What is EltaMD UV Skin Recovery Broad-Spectrum SPF 50?
EltaMD UV Skin Recovery Broad-Spectrum SPF 50 is a 100% mineral sunscreen powered by 2% AA Complex Barrier Repair Technology, a patented blend of three amino acids. Designed to protect, recover and strengthen even the most sensitive skin, it uses 12.9% zinc oxide for broad-spectrum protection, centella asiatica to calm and soothe, and a ceramide blend to nourish and reinforce the skin barrier. In EltaMD's 12-week study of 45 subjects, visible redness was reduced by 52%. The lightweight texture blends easily and absorbs quickly. Apply liberally to face and neck 15 minutes before sun exposure. Available at SkinCrew in 1.7 oz ($51).
Sourced direct from EltaMD: guaranteed authentic, batch-fresh, fast US shipping.
The problem
Sensitive, redness-prone skin and skin fresh from a professional treatment have the same problem: they need sun protection more than anyone, and almost every sunscreen stings, flushes or dries them out. A compromised barrier reacts to filters, fragrance and alcohol alike, so the daily SPF step becomes something to dread.
A sunscreen that strengthens the barrier while it protects.
UV Skin Recovery is built around barrier support. The amino acid complex, ceramides and centella work to minimize future redness and sensitivity, and the all-mineral zinc oxide filter is gentle on reactive skin. EltaMD reports redness reduced by 14% within 15 minutes and dryness reduced by 72% over its 12-week study, and tested it on skin after non-ablative laser.

EltaMD UV Skin Recovery SPF 50: mineral protection for sensitive, redness-prone skin
EltaMD UV Skin Recovery Broad-Spectrum SPF 50 is a 100% mineral sunscreen powered by 2% AA Complex Barrier Repair Technology. It is designed to protect, recover and strengthen even the most sensitive skin with a blend of gentle ingredients: zinc oxide for broad-spectrum protection, centella asiatica to calm and soothe, and a ceramide blend to nourish and reinforce the skin barrier.
In a 12-week EltaMD study of 45 female subjects with sensitive skin, assessed by a dermatologist, visible redness was reduced by 52% and dryness by 72%, with a 14% reduction in redness within 15 minutes. The lightweight texture blends effortlessly, absorbs quickly and leaves no white cast, and EltaMD tested it as suitable for skin after non-ablative fractionated laser. Available at SkinCrew, an Authorized EltaMD US Retailer, with fast US shipping.

Why UV Skin Recovery SPF 50 Stands Out
- 2% AA Complex. A patented blend of three amino acids, taurine, arginine and glycine, formulated to repair the skin barrier and visibly reduce redness.
- Ceramides and centella. A ceramide blend strengthens the barrier while centella asiatica calms sensitive or compromised skin.
- 100% mineral SPF 50. 12.9% zinc oxide is the only sunscreen active.
- Brand study data. Redness reduced by 52% and dryness by 72% in a 12-week EltaMD study of 45 subjects.
