CeraVe Hydrating Mineral Sunscreen SPF 30 with Sheer Tint, Tinted Mineral Sunscreen with Zinc Oxide & Titanium Dioxide, Blends Seamlessly For Healthy Glow, Medium, 1.7 Fluid OunceCradle to Cradle CertifiedCradle to Cradle CertifiedCradle to Cradle Certified

Nice alternative to Korean or chemical-based sunscreens, and the tint smooths out skintone. No chalky white look. Subtle enough to be used by Men.This is a mineral-based SPF 30 sunblock without harmful chemical sunscreens that turn sunlight's UV rays into infrared heat that cooks the skin, creating cancer [so ironic!].FYI: Hence the rising 'skin' cancer rates DESPITE so much Sunscreen use these days. People used to use Baby Oil at the beach, which was not good, either.Feom what I learned,Skin cancer is actually diet-based & in the rancid stored refined fats & various 'bad' toxins (such as copper in the fungicides used by Big Ag & clothes co's) stored by the body in the fats & oils just below the constantly renewing skin, IF the liver-filter doesnt know how to safely get rid of them. Lack of anti-oxidants (such as a LOT of daily Whole Food Vit C complex, not plain ascorbic acid, unless in IV form) causes the wrinkles and sun damage. Humans (& primates) have a weird genetic defect where we do not make Vit C in our liver (like almost all other mammals), and often do not get enough every day. A deficiency can cause thin weak skin, fatigue, & eventually scurvy (easy bleeding, loosened teeth). It is ignored by Western-trained Doctors until it gets bad and requires ($$$) hospitalization and/or treatment.Hence the importantance of good 'clean' diet, keeping a strong immune system, avoiding synthetic chemicals, and not burning, so as to prevent signs of aging and certain cancers. Hence the millions of years of use of sunblocks like zinc & other minerals (mud!), fur or long hair, loose long clothes with a hood, trees, roofs, caves, and a healthy natural diet by all mammals & humans.This sunblock has little smell to it, a nice cream makeup-like texture, and Light, Medium, or Dark(ish) tint, and fairly good 'coverage'. Medium was perfect for blending my 'natural beige' slightly tanned (for the natural Vit D that prevents cancer!) Caucasian skin tone, scars, spots, and a spattering of what used to be cute Irish freckles when I was younger, into a smooth skin tone on my face, arms, and parts of my legs, without looking chalky or drying the skin, like some concealers or 24 hr makeups w/sunscreen.I put it on my always-exposed face & upper chest, sometimes the back of my hands, then elsewhere as needed. I keep a light tan so I do not burn, which as we all know, damages the skin. Sun exposure is necessary for optimal health, and blood Vit D level >40 (in winter) is a biomarker for getting adequate full-spectrum sun (per large Norweigan studies).The CereV lasts as long as regular dept. store quality cream-based make-up, BUT costs a lot less IF you have a standard light, medium, or medium-dark tan skin color, dry, normal, or combo skin type, and are of the 80% with a neutral or golden-yellow undertone.Not sure how it would match up with a rosy-red or olive undertone, or breakout -prone oily skin, but probably would be better than most sunscreens, since zinc is very good for the skin and the immune system.The 'Dark' tint will be chalky on very dark brown-black skin.Hope this helps you!

I love CeraVe products and this is another winner. I have been working hard on getting my skin in better condition so that I do not have to use a lot of heavy makeup and I want to stop using foundation altogether but I still need a sunscreen. I like this CeraVe tinted sunscreen because it not only protects my skin from the sun but also improves my skin barrier and refines my skin with a light tinted coverage.This is NOT a full coverage foundation-type of lotion so if you want full coverage, this is not it.When I first put it on it does look a little greasy but once it dries down it looks great. I usually follow up with a few dots of concealer that I blend over my skin and it works great.Best of all, my skin looks great at the end of the day when I wash my face because the CeraVe has moisturized and protected my skin all day.

I gave this a 4 star but it is more of a 3.5 star. First my skin type is "hormonal" (some days it's dry in tzone and oily underneath at the same time, acne, discoloration from acne, large pores, acne scaring, saggy jowls, lines on forhead) I am 50 so lines, sagging is normal for age, but the rest is genetic I guess.Anyhow, now that you know my skin let me give you my review. I have fair so got fair, I was happy it wasn't to light, some fair products are to light and make my already past color worse.This gives just enough color to make your skintone even, I felt it sits a little more on top of skin which is nice for aging skin, but it does have a shiny/somewhat greasy look.I let it sit without adding powder to see if it would absorb a little more in skin and it doesn't really so I put a light powder over. Then my blush, eye shadow and mascara.I like the spf and that it is mineral, and I love the tint. It does not cause me to get additional acne which is a huge plus, and seems to stay on all day.What I don't like is that I can ki d of smell the minerals in the product but I was also on my cycle when using it so I am one of those women who's sense of smell ratches up to 1000 while on cycle so everything smells to me, so take that with a grain of salt unless you have this issue too.That being said, I will use this in the summer on my no make up bum around my garden days or when I run out of my tinted spf base (Clinique that I am trying to replace with more natural product), but it won't be my everyday wear.So I am back on the hunt again.
