EltaMD UV Restore Tinted Broad-Spectrum SPF 40 is a mineral facial sunscreen made for skin showing sun damage. Its 100% mineral filters give broad-spectrum UVA and UVB protection, and the formula works on the appearance of dark spots and fine lines. The lightweight, moisturizing cream blends into most skin tones for a natural tint that evens out tone. It is one of three 100% mineral options in the EltaMD range. For the same mineral filters at higher protection, UV AOX Elements Tinted is SPF 50.
