EltaMD AM Restore Moisturizer 1.7 OZ

EltaMD AM Restore Moisturizer is a lightweight, oil-free day lotion for oily and sensitive skin. Willow bark extract, a natural source of salicylic acid, keeps the surface turning over, while niacinamide works on redness and the look of dark spots from UV damage. Caffeine and hyaluronic acid hold moisture in without heavy emollients or oil. In EltaMD's testing it increased the thickness of the epidermis.

Product Details

This is the daytime half of the pair, worn under sunscreen. It absorbs fast and leaves no film, so an SPF layers over it cleanly. Ascorbyl palmitate, a stable vitamin C ester, works on free radicals alongside the niacinamide. The finish is matte enough for oily skin and gentle enough for reactive skin, which is a combination most day creams miss. Browse the rest of EltaMD barrier care to build the routine.
