to get sun splotches and have them frozen off by a dermatologist. This recommended sunscreen helps protect my face and is very light, does not make your face feel greasy and does not hurt your eyes when you sweat. I have tried using several different types of sunscreen, this one seems to be the best feeling on my face.

I adore this product. I've used it for years. I am revising my earlier review which was critical of the the packaging design.At first I thought that the new packaging was keeping me from using all of the product....I was WRONG! With the old packaging I would cut open the tube when the pump no longer worked.There would be a lot left in there.When I finished the new packaging I got a saw and opened it up to see how much product was left....NONE!!! The new packaging ( which I criticized earlier) is actually a great improvement. There is a disc inside that moves up as you use the product. None is wasted. Wow! Great design!!! Apologies to Elta MD. Thanks for a fabulous product for my highly sensitive skin.

Tint: I'm in fair to medium skin tone range and the tint matches my skin very well. It has a natural finish but it is on the shiny side for me. I have normal skin and my face perspires a fair amount so it may not be shiny on drier skin. I use a solid cream foundation in a compact (which includes a physical sunscreen) to touch up through the day if it's not practical to just add on more of the Restore product or if I need to tone down the shine. I do see some improvement in my brown and red spots since I started using Restore a couple of months ago. I use a prescription hydroquinone product so that helps with the brown spots but it seems to cause/aggravate red spots. The Restore does seem to even out my complexion somewhat and does not dry my skin. I also use the ELTA 41 tinted. It is a lighter tint than Restore and provides more coverage for me, at least. The 41 lasts longer without touching up. No shine, but it's not really matte, either. I switch them out depending on what I'm doing that day. I only use physical sunblock on my face, which can be drying and irritating. Cycling in the Restore some days is keeping my skin "happier".I don't perceive any scent from Restore. I have somewhat sensitive skin and very sensitive eyes but I have no problems using Restore. I love ELTA products.

There's a lot to like about the EltaMD Restore Untinted:*The formula is creamy and easy to spread.*It's the most moisturizing of the EltaMD mineral sunscreens I've tried (much better than Elements and Physical).*It's dewy but not too shiny after dry down.*No fragrance.*It works well under makeup - no pilling.A few things I don't like:*It leaves a blue-gray cast on my very fair, very dry skin even with lots of rubbing and blending and it affects the color/tone of the foundation I applied over it. Again, my skin is very fair, darker foundations may better cover the cast.*After a few hours it settles into some fine lines and accentuates them (even under primer and a weightless foundation) - it's not bad, it's just average likely due to the thicker formula.*The pump is not great - takes a while to get enough product out.Summary: It's the most moisturizing sunscreen I've found so far this summer, but it leaves a stranger cast than most I've tried and the wear under makeup is just okay for mature skin.
