Cetaphil Sheer Mineral Sunscreen Face & Body SPF 50 - 3 fl oz

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.

left white sticky residue everywhere. it’s on my clothes, bag, and watch and won’t come out. i don’t recommend this product

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.

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.

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.

Makes your face extremely white. This sunscreen has the craziest white cast I have ever seen. And I have a light skin tone but it was unusable, I can’t even imagine it on a darker complexion. Don’t buy this, I’m sure it protects your skin bc you’ll be white but you’ll also look crazy

I should have read the reviews before buying but I figured iys Cetaphil so it's good and my child has eczema so there's limited options. It does not blend in the skin. It's like a layer white paste that doesn't go away. It's horrible.

So far, one of the best sunscreen for my face, I lie the way to protect me also absorption. Super easy to carry highly recommended grey package one of the best

Wish I had read the reviews before purchasing. What everyone else is saying about leaving a white tacky residue is true. Might be ok for swimming, but definitely not going on before makeup. Didn’t irritate.

I was happy to see your sunscreen. Always loved your products. As far as sun protection product was great, however I was white all day. I have used other mineral sunscreens and the whiteness eventually goes away. Not this.

Beautiful mineral formula, blends beautifully under makeup and doesn’t irritate or give rashes to my sensitive skin. Very silky and smooth, non sticky/greasy formula. I wish formulas like this existed when I was kid, I would have hated wearing sun screen so much

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 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.

I like Cetaphil products so had high hopes for this sunscreen. It did not rub in at all, no matter how much I tried, and left a thick, chalky white cast that made me look ashy. On top of that, it felt heavy and was hard to wash off. I wouldn’t recommend this to anyone.

This left the worst white cast on my face that I have ever seen. It took me using a different SPF with tint in it to even it out just a little. Would not recommend.

I have sensitive skin and generally trust this brand their face moisturizer with 35 SPF is great and I have been using it for years and it’s one of the only things that works on my face. So I thought getting sunscreen from them makes sense. However, this felt terrible on my face and didn’t soak or rub in at all. It felt and looked like putting a layer of white glue or paint over my skin. It didn’t spread easily it made my skin feel so bad and tacky/sticky it almost hurt. I have dry sensitive skin so this may work for less sensitive or more oil prone skin idk but it did work at all for me. I don’t know how effective it is in the sun because I had to wash it off almost immediately. Again I love and trust this brand for other products so if this isn’t good for you maybe try something else by them it’s not the whole brand. Maybe this will work for other skin types.

I wear sunscreen under my make-up every day and I love Cetaphil's other skincare products, so I thought I would try their sunscreen too. I tried it for the first time this morning and when I tell you it gave me the most atrocious white cast I've ever seen, I mean it. I am very pale, so I can't image what this would look like on someone with even a slightly darker skin tone than me. I had to wipe it off, but I am still finding dry, white residue on my hands. I'm sure the sun protection is fine, but it is completely unwearable.

This product gave me and my family a rash. I didn't expect that from mineral sunscreen at all. The white cast , on the other hand, is to be expected and not surprising. I wasn't able to wash it off no matter how hard I've tried though, hopefully it comes off eventually.

Horrible layer of white - very difficult to rub in. Embarrassed at a holiday gathering when in a lit room & finally a teenager pointed out ‘white stuff’ in eyebrows & caked in wrinkles. Sorry I spent a good amount of money on this product!! Should get refund & apology.
