Description

Introducing CeraVe's first-ever hybrid sunscreen for use on face and body.
Developed with dermatologists, CeraVe's Hydrating Sheer Sunscreen Broad Spectrum SPF 30’s hybrid formula combines mineral and chemical sun filters to help effectively reflect and absorb the sun's damaging rays. Mineral filters form a physical barrier to help reflect UVA and UVB rays. Chemical filters efficiently take in UVA and UVB rays which are then released as heat. Our formula blends Zinc Oxide with chemical sun filters, providing the benefits of a mineral sunscreen with the cosmetic elegance often found in chemical sunscreens.

This multi-benefit sunscreen helps protect you from the sun's harmful rays while also delivering instant hydration that lasts all day long. Hydrating Sheer Sunscreen’s ultra-lightweight fluid formula goes on white to guide an even application and is absorbed within seconds for a non-greasy finish without any white residue. This formula leaves skin feeling velvety soft and smooth to the touch, and comfortable. When used on the face, this product helps prime skin for makeup by creating an even base for application. Hydrating Sheer Sunscreen wears well under makeup and does not pill. It will not move when sweating, transfer onto clothes or run into eyes, allowing you to enjoy your time in the sun.

• Suitable for all skin tones, all skin types including sensitive skin and acne-prone, and ages 3+ years. Unisex
• Allergy-tested, paraben-free, fragrance-free and non-comedogenic (won't clog pores)

Q: Is this reef safe sunscreen?

submitted by Michelle - 26 days ago
  • A: Hello Michelle. Thank you for your interest in CeraVe Hydrating Sheer Sunscreen Lotion for Face and Body SPF 30. The CeraVe Hydrating Sheer Sunscreen Lotion for Face and Body (SPF 30) is officially compliant with Hawaiian law, but it does not meet the stricter, scientific criteria to be considered truly "reef-safe." Because the term "reef-safe" is not legally regulated, its definition depends on which standard you follow. Hawaii and Key West have banned the sale of sunscreens containing Oxybenzone and Octinoxate. Because this CeraVe formula does not contain these two chemicals, it is legal to sell and use in these regions. We hope this information is helpful and we appreciate you taking the time to reach out to CeraVe.

Q: Will this rub off onto vehicle seats leaving a white residue?

submitted by just perfect - 3 years ago
  • A: Hi There! Thank you for trying our CeraVe Hydrating Sheer Face and Body Sunscreen. Depending on the formulation, chemical sunscreens may be easier to rub into the skin and are less likely to leave a white cast. Like mineral sunscreens, chemical sunscreens should also be applied 15 minutes before sun exposure, to effectively protect your skin from UV rays. Thank you for your feedback, we will pass this along to our team!

    Love, Love, Love!!

    I LOVE CeraVe products! I use this under my makeup daily. It’s relatively fragrance free and doesn’t clog my pores. And the stuff works! I literally burn in a few minutes but this does the trick!

    Lightweight, fast-absorbing sunscreen that hydrates, leaves no visible residue, and feels gentle on sensitive skin.

    CeraVe Hydrating Sheer Sunscreen SPF 30 has a lightweight, smooth texture that spreads easily without feeling heavy on the skin. It absorbs quickly and leaves a comfortable, hydrated finish with minimal greasiness. The formula blends well, providing an invisible look without noticeable white residue. It is gentle enough for sensitive skin and did not cause irritation or redness during regular use. Overall, it delivers reliable sun protection while keeping the skin feeling soft and comfortable throughout the day.

    Best for no foundation summer days

    This is my go-to tinted sunscreen when I don’t want to wear any foundation. It’s very thick though takes some time to blend. Better to use makeup brush to blend properly. Very affordable and scent free!

    Glowing protection.

    One of the sunscreens I use the most every day. Cera ve is one of my favorite brands on this subject since they are very careful with the formula of their products. This protector has a light consistency so it leaves a glowy finish and a feeling as if you had nothing on your face and at the same time you feel hydrated, I know it’s super crazy hahah. But I highly recommend it if you are looking for a product that does not leave residue and does not burn in your eyes.

    Love this for sensitive skin

    My son gets really bad eczema so it’s been very difficult to find sunscreen that doesn’t irritate , we’ve tried almost everything. We just went on vacation to Mexico it did not irritate his skin and he also didn’t burn . It was amazing !!! I just wanted to write and review it since I’ve been trying everything and finally something worked !!!

    Lightweight, hydrating sunscreen that protects well without leaving a white cast.

    l I've been using the CeraVe Hydrating Sheer Sunscreen SPF 30 and 1 really like how lightweight and comfortable it feels on my skin. The texture is smooth and easy to apply, and it blends well without leaving a white cast. It provides good sun protection while also keeping my skin hydrated throughout the day. I didn't experience any irritation, and it works great under makeup or on its own. A solid everyday sunscreen for face and body.

    Perfect for day to day

    The best thing I have tried as a Screen, it is a little greasy, but it refreshes the skin and protects what it has to protect, it is perfect for daily use as well as for the beach, you can apply it on both arms and legs, and it is easy to remove when you bathe, but it is still resistant, I love it in packaging, because as it is small you can always take it with you in your wallet.

    Best face sunscreen

    Most sunscreens either leave my face feeling incredibly oily or super dry. This sunscreen is perfectly in the middle. It also mixes well with my Versace moisturizer if I’m having a particularly dry day and need a little extra kick of moisture.

    The sunscreen absorbs very well into the skin without leaving a heavy or greasy feeling. It feel calming on the skin and works well for sensitive skin without causing irritation. One thing I really like is that it doesn’t string or burn my eyes during the day . It leaves a natural smooth, and healthy looking finish on the skin without feeling greasy or heavy.

    CeraVe Hydrating Sheer Sunscreen Broad Spectrum SP

    Recently, I started using CeraVe Hydrating Sheer Sunscreen Broad Spectrum SPF 30 for Face & Body, and I’ve been really impressed with it. The texture is lightweight and absorbs quickly without leaving my skin feeling greasy or heavy. Unlike many other sunscreens, it gives a hydrated, natural finish that works great for everyday use on both the face and body. I also like that it doesn’t leave much of a white cast and layers well under makeup. Even after several hours, my skin still feels comfortable and moisturized. Plus, since it contains ceramides and hyaluronic acid, it feels like it protects my skin without drying it out. Overall, I think it’s a great option if you’re looking for a comfortable, hydrating sunscreen that’s easy to wear daily. I’d especially recommend it for normal to dry skin types or for anyone who doesn’t like heavy sunscreen formulas.
