Description

CeraVe Hydrating Mineral Face Sunscreen Lotion SPF 50 is a 100%-mineral, hydrating, oil-free face sunscreen with titanium dioxide and zinc oxide which are compliant for sale in Hawaii and Key West and form a protective barrier on your skin to help reflect 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:
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:

Wear long-sleeved shirts, pants, hats and sunglasses

Q: Titanium Dioxide has what function? See it is 6% in the SPF30 Face and 9% in the SFF50 Face. Thank you for explaining.

submitted by Nancy H - 4 years ago
  • A: Hi Nancy H! We appreciate your interest in our Hydrating Mineral Face Sunscreen Lotion. Titanium dioxide is a naturally occurring mineral that's used in a variety of products, including sunscreens. Because of its ability to help protect the skin from the widest spectrum of UV light, including both UVA and UVB rays, sunscreens with titanium dioxide are ideal for both daily and prolonged sun exposure. It is often used in combination with zinc oxide. Titanium dioxide works to reflect and scatter damaging UVA and UVB rays off the skin’s surface. This helps prevent sunburn and long-term sun damage. We hope this information helps!

    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.

    This mineral sunscreen is amazing for sensitive skin. Sun protection is pretty good after several hours of wear. You probably want to reapply every 4-6 hours depending on what you’re doing that day. However, there is quite a heavy white cast once it is applied. I personally use tinted sunscreen or sunscreen + bronzing drops as my foundation which helps. Just be aware. I prefer the tinted sunscreen from this brand, but this isn’t a bad buy for my sensitive friends!

    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 there! At CeraVe, we appreciate you sharing your feedback about the Hydrating Mineral Sunscreen. We're sorry to hear it left a heavy white cast and was difficult to blend. While mineral sunscreens, by their nature, can sometimes leave a slight white cast, we strive to minimize this. The thickness and dryness you described aren't typical, and we’d be interested in learning more about your application method. We want all our customers to enjoy our products, especially those who already love other CeraVe items. We recommend trying to apply the sunscreen in thin layers, allowing each layer to absorb before applying the next. If you continue to experience these issues, we encourage you to contact our customer service team, who may be able to offer additional tips or suggest alternative CeraVe sunscreen options.

    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.

    This product is for fair skinned people. You can tone down the pallor with a mineral powder after the sunscreen sets/dries. I put it on the backs of my hands, then dab over my face. This is a good mineral sunscreen but you may need a darker powder over it.

    I believe that since this is a mineral sunscreen that a white cast was expected. I am fair skinned and the white cast was clearly visible. This is probably not suitable for anyone with a darker skin tone unless they don’t care about the very visible white cast. The consistency of this is rather creamy and does apply easily

    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.

    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!
