Nice dewy, non-greasy glow!
I love the new tinted formulation! It is a marked improvement over prior non-tinted formulations by this brand, as it does not clump, pill, or ball up. It is a not greasy nor is it drying. The tint is a bit orangey, however, so if you are very fair this may not be a good look for you.
Most Helpful Critical Review
Good coverage as a makeup but AWFUL as a sunscreen
I used this product because I love CERAVE, I am in Florida so I used a lot- update- I've been burned so badly on my face and I was only out for 2 hours and reapplied, my face and forehead is completely burnt and also splotchy, I've been compared to mr crabs and Clifford the big red dog.

Great Choice!!
[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] The formula is lightweight, blends easily, and doesn't leave the heavy white cast that many mineral sunscreens do. The sheer tint evens out skin tone naturally without looking like makeup, and the finish gives a subtle healthy glow. It feels hydrating thanks to the ceramides and niacinamide, though I noticed it can cling to dry patches if skin isn't well-prepped. It layers nicely under makeup and doesn't feel greasy, though reapplication may cause a bit of transfer if you're sweating or touching your face often. The shade range is helpful but could definitely be expanded to cover very fair and very deep tones more inclusively. Still, it's a great option for sensitive skin or anyone looking for daily mineral SPF with a skin-enhancing tint. Overall, this product combines sun protection, hydration, and a natural tint in one step, making it an easy everyday choice.
All around a good tinted sunscreen
This sunscreen was easy to apply, and was a good shade match for my skin. One star off because I had a few blemishes after using, but am unsure if it was caused by the sunscreen or not. Had a nice glow but not too shiny, and felt hydrating. No weird scent, and convenient packaging. I received this product in exchange for my review.
Lightweight, moisturizing, sun protection
[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] CereVe Hydrating Mineral Sunscreen is wonderful light protection from the sun. It goes on light but nicely moisturizes ,so you don't need moisturizer under your make-up. It's not greasy, nor is it heavy, like others that claim they are lightweight. The coverage is just enough for a casual meeting. I have sensitive skin, so this is perfect for me, and I highly recommend this for others.
Amazing
[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] This sunscreen is amazing. It's easy to use and provides excellent sun protection. The shade range is limited but I found that each sunscreen tint kinda worked for my medium skin color, so if you're very light to very dark you might find difficulty finding a shade match. Overall I would recommend.
