EltaMD AM Restore Moisturizer is a lightweight, oil-free daily moisturizer designed to hydrate, brighten, and smooth skin without clogging pores or leaving a heavy feel. Clinically proven to increase the thickness of the epidermis, this formula strengthens the moisture barrier while visibly evening out skin tone and texture. It is fragrance-free and noncomedogenic.
Key Benefits:
Fades Dark Spots and Evens Tone: Niacinamide (vitamin B3) helps diminish the appearance of dark spots caused by UV damage while calming redness and inflammation for a more even complexion.
Gentle Surface Exfoliation: Willow bark extract, a natural source of salicylic acid, encourages healthy cell turnover to smooth rough texture without irritation.
Deep, Lasting Hydration Without Oil: Sodium hyaluronate draws moisture into the skin and locks it in, while caffeine stimulates aquaporins, the skin's own water channels, to reduce flaking and improve moisture retention.
Antioxidant Defense: Ascorbyl palmitate (vitamin C ester) and tocopherol (vitamin E) neutralize free radicals that contribute to premature aging, helping protect skin from environmental stress throughout the day.
Clinically Proven Barrier Support: This formula is clinically shown to increase epidermal thickness, reinforcing the skin's natural protective barrier so it holds moisture more effectively over time.

If your skin is oily or combination and you need a moisturizer that hydrates without adding shine or congestion, this is designed for you. The oil-free, noncomedogenic formula delivers real moisture through hyaluronic acid and caffeine rather than heavy emollients, so skin feels comfortable, never greasy.
Ideal for anyone dealing with uneven tone, post-sun dark spots, or rough texture who wants a morning moisturizer that pulls double duty: hydrating and brightening in one step. It is also safe for sensitive skin, making it a smart choice if your skin reacts easily to fragrance or rich creams.
-
Apply: Smooth a small amount over the face and neck each morning after cleansing and applying serum.
Follow: Layer an EltaMD sunscreen appropriate for your skin type over this moisturizer to complete your morning routine.
Frequency: Use daily every morning as part of your AM skincare routine.

Is EltaMD AM Restore Moisturizer good for oily skin?
Yes. It was specifically formulated for oily and combination skin types. The oil-free, noncomedogenic formula hydrates with sodium hyaluronate and caffeine instead of heavy emollients, so it delivers moisture without adding shine or congesting pores.
What does the niacinamide in EltaMD AM Restore Moisturizer do?
Niacinamide (vitamin B3) helps reduce the appearance of dark spots from UV damage and calms redness and inflammation. Over time, it supports a more even, brighter-looking complexion. It also helps reinforce the skin's moisture barrier.
Can I use EltaMD AM Restore Moisturizer under sunscreen?
Absolutely. It is designed to be the moisturizing step in your morning routine, applied after serum and before sunscreen. Its lightweight, silicone-based texture layers smoothly under SPF without pilling or feeling heavy.
Does EltaMD AM Restore Moisturizer contain fragrance?
No. It is completely fragrance-free, which makes it a good fit for sensitive or reactive skin that can be triggered by added scents.
How does the willow bark extract in EltaMD AM Restore Moisturizer benefit my skin?
Willow bark extract is a natural source of salicylic acid. It gently promotes cell turnover, helping to smooth rough texture and keep pores clear without the harshness of synthetic exfoliants. This makes it effective yet gentle enough for daily use.
What does 'clinically proven to increase thickness of the epidermis' mean for EltaMD AM Restore Moisturizer?
A thicker epidermis means a stronger, more resilient moisture barrier. When the outermost layer of skin is healthier and more robust, it holds onto hydration better, looks smoother, and is more resistant to environmental irritants.
Can I use EltaMD AM Restore Moisturizer if I have sensitive skin?
Yes. The formula is fragrance-free, oil-free, and noncomedogenic, and it contains allantoin, which is known for soothing irritation. It was formulated with sensitive skin in mind and is unlikely to cause redness or breakouts.
