Q: Does this act as a hydrating moisturizer, as in I could apply this after cleansing? If not, are there any mineral based products that hydrate, contains spf 30 (or above), and doesn’t leave white marks (unless it fades) for my skin?
A: Hi there Lia, thanks for reaching out. We always recommend to cleanse, tone, moisturize and finally layer with an SPF. We recommend applying our Hydrating Sunscreen SPF 30 as the last step in your skincare routine. You may like our Ultra-Light Moisturizing Lotion with SPF 30. This product moisturizes skin and leaves a matte finish while providing Broad Spectrum SPF 30 sunscreen to help protect skin from UVA and UVB rays. We hope you give this product a try, Lia!

I think that this is typically for sun protection rather than moisturizing. or, you could use the Purito comfy water sun block SPF 50 for $15. I've heard really good reviews on it, it is fragrance-free and super lightweight, matte and doesn't leave white cast :)

Q: Does this dry clear or does it leave a chalky white residue like many mineral sunscreens I have tried?
A: Hi there, we appreciate your interest in CeraVe Hydrating Sunscreen SPF 30 Face Lotion .Mineral-based UV filters form a protective barrier to help reflect UV rays away from the skin’s surface. Because the ingredients in a mineral sunscreen stay on the surface of the skin to help protect it, a white cast can sometimes remain after applying the product. Follow these tips to apply your mineral sunscreen: Dispense a small amount to one palm and rub your hands together Apply to one area of the body at a time and thoroughly massage into the skin The formula should spread easily without leaving a greasy residue or feel We hope this helps!
