EltaMD Skin Recovery Light Moisturizer

The EltaMD Skin Recovery Light Moisturizer is like a cool drink of water for your skin. This non-greasy formula feels weightless on skin, allowing for effortless blending and all-day wearability - yet delivers concentrated barrier-repair benefits through the patented AA Complex Technology. As the daily moisturizer of the Skin Recovery System, this is the lightweight, layerable hydrator that fits seamlessly into morning routines and pairs beautifully with SPF.

At Le Petit Spa in Charlotte, NC, we recommend Skin Recovery Light Moisturizer to clients who want a barrier-supportive moisturizer that wears under makeup without pilling, layers cleanly under sunscreen, and feels light enough for combination or summer-weather skin. It's the daily workhorse moisturizer for sensitive and compromised skin.
