Q: Do you need to wash your face with a tinted moisturizer? I feel like it’s a dumb question since it’s a moisturizer you shouldn’t need to wash your face but with the tinting part I’m not sure..
submitted by Sara - 7 months ago
A: Hello there. Thank you for reaching out about CeraVe Hydrating Mineral Tinted Face Sunscreen Lotion - SPF 30.

I have been looking for a good tinted sunscreen. Used Clinique 25spf and I think it was ok but the tint wasn’t really helpful at covering redness or adding a glow. Used some K brand ones but made my eyes sting and water even though I didn’t put in my eyes, probably the scent. Thought I’d give this a try and holy cows, the tint is great in the light shade. It was enough to cover some redness, even out skin tone, look glowy, wasn’t caky or thick. Hope the spf is effective. Great product so far, will continue to use and see how well it works.

on days i just want some coverage, i grab this sunscreen. it’s a little too thick and heavy for everyday wear for me and not really good for very hot days because i can feel the cream sitting on top of my face. it also feels tacky and doesn’t seem to fully dry on me so i use this occasionally. i did notice it didn’t leave any white cast on my which is better than other tinted sunscreens I have tried.

Light tint: I wore this sunscreen for 3 hours before washing it off. It makes my skin sting. It looks shiny, somewhat orange, streaks, highlights my fine lines, and never dries completely. The tint comes off on clothing.

I love this product! Not going to lie, a lot of tinted sunscreens turn me off as they can be a bit heavy or oily. This one is great! It feels lightweight and blends in easily- blurring slight imperfections without emphasizing fine lines or pores. I really like how it is both a skin tint and SPF. A new staple in my summer routine!
Lightweight natural glow!

I absolutely love this tinted sunscreen! I’m not a huge fan of foundation, so I typically opt for a tinted sunscreen. I’ve tried many different ones, but they usually feel sticky. This one applies so smoothly and leaves a flawless finish! There’s no scent (which I love) and it looks incredibly natural. It gives you that little extra glow year round! I highly recommend this product for anyone looking for a natural lightweight glow!
Great face sunscreen with some coverage!

This is a great daily face sunscreen. It blends well into the skin, and with the tint it offers some nice foundation-like coverage without being thick. It has a smidge of an unpleasant scent during application, but it does not linger after application.

It’s a little more sheer than I expected, but overall it’s a good product. Also the light was lighter than I needed. I do love that it’s light but still gave me a bit of some color so I didn’t feel the need for foundation. I’m usually just a concealer type girl and this was a good alternative for days I’m out in the sun.

I love the light shade. I was afraid it would show a white cast bur once it was properly rubbed in it was completely clear. It did not irritate my very sensitive eyes. It did not pill when reapplied. The finish is dewy but not greasy. It dries down beautifully. I am an absolute fan. This product will be a staple. My only gripe is with the lid. It's full of lots of unnecessary crannies and nooks. I know it will become a mess so I just unscrew the whole cap when using.
It’s fine

It’s not my favorite. The opening is super big, but where the product dispenses is super small, so it gets so messy. It doesn’t break my skin out. I do have to blend it in well for it to not make me look crazy.

I really like the moisturizing aspect of this sunscreen. It is very good if you have dry, flaky skin. For that reason I will keep using it if I’m just hanging around the house. What I don’t like about it: it it does not play well with other products. It pills when worn over serums and moisturizers, and never dries down even after several hours. It stays quite sticky, which interferes with makeup application. It settles quite a bit in my fine lines and wrinkles. Although it’s tinted, it provides zero coverage or evening out of skin tone. It goes on very light but turns very clear once you rub it in. I wish it had even minimal coverage and a better finish. However, for it’s moisturizing effect, it does the job.

I am fair skinned with neutral undertones and the light is absolutely perfect for me. No white cast at all, sheer, natural tint that actually makes you look a little sun kissed without being orange at all!! And I put it all around my eyes and it didn't cause any irritation or stinging or watering at all!! I am so impressed with this face sunscreen. I cannot say enough good things!!! No pilling at all either, when I had put more on over what I had previously applied!!!
Perfect for that FL weather

I'm 43, so my skin needs moisture. I also wanted a bit of tint to help even out skin tone. This was it! Less coverage obviously than a BB cream, but more than just a plain SPF and nicely hydrating so I no longer have dry spots. Will repurchase.

This is perfect for my combination acne prone skin. I'm a fair-skinned Latina with olive toned skin and it's really hard to find mineral sunscreen with the right undertones and doesn't have a white cast. Love the medium shade for me, especially in the summertime! For those who are saying it's greasy, although it does feel like a sunscreen going on it dries down after about 5 minutes to leave only a slight sheen. Definitely not matte, but you can layer makeup on top easily if that's your desired look.
