Is EltaMD UV Daily Hydration+ suitable for sensitive skin?
EltaMD specifically lists normal, dry, and mature skin as the intended skin types and does not specifically designate sensitive skin on the product page. The formula is identified as fragrance-free, hypoallergenic, and dermatologically tested, but highly reactive skin can still respond differently to individual ingredients.
Can EltaMD UV Daily Hydration+ be layered with serums and moisturizers?

Yes. ZincAOXPro Technology is designed to help protect skin from five environmental stressors, including UV rays, blue light, high-energy visible light, smog, and diesel exhaust. This adds an antioxidant environmental defense component beyond the formula's broad-spectrum SPF protection.
