  • A: Is another product containing spf needed if i already use cerave moisturizer with 30 spf?

    submitted byLrizz - 8 months ago

Q: Does this act as a hydrating moisturizer, as in I could apply this after cleansing? If not, are there any mineral based products that hydrate, contains spf 30 (or above), and doesn’t leave white marks (unless it fades) for my skin?

submitted by Lia - 6 years ago

  • A: hi! I definitely am not an expert, but I would use this product after my normal moisturizer & cleanser. I think that this is typically for sun protection rather than moisturizing. or, you could use the Purito comfy water sun block SPF 50 for $15. I've heard really good reviews on it, it is fragrance-free and super lightweight, matte and doesn't leave white cast :)

    submitted byturtle - 6 years ago

  • A: Hi there Lia, thanks for reaching out. We always recommend to cleanse, tone, moisturize and finally layer with an SPF. We recommend applying our Hydrating Sunscreen SPF 30 as the last step in your skincare routine. You may like our Ultra-Light Moisturizing Lotion with SPF 30. This product moisturizes skin and leaves a matte finish while providing Broad Spectrum SPF 30 sunscreen to help protect skin from UVA and UVB rays. We hope you give this product a try, Lia!

Q: Do I need an extra SPF if I use cerave moisturizer with 30spf

submitted by Lrizz - 8 months ago

  • A: Hello Lrizz. Great question! You do not need extra SPF when using CeraVe Hydrating Mineral Face Sunscreen Lotion – SPF 30 - 2.5oz. We do however recommend applying every two hours if exposed to direct sunlight and immediately after swimming. We hope this information helps and you can use our products with great success!

Q: Does this dry clear or does it leave a chalky white residue like many mineral sunscreens I have tried?

submitted by mrsjb - 6 years ago

  • A: Hi there, we appreciate your interest in CeraVe Hydrating Sunscreen SPF 30 Face Lotion .Mineral-based UV filters form a protective barrier to help reflect UV rays away from the skin’s surface. Because the ingredients in a mineral sunscreen stay on the surface of the skin to help protect it, a white cast can sometimes remain after applying the product. Follow these tips to apply your mineral sunscreen: Dispense a small amount to one palm and rub your hands together Apply to one area of the body at a time and thoroughly massage into the skin The formula should spread easily without leaving a greasy residue or feel We hope this helps!

    Moisturizing mineral sunscreen with a thick texture

    This is a mineral sunscreen with a thick, creamy texture. It takes a little time to spread evenly, and it can leave a noticeable white cast on the skin. It feels moisturizing, but slightly heavy at first. I like that it's formulated for sensitive skin and contains ceramides and niacinamide. recommend applying it in layers and allowing skincare products underneath to absorb to help reduce pilling. Overall, it's a good option if you prefer mineral sunscreen and don't mind the thicker texture.

    Help with sun coverage during my pregnancy

    I had to use this sunscreen during my pregnancy! I was only allowed to use mineral sunscreen and opted for CeraVe! This brand has never stirred me wrong, so I decided to purchase! This was a good alternative to my regular sunscreen! It worked perfectly fine! However, I don’t like the white cast that it leaves behind! (Which is typical with all mineral sunscreens) I paired this with my CeraVe moisturizing face cream and the residue did diminish significantly!

    Great product not so great packaging.

    I love the Cerave tinted sunscreen. It gives me a nice glowy, sheer coverage. I don’t like wearing full coverage foundations so this is great for me. My only complaint is the packaging. It leaks and makes such a mess. Traveling with it in your makeup bag will have it covering your other makeup with sunscreen. I hope they improve the packaging and fix the spot where the liquid comes out.

    Dermatologist recommended sunscreen

    This is lightweight texture, daily mineral sunscreen, tube like a Katina is good to carry along. It’s for all skin type, so no irritation for sensitive skin people like me. It does give you white cast little bit other than that it’s a good one.

    Great for in a rush!

    I love this product for no make up days! It has a small tint to it so is perfect when you don’t want a lot of makeup. It also does not leave a white cast on your face. It feels a little weird at first like in a thick way.

    Perfect daily protection and hydration!

    CeraVe Hydrating Mineral Sunscreen SPF 30 Face Lotion has become an absolute must-have in my daily routine. What I love most is that, being a 100% mineral sunscreen (based on titanium dioxide and zinc oxide), it is super gentle on sensitive skin and doesn't cause any irritation. Unlike other mineral sunscreens that can feel heavy or drying, this one blends UV protection with hyaluronic acid and 3 essential ceramides. It leaves the face deeply hydrated with a smooth finish and a lightweight, non-greasy feel all day long. Perfect to wear on its own or right under makeup. Highly recommended for anyone looking to protect and moisturize their skin at the same time!

    Super lightweight on skin

    I have always loved this brand and the sunscreen is no exception. I’ve used both this one and the tinted. The tinted is great but can get a little oily. I don’t love the feel. This one on the other hand doesn’t really leave a texture on your face. Super lightweight.

    Decent cream, not invisible though

    It’s a decent sunscreen, quite effective and with no unfortunate consequences (like breakout). Neutral scent is a plus, but I wish the finish was less visible: at least on my skin this product leaves a white cast.

    Might feel greasy if you’re not use to wearing sunscreen.

    I use this product on daily base, It is so comfortable and last for a very long time. It does get the job done because I have been using it for a very long time. It also last you a very long time. If your new into sunscreen you might feel heavy, but over time you will get use it.

    Excellent sunscreen for daily use.

    I have been using this Sunscreen Hydrating Mineral Sunscreen SPF from 50 Face Lotion and I really liked it. It has a light texture, absorbs well and does not leave a greasy feeling. My skin is sensitive and has left me no instigation or outbreaks. In addition to protecting from the sun, it keeps the skin hydrated thanks to ceramics and niacinamide. The 75 ml container yields a lot, so it is an excellent soap option to use every day. I would definitely buy it again and I recommend it good aroma that does not bother its frequencies well.

    Moisturizing but leave a noticeable white cast

    I like that this mineral sunscreen feels moisturizing and is suitable for sensitive skin. However, it leaves a very noticeable white cast on my face, even when I try to blend it in well. For that reason, it is not my favorite sunscreen for everyday use.
