Excellent protection for workouts and hot days! ☀️🏃♂️
Size: 8 Fl Oz (Pack of 1), Style: Sport Lotion SPF 50
This sunscreen is fantastic for daily use and outdoor activities. The SPF 50 protection is highly effective; I’ve used it under intense sunlight and haven't gotten burned at all. What I love the most is that it actually resists sweat and doesn't run into your eyes when you are working out. It doesn't leave an overly greasy feel, and the 8oz size lasts a long time. It is a reliable product that is always in my bag. 100% recommended purchase!

Very helpful
Size: 8 Fl Oz (Pack of 1), Style: Sport Lotion SPF 50
This sunscreen is a fantastic value, especially since I managed to grab it while it was on sale. It applies smoothly without feeling overly greasy and provides solid protection for outdoor activities. It is definitely worth picking up if you can find a good deal on it, as it does exactly what it is supposed to do. I will be keeping an eye out for another sale so I can stock up for the rest of the summer.

Weightless, sheer, not greasy formula!
Size: 3 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I have tried an embarrassing amount of sunscreens from both high end brands sold at places like Sephora and Nordstrom to dermatologist brands to drugstore brands. This cerave sunscreen is literally perfect. For reference I am in my 30s with fair skin and combo skin. For reference I do not like the other cerave mineral sunscreens. They are extremely white. I do like the cerave ultra light daily moisturizer with spf 30 (I think it’s called) but it’s not waterproof. Here are the reasons why I love it SO much:
-waterproof! (Lasts longer during a hot summer day AND I can wear it to the pool/beach with the kids. Truly a do it all sunscreen!)
-wears really well under makeup
-not greasy or oily
-no white cast or film
-cosmetically elegant
-not drying and provides some moisture
-didn’t cause sensitivity, acne or eye burning
-i can even put it on my kids without them complaining
-feels silky soft and weightless. Truly one of a kind.
-cerave is a brand I trust
-great mix of zinc and chemical active ingredients for effective protection
-great for my combo skin
-affordable, decent amount of product
-convenient squeeze bottle that doesn’t leak
I’m so glad I found this! The #1 reason why I love this is because I trust the protection of cerave and it wears beautifully under makeup! The only thing I can think that would make this better would be if it was a spf 50 but it’s perfect otherwise. I’ve already worn it to the pool and it preforms really well, even on a really hot day being outside for a long time! I live in south Texas. This is literally one of the only sunscreens my husband can stand wearing on his face. So it’s man approved for men who hate wearing sunscreen lol! I didn’t even realize it was labeled for face and body. Ive only been wearing it on my face, neck and chest. I need a bigger bottle for whole body application as we go swimming a lot! I purchased this sunscreen with my own money and this is NOT a paid review. I just really like it! :)
