CeraVe Hydrating Mineral Face Sunscreen Lotion SPF 30 is a 100%-mineral, hydrating, oil-free face sunscreen with titanium dioxide and zinc oxide that forms a protective barrier on your skin's surface to help reflect the sun's UVA and UVB rays without irritating sensitive skin. Mineral face sunscreen has three essential ceramides to help restore the skin’s barrier and provide long-lasting hydration, as well as niacinamide to help calm skin. CeraVe hydrating sunscreen lotion is allergy tested, paraben-free, fragrance-free, oil-free, oxybenzone-free, octinoxate-free, non-comedogenic and suitable for sensitive skin.
Key Ingredients: Titanium dioxide and zinc oxide are 100% mineral sunscreen filters that form a protective layer on the skin to help reflect the sun’s rays Ceramides help restore skin’s natural barrier and lock in moisture Hyaluronic acid helps retain skin’s natural moisture Niacinamide helps calm the skin
How to Use: Directions for Sunscreen Use: Apply CeraVe Sunscreen Face Lotion SPF 50 liberally 15 minutes before sun exposure Reapply at least every 2 hours and immediately after towel drying Use a water resistant sunscreen if swimming or sweating Children under 6 months of age: ask a doctor
Application Tips: 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 All sunscreens should be applied liberally for sun protection. It is essential to use any sunscreen product as directed.
Sun Protection Measures: Spending time in the sun increases your risk of skin cancer and early skin aging. To decrease this risk, regularly use a sunscreen with a broad spectrum SPF value of 15 or higher and other sun protection measures including:
Limit time in the sun, especially from 10 a.m-2 p.m Wear long-sleeved shirts, pants, hats and sunglasses
Brand Story: CeraVe is the #1 dermatologist recommended skincare brand**. Whether you need products for your sensitive, oily, acne-prone, combination or normal skin, need a soothing moisturizer for your baby, have specific skin concerns, like eczema or psoriasis, or just want a hydrating serum or anti-aging cream, CeraVe can help. The CeraVe story began in 2005 after experts noticed that many skin conditions such as acne, eczema, psoriasis and dry skin all had one thing in common: a compromised skin barrier. Developed with dermatologists, CeraVe offers a complete line of skincare products that contain three essential ceramides enhanced with a revolutionary delivery system to help restore the skin’s natural protective barrier.

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 - 3 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!

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 :)

This light, non-oily tinted face sunscreen is a must in my daily beauty routine. It protects, moisturizes, and actually evens my skin tone. It is a great habit I won’t be breaking anytime soon! Try it-you’ll love it!

Hi there! Thank you for reaching out about our sunscreen. CeraVe Hydrating Sunscreen is a 100% mineral filter sunscreen. Mineral sunscreens utilize titanium and/or zinc oxide particles to form a barrier that reflects the sun's rays away from the skin. Because the ingredients stay on the surface of your skin, a white cast can sometimes remain after applying the product. 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 helps!

Nvsjessup - 2 months ago
I was looking for a dupe for my elta tinted sunscreen that wasn’t as expensive but also was good for my oily, acne prone skin. This isn’t breaking my skin out but it does make my face feel oily unfortunately and makes it shiny. I will use this up but won’t buy again. I have relatively fair skin and I wouldn’t say that this really gives my skin a whole lot of color and definitely doesn’t make it look orange. If I follow up with powder I think the slight tint is nice and it helps with the shine.

There’s nothing wrong with this. Slight white cast, but very slight. This isn’t meant to be rubbed in. Rub some on your palms and then smooth over face in full motion palm style in downward and side motions. Don’t apply a lot at once, apply in thin films instead as needed. Use it right and it works right.
