Frequently Asked Questions
Is this moisturizer safe for acne-prone skin without clogging pores overnight?
Yes. EltaMD PM Restore is non-comedogenic and oil-free, meaning it hydrates without blocking pores or triggering breakouts. This makes it ideal for acne-prone and sensitive skin types who need moisture but fear pore congestion from traditional moisturizers.
Can I use this after a dermatological procedure or laser treatment?
Yes. The fragrance-free, clinically-formulated composition makes it exceptionally safe for post-treatment and compromised skin barriers. Many dermatologists recommend EltaMD PM Restore specifically for sensitive skin recovery because it hydrates without irritants that could delay healing.
Does the fragrance-free formula reduce the risk of allergic reactions or irritation?
Yes. By eliminating fragrance—a common allergen and irritant—EltaMD PM Restore minimizes the risk of reactions, redness, or sensitization. This is especially important for reactive skin types, post-procedure users, and anyone with a history of skincare allergies.
Is this moisturizer tested to be safe for all skin types, including very sensitive skin?
Yes. EltaMD PM Restore is dermatologist-developed and tested across all skin types, including sensitive, reactive, and compromised skin. The oil-free, non-comedogenic, fragrance-free formula is gentle enough for daily use even on the most reactive complexions.
Will this cream irritate my skin if I have a history of dermatitis or eczema?
EltaMD PM Restore is formulated specifically for sensitive skin conditions. The fragrance-free composition, combined with barrier-supporting Niacinamide, makes it a safe choice for eczema and dermatitis-prone skin. However, we always recommend patch-testing first or consulting your dermatologist if you have severe sensitivities.
How do I apply EltaMD PM Restore for best results?
Apply PM Restore as the final step in your evening skincare routine, after serums and actives. Use a pea-sized amount and warm it between your palms, then press gently onto your face and neck using upward circular motions. Allow a few moments for absorption before sleep. Use nightly for optimal results.
Can I use EltaMD PM Restore under other skincare products, or should it be the last step?
PM Restore should be your final step after all serums, essences, and treatments. Its occlusive cream texture is designed to seal in the benefits of products applied before it. Applying products over PM Restore may reduce their efficacy, so always layer it last in your routine.
What's included in the EltaMD PM Restore package?
EltaMD PM Restore comes in two sizes: a 1.7 fl oz full-size pump bottle and a 0.5 fl oz travel size tube. Both are ready to use—no additional products or tools are needed. The full-size includes a convenient pump dispenser for easy application.
Is EltaMD PM Restore suitable for all skin types, including oily skin?
Yes. The oil-free, non-comedogenic formula is designed for all skin types, including oily, acne-prone, and combination skin. While it provides deep hydration, it won't feel heavy or leave a greasy residue. Even oily skin needs hydration at night, and this formula delivers it safely.
How does EltaMD PM Restore compare to a traditional heavy night cream?
EltaMD PM Restore is lighter and more efficacious than traditional night creams. Rather than relying on heavy oils or occlusives, it uses clinically-validated actives (Hyaluronic Acid and Niacinamide) to actively hydrate and support skin barrier function. You'll experience better results with less heaviness—ideal for all skin types.
What's the shelf life and storage instructions for EltaMD PM Restore?
Store EltaMD PM Restore at room temperature away from direct sunlight and heat. The product has a standard skincare shelf life of 12-24 months from the manufacturing date (check your bottle for batch information). Once opened, use within the product's expiration date. Keep the pump or tube cap sealed between uses.
Does EltaMD PM Restore contain any common allergens like nuts, gluten, or sulfates?
EltaMD PM Restore is formulated without fragrance, dyes, and common irritants. For a complete allergen list or if you have specific allergies, check the full ingredient list on the package or contact EltaMD customer service. If you have severe allergies, we recommend patch-testing before full application.
Can I use EltaMD PM Restore in the morning, or is it only for nighttime use?
While called 'PM Restore,' many users successfully incorporate it into morning routines as well. However, it's specifically formulated and optimized for nighttime use when your skin's repair cycle peaks. For daytime, you may prefer a lighter moisturizer with SPF. If using in the morning, apply before sunscreen.
How long does a 1.7 fl oz bottle of EltaMD PM Restore last with nightly use?
A 1.7 fl oz bottle typically lasts 6-8 weeks with nightly use (pea-sized amount per application). If you use more product per application or apply to body areas, it may deplete faster. The 0.5 fl oz travel size lasts approximately 2-3 weeks with nightly use.
