  • SUNSCREEN FOR SENSITIVE SKIN: This formula is fragrance free, paraben free, noncomedogenic (won't clog pores), ophthalmologist tested, and suitable for all skin types including sensitive skin and acne-prone skin. Unisex. Ages 3+ years old. Recommended by the Skin Cancer Foundation for Active Use.
  • 3 ESSENTIAL CERAMIDES: Ceramides are found naturally in the skin and can become damaged with sun exposure. All CeraVe products are formulated with three essential ceramides (1, 3, 6-II) to help restore and maintain the skin’s natural barrier.
  • DEVELOPED WITH DERMATOLOGISTS: CeraVe Skincare is developed with dermatologists and has products suitable for dry skin, sensitive skin, oily skin, acne-prone, and more.

Description

Introducing CeraVe's first-ever hybrid sunscreen for use on face and body.
Developed with dermatologists, CeraVe's Hydrating Sheer Sunscreen Broad Spectrum SPF 30’s hybrid formula combines mineral and chemical sun filters to help effectively reflect and absorb the sun's damaging rays. Mineral filters form a physical barrier to help reflect UVA and UVB rays. Chemical filters efficiently take in UVA and UVB rays which are then released as heat. Our formula blends Zinc Oxide with chemical sun filters, providing the benefits of a mineral sunscreen with the cosmetic elegance often found in chemical sunscreens.

This multi-benefit sunscreen helps protect you from the sun's harmful rays while also delivering instant hydration that lasts all day long. Hydrating Sheer Sunscreen’s ultra-lightweight fluid formula goes on white to guide an even application and is absorbed within seconds for a non-greasy finish without any white residue. This formula leaves skin feeling velvety soft and smooth to the touch, and comfortable. When used on the face, this product helps prime skin for makeup by creating an even base for application. Hydrating Sheer Sunscreen wears well under makeup and does not pill. It will not move when sweating, transfer onto clothes or run into eyes, allowing you to enjoy your time in the sun.

• Suitable for all skin tones, all skin types including sensitive skin and acne-prone, and ages 3+ years. Unisex
• Allergy-tested, paraben-free, fragrance-free and non-comedogenic (won't clog pores)
• Ophthalmologist-tested
• Water-resistant for up to 80 minutes.
• Recommended by the Skin Cancer Foundation for Active Use
• FSA Eligible & HSA Eligible

Q: Will this rub off onto vehicle seats leaving a white residue?

submitted by just perfect - 2 years ago
  • A: Hi There! Thank you for trying our CeraVe Hydrating Sheer Face and Body Sunscreen. Depending on the formulation, chemical sunscreens may be easier to rub into the skin and are less likely to leave a white cast. Like mineral sunscreens, chemical sunscreens should also be applied 15 minutes before sun exposure, to effectively protect your skin from UV rays. Thank you for your feedback, we will pass this along to our team!

Hello Sj! We understand your disappointment regarding the white cast left by the CeraVe Hydrating Sheer Sunscreen Lotion. We're committed to offering sun protection that caters to all skin tones. While formulated for seamless blending, the mineral UV filters (zinc oxide and titanium dioxide), excellent for sensitive skin, can sometimes leave a slight white residue, especially on deeper complexions. To minimize this, apply thin layers, allowing each to absorb fully before applying the next, and ensure your skin is well-moisturized beforehand. The white cast may also diminish after a few minutes. We continually strive to improve our products and encourage you to explore our other sunscreens, including tinted options. We value your feedback and are dedicated to providing effective sun protection for everyone.

This sunscreen is great. It doesn’t make you break out after, and I have acne prone skin. It does not leave a white cast on my skin at all. It’s a tiny bit greasy, leaves a little shine after use. That is worth it to me however because does not irritate eyes at all, I also have extremely sensitive eyes. I would highly recommend!

I love this sunscreen! It's the perfect combination of chemical and physical protection. I use it after washing my face in the morning in place of my moisturizer, so it's one and done (love that!). On initial application, it leaves a slight white cast on my mature medium tone skin but quickly absorbs into a clear finish which is perfect base for my cream foundation. I hope to see more sunscreens in a hybrid formula on the market. Perhaps one with higher SPF or a tinted version (hint, hint!).

I don't know how to feel for this product. Yes, this sunscreen is good, but not for daily use. When I first put this on my face (After doing skincare and letting it dry) It felt a bit, key word, BIT greasy. Not fully greasy, but a bit of grease. I also had a faint white cast on my face too. I think it's okay if you're using it on your body/face if you have no other option, but this wouldn't be my first choice.

Amazing!! This product has everything one can want when it comes to facial sunscreen. It is light, leaves no film residue, it is clear, and most important it is gentle. I would have given it a complete five stars except for the fact that the bottle always seems to come half full. The price is very good for the quality of products but in only getting a half bottle kind of diminishes that a little.

Definitely liked that it made me feel moisturized. However, this is not for the girls who want something lightweight or matte. Which is what I wanted. It feels and looks very greasy, and that feeling doesn’t go away throughout the day. Will not be repurchasing.

Discriminating1 - 9 months ago, Verified purchaser
I'm very selective about my body lotions and sunscreens: the consistency upon initial application, the fragrance (I don't want to smell it, and certainly don't want it to compete with my own fragrance of choice), and the feel on my skin (I don't like that thick, sticky feel). I like that this sunscreen is lightweight, and a very light scent (if, at all) which disappears quickly; while it may feel a bit sticky at first, it dries and is absorbed into by skin, leaving my skin smooth and dry to the touch. In addition, it doesn't leave a white cast on my dark tanned skin. I appreciate that this product is multipurpose (for both face and body); however, I don't use this on my face regularly, as I use CeraVe's even lighter-weight products. I can't rate this on its effectiveness on sun protection yet. To date, I'm happy with this product that I've since purchased another!

I really enjoy this sunscreen. I used to use the CeraVe AM Moisturizer with sunscreen in it but I have replaced it with this! The moisturizer would make me feel very oily, but this feels much lighter weight. There is a little shimmer when you first apply it but I feel like it goes away fairly quickly.

Do not buy this product if you have sensitive skin. I wore this sunscreen to the beach and ended up with photocontact dermatitis (basically the sun reacted with one of the products from the sunscreen on my skin resulting in hives, itching, and burning). Pretty much ruined the whole vacation.

This left a NASTY grey cast on my brown skin. And it never blended in. Returned.
1 reply from Cerave Product Expert team - 11 months ago
Hello Faith. Thank you so much for sharing your personal experience with Hydrating Sheer Sunscreen Lotion for Face and Body - SPF 30. CeraVe Hydrating Sunscreen is a 100% mineral filter sunscreen. Mineral sunscreens utilize titanium and/or zinc oxide particles to form a barrier that reflects the sun's rays away from the skin. Because the ingredients stay on the surface of your skin, a white cast can sometimes remain after applying the product. We suggest applying a small amount in the palm of your hands and rubbing them together. Then, apply to one small area at a time, rubbing well. The formula should apply easily leaving a lightweight, non-greasy feel. Keep in mind, all sunscreens should be applied liberally for sun protection.
