NOTE: This product is also known as ELTA MD UV CLEAR in the USA. It is the exact same product and formulation, only a different name. Health Canada does not allow for dual claims for products which means it cannot be labelled as a great moisturizer for breakout skin AND as an SPF. The Elta clear does contain SPF ingredients. The formula remains the same as what they use in the USA which has been tested and rated as an SPF 46.

Directions

• Apply liberally to face and neck 15 minutes before sun exposure
• Use a water-resistant sunscreen if swimming or sweating

• Sun Protection Measures. Spending time in the sun increases your risk of skin cancer and early skin aging. To decrease this risk, regularly use a sunscreen with a broad-spectrum SPF of 15 or higher and other sun protection measures including:

  • Wear long-sleeve shirts, pants, hats, and sunglasses
• Before use on children under 6 months: Ask a physician
