EltaMD Clear Skin Daily Duo Kit: UV Clear SPF 46 & AM Restore Moisturizer

The EltaMD Clear Skin Daily Duo Kit pairs UV Clear Broad-Spectrum SPF 46 with AM Restore Moisturizer, the two steps of an EltaMD morning routine for oily and blemish-prone skin. UV Clear runs 9% zinc oxide with 7.5% octinoxate and 5% niacinamide, going on sheer with no white cast. AM Restore sits underneath it, an oil-free lotion with niacinamide, willow bark salicylic acid and caffeine.

Product Details

The two work as a sequence. AM Restore goes on first, after your serum, where willow bark keeps the surface turning over and niacinamide works on redness and the look of dark spots. UV Clear goes over the top, adding a second dose of niacinamide alongside the zinc oxide filter. Both are oil-free, fragrance-free and noncomedogenic, and neither leaves a cast.

Note that UV Clear SPF 46 is EltaMD's previous formula. They have since reformulated it as SPF 50, with 11% zinc oxide and 3.5% octinoxate, sold separately. Browse EltaMD skincare for the rest of the range.
