CeraVe 100% Mineral Sunscreen SPF 50 | Face Sunscreen with Zinc Oxide & Titanium Dioxide for Sensitive Skin | 2.5 oz, 1 Pack (Packaging May Vary)

Don’t waste your money. I’m not sure if this product just doesn’t work for Black ppl or it just doesn’t work at all. It dried up on my skin, wasn’t easy to rub in, and left an awful white caste on my skin.

I saw other reviews that said this product was hard to put on, looked pasty-white, shiny. This is not at all what I've found with this sunscreen product. It goes on semi-clear, smooth, non-greasy, easy to rub in. I compared it with the Neutrogena Sheer Zinc Soft-Touch 50, and the CereVe works better for me. It's easier to put on, it's more hydrating than the Neutrogena Sheer Zinc and doesn't make me look pasty-white. The Neutrogena is thicker and harder to put on smoothly, but it's got a higher amount of zinc oxide, whereas CereVe has titanium dioxide as well as zinc oxide. I apply my sunscreen every hour when I'm outside so the size tube could be smaller to fit into my pocket or fanny pack, but I'll still find a way to carry it with me. I like it and I know I'll use it. I'll still use the Neutrogena product in certain situations, but I think my go-to sunscreen from now on will be the CeraVe. I was not given any product nor was I paid for this. It's just my opinion from using both products.

It feels nice, but it looks terrible! The first time I applied “liberally” as per instructions (maybe a third of a teaspoon), and it looked like I was wearing white face paint. I saw the other review for this product and tried again with less product, but as I kept rubbing it did fade, but also microexfoliated my face and sort of crumbled, so it looks kind of cakey and I’m still much paler. I’m already pretty pale but this is quite noticeable. This would REALLY not work for anyone who isn’t very very fair in skin tone. It does *feel* much nicer than any other sunscreen I’ve used, so two stars.

I don’t understand what is going on here...... Cerave products are typically AWESOME. But THIS...this is almost impossible to use practically. Sure, does it create a natural physical barrier between your skin and the sun??? Absolutely! But, it does this by creating the most absurd white cast I’ve ever seen. This practically looks like white stage makeup. It’s impossible to work into your skin. The tiniest bit can cover your face but you look like your dying afterwards due to this white pigmentation of the product. And I must say, it did the exact opposite of hydrate my skin. It roughed it up if anything and got stuck under all of the dry skin turning over from using retinoid cream and irritated it causing redness in problem spots IMMEDIATELY. I’m pretty disappointed with this product. I was hoping it would be as hydrating and silky as the hydrating moisturizer made by Cerave. Ill probably go back to using greasy, chemical filled Neutrogena SPF just because it feels better on the face.

I put on sunscreen religiously.I absolutely hate this sunscreen for it’s misleading “hydrating, non-greasy” sell.It’s anything but hydrating. I have dry skin and was looking for a sunscreen that would be hydrating while I’m protecting my skin. Well, there’s definitely no moisture coming out of my skin because I feel like I put on a thin layer of clay.It’s my own fault for not reading that there was zinc in here when I bought it. I knew I’d turn a little white but JESUS I’m so white.Idk, wouldn’t recommend it unless you’re an avid outdoorsman. It’s not a daily thing to apply unless you enjoy the pasty, clay look.My poor eyebrows are saturated in this now.

My dermatologist recommended CeraVe sunscreen 50 SPF for my face following blue light treats for skin cancer. I have been using it for the past two weeks. The product is very thick and has to be rubbed in completely or it leaves a pinkish film on your face. I am very pleased with the results after using this cream. Better than most other sunscreen products.

I love Cerave skin lotion for my face, but this stuff...... Absolute crap, I think think this was invented as a seriously screwed up practical joke. When you apply it and rub it in on and into your face (or so you think you are rubbing it in) it leaves a slight white haze that you can live with because you think the rest will just absorb in.That’s when Cerave starts to giggle at you. Within 20 minutes of applying it comes back out giving you a deathly pale look about you AND now the product is full out laughing at you. .My story: In my extremely well lit bathroom I applied liberally because I burn easily, got it to a point of not having too much white junk on my face that I could live with and hopped on my motorcycle to meet my guys for a ride. Got to the first destination spot within 20 minutes and was met with laughter and taunts of being called Dr. Evil. I can take a joke because I give them too so it’s part of the game with my friends, but I refuse to walk around with this crap on my face making me look like a corpse.

It has pretty strong white cast. I went about 2 shades lighter than my normal skin tone with this on. It was also very thick and somewhat difficult to rub in. Although makeup applies nicely over the top of it and I didnt have any cakeyness or creasing. It did though almost act as a primer and it melted my powers to make them look more like skin which was a plus. If you have oily skin it might just make you look shinny... but anything to protect me from the sun.

Love love the sunscreen...not sticky or clumpy at all. Easily blend in after application. Would be back for more!!
