Question 1

Why is EltaMD recommended so often by skin professionals?

Accepted Answer

EltaMD is widely recommended because its sunscreens offer effective broad-spectrum protection in formulas that are lightweight and gentle enough for daily use — including for sensitive and acne-prone skin. The best sunscreen is the one you'll actually wear every day.

Question 2

What's the difference between tinted and untinted EltaMD?

Accepted Answer

Tinted formulas contain iron oxides, which add a subtle universal tint and can help shield against visible light (relevant for some pigmentation concerns). Untinted options are clear. We'll help you pick based on your skin and preference.

Question 3

Can I use EltaMD after a treatment like microneedling or laser?

Accepted Answer

Sun protection is especially important while your skin is healing. We'll tell you exactly when and how to reintroduce sunscreen after your specific treatment, since healing skin is more vulnerable to the sun.

Question 4

Do I need an appointment to get EltaMD?

Accepted Answer

No — but a quick skin assessment helps us match you to the right formula rather than guessing. Ask us at your next visit or call and we'll point you to the right option.
