**Due to supply chain challenges, and to avoid any potential out-of-stock this product may have a frosted clear overcap without the silver band as a temporary option.
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.

I have spots from sun damage and my cheeks are consistently red. I noticed a slight reduction in redness immediately when I switched to this sunscreen. I like the way it glides on and the "clean" feeling after application.

I have been using Elta products for years and love them. My dermatologist gave me some samples of this one and I tried it and it is now my go to day lotion. The difference for me between this one and the other Elta moisturizers is how silky smooth it is. It just feels soooo good on my face. I have not been using it long enough to comment on the “red color correcting” feature of the product.

Not only is Elta THE BEST SPF but this only really helps reduce red skin spots. It works wonders! We ALWAYS have this in our house and car when we go out for the day.

I’ve tried many moisturizers and this is the best. Doesn’t leave skin greasy or dry. I get so many compliments on my glowing skin.

I've been using UV Skin Recovery (green and untinted) since Lovely Skin began selling it. I have purchased more bottles than I can remember (whenever it's on sale I buy at least two spares). I use it every day and on my hands too. It does not cause any irritation to my skin and the green tint disappears completely. It seems to hold-up really well regardless of my environment (heat, humidity, cold etc.). I use it alone after a shower or, if the humidity is really low over a moisturizer. I have one major complaint: this sunscreen should be offered in a large format! I hope other sensitive skinned people enjoy this sunscreen as much as I do.

Sunscreen is so important to my skincare routine and I wear it every day! I have tried many. This one is my absolute favorite. It provides enough moisture, without being tacky or heavy, as well as some color correcting for my pale pinkish skin. My skin is so flattering with this sunscreen that I let my natural skin shine without any foundation. I absolutely recommend.

I have trouble with redness and sensitivity on my neck, especially when I use treatment products -- even treatment products for sensitive skin. This UV Skin Recovery from EltaMD comes the the rescue every time. Even if I am indoors, I use this daily because it calms my irritated skin and heals the problem. The green tint seems to help -- but also the ingredients in the product work to calm the skin more than cosmetically. I have noticed overall improvement in redness over time, and I am repurchasing this product again. Thank you!

I do like this sunscreen for while my skin is recovering from redness. It does help with that. I think it makes me breakout a little but not so much that I haven’t repurchased. Feels thicker than a moisturizer (like a typical sunscreen) but is definitely not irritating upon application like sooo many sunscreens I’ve tried on my dry sensitive skin. It’s my 3rd favorite sunscreen, favorite green one

It really works well calming red appearance on my face from rosacea. Plus the added benefit of SPF. Terrific combination, does what it says. Elta MD is the best for anyone suffering from rosacea. 'Will definitely buy again.

I normally use the tinted one but decided to try the green one since I do have some facial redness. This works just as good and blends in nicely.

The green shade reduces redness and all good ingredients support skin health and prevent sun damage. Goes on easily and smoothly, not oily or thick. Skin looks great. Love this product.

A 100% mineral sunscreen that truly leaves no white cast, given the green tint. Doesn't leave you looking green either, but does camouflage redness pretty well. Far less drying than other mineral sunscreens I've tried. Others have affected my skin barrier b/c they're like wearing a clay mask and absorb moisture from my skin. I still use a moisturizer before applying this, but I can reapply without it, and this truly leaves my face looking like I've not spent my day next to a window. Usually when I've found a sunscreen that works for me the company discontinues it. Sure hope they keep this going.

I have been reordering this sunscreen. I am on my second bottle. It goes on so smoothly, and is not thick or sticky. It doesn’t leave a greenish cast and doesn’t transfer onto clothing. It really does help calm the skin. It’s moisturizing as well.

Love this and works so well for a compromised skin barrier due to actives. Melts into skin and color blends out well.

My dermatologist recommended this product so I took a chance and ordered a bottle. I have used it now several times and am completely satisfied with the sun protection and how it blends into my fair skin. A bit pricey, but it is a recommended product.

My skin becomes red easily. The green base to this sunscreen helps minimize the excessive coloring on my face but I appreciate the color mitigation on my neck and décolleté where I don’t generally use makeup.
