But have you ever wondered about any of EltaMD’s other products? If their sunscreen is as great as it is, you would think some of the other skincare products they sell are worthy of a second thought.

And your thinking would be correct.

Things to love about the EltaMD Intense (Moisture Seal) Moisturizer:

  • Melts into skin

  • Only two ingredients - petroleum and paraffin

  • Great price for the 2.8oz volume

  • Sensitive skin friendly - there are zero pore clogging or irritating ingredients

  • A small amount covers face and décolletage 

  • Fragrance-free

  • Dual-function moisture, you can use it morning or night

It goes on clear and looks similar to an ointment right out of the tube, and melts into the skin quickly, giving your skin a pretty sheen.

This sheen soaks into the skin within minutes. Texture-wise, it is very emollient, so a little bit goes a long way.

If you use too much, simply pat off any excess shine 2 minutes after you put it on using a face tissue. Any excess in your hands? Rub it into your elbows or heels.

You only need a pearl-sized amount, but if you are used to a water-based moisturizer, there’s a learning curve with using less with a waterless moisturizer. 

All in all, this is an elegant, simple moisturizer that will not compete with any acids, antioxidants, or peptides in your routine, because there aren’t any. 

It’s single purpose is to moisturize, anytime of day.

The Intense Moisturizer is sensitive skin friendly, minimal ingredient, and it's silicone-free. 

If your skin doesn’t do well with silicone, you like a dual-function routine, and enjoy an affordable product, the EltaMD Intense Moisturizer is worth a try.
