I Tried CeraVe Hydrating Mineral Sunscreen SPF 30 (Light) Again.

 

I tried CeraVe Hydrating Mineral Sunscreen SPF 30 again. I'm tired of searching for a sunscreen that works on my skin. I thought maybe this could work. Who knows. I have the product. Let's go for it another time. So here is my review of it this time.

I have the Light tint. It's not orange and blends into my skin just fine. More mineral sunscreens should take note and stop making hideous orange tints. The sunscreen contains ceramides, niacinamide, and hyaluronic acid. It contains 10% zinc oxide and 5.5% titanium dioxide. It is only SPF 30. I usually go for higher SPF sunscreens, but I'm really tired of trying new sunscreens, and they never seem to work out.

The texture and consistency of the sunscreen are soft and creamy. It's really easy to apply to the skin. It blends in. It feels moisturizing. It does accentuate some dry skin here and there. I've been trying to moisturize my skin more often to offset the dryness. It leaves the skin looking shiny, which I don't like. I used powder to mattify the skin. It states on the product that it's suitable for sensitive skin. I didn't think it was soothing on my skin. It contains ceramides to soothe the skin, but my skin might be having issues with niacinamide or capryloyl salicylic acid (a derivative of salicylic acid) in this product. My skin tingles when I'm using this product. It seems to drag my face down due to the dryness. I really don't like how my skin looks with this sunscreen on. 

Did it cause acne? I noticed some clogged pores after using it for 2 days. Yes, it did.

Those are my thoughts on CeraVe Hydrating Mineral Sunscreen SPF 30. Will I repurchase? No. This sunscreen is an odd combination of feeling moisturized, drying the skin out, leaving the skin looking more shiny, and clogging up my skin. I can't get over the tingling feeling either. It's a mess. It doesn't feel comfortable on my skin.

Review: CeraVe Hydrating Mineral Sunscreen SPF 30 (Light, Medium)

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.
