Hydrating Mineral Sunscreen SPF 50 Face
Using this product have me looking like Casper the friendly ghost. My face is tinted blue when I'm done. It's ridiculous, super upset I spent my money on this!!!!
1 reply from Consumer Care Center team - 19 days ago
Hello! we are so sorry to hear about your experience! We know that looking like 'Casper' isn't the goal when applying daily protection. Because this is a 100% mineral sunscreen, the physical filters can sometimes leave a cast. A helpful tip is to apply a small amount in the palm of your hands, rub them together, and then apply to one area of the face at a time, ensuring it is thoroughly massaged into the skin. We’d love the chance to make this right for you. Please reach out to our team at 1-888-768-2915 M-F 9am-5:30pm,ET and provide case#46273474 so we can assist you further.

i hate this so bad that i typed in the target website in the search bar and logged in to review it
this is perfect if you love looking like a ghost. a ghoul. bts circa mid 2010s whitewashing era. on top of its whiteness, the formula is so thick that it feels like i am preparing myself to visit the sun itself. its not that serious. also if you wear makeup, good luck because it also pills. a formula like this in 2026??? but i am stubborn enough to use it all up. i have been mixing it with an essence or moisturizer to thin the formula out, which helps in spreadability but not whiteness so much. id suggest, in all scenarios of facial sunscreen, to go with asian beauty. any random korean or japanese one will be better than the american one that you find in your local store/retailer

Good buy!
My new favorite mineral sunscreen! It blends in much better than others I’ve used and it gives my skin a good glow. You do have to blend a mineral more than none mineral but it’s worth not getting all the added chemicals in other sunscreens. Reasonable price too.

Strong white cast! Does not fully rub in.
1 reply from Cerave Product Expert team - 1 month ago
Hi there! Thank you for sharing your feedback on our Hydrating 100% Mineral Sunscreen SPF 50. We are sorry to hear that you experienced a strong white cast that was difficult to rub in. Because mineral sunscreens sit on top of the skin's surface to reflect UV rays, they can sometimes leave a white tint, especially on deeper skin tones. For a more seamless application, we recommend applying a small amount in thin layers and rubbing it thoroughly between your palms before pressing it into the skin. If you prefer a finish with no white cast, you may enjoy our CeraVe Hydrating Mineral Sunscreen (Sheer Tint), which provides the same SPF 30 protection with a tinted finish that blends into most skin tones. Since you purchased this at Target, we recommend checking their return policy for a possible exchange. Your experience has been shared with our product team.

Persistent white cast
The white cast persists through washing. I appreciate it's water resistant formula, but it's not for everyday use unless you're okay looking like a ghost at a high price point.
1 reply from Cerave Product Expert team - 2 months ago
Hello Nina! Thank you so much for sharing your feedback about the Hydrating 100% Mineral Sunscreen with us. This SPF 50 formula uses Zinc Oxide and Titanium Dioxide to reflect UV rays, which can naturally result in a visible white cast, especially given its water-resistant properties designed for durable protection. Because these mineral filters are made to adhere to the skin, they can feel more persistent during your normal cleansing routine. A helpful tip to achieve a more transparent finish is to apply the sunscreen in small, thin layers, warming the product between your palms before pressing it into the skin. To ensure the minerals are completely removed at the end of the day, using an oil-based cleanser or a makeup removing balm followed by your hydrating cleanser will help lift the water-resistant layer effectively. This allows the skin to feel thoroughly refreshed while still benefiting from the essential ceramides that support your natural skin barrier.

Nice scent, but the white cast was too much
I will not buy this sunscreen again. It left a very noticeable white cast and buildup on my face, which became even more intense with multiple applications throughout the day. While it was moisturizing and didn’t feel overly greasy, and it had a pleasant, non-typical sunscreen fragrance, the white residue was too much for me. I’ll be looking for a different sunscreen option.

Hello Maia! Thank you so much for sharing your feedback about the Hydrating 100% Mineral Sunscreen with us. As this formula uses 100% physical filters to reflect UV rays, a visible white cast is a natural characteristic of the protective barrier it creates on the skin. A helpful tip for reapplication is to gently press the product into the skin rather than rubbing, which helps the mineral layers sit more evenly without excessive buildup. Using a tinted mineral formula or a chemical-based sunscreen may also be a great alternative if you prefer a completely transparent finish while maintaining the benefit of our essential ceramides.

Hydration, protection and skin-friendly care in on
I really love the CeraVe Hydrating Mineral Sunscreen SPF Face Lotion. It feels super lightweight on my skin, not greasy at all, and keeps my face hydrated throughout the day. I also like that it has ceramides and hyaluronic acid, so it protects my skin while taking care of it. It blends nicely and works great for everyday use. I also like that the packaging is recyclable, which makes it a more eco-friendly option.

This product keeps my face hydrated and smooth wit
This is an amazing product, by using it I have discover that I really like how absorbs into my skin. At first it feels think, but after a few seconds it feels in nicely and doesn’t feel greasy. It leaves face feeling hydrated and smooth. With their hyaluronic acid and ceramides that helps keep in the moisture. At first it doesn’t look invisible completely but after is blended it sits comfortable on skin without feeling heavy. My skin feels very fresh and not irritation at all.

White as theater makeup
This is not even usable due to how white it leaves your face and the fact it does not rub in AT ALL. I don't know anyone who would leave the house looking like this. Bad joke, Cerave.

Hello Ravenustar! Thank you for sharing your feedback on our Hydrating Mineral Sunscreen SPF 50 Face Lotion. We are sorry to hear that the visible white cast has made this formula unusable for your daily routine, as we strive to provide effective and comfortable sun protection for all skin types. Because this 100% mineral sunscreen relies on high concentrations of physical filters like Zinc Oxide and Titanium Dioxide for broad-spectrum protection, it can naturally leave a white finish on many skin tones. To help the rich texture blend more effectively, we recommend applying the lotion in small, separate sections to one area at a time and gently warming the product between your fingertips before pressing it firmly into the skin. We truly appreciate your honest review as we continue to develop more inclusive and invisible sun care solutions.
