EltaMD UV Shield SPF 45 is one of the best ways to protect your skin from the harmful effects of the sun. Exposure to damaging UVA and UVB rays lead to premature wrinkles and sun spots, but healthy skin care products with UV protection can reduce the effects of those rays. Over time, this exposure will reduce the basic structure of the skin. It only takes a few childhood sunburns to increase your risk of skin cancer.

This gentle product can be used on oily or acne prone skin. It is also appropriate for use by those with rosacea. The protective element in this sunscreen is 9% transparent micronized zinc oxide.
