Product Information
Full details
EltaMD UV Sheer Broad-Spectrum SPF 50+ is an ideal daily sunscreen for individuals with all skin types, including those with sensitive skin, who need a high-protection, weightless finish. It effectively shields skin from UVA and UVB rays while maintaining hydration through key ingredients like Hyaluronic Acid and Vitamin E. While it offers a versatile, oil-free formula that integrates seamlessly into any skincare regimen, users should be aware that, like all sunscreens, it requires consistent reapplication throughout the day to maintain its specified level of protection.

FAQs
Is this sunscreen waterproof?
EltaMD UV Sheer is designed for daily wear; please check the product packaging for specific water-resistance claims if you plan on swimming or excessive sweating.
Can I use this on my body?
While formulated for the face, it is safe to use on the body, though the 85ml size is best reserved for facial application.
Does it contain parabens?
EltaMD formulas are generally fragrance-free and paraben-free, focusing on clean, effective dermatological ingredients.
How often should I reapply?
As with all sunscreens, you should reapply at least every two hours, or more frequently if you are perspiring or wiping your face.
Is it safe for children?
Consult with a pediatrician before using sunscreen on children under 6 months of age.
Will this cause breakouts?
The formula is non-comedogenic and oil-free, specifically designed to be gentle on acne-prone skin.
Troubleshooting
Pilling under makeup
Ensure your previous skincare layer (moisturizer or serum) is fully absorbed before applying the sunscreen.
Skin feels tight or dry
Apply a lightweight, hydrating moisturizer underneath the sunscreen to boost hydration levels.
White residue upon application
Rub the product into the skin for a few extra seconds; the formula is designed to become transparent once properly massaged in.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To get the best performance from EltaMD UV Sheer, apply a generous amount to your face and neck 15 minutes before sun exposure. Ensure the skin is clean and dry for optimal absorption.
Compatibility: This product is compatible with most skincare active ingredients, including retinoids, Vitamin C, and AHAs/BHAs. Because it is oil-free and non-comedogenic, it does not interfere with the efficacy of acne treatments.
Care: Store the bottle in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve the integrity of the active ingredients. Always ensure the cap is tightly closed after use to prevent air exposure and potential degradation of the formula.
