Applies fairly well, but does require some rubbing to eliminate the white cast. I'm pretty pale, and did notice a white cast. But the real problem is that after a half hour or so, it settled into any creases or lines on my face and neck, collecting as white lines. *Maybe* okay for using at the beach, but not for everyday wear.

The Perfect Everyday Mineral Sunscreen Cetaphil's Sheer Mineral Face Liquid Drops SPF 50 has become my absolute go-to for daily sun protection. After trying countless mineral sunscreens that left me looking like a ghost, this one truly impressed me with its innovative, lightweight formula. First off, the packaging is fantastic. The small bottle with a precise dropper top makes it incredibly easy to control how much product you use, which is a big plus for a liquid sunscreen. It's also compact and travel-friendly. The texture is what truly sets this sunscreen apart. It's a very fluid, almost serum-like consistency that glides on effortlessly. Unlike thicker zinc oxide formulas, it blends in quickly and feels feather-light on the skin, leaving a beautiful matte finish. The "sheer" claim is accurate, as it minimizes the dreaded white cast, making it a great option for a wide range of skin tones. It also works perfectly as a primer, creating a smooth base for makeup without any pilling or greasiness. As for the scent, there's practically none. It's fragrance-free, which is a major benefit for anyone with sensitive or reactive skin. The lack of a strong, overpowering sunscreen smell makes it a pleasure to apply every morning. Most importantly, the sun protection is reliable and effective. With a broad-spectrum SPF 50 and 100% mineral active ingredients (zinc oxide), I feel confident that my skin is well-protected against both UVA and UVB rays. It's also water-resistant for up to 80 minutes, which is a nice bonus for a product designed for daily use. This sunscreen has truly made it easier for me to be consistent with my sun care routine. Overall, if you're looking for a mineral sunscreen that feels good, looks great under makeup, and provides top-tier protection without a white cast, this is the one to try.

This stuff is great for oily skin! Keeps me matte all day. Nice and thin consistency so it is idea for days when you need to reapply every couple hours. I wore this while at Disneyland and did not burn at all. It’s my go to for daily protection as well as long days in the sun.

Grainy texture and sticky residue

I bought this product 2 days ago and a. Very disappointed. The product claims " to blend in easily without leaving a greasy residue ". This is not my experience at all. The sunscreen is grainy in texture ( something I have not encountered in any other sunscreen before and found to ve very unpleasant). Once the lotion is absorbed it leaves a very sticky residue on the surface of the skin. Altogether a very disappointing product which I would not recommend. Horrible formula! I bought the 3 oz to take on a trip in my carryon. What a mistake! Had to throw it away and spend $$ on new sunscreen at the beach. This was a thick white paste which made our skin look chalky. I kept rubbing it in, but it stayed chalky on my skin. And it stained my black bathing suit. It was hard to wash off my skin also. Needed to soap up a lot to remove it

I only wear this when I’m going to the beach because there definitely is a bit of a white cast, but it’s great for my dry sensitive skin! Doesn’t break me out and feels moisturizing, and I haven’t gotten burned with it.

This sunscreen is not sheer, especially when you apply the correct amountThis sunscreen is not sheer, especially when you apply the correct amount. I like this sunscreen for my chest area when I wear white, as it does not cause yellowing on my clothes the way organic/chemical sunscreens do. My skin is very light though, so keep that in mind. However wearing a foundation on top can work wonderfully for some lighter/medium skin tones.

I've been using the Cetaphil Sheer Mineral Face Liquid Drops SPF 50 daily, and I’m seriously impressed! The packaging is simple yet convenient—it fits perfectly in my bag for on-the-go use. The texture is lightweight and silky, not greasy at all, which is rare for a mineral sunscreen. It spreads evenly and doesn’t leave a white cast, even on my medium skin tone. The coverage is sheer and breathable, making it perfect under makeup or alone. It offers strong sun protection, and I love that it’s formulated for sensitive skin. There’s only a very light scent that fades quickly, which I appreciate since I’m not a fan of overly fragranced skincare. It’s become a staple in my skincare routine, especially during sunny days

I was so pleasantly surprised by this sunscreen! Even with it being spf 59, it had very little white cast. There might have been a small one initially, but it went away after blending it in well, and then completely disappeared after being on the skin for a while. For reference, I have a light-medium olive complexion that has a high yellow undertone and tans easily. I don't find too many untinted mineral sunscreens that don't leave a pretty bad white cast on me, but this one didn't.

This has become my favorite daily spf. I reach for it constantly. It is light and applies well under makeup. It does not leave my shiny or greasy as the day passes. It has no scent and does not irritate my eyes. I really wish they made a tinted version of this! I have fair skin. Initially there is a slight white cast but once it dries down it goes away for me. I also layer a tinted spf over it to even out my complexion and provide added protection.

Caused Painful Acne

I’ve been using Cetaphil products for the past 20 years, and with very few exceptions, it has treated my sensitive, acne-prone skin well. This product is one of those exceptions. I recently used this during a summer vacation (preceded by Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser, aloe vera gel; and Cetaphil gentle moisturizer), and within a few days of regular use, my face started to breakout. I ended up with a giant, red pimple on the side of my nose and a whitehead by one of my eyebrows. Once I figured out what was happening, I stopped using this, and aside from the painful acne that had already formed, the rest of skin went back to normal, and I resumed my daily Cetaphil SPF 15 moisturizer, which as been my go-to for a long time. Fortunately, this product worked well for my wife and kids, so I’m giving it three stars, but I will never touch it again.
