Q: Can I use this on my upper eye lids to protect them from sunburn

submitted by Judy - 2 months ago
  • A: Hello Judy. Great question! We do not recommend using CeraVe Hydrating 100% Minteral Susncreen for the Face SPF 50 2.5 fl oz on the eyelids. We generally recommend avoiding the eye area all together to avoid irritation, as the skin on the eye are tends to be more delicate.

Q: Does it leave a white cast on skin?

submitted by Ren - 6 months ago
  • A: Hello Ren. Thank you for your interest in CeraVe Hydrating 100% Mineral Sunscreen for Face - SPF 50 - 2.5 fl oz. This product relies entirely on Titanium Dioxide (9%) and Zinc Oxide (7%). These are physical blockers that sit on top of the skin to reflect UV rays. Because these minerals are naturally white powders, they are inherently opaque. As an alternative option we suggest you try CeraVe Hydrating Mineral Sunscreen SPF 30 (Sheer Tint): This version includes a universal tint that effectively offsets the white cast of the mineral filters. We hope this information helps and that you will give our products a try soon!

    Omg I’ve never had a sunscreen as bad as this one. It doesn’t rub into the skin it’s so white and it just lingers on your face.
    1 reply from Cerave Product Expert team - 6 days ago
    Hello Ava! We are sorry to hear that the Hydrating 100% Mineral Sunscreen for Face - SPF 50 did not blend smoothly and left an unwanted white cast on your skin. Mineral sunscreens rely on physical filters to reflect UV rays, which can sometimes require a little extra technique during application, and a helpful tip is to dispense a small amount onto your fingertips, rub them together to warm the product, and gently press it into the skin rather than rubbing vigorously. We truly appreciate you sharing your experience, and we will certainly pass your feedback along to our product development team.

    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.

    Do not recommend. Pros: It does feel lightweight going on & it does work well. Con: The white cast is off the charts. I'm pretty pale to begin with and this made me look sickly/ like a ghost. I tried it several times, but no matter how little I used or how well I rubbed it in, there was still a haze(for lack of a better word).
    1 reply from Cerave Product Expert team - 20 days ago
    Hello Albina! We appreciate your honest feedback and are glad to hear that you found the mineral formula lightweight and effective, though we are so sorry that the white cast was disappointing for you. Because this 100% mineral sunscreen utilizes physical UV filters like zinc oxide and titanium dioxide, it creates a protective barrier on top of the skin that can naturally leave a visible white haze, especially on dry areas. A wonderful tip to minimize this cast is to apply the sunscreen in small, thin layers, warming the product between your fingertips first and gently patting—rather than rubbing—it into well-hydrated skin, allowing each layer to absorb fully before adding more.

    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.

    Hello Kayla! We are very sorry to hear that our 100% Mineral Face Sunscreen left a noticeable white cast and did not blend in as smoothly as you hoped. Mineral sunscreens utilize physical UV filters like zinc oxide and titanium dioxide, which naturally sit on top of the skin barrier to reflect light and can sometimes be more visible on certain skin tones. A helpful tip to ensure a seamless finish is to apply the sunscreen in small, thin layers, warming the product between your fingertips first and pressing it gently into the skin one area at a time. Allowing the sunscreen to set undisturbed for a few minutes before applying makeup or other products helps the protective barrier dry down to a much more comfortable, translucent finish.

    Great Sunscreen

    This sunscreen is great! I’ve been putting it on everyday and my skin has never been clearer. There’s no strong scent, and there’s no white cast either. It isn’t too heavy on my skin and doesn’t make it look greasy either. Definitely recommend!!

    Disappointed

    My son is on a medication that makes him more susceptible to sunburn so I purchased this product. The good: definitely provides great protection. The bad: it left a very pronounced white color on his face. We applied only a little and massaged it for a long time but it did not fade. I hate to throw it away but I can't see using it
    1 reply from Consumer Care Center team - 1 month ago
    Hello smc1! hank you for sharing your experience with us. We are so glad to hear that our Hydrating Mineral Sunscreen SPF 50 provided the strong protection your son needs, especially while on sun-sensitizing medication. Because this is a 100% physical mineral sunscreen, it uses Zinc Oxide and Titanium Dioxide to form a protective shield on top of the skin to reflect UV rays, rather than absorbing them like chemical sunscreens. This physical barrier is highly recommended by dermatologists for sensitive skin, but it can unfortunately leave a noticeable white cast. We completely understand how frustrating this can be. To help make the product more wearable so you don't have to throw it away, we recommend applying it in very small, pea-sized amounts, warming it between your palms first. Apply to one area of the body at a time and thoroughly massage into the skin. We hope these tips help. Thank you for choosing CeraVe.

    Lightweight Mineral Sunscreen for everyday use

    I've really enjoyed using this CeraVe Mineral Sunscreen SPF 50. The formula feels lightweight, and once it's blended in well, it feels comfortable on my skin. Since it's a mineral sunscreen, I make sure to spread it evenly across my entire face for the best coverage. I also like that it's fragrance-free, travel-friendly, and made with ceramides, hyaluronic acid, and niacinamide. It's a great option for everyday sun protection, especially if you have sensitive skin.

    Lightweight, hydrating mineral sunscreen with reliable SPF 50 protection for everyday wear

    I’ve been using this sunscreen daily and really like how lightweight and hydrating it feels. It has little to no fragrance, spreads easily, and doesn’t irritate my sensitive skin. The mineral formula provides reliable SPF 50 protection without feeling greasy. It leaves a slight white cast at first, but it blends in after a few minutes. Overall, it’s a great option for everyday use.

    1 reply from Cerave Product Expert team - 2 months ago
    Hello JoAnn! Thank you so much for reaching out about our Hydrating 100% Mineral Sunscreen for Face - SPF 50, and hearing about this packaging irregularity is truly important to us. Underneath the flip-top cap, there should be a foil safety seal covering the dispensing orifice which needs to be completely peeled away before the sunscreen can flow out properly. If the foil seal has been removed and you find that the plastic cap itself was mis-molded without a dispensing hole, please contact our customer care team directly so we can gather the manufacturing batch codes from your tube and make this right for you. Thank you so much for sharing this valuable feedback.

    Heavy coating on skin

    It left a white coating that came off on everything. Very little absorption and felt terribly uncomfortable.
    1 reply from Consumer Care Center team - 2 months ago
    Hello Robbin! We are so incredibly sorry to hear that our Hydrating Mineral Sunscreen SPF 50 Face Lotion felt so uncomfortable and left a transferring white layer on your skin, as we always want our sun care to feel lightweight and protective. Because this is a 100% physical mineral sunscreen, it is formulated with active mineral filters that sit directly on top of the skin barrier to reflect UV rays rather than absorbing deeply like chemical sunscreens, which can lead to transfer if the product is applied heavily. To help the sunscreen sit much more comfortably and absorb beautifully without rubbing off, we recommend prepping your face with a lightweight daily moisturizer first, as mineral filters spread much more smoothly on well-hydrated skin. Try dispensing just a dime-sized amount, warming it between your fingertips to soften the texture, and then patting it onto your skin in small, localized sections rather than rubbing a large amount all over at once. Allowing the sunscreen to set undisturbed for a full fifteen minutes after application will also help it dry down completely, dramatically reducing the white cast and preventing any transfer onto your clothing or surroundings.

    MIX WITH MOISTURIZER

    Hear me out,,, mix with your moisturizer! Definitely major whitecast using by itself, the only way around this is to put some moisturizer/lotion on the back of your hand and apply a little of this sunscreen, mix well, and then apply with a light hand. Bottle says apply liberally however I would be careful not overdoing it unless you’re okay with the white! Was recommended to use this after microneedling and it’s been a good mineral sunscreen to protect my face and neck

    Don't buy it

    This sunscreen got EVERYWHERE. It was sticky, hard to apply, and it left a huge white cast. I have sunscreen on my car windows because I smacked myself in ther face with my sunshield and it transfered.
