Glowing skin starts with protection. Sun defense prevents sunburn, premature aging, hyperpigmentation and skin cancer, and it’s the step that safeguards every dollar you spend on treatments. EltaMD has earned its place as a clinical standard in dermatology practices, and it’s the sunscreen line we trust and carry at Rejuvia.
Why broad-spectrum matters.
UV comes in two flavors, and you need protection from both. UVA rays penetrate deeply, driving aging, wrinkles and cumulative damage; UVB rays cause the immediate sunburn and DNA damage. Broad-spectrum formulas block both — and EltaMD products use active filters that defend against each.
What sets EltaMD apart.
Mineral-forward formulas. Many EltaMD products are built on zinc oxide, a physical blocker that reflects and scatters UV rays rather than absorbing them — a meaningful difference for sensitive skin.
Gentle on every skin type. Fragrance-free, paraben-free and non-comedogenic, with options suited to sensitive, acne-prone, dry and rosacea-prone skin.
Skincare inside the sunscreen. Niacinamide (vitamin B3) to calm inflammation, even tone and support the barrier; hyaluronic acid to hydrate and plump; antioxidants to guard against environmental stressors.
Finding your formula.
Everyday face protection.
UV Clear SPF 46 is the lightweight, oil-free formula with niacinamide and hyaluronic acid — a dermatologist favorite for sensitive, acne-prone or rosacea-prone skin, and it wears beautifully under makeup or alone. UV Clear Tinted SPF 46 adds a tone-evening tint to the same benefits.
Hydrating daily options.
UV Daily SPF 40 is a sheer, hydrating formula with hyaluronic acid for dry or normal skin; Tinted UV Daily SPF 40 layers in a light tint while it protects and smooths.
Higher SPF and versatility.
UV Sheer SPF 50+ delivers lightweight, higher protection for outdoor days and combination or oily skin. UV Pure SPF 47 is a solid all-mineral choice with broad protection.
Targeted and repair-focused.
UV Skin Recovery SPF 50 is 100% mineral with barrier-supporting ingredients and a redness-neutralizing tint — ideal post-procedure or for sensitivity. UV Restore SPF 40 is a mineral formula with squalane for hydration and sun damage repair.
Application, done right.
- Use enough. About a nickel-sized amount for the face, and a shot glass worth for the body.
- Reapply every 2 hours, or immediately after swimming or sweating.
- Wear it daily, rain or shine. UV rays penetrate clouds and windows — the weather is not your sunscreen strategy.
- Layer it last. Lightweight EltaMD formulas sit seamlessly under makeup and over your morning skincare.
Sun protection isn’t optional; it’s the foundation of healthy skin — and it matters doubly if you’re using active ingredients or investing in professional treatments. If you’ve had a laser treatment, peel or microneedling with us, daily SPF is the single most important thing you can do to protect your results.
Two myths worth retiring.
First: the SPF in your foundation is not a sun protection plan. Applied at real-world amounts, makeup rarely delivers the coverage on its label — wear a dedicated sunscreen underneath and let makeup be makeup. Second: darker skin tones still need daily SPF. Melanin offers some natural protection, but not enough to prevent the cumulative damage and pigmentation that sun exposure drives over time. Daily, deliberate protection is for everyone. The best sunscreen, in the end, is the one you’ll actually wear every morning — which is precisely why a line with this many textures and tints earns its shelf space.
