CeraVe Hydrating Mineral Sunscreen SPF 30 with Sheer Tint, Tinted Mineral Sunscreen with Zinc Oxide & Titanium Dioxide, Blends Seamlessly For Healthy Glow, Medium, 1.7 Fluid OunceCradle to Cradle CertifiedCradle to Cradle CertifiedCradle to Cradle Certified

Nice alternative to Korean or chemical-based sunscreens, and the tint smooths out skintone. No chalky white look. Subtle enough to be used by Men.This is a mineral-based SPF 30 sunblock without harmful chemical sunscreens that turn sunlight's UV rays into infrared heat that cooks the skin, creating cancer [so ironic!].FYI: Hence the rising 'skin' cancer rates DESPITE so much Sunscreen use these days. People used to use Baby Oil at the beach, which was not good, either.Feom what I learned,Skin cancer is actually diet-based & in the rancid stored refined fats & various 'bad' toxins (such as copper in the fungicides used by Big Ag & clothes co's) stored by the body in the fats & oils just below the constantly renewing skin, IF the liver-filter doesnt know how to safely get rid of them. Lack of anti-oxidants (such as a LOT of daily Whole Food Vit C complex, not plain ascorbic acid, unless in IV form) causes the wrinkles and sun damage. Humans (& primates) have a weird genetic defect where we do not make Vit C in our liver (like almost all other mammals), and often do not get enough every day. A deficiency can cause thin weak skin, fatigue, & eventually scurvy (easy bleeding, loosened teeth). It is ignored by Western-trained Doctors until it gets bad and requires ($$$) hospitalization and/or treatment.Hence the importantance of good 'clean' diet, keeping a strong immune system, avoiding synthetic chemicals, and not burning, so as to prevent signs of aging and certain cancers. Hence the millions of years of use of sunblocks like zinc & other minerals (mud!), fur or long hair, loose long clothes with a hood, trees, roofs, caves, and a healthy natural diet by all mammals & humans.This sunblock has little smell to it, a nice cream makeup-like texture, and Light, Medium, or Dark(ish) tint, and fairly good 'coverage'. Medium was perfect for blending my 'natural beige' slightly tanned (for the natural Vit D that prevents cancer!) Caucasian skin tone, scars, spots, and a spattering of what used to be cute Irish freckles when I was younger, into a smooth skin tone on my face, arms, and parts of my legs, without looking chalky or drying the skin, like some concealers or 24 hr makeups w/sunscreen.I put it on my always-exposed face & upper chest, sometimes the back of my hands, then elsewhere as needed. I keep a light tan so I do not burn, which as we all know, damages the skin. Sun exposure is necessary for optimal health, and blood Vit D level >40 (in winter) is a biomarker for getting adequate full-spectrum sun (per large Norweigan studies).The CereV lasts as long as regular dept. store quality cream-based make-up, BUT costs a lot less IF you have a standard light, medium, or medium-dark tan skin color, dry, normal, or combo skin type, and are of the 80% with a neutral or golden-yellow undertone.Not sure how it would match up with a rosy-red or olive undertone, or breakout -prone oily skin, but probably would be better than most sunscreens, since zinc is very good for the skin and the immune system.The 'Dark' tint will be chalky on very dark brown-black skin.Hope this helps you!

I got the shade medium. I’m very happy I bought this. The product is a little runny and when you first rub it on it seems like it’s not going to blend but it does. It has a very light tint that evens out your complexion, but doesn’t actually have coverage. Which I’m ok with. The formula is a little greasy, but if I feel I need it I just put some powder on top to control shine I was out in the sun all day and didn’t burn on my face.

I have pretty sensitive skin, so I was extra cautious when picking out a sunscreen. I’ve had issues in the past with some formulas feeling too heavy or leaving that stubborn white cast that never quite blends in. I also didn’t want anything that would clog my pores or make me feel greasy halfway through the day. I already use a few other products from this brand and they’ve worked well for me, so I figured I’d give this one a try.I’m really glad I did. The texture is lightweight and absorbs quickly without sitting on top of my skin. It gives a bit of a glow—but doesn’t look oily or greasy. The tint surprised me in a good way. It’s very subtle but just enough to even out my skin tone a little, which is nice on days I’m not wearing makeup. I’ve used it under light foundation and on its own, and in both cases it wears comfortably throughout the day.I didn’t have any irritation or breakouts from it, and that’s saying something with how reactive my skin can be. I also appreciate that it’s mineral-based, especially with zinc oxide, since I’ve found that works better for me than chemical sunscreens. It feels like it adds a layer of protection without being suffocating. I’ve been using it daily and will definitely repurchase.

I'm so glad I bought this. I was looking for something to use for sun protection and as my makeup for the summer. This gives a light coverage and all the sun protection I need. I just use this along with some lipstick and mascara and I'm good to leave the house. Thank you Cerave!

I love the sheer softness and warm tint of this facial sunscreen. It’s completely luxurious and absolutely non-greasy on your skin. It’s almost like very sheer makeup that enhances your skin. I am very picky and usually unhappy with the skin feeling and opacity of makeup that contains sunscreen, but this couldn’t be more different. I’m so glad I picked this one up!

This stuff is amazing. I originally bought some locally for $5 a few years ago. I didn't have real high hopes for it at that price but it has since become my favorite face sunscreen. I fell in love with it. I'd gladly pay eleven bucks or more for something that it works for my needs. It does sometimes leave me with a pimple here or there but it doesn't last long, and I really don't mind. The fact that it doesn't cause major issues with my sensitive skin makes it worth a pimple now and then. I have super sensitive skin, rosacea, psoriasis, contact dermatitis, eczema. All the things. And I am allergic to most sun protection ingredients out there. This is one that I find that gives me adequate protection. It doesn't irritate my skin and actually is very moisturizing and it doesn't have a weird sun block smell which is awesome. I am glad to see that they made a light option as I pretty fair skin and in the beginning of the season, the other one was a bit orange for my complexion. But it worked. So I wore it anyway. I will keep the other for when my skin starts to get darker. I use the medium (my original one) on my cheeks for a little extra color. I would love to see cerave come out with a compact version (circular disc for cosmetic application) i have one of another brand that is a great option for when you're traveling or when you're at a football game and it is surprisingly sunny. And your face is on fire from this sun. The compact fits way better in your purse than a tube and it is less likely to make a mess in your purse. **fingers crossed for compact option!!**Overall this is a great sunscreen for people who have sensitive skin in any way.
