This is my review of the CeraVe Hydrating Mineral Sunscreen SPF 30. I've used light and medium shades. Here are my thoughts on them!
I used the medium tint first since that was the first one that came out. I used it for quite some time. It was my go-to sunscreen for a while. So this sunscreen contains ceramides, niacinamide, and hyaluronic acid. It is a mineral sunscreen (10% zinc oxide and 5.5% titanium dioxide). Just by looking at the ingredients, it seems like an amazing sunscreen product.
The light tint was a better match for my complexion. It didn't look orange and blended into the skin very well. The shade vanishes into the skin. It doesn't leave much color behind. The medium tint, on my complexion, looked orange and muddy. It made my skin appear darker. I can't believe I used it for many months thinking it would work. Between the two, I prefer the light tint over the medium tint. They also have another shade (deep), but I haven't used it. I can't speak about it.
Texture-wise, it's soft, creamy, and feels moisturizing on the skin. It's hydrating as it claims to be. The sunscreen blends into the skin, but it leaves the skin feeling sticky and shiny. I had to use powder on top to decrease the shine on my face. But this sunscreen leaves the skin looking shiny even when I use powder. I find it greasy after it's been on my skin the entire day. I noticed some clogged skin too. It may be too heavy for my skin type.
I love that it's a mineral sunscreen, but it settles into creases and makes my skin appear dry and greasy at the same time. It doesn't feel dry on the skin, but it makes my skin appear caked and dry. It's a combination of dryness and greasiness. Also, caused some breakouts. It stained my clothes too. It just didn't stay put no matter what.
