EltaMD Skin Recovery Serum 1.0 OZ

EltaMD Skin Recovery Serum is a lightweight treatment for sensitive and dry skin under stress. It is built on AAComplex, EltaMD's blend of three amino acids: taurine, arginine and glycine. In EltaMD's testing, redness and irritation both dropped by 53% within 24 hours. Centella asiatica supports barrier function, panthenol soothes, and sodium hyaluronate holds water where the skin needs it.

Product Details

This is the treatment step, applied after cleansing and toning and before your moisturizer. The AAComplex is the same amino acid blend running through the whole Skin Recovery line, so the serum, toner and cleanser work on the barrier from three directions rather than one. Vitamin E works on free radicals alongside it. Fragrance-free, paraben-free, dye-free and noncomedogenic. Browse the EltaMD Skin Recovery line to see how the steps fit together.

Sealing it in at night? PM Restore Moisturizer 1.7 OZ is the night cream that goes over the top.
