Cetaphil Sheer Mineral Sunscreen Lotion, Face & Body, SPF 50, 3oz

Nice size tube. Goes on easily. Wouldn’t use it on the face as I find its leaves a fine white cast on the skin. Otherwise it’s perfect on rest of the body.

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’ve been using this sunscreen for a couple of weeks and overall I’m happy with it. The texture is lightweight, not greasy, and it blends fairly well compared to a lot of other mineral sunscreens I’ve tried. I have sensitive skin and this one doesn’t sting or cause any irritation, which is a big plus. That said, it does leave a slight white cast, especially if I apply a bit more on my face, so it may be more noticeable on medium to darker skin tones. It also takes a minute or two to rub in completely. Still, the protection feels solid, and I like that it’s fragrance-free and dermatologist recommended. Overall, a very good everyday sunscreen if you don’t mind a little extra blending.

I want to start out by saying that I am very pale. I’m usually the lightest foundation shade of any range. I nearly glow in the dark. You get the gist. Somehow this foundation left a NOTICEABLE white cast on me. I did not use a ton of it, I used about a pea sized amount. I don’t think I’ve ever had to spend time trying to blend sunscreen down my neck. As if that wasn’t bad enough, this product clings to any hair or dry patches you have and leaves a “chalky” looking finish that is difficult to remove. I have no clue if it actually works well as a sunscreen. I wasn’t willing to leave my house with it on my face due to what I was seeing. I wanted to like this, but unfortunately I will be returning!

Great sunscreen but the white cast that it leaves behind makes me look like a ghost. Wouldn't recommend using on your face but great for the rest of your body.

Excellent uv coverage. Is not thick or hard to spread it on face. Stays paleish / white which is what I wanted. Clear face sunblock does not block enough.

It leaves a white cast

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.

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.
