Reviews For EltaMD UV Restore Broad Spectrum SPF 40 Anti-Aging Facial Moisturizer
So far so good
I love EltaMD products. Have used the clear 46 sunscreen for years after it was recommended by my dermotologist. I also use several of their other products. I’ve been using this product for a little over a month. I like that it goes on clear and doesn’t feel overly heavy. It’s hard to judge at this point if it is restoring some of the sun damage I have.

Chalky smooth
I received a sample packet of the EltaMD UV Restore SPF 40 and the product was very smoothing and moisturizing with a slightly dewy finish. It made my skin look fantastic so after three uses, I bought the full size. The full size product leaves a drier, whiter, chalky finish that is not as pleasing to my sensitive, dry skin. If the SPF were higher, I would likely buy it again, but since it is not, I will go back to the La Roche-Posay mineral SPF 50.

Elta MV UV Restore Broad-Spectrum SPF 40
Skin doctor recommended. Don’t know how effective it is as I have not used long enough.

Restore Broad Spectrum
I like the product. The packaging stinks. The little pump doesn't dispense well and you have to keep pumping on it. Terrible and frustrating.

Quality face sunscreen!
My esthetician recommended this sunscreen because my skin is super sensitive, reactive, and severely dry. I’ve been using for several weeks now and I love it! Not drying like others I’ve tried, pretty lightweight for a physical sunscreen, and works great under makeup. Wish I could rate it 4.5, docking a half star because it does have a slight white cast which is really only noticeable if I’m not wearing makeup and if it’s super hot out (for skin tone reference, I’m half Japanese and half white. My skin is fair with an olive/warm undertone). Spent a couple hours in 95 degree weather last weekend and it didn’t stand up great, but still worth the wear to protect my skin. Not sure it’s possible to have an absolutely perfect physical sunscreen, but this seems to be the closest thing. Overall I love it and will keep purchasing!

Like Elta sunscreen but…
This one’s a little sticky feeling. Maybe it’s the squalane-I’ve never used that on my skin before. Will continue using other EltaMD sunscreens.

EltaMD UV Restore
I chose this sunscreen after reading all the reviews from Elta. I wanted a mineral sunscreen which gives me a good protection from the sun, I only have been using it for a couple of times but so far I have no brake outs and does not make my skin oily. If you apply a good amount it does leave little white spots but it disappears after time and it’s not noticeable. I like it and I would recommend the sunscreen.

Great Sunscreen
Really love the texture and tint of this sunscreen. I did find it was a bit drying after wearing it all day. I usually have this issue with mineral sunscreens. However, this one didn’t seem to dry me out as much as other mineral sunscreens I’ve tried.

Great spf
This spf dries down to a powdery finish yet leaves a sheen on the skin. It can easily be toned down with some powder. I’m really enjoying using this.

Good stuff :)
(40 years old, fair skin, dog walker- in the southern Ca sun all day). I’ve been using the EltaMD UV Clear for years...that stuff is perfect. I use it on my face, neck, chest and shoulders. Tried this new sunscreen because it includes some other anti-aging components. It works great, but in comparison- it goes on with that white sunscreen sheen and is a little more thick to spread on than the UV Clear (that’s why I docked a star). If you can get past that, it’s a great sunscreen! Doesn’t cause me to break out. As far as the additional anti-aging stuff... who knows right?...kind of just have to trust them.

Almost perfect
I love the feel of Elta MD UV Restore on my face, maybe a little too dewy but it’s bearable. The only bad thing is that it leaves too much of a white cast. I combined it with a tinted sunscreen and it really blends well. I think next time I will just get the tinted one.

Lightweight
Most of EltaMD sunscreens feel heavy or kind of chalky. This product is lightweight and spreads easy. I wish it was a wee bit more matte. I don't think pale or fair skin tones can wear this due to the tint. I have dry, sensitive, and mild rosacea skin. I have a neutral medium skin tone and this tint works very well for me. I really do like this formulation. Well played EltaMD.

On the fence
I usually love EltaMD sunscreen so I was excited to try this new physical SPF. It is a bit more drying to my skin and I had to work harder to blend in my skin to avoid a chalky finish.

Very good
Great consistency and coverage. Doesn’t dry me out. Knocking off a star since the tinted version comes off slightly orange on my fair skin. Hoping EltaMD can work on the tint color.

Great! But personally I prefer EltaMD UV Clear SPF 46
It was great, but I think I personally prefer the Elta MD UV Clear SPF 46. This one felt a bit more creamy for me compared to the other product. But this is just my preference, as I like a bit more watery texture.

Good sun block for tennis
I love Elta MD sun products and this is a new one for me to try. It does leave more of a white cast to my face than I like but the coverage is even and does not easily rub off or sweat off. The pump on the tube is not very efficient. I prefer a tube that delivers the product in one or two squeezes or pumps. It can take me five or six to get enough just for my face.

So far so good!
Love Elta love this one! So far so good it’s hydrating silky dewy and redness calming for sure.The only reason I gave it three stars is It’s too soon to tell if it helps hyperpigmentation but I would buy it again for the glow it seems to give!

Good product
I’ve been using the Elta Md 44 and decided to try the 40. It’s a very nice product but I like the 44 better because I like the Matt no shine look. The 44 goes on smooth and does look good on the skin. No breakouts and beautiful tint color.

Oily medium olive skin tone
I actually really like this. I tried the tinted but even with a medium skin tone it just looks a little red/orange, maybe just my skin but it didn’t look good so I tried the untinited. I really like the untinted, only a slight cast but easily covered with a little powder. My skin feels plump not oily. Works great under makeup.
