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 - 5 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!
submitted byCerave Product Expert - 5 years agoBrand expertA: 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 :)

Q: Does this dry clear or does it leave a chalky white residue like many mineral sunscreens I have tried?
submitted by mrsjb - 4 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!

Q: Is this a non-nano sunscreen?
submitted by Nora - 5 years ago

This is chemical-free and formulated with three essential ceramides that help restore the skin's natural barrier and lock in moisture long after. We hope this is helpful!

Q: Is this waterproof??
submitted by KK - 5 years ago
A: Hi there! Thank you for reaching out about Mineral Sunscreen Lotion for Face.

We hope this was helpful!

I am unable to use chemical sunscreen because it irritates my eyes, so mineral sunscreen is the only option for my face. Yes, the mineral formula is a bit thick but if you spread it evenly, white cast is diminished. I found CeraVe Mineral Sunscreen works the best for me and I've tried them all.

I will start off by saying that the CeraVe face SPF50 leaves a white cast. I have a very oily conplexion & this formula feels greasy, dirty & heavy on my skin. It also makes my face produce a ton of oil. Esp. after a couple hours. I wouldn’t recommend this to anyone who has a darker complexion and/or has oily skin.

CeraVe SPF 50 Face is my go-to daily sunscreen! It has a lightweight, non-greasy texture that absorbs quickly and doesn’t leave a white cast. Perfect under makeup and packed with ceramides and niacinamide, it keeps my skin protected, hydrated, and calm all day. No irritation, no breakouts — just healthy, glowing skin with high UV protection. I love it!

Hello rib1_6335! At CeraVe, we appreciate your feedback on the Hydrating Mineral Sunscreen SPF 50 Face Lotion. We understand that you experienced some issues with absorption and white cast, and that the scent wasn't to your liking. While our mineral sunscreen is formulated with naturally-derived zinc oxide and titanium dioxide for broad-spectrum protection, these ingredients can sometimes leave a slight white cast, especially on deeper skin tones. We recommend applying a small amount and blending thoroughly for better absorption and to minimize the cast. Regarding the scent, our sunscreen is fragrance-free, however, some ingredients may have a subtle inherent odor. We understand this isn't ideal for everyone. We value your feedback and will take your comments into account as we continue to improve our formulas.

Personally, this wasn’t my favorite. I feel that it left a white cast no matter how long it sat on my skin. It was on the thinner side but felt like I was wearing a heavy lotion. The scent wasn’t my favorite either but just was your typical sunscreen scent. I would have to open it upside down otherwise it would spill out of the packaging.

Great product that is not too greasy after applying. There is some shine to it, but nothing that was bothersome. There was not a white cast for me, but I also have white skin. Scent is normal for a sunscreen, and it seemed to work as I did not burn after wearing this product.

This sunscreen is excellent. It goes on light and does not feel greasy. I like that it is mineral sunscreen so that it is safer for reefs and contains less chemicals that may be harsh for my skin.

I’ve been using CeraVe Hydrating Mineral Sunscreen SPF 30 Face Lotion for a few weeks now, and overall, it’s a solid choice for daily sun protection. The formula is gentle and fragrance-free, making it suitable for my sensitive skin. It contains ceramides and niacinamide, which help maintain my skin’s barrier and keep it hydrated throughout the day. One downside is the noticeable white cast upon application, which is common with mineral sunscreens. However, with thorough blending, it becomes less apparent. The lotion feels a bit thick initially but settles nicely without leaving a greasy residue.  I appreciate that it’s non-comedogenic and doesn’t clog my pores, which is a big plus for acne-prone skin like mine. It’s also broad-spectrum, providing protection against both UVA and UVB rays.
Feels like skin ! Perfect!

Trying out the CeraVe Hydrating Mineral Sunscreen in both Light and Medium shades — applied Light on one half of my face and Medium on the other. The texture is super lightweight, blends easily, and feels like nothing on the skin. You can definitely see a difference in tone — Light gives a soft, bright finish, while Medium adds a bit more warmth. Both shades look natural and non-greasy. Great option if you’re looking for a tinted SPF that feels like skincare!

The product will keep you from getting sunburned, but it leaves an ugly white residue that absolutely will not go away no matter how much you try to massage it into your skin. I've had on for several hours and it still looked white on my face. It's only good to mow the lawn when no one will see you. Or I suppose you could use at Halloween to look like a ghost. I should probably throw away, but it was too expensive.

I have a very sensitive type of skin so I decided to buy this CeraVe100% mineral sunscreen. It has a kind of thick texture which doesn’t absorb easily and it is hard to blend. That’s why it leaves too much white cast. I agree that mineral based sunscreen can leave white cast but it has more than I expected. It can be effective under the makeup but without makeup it’s totally a waste. So if you have a medium skin tone like mine I would not recommend this sunscreen.
1 reply from Consumer Care Center team - 2 months ago
Hi deepap18_5910. Thanks for reaching out. We understand you're experiencing a white cast with our Hydrating Mineral Sunscreen SPF 50 Lotion. This is common with mineral sunscreens. For best results, try applying a small amount at a time, rubbing it thoroughly between your palms first, and then blending onto your skin in small sections. Remember to apply liberally for proper sun protection. Let us know if you have any other questions!

Very very very white. It does not soak into the skin and sits on top with a white film. I love their products but this one i hate. I tried to mix it with some facial oil, and that didn't work either. It's a no for me.
1 reply from Consumer Care Center team - 2 months ago
Hi Dmoney37. Thank you for reaching out to us. We are sorry to hear you did not enjoy your experience with our Hydrating Mineral Sunscreen SPF 50 Lotion. A white cast is caused by mineral sunscreens that sit on the surface of the skin, putting a physical barrier on the skin. We suggest applying a small amount in the palm of your hands and rubbing them together. Then, apply to one small area at a time, rubbing well. The formula should apply easily leaving a lightweight, non-greasy feel. Keep in mind, all sunscreens should be applied liberally for sun protection. We hope this was helpful!

The product does not seem to clog pores, but it does leave a very noticeable white cast (and I am quite fair). The product feels a bit stick, so does not go on very easily. The cap does not close fully, so most of it ended up coming out in my bag, causing a very big mess.

DO NOT USE! My daughter developed a rash on her face shortly after and became dizzy, she had to miss school the next day because she was so out of it and almost passed out on me. It’s now a week later and she still has a red rashy face that is swollen, hoping Benadryl will help if not we will be in the ER.
