Product Overview

Designed to calm skin and minimize the appearance of irritation, this unique lotion delivers hydration where you need it most while repairing the skin barrier. Formulated with proprietary AAC technology, mineral-rich copper and antioxidants, this pH balanced, oil-free moisturizer boosts cellular defenses while soothing and softening skin.

Key Features:

  • Ideal for most skin types
  • Free of alcohol, dyes, fragrance and parabens
  • Calms skin and soothes irritation
  • Contains rich minerals, which help to detox skin

EltaMD intentionally overfills items with airless pumps in anticipation that a small amount may leak in transit, especially in hot weather and/or during air travel. They do this in order to make sure that the entire amount of product is in the jar, even if a small amount leaks. For this reason, these items actually contain slightly more product than advertised before they are shipped to ensure the customer still receives an item with the appropriate amount of product.

This product is packaged with an airless pump dispenser, which uses a vacuum system to dispense the product. Please see this product's directions for further information on airless pumps.

Highlights

  • Minimizes irritation and sensitivity
  • Rebuilds a damaged skin barrier
  • Alcohol-free and oil-free

Ok

Good stuff but very light. Not good for dry or mature skin. Not hydrating enough.

Great everyday facial lotion

I like this facial moisturizer for late spring, summer and early fall. Layers well under EltaMD sunscreens, no pilling.

Lightweight but moisturizing

This is great for daytime - I use it before or with my Elta tinted spf. It glides on and a little goes a long way. It’s not enough for an overnight moisturizer but it’s great for under makeup and during the day.

Elta MD Skin Recovery Light Moisturizer

Elta MD Light Facial Moisturizer is my go to moisturizer to seal in skin ceutical serums or in summer to moisturize my freshly washed face. It feels and smells great, and I hardly know it's on my skin.

Very effective

I received a sample of this EltaMD Skin Recovery Light Moisturizer, which came in handy. My partner attended his son's early spring soccer match and ended up with a sunburned face due to his fair skin. A few days later his forehead started peeling. He asked if I had anything that could help. He applied this moisturizer overnight, and it worked wonders - almost like magic! I'm not the best at writing reviews, but I really appreciate receiving product samples in the mail. You've definitely got me hooked on things I never would have given a try!

EltaMD Skin Recovery Anti-Aging Light Facial Moisturizer

I use so many of the EltaMD products, and love them all, so I was certain, this was going to be a winner, with the anti-aging ingredients added, but it proved to be much thicker than I expected, and not easy to apply under foundation. I am staying with what I know and love, the EltaMD SPF 40 Light Facial Moisturizer!

I liked this better than their am moisturizer. Still lightweight but the texture was better, silkier and it moisturized better.

Great under SPF!

Been using this for awhile under their UV Clear SPF as part of my morning regime, and it's been great. It's light enough that it absorbs fairly quickly, but also has enough of a moisturizing affect so I don't feel tight even in the dry winter. My super sensitive skin (rosacea AND acne) likes it, and a little bit goes a long way over my face and neck.

Works great for CPAP marks

Having been a 25 year CPAP user I began to develop marks on my face along with dry skin. Once I began using this product my wife began to notice the improvement and my skin has never looked better

Eltamd light moisturizer

The moisturizer is light weight and non sticky. It soaks in nicely. A good base for your makeup.

It’s okay

It isn’t enough moisture. This is too light. Maybe I’ll save it until summer.

great for after a laser treatment

This Elta MD skin recovery anti-aging light facial moisturizer is very gentle and great for after a laser treatment. I have sensitive skin and I had no stinging. I live in the southwest/desert and this is not moisturizing enough after I have recovered from a procedure.

Worth it!

I’m very satisfied with this product. I love that it’s light weight and soaks in quickly. It doesn’t make my face break out and it has calmed the rosacea on my cheeks. I will definitely continue using it.
