Cetaphil Sheer 100% Mineral Liquid Sunscreen for Face With Zinc Oxide Broad Spectrum SPF 50 Formulated for Sensitive Skin, Unscented, 1.7 Fl Oz

this seems to be a great sunscreen, seems to be gentle for sensitive skin as i use it 24 hrs after microneedling. it does have a slight white sheen to it but it sinks into skin shortly after. it is mineral and high level of SPF..i will be using as my everyday sunblock as it is Cheaper than my favorite sunblock, which is mineral and argon oil mixed at 20 to $30 a bottle.As this is only a thirteen dollars and about the same size. The Sun block is all blended in to my skin in this pic.

Love this sunblock! Tiny size that fits in your pocket to bring into events like baseball games is one great feature. Micro control tip that allows amazing control for getting lotion on ears and face/neck. Non-greasy mineral formula does a great job blocking if rays with causing zits on face.

Works well for caramel skin tones. At first it leaves a white cast but once rubbed in well it absorbs and disappears

Worth the price. Smooths on and is absorbed very fast! Don't need much product so I think this will last a long time

I have used this product for years and it has protected my fair skin. I apply it under my makeup.It never gives me bumps, but protects my nose and face daily. I ordered it through Amazon because CVS and Rite Aid quit carrying it.

This product is almost exactly like the one made by a company that starts with "Clin" and rhymes with "eek". Just like the expensive product it doesn't have a lot of fillers. It is in a liquid base that is easy to spread over the skin and doesn't leave a heavy or oily residue, so you can wear it over moisturizer or rosacea medication, and/or under makeup, which is why I love it. It a fraction of the price of the other product, only $11 for 1.7oz vs $37 for 1oz, and it is more water resistant and stays on better. But there are a few things I want to share so that people have realistic expectations.This type of product is a physical sun block, which means it works by spreading a thin layer of a mineral such as Zinc Oxide or Titanium Dioxide over the skin which shields the skin from the sun's harmful radiation. This particular product contains Zinc Oxide, which is a white powder that is often used in diaper rash cream as a skin protectant. You can even ingest it as a Zinc supplement. So there is a lot of evidence supporting the safety of Zinc Oxide.This is not the case for chemical sunscreens that contain Oxybenzone, Octinoxate, Avobenzone, and the like. There is growing evidence that chemicals like these are harmful to people and the environment, specifically coral reefs. Some of these chemicals are even banned in Europe and Australia. Because of these concerns many people are moving away from chemical sunscreens and are switching to Zinc Oxide. But there is a downside to Zinc Oxide.ALL sunscreens based on Zinc Oxide and/or Titanium Dioxide cause a white cast to the skin to some extent, that is how they work. You can minimize this by spreading the product in a very thin layer, which is easier to do with this product because of the thin consistency. But the white cast is still there no matter what. If the white cast bothers you, keep in mind that it means your skin is protected. You can add tint/pigment drops to the product to cover the whitish cast, or you can put makeup, tinted moisturizer or face powder over it to disguise it, but you can't avoid the whitish cast without using chemicals that are harmful to the environment and probably people too. Keep that in mind if you decide to try this product.

I recently started retinol and knew that I needed to find something with a good amount of SPF quickly. The thing is, I can't stand scented lotions on my face, and I have very sensitive eyes, so most sunblock burns me. I also can't stand greasy textures on my face. So, after some research, I came across this Cetaphil product and figured I'd give it a try.I was SO pleasantly surprised to find that this mineral sunscreen went on super smoothly. It's unscented. It dries quickly and doesn't leave any sort of greasy residue. There is the FAINTEST hint of white residue left behind, but for my fair skin, it's not noticeable.I love how lightweight the formula is, and this particular size bottle is great for throwing in your purse or for a few days of travel in the travel bag. Just beware- watch your sizes! I actually meant to buy a larger size (and now, I definitely will when this runs out), but I wasn't paying attention.As far as I can tell, it has been very effective so far since I haven't been burned yet. However, it's winter here, and it's been cold, so I haven't had a ton of sun exposure lately to really test that out. So, TBD on its efficacy in the sun or with a lot of sweating.

I am still searching for a good mineral sunscreen, still have this one and using it but can't say I feel good after applying- it burns in the beginning, is super oily and has a white cast even on my ghostly skin color. Not sure if I will continue buying it because it feels heavy on skin and I always rush to dissolve/remove it as soon as I get home
