Guests are saying
The product is a mineral sunscreen designed for daily use on the face and body. While it offers sun protection and is suitable for sensitive skin, a significant number of guests have reported a persistent white cast that does not blend well, even on fair skin. This has led to dissatisfaction, especially among those with darker skin tones. The sunscreen's thick consistency and difficulty in application have also been highlighted as drawbacks. However, some guests appreciate its effectiveness and lack of irritation for sensitive skin.

Terrible. Heavy white cast. I applied this religiously during vacation, walking around looking like a mime, and still got a heat rash. I’m writing this review as I’m peeling my skin.

White cast problem
The white cast is a problem. I’m white as a ghost and still I couldn’t wear this unless i wore foundation because it was ridiculous. In my neck creases it created white lines. Do not recommend

Ghostly white cast
Creamy texture but awful white cast. I’m already very pale, but this made my face look even more ghostly. It also settled into every crease and pore on my face by mid morning.

Terrible
If you want to walk around the beach with a thick white cast on your face and body, looking like a tribal warrior or an ancient Roman stage actor, go ahead and buy this sunscreen. I’m throwing mine in the trash. I didn’t buy it from Target, but I felt compelled to come here and leave a review anyway.

Good but not for people of color
The product itself was really good. It just doesn’t blend well with people of color. It leaves that purple tint. I liked it when I used it. I put it on my face. I did have to put make up on on top of it so that the tent wouldn’t show but it honestly wasn’t a bad product and it smells like regular sunscreen

I really do not like this sunscreen. It has an insane white cast and does not have a smooth application. Also very patchy and does not blend nicely.

I highly recommend it for anyone looking for effec
I recently started using Cetaphil Sheer Mineral Sunscreen SPF 50, and I’m really impressed! This sunscreen has a lightweight, non-greasy formula that applies effortlessly and absorbs quickly into the skin. I appreciate that it offers broad-spectrum protection while being gentle enough for my sensitive skin. The sheer finish means I don’t have to worry about a white cast, making it perfect for everyday wear. It’s also great under makeup, providing a smooth base without feeling heavy. Plus, it’s formulated with nourishing ingredients that keep my skin hydrated. Overall, Cetaphil Sheer Mineral Sunscreen has quickly become a staple in my skincare routine.

Buyer Beware
I’ve seen all the bad reviews about the white cast & I agree it’s complete false advertising saying it’s sheer. But it’s far worst then the aesthetics! It has many harmful ingredients that aren’t necessary & with safer alternatives. Here is just one & the side effects… Aluminum Dioxide — Constipation: A common side effect, particularly with regular or high-dose use. Hypophosphatemia: Long-term use can lead to low phosphate levels in the blood, especially in individuals with kidney problems. Aluminum Toxicity: In patients with impaired kidney function, long-term use can lead to aluminum accumulation in the body, potentially causing bone disease (osteomalacia) and neurological problems (encephalopathy). Drug Interactions: Aluminum hydroxide can interfere with the absorption of other medications, making them less effective. I encourage everyone to be a smart consumer & research ingredients in your sunscreen, body care & food products. Don’t trust the hype or the all the wonderful marketing headliners they use to distract you from digging a little deeper. I also encourage everyone to send an email to the company, pointing out the ingredients that aren’t safe or have side effects causing all kinds of health problems & the facts to back it up. What they’re doing is no different then green-washing. My other complaint is the cost. Really? You’re going to charge us $13 for a 3oz bottle that’ll be gone within a month of everyday use? There are far better mineral sunscreens without the numerous ingredients with side effects/unsafe out there. That are tinted or truly sheer as well, at a much more affordable per ounce — like $1-$2 per ounce. This goes for all Cetaphil “sheer” mineral sunscreens, not just this one. Don’t waste your money & protect your overall health.

Awful White Cast
Either I missed reviews or didn't look at them. Like everyone else, this leaves an unmistakle white cast. Makeup does not blend over it. I'm sure it's great for water and outdoor work but it's most definetly not a daily use product. I should proably try to return, but I hate to be that person.
