A: Hello Taper candle holder! Yes, absolutely! Sunscreen should be part of your daily skincare routine year-round, even during the winter months. While the sun's rays may feel less intense in winter, harmful UVA and UVB rays are still present and can contribute to skin damage, premature aging, and skin cancer risk. UVA rays, in particular, can penetrate clouds and glass, so protection is essential regardless of the weather. The CeraVe 100% Mineral Sunscreen Stick offers broad-spectrum protection, meaning it protects against both UVA and UVB rays. Its stick format is convenient for application, especially on the go. Just remember to apply liberally 15 minutes before sun exposure and reapply every two hours, or immediately after swimming or sweating. It's great that you're prioritizing sun protection as a daily habit!

A: Hey, Great question! Yes, you can apply the Cerave 100% Mineral Sunscreen stick for Face and Body everyday!

A: Hi MT. Thank you for reaching out to CeraVe regarding the 100% Mineral Sunscreen Stick. This product can melt if left in a hot car or out in hot temperature.

A: Hello there! We are happy to share that our 100% Mineral Sunscreen Stick is gentle enough to be used around the delicate eye area. Because it is formulated with physical mineral filters like zinc oxide and titanium dioxide alongside our three essential ceramides, it is much less likely to cause the stinging or irritation often associated with chemical sunscreens in sensitive areas. For the most comfortable application, we suggest gently patting the sunscreen stick onto your fingertips first and then lightly dabbing it onto the orbital bone around your eyes to avoid tugging the skin, being careful to avoid direct contact with the eyes themselves.

A: Hello Deedee. Yes, the CeraVe 100% Mineral Sunscreen Stick SPF 50 can be worn under makeup. However, because it is a physical (mineral-based) sunscreen formulated in a solid, wax-based stick, it requires some specific application techniques to prevent your makeup from pilling or looking patchy. To make sure your makeup sits smoothly over this sunscreen stick we recommend waiting 5-10 minutes for the product to dry down. When applying your foundation or concealer, use a damp beauty sponge or brush and stipple (dab/tap) the makeup on. Dragging or wiping your brush across your face will disrupt the sunscreen barrier underneath. Skip the Primer: Because the stick leaves a slightly tacky, protective layer, you can usually skip your face primer, which also reduces the risk of product clashing and pilling. We hope this information is helpful and that you will try this product soon!

A: Hello sod. Thank you for your interest in CeraVe 100% Mineral Sunscreen Stick for Face and Body - SPF 50 - 0.47oz. We recommend avoiding the eye area when applying this product, meaning the upper eyelids and lower eye lids. You can apply this product to the eye contour area/orbital bone, (the hard bone surrounding your eye socket) rather than directly on your eyelids or right up against your lower lash line. The product will naturally warm up and spread slightly on its own to cover the area without getting into your eyes). We hope this information is helpful and that you will try our products soon!

A: Hello Jwg! The term non-comedogenic indicates that the product has a low potential for clogging pores. The presence or absence of oil in a product does not mean a product will or will not be non-comedogenic. Not all products are tested for non-comedogenicity. If the non-comedogenic claim does not appear on the product, it is not an indication the product is comedogenic.

A: Hello ae. Thank you for your interest in CeraVe 100% Mineral Sunscreen Stick for Face and Body - SPF 50 - 0.47oz. This product is tested particularly for sensitive skin, however it does not make the claim to be "eczema-friendly" we recommend you consult your dermatologist or treating physician for further guidance. We appreciate you taking the time to reach out and we hope you will try our products soon.

A: Hello TS0000! The term hypoallergenic means that an ingredient is less likely to cause an allergic reaction. However, a small percentage of the population may be sensitive to certain ingredients. CeraVe does not make any specific claims of hypoallergencity, although we believe our product can be safely used by most people. We have made every effort to eliminate from our products as many of the known common sensitizing ingredients as possible.

A: Hello Sbm28422! Thank you for reaching out with your question about our CeraVe 100% Mineral Sunscreen Stick for Face and Body SPF 50. As this is a 100% mineral sunscreen, it is formulated with zinc oxide and titanium dioxide. These mineral filters work by sitting on top of the skin to reflect UVA and UVB rays. Due to the nature of these ingredients, it will not go on completely clear and is designed to leave a slight white cast. This visual cue helps ensure you've applied it evenly for thorough protection. We understand that a clear finish is often preferred, and we always strive to create formulas that blend as seamlessly as possible while delivering effective broad-spectrum protection.
