Product Description

EltaMD UV Daily is great for everyday sunscreen use by all skin types.

EltaMD UV Daily is the perfect everyday sunscreen for all skin types, especially dry or dehydrated skin. With a sheer formula, added hyaluronic acid and Vitamin E, it hydrates and balances skin. It doubles as a lightweight moisturizer and strong sunscreen to boost moisture retention, fight fine lines, and protect skin from the sun. It can be worn alone or under makeup and comes in tinted and untinted formulas. The Skin Cancer Foundation also recommends this sunscreen as an effective broad-spectrum sunscreen.

Why DermWarehouse Loves EltaMD UV Daily:

This is the perfect everyday sunscreen, available in tinted and untinted formulas depending on your preference. Hyaluronic acid is included in the formula, helping to hydrate skin and boost moisture retention. It also helps to fight fine lines and wrinkles that form due to dehydration. Overall, this sunscreen protects against both UVA and UVB rays, making it a great daily broad-spectrum sunscreen. It’s effective for all skin types, but if you’re struggling with dryness or signs of aging, it’s especially great.

What is the difference between Elta MD UV Clear and UV Daily?

Elta MD UV Clear is formulated more for acne-prone skin and hyperpigmentation concerns, while UV Daily works more for all skin types as a daily sunscreen.

Q&A

Is Elta MD UV Daily Broad Spectrum a physical or chemical sunscreen?

Elta MD UV Daily Broad Spectrum is a physical (also known as mineral) sunscreen. Both chemical and physical sunscreens are effective at protecting your skin against the sun, it just comes down to personal preference. Daily Broad Spectrum uses zinc oxide and titanium dioxide to protect the skin against the sun's UVA and UVB rays.

Does Elta MD UV Daily leave a white cast?

Elta MD UV Daily Broad Spectrum can leave a white cast. We recommend trying the tinted version if you're concerned about this.

I love the sun protection and the way this product goes on my face. I really wish it came in a tube because I can’t tell how much is left and I have been surprised when I pump the last bit out and haven’t any more of the product. It’s very good coverage though and doesn’t leave a line on my face.

I've been using this Elta MD UV Daily Broad-Spectrum SPF 40 religiously, every day for the past 18 years! It moisturizes, as well as protects my face from sun damage and provides a great base for my makeup. The CLEAR goes on white but blends right in and disappears within seconds. I recommend it to all my family and friends because it's such a great product.

I heard of this sunscreen from one of my favorite YouTubers. It goes on smoothly and dries as if it’s not even there: no greasiness, stickiness or weird film on the skin. I considered buying it on Amazon, but was concerned the product might not be authentic or might be out of date. When I buy from DermWarehouse I feel confident the product is fresh and true. I also feel confident DermWarehouse would help me if I suspected a problem with the product.

This product is easy to apply and, I trust, effective in protecting skin against sun damage. I bought this along with the broad-spectrum spf 46 product--just to see if there was any difference. Other than the spf number, I don't see much outside of the higher spf number, which I'll reserve for those longer days spent in the sun. Good products that don't irritate my skin.

I love this product. It was recommended by a doctor after a facial procedure and I am now ordering it regularly, planning to use it daily even when I’m not aware of being much in the sun. The tent is subtle that keeps me from having to cover up the white of the zinc oxide products. A little bit covers my whole cheek.
