Love

I’m on my second bottle of this and I have only good things to say. I’m someone who’s acne prone, I get clogged pores and fungal acne really easily and this is one of the only sunscreen whose ingredients are both acne/fungal safe. I also have brown complexion and I haven’t had any issues with a white cast. At first it does look like it’s gonna leave a white cast but just be patient and rub it in for a minute or two and itll go away I promise. It gives me a very healthy skin glow which I love. It doesn’t sting my eyes, it layers good with other products and under makeup as well. 10/10 in my opinion

Summer time favorite

This SPF has a very fluid and easy to blend texture, I love that it’s SPF 50 for days in the sun, on the boat or at the beach. It lasts for a long time with humidity and sweat, easy to layer on for more coverage.

Not a fan

I wanted to love this product but I just don’t. it says it is sheer but when applying it there’s a white visible coat that does not blend. But I will say it is a good product for sensitive skin.

No pilling

It doesn’t cause pilling and it’s not super liquidy. Since it’s sheer it doesn’t leave a white cast. There isn’t any strong scent and it blends very good and it goes great with makeup on top.

Love how it feels!

I love how lightweight Cetaphil Sheer Mineral Liquid Sunscreen feels on my face. It dispenses easily and blends in without feeling greasy or heavy. The longevity is impressive—it wears well throughout the day, even under makeup. At the end of the day, it washes off easily with my regular cleanser. For a gentle mineral SPF, the value is excellent and perfect for everyday use.

Lightweight Mineral Sunscreen That Protects Withou

The Cetaphil Sheer Mineral Face Liquid Drops SPF 50 feel very lightweight on the skin and blend easily without leaving a noticeable white cast. I love that it doesn’t pill under makeup and layers well with my skincare routine. It didn’t cause breakouts, even on sensitive skin, and feels comfortable throughout the day without heaviness or greasiness. The formula offers great sun protection while still feeling breathable, making it a good value for a daily mineral sunscreen.

The best mineral fluid I’ve used!

The best mineral fluid I’ve used! I have a very sensitive skin, rosacea and dermatitis, so I was looking for a SPF product which won’t irritate my skin or eyes and will give me a good protection during the day. I was surprised how lightweight the formula is! It doesn’t whiten my skin a lot and absorbs quickly. I didn’t even feel it on my face. I will be buying it again.

Not a Fan

I believe that this sunscreen probably provides very good protection against sun damage. But IMHO, it’s not lightweight. And it’s not sheer. When applied to my cafe au lait complexion (Fitz IV?), it’s fairly opaque, and it creates a vivid white coating on my skin. That pastiness lasts for 5-10 minutes until it fully dries. After that, the white cast becomes much less jarring and more bearable. But it’s not a look that I would wear in public. I prefer mineral sunscreens that have a generic tint and a very light (runny) texture.

Good Inexpensive Sunscreen

I have only tried this once, but so far I like it. It’s not shiny like other sunscreens, it’s only zinc as the filter, and it does not cake or pill (huge plus). The cream version of this is awful for the face, but this one works well. I have fair skin that flushes red easily, so the slight white cast does not bother me. I actually prefer it because it helps cover the red better.

Good

Cetaphil Sun SPF 50 is a very reliable sunscreen. It goes on smoothly and doesn’t leave a white cast on my skin, even with daily use. It feels lightweight and not greasy, so it’s comfortable for everyday wear. It protects well from the sun (SPF 50), and I feel confident wearing it outdoors. My skin stays protected without irritation, even when it’s hot outside. A great choice if you want effective sun protection that’s good for sensitive skin.

A great mineral sunscreen. It leaves a minor white cast which we prefer to a chemical sunscreen as we have sensitivities. We have necer had a sunburn using this lrosuct. We also prefer not to tan

Cetaphil Sheer Sunscreen is gentle and protective

Cetaphil’s sheer mineral sunscreens are mineral-based SPF 50 lotions that use physical blockers like zinc oxide and titanium dioxide to protect your skin. They’re dermatologist-tested, fragrance-free, hypoallergenic, and made with sensitive skin in mind.

Easy effective daily SPF

I’ve used this year round as a daily SPF and really love this product. The feel is light and non-greasy, so it’s easy to wear daily alone, at the beach or under makeup. It’s a perfect price point and lasts a while - even with daily use. It doesn’t have any offensive fragrance and does not irritate my skin at all. It’s super light weight and I would continue to buy this!

Great for oily skin types

Best sunscreen I have used! And for that price tag even better! I have oily skin and it doesn’t make me more oily, it’s very light weight and almost mattifying. It wears beautifully under make up! 10/10 recommend
