Cetaphil Sheer Mineral Sunscreen SPF 50

Yes, this leaves a white cast - that's what mineral sunscreens do! If you don't like it, don't use a mineral sunscreen. This is way cheaper than the Cetaphil mineral sunscreen specifically for face, but I don't notice a difference. If you dot small amounts over your face and blend with a sponge, it can minimize the white cast and make it easier to blend. Looks great under makeup, non-greasy, and moisturizing enough that I don't have to layer it on top of a full moisturizer, just my usual morning serum. Highly recommend! Also packs pretty easily into a medium sized purse or beach bag so you can reapply as needed on the go. No pilling under makeup, neutral scent, I love it! Will be buying again when I run out - which might take a while since you get so much for your money!

Okay so I need to start by saying I’m a WOC and I’m like milk Chocolate brown. Yes, this leaves a white cast but I wear this everyday as my daily face sunscreen and I’ve avoided the “white face” by a very easy little step. LESS IS MORE! I think every one who is using this and complaining about a white cast is using the amount you would use for normal chemically sunscreen. I literally use a pea size maybe smaller and rub it into my hands and then pat my face, ears and neck( front and back). That tiny amount is enough to cover me comfortably and not leave my upper body with “white face”. So all the reviews especially other POC or anyone with darker skin, USE LESS PRODUCT! You’ll thank me! Also, if it’s not obvious you have to really rub this in, I use my hands but I’ve seen people use a makeup brush or a beauty blender sponge.

This is a "heavy" lotion. No matter how well I rubbed it in, it still left a white, pasty look and feel on my skin, even hours later. It did protect well from burning, but not pleasant to use. I will not continue with it.

Really love that this is a 100% mineral sunscreen and it definitely does the job, it completely blocks the sun and keeps me from burning. The only downside is that it's pretty hard to spread. You really have to work it into your skin

This sunscreen does seem to protect my skin. However, I definitely have to put it on 15 minutes before I’m going to start sweating. It blends into my skin really well, but if I start sweating or get wet too soon, it seems to come off. It holds up against swearing pretty well. But, if I’m sweating a lot it has stung my eyes.

I'm good cycling 2 1/2 to 4 hrs/ride in the summer heat and humidity of N FL, but not direct sun I researched the problem and found that it prob involved infrared radiation exposure. I read suggestions online that a sunscreen with titanium oxide or TO and zinc might block IR, so I bought this Cetaphil product. I tried it today and stayed MUCH cooler during my ride than I had on the same ride a few days ago. I'm not a fan of sunscreens, but this product applies smoothly and is not greasy. Nor does it run due to sweat. It turned my arms white, but maybe I applied to much; anyhow, this is a small downside (for me, not a downside at all) relative to the protection against heat buildup--and sunburn!

I have used EltaMd for many years and started to look for possible cheaper (but almost as good as…) alternatives. This was not the one - for me at least. I need to use on my face, and as a male, already start out behind with any kind of stubble. This sunscreen is much thicker than expected. Do not believe those who say “just have to rub it in correctly” - you will be white (white cast is BAD) and red from rubbing! 2 stars b/c it is Cetaphil, so hopefully some quality in there…

Finally a sunscreen my daughter not allergic too.Works great.

Debido a que fui de vacaciones a una playa donde recomiendan el uso de un bloqueador mineral, lo compré, considero que tiene una buena protección y una fijación duradera, se queda en la ropa, pero se quita al lavarla, dura bastante en la piel, sin embargo, a considerar que debido a los ingredientes, la piel te queda blanca durante su uso por el tipo de bloqueador.

I find the cream needs a little effort to apply if you have dry skin because you may have to drag (not a lot) to even out the product on your face. I find that the application is smoother when you layer your face with moisturiser first. I know some do not like the white cast but I love it. I like the cast so that I know which are the areas that I may have missed out.

I was so excited to try this but I ended up being disappointed. :( It leaves the WORST white cast. I applied it all over my face and chest and I looked like Dracula. :D At first I thought maybe if I leave it a few minutes the white / paleness will go away but it didn’t. Had to wash it off.

El producto SI deja una pantalla blanca, aunque en la publicidad dice que es transparente y no deja capa. Parecía el fantasma Gasparín, despues de la aplicación y duró así por varias horas....Sheer se supone que implica que es ligera y prácticamente transparente, pero no.

Very worst one. I was very eager to try this. Once i applied it on my face. Its not getting gel with our face. Ended up with white cast and looks like ghost. After few hours also its looks the same. Very very worst.
