Broad-spectrum protection
Guards against UVA and UVB rays to help prevent sun damage and premature aging.
EltaMD Sun Protection in Aliso Viejo.
Daily sunscreen is the single most effective way to protect your skin and your results. EltaMD makes broad-spectrum protection that actually feels good to wear — so it's easy to make it a habit.
Sunscreen you'll actually want to wear.
EltaMD is a dermatologist-recommended skincare line best known for its broad-spectrum sunscreens. Its formulas are designed to be lightweight, comfortable, and gentle — including options made for sensitive, acne-prone, and post-treatment skin.
Daily broad-spectrum SPF is one of the most important steps in any routine. It helps protect against sun damage and premature aging, and it protects the results of in-office treatments like microneedling, laser, and injectables — healing skin is especially vulnerable to the sun.
We carry and recommend EltaMD because it's effective and comfortable enough to become a daily habit. The best sunscreen is the one you'll keep using, and EltaMD's range makes that easy across different skin types and preferences.
At your visit we'll help you choose the right EltaMD formula for your skin — tinted or untinted, for the face or body, and matched to whatever treatments you're doing with us.

EltaMD FAQs
Why is EltaMD recommended so often by skin professionals?
EltaMD is widely recommended because its sunscreens offer effective broad-spectrum protection in formulas that are lightweight and gentle enough for daily use — including for sensitive and acne-prone skin. The best sunscreen is the one you'll actually wear every day.
What's the difference between tinted and untinted EltaMD?
Tinted formulas contain iron oxides, which add a subtle universal tint and can help shield against visible light (relevant for some pigmentation concerns). Untinted options are clear. We'll help you pick based on your skin and preference.
Can I use EltaMD after a treatment like microneedling or laser?
Sun protection is especially important while your skin is healing. We'll tell you exactly when and how to reintroduce sunscreen after your specific treatment, since healing skin is more vulnerable to the sun.
Do I need an appointment to get EltaMD?
No — but a quick skin assessment helps us match you to the right formula rather than guessing. Ask us at your next visit or call and we'll point you to the right option.
