Most Helpful Positive Review Excellent Sun BLOCK! This product contains a high amount of Titanium Dioxide, which dermatologists have recommended to me for avoiding sun damage AND it is a naturally occurring chemical. This active ingredient performs more as a sun BLOCK, than a screen. If you have accumulative sun damage over your lifetime and/or want to seriously decrease the amount of harmful sun rays to your skin using a more natural product, this is excellent for you. I applied it faithfully while on a 19 day rafting trip through the Grand Canyon this spring, and DID NOT BURN (water and sweat resistant too). The only negative is that this active ingredient does not allow the product to rub in easily. This is a small price to pay for superior protection!
Most Helpful Critical Review Seriously, not even worth trying I use Cerave for majority of my skincare needs, so when I saw the low reviews for their body sunscreen I figured it wouldn't hurt to try, because I LOVE Cerave.
It was my responsibility to bring sunscreen to our lake trip and I became the inside joke of my party for bringing the worst sunscreen ever. It was streaky and didn't blend in, on top of that, it was just very thick and uncomfortable to wear. I feel like I actually became unrecognizable due to the sheer white my skin became from the sunscreen.
I couldn't wait to shower to get it off of my body and I have scrubbed myself—with your typical luffa— and it's still on. Which I guess isn't a terrible thing, if it wasn't so chalky, white, and uncomfortable.
Gist is: don't even try it. I wish I could get a refund, but it's not worth the hassle of explaining.

Leaves a white cast 1
CJag from Trinidad
I was excited to buy this product after all the hype about CeraVe products. Unfortunately, I was very disappointed after using this product. It leaves a white cast that look horrendous. I could not leave the house after applying it. Had to wash if off.
I regret purchasing this sunscreen.
I hope CeraVe considers people with dark skin tones and reformulate their sunscreen to accommodate us.
In the meantime, I am not impressed.
This product is definitely 5
ariela30 from undisclosed
This product is definitely a must any kind of sunscreen that has a mineral such as ink zinc oxide as the first ingredient is definitely dermatologist recommended. The chemicals found in the sprays and other lotion sunscreens can sometimes be harmful and well let's face it you don't really know where the spraying spraying but coming from a professional this is the most recommended highest SPF with zinc mineral protection.

Leaves white cast! 2
cc2021 from Los Angeles
Love the feel of this product, but as a medium to tan person (AA), it was not made with my skin complexion in mind. Leaves a white cast over my skin, even after letting it sit for sometime, I still see the white residue wherever I've applied it. Hopefully they improve the formula, can't buy this again.
It's a really thick 3
ambern120 from undisclosed
It's a really thick weird texture that is kind of clumpy. It also leaves a little white cast. But given the fact that it is a mineral sunscreen, I do expect that. Also, considering it is intended for the body, I'm not as bothered by that as I would be if it were for the face.
This is an overall 3
gabrielam320 from undisclosed
This is an overall good product. It is very thick and it does leave a white cast on my skin. I have a tan skin tone but you can find it at most drug stores for a decent price. I would recommend if you are looking for something more affordable.

Best Sunscreen hands down 5
esmeraldai8 from undisclosed
Best Sunscreen hands down its easy to apply and it prevents sunburn its a little more on the pricey side but worth every penny
Not worth the price! 1
Alienna from USA
I bought this because Cerave does wonder to my skin. I bought this and the spf 50 face lotion. Boy I wish I could return them! Awful white cast, smells weird, does not spread well, and very sticky. I could not get it to come off my hands. I didn't even try the face sunscreen since it's basically the same thing! 0/10 recommend
This is a review 1
xhag from undisclosed
This is a review of CeraVe Mineral Oil-Free Body Sunscreen, which doesn't have an exact match on influenster. Well, it might be the most horrible sunscreen I have ever used. It's impossible to spread and feels like I'm putting glue on my body. Even after rubbing vigorously, there is still obvious, uneven white tint on my skin. Worse still, it is super difficult to wash off in shower. I hated it so much that I returned it after 2 uses.

Worst sunscreen ever!!!! 1
ES from Minnesota
Overall a terrible product. There was a very extreme white cast from the sunscreen, and I am light skinned so if I have an issue you know the white cast will be bad for any skin color. It was greasy feeling and hard to rub in , did not absorb into the skin. It also smells like plaster. I returned it thirty minutes after trying it on I disliked it that fervently. There is no reason to buy this as there are many better sunscreens on the market for a similar price!!!!!
The team behind this product should be fired. 1
midnight from New York, NY
This sunblock was the worst I have ever used in my entire life. I cannot believe CeraVe would risk ruining their reputation with releasing this product. It is not "light weight" as it did not rub in, even 4 hours later I had a white cast. And furthermore it is extremely "greasy." It completely soiled my clothes, my jewelry, and the inside of my car. I would give negative stars if possible. I returned right away. Save yourself the time and stress and mess and DO NOT BUY. CeraVe, please consider recalling this mess of a product and checking in on the judgment of the team that released it.
I couldn't find the 4
alexandrab190 from undisclosed
I couldn't find the one with the tint in it as that's what I have. I since bought another. It just was too greasy, the tint was great but in Florida with all this humidity it seems to melt quickly. Maybe give it a shot in a dryer condition. Cerave Hydrating Sunscreen SPF 30 Face Lotion
Seriously, DO NOT BUY THIS 1
Aure the Hiker from Jackson, WY
This is without a single doubt the worst sunscreen I have ever used. I expected a white cast with a mineral sunscreen, but I thought that would be the only con. Boy was I wrong. First of all, the white cast was the worst I've ever seen. Then, it was very difficult to spread which made the white cast even worse and made me need to use a lot. The tube was half empty also. It wasn't water resistant, so I didn't feel safe when I went for a swim. Despite this, it was still extremely difficult to wash off, I had to rub my skin very hard and some still persisted. It also didn't protect very well from the sun. And cherry on top, it was extremely drying and made my eczema flare up after it had been gone for years. Even my family who are not eczema prone got itchy, flaky, dry skin and some eczema. I don't know why the eczema association approved this. Do NOT buy.
It is a low-priced 5

Failed Try of Mineral Sunscreen 1
AuntSueInCT from Hartford, CT
I am a fan of several CeraVe products, but this one is not one of them. It is sticky and heavy, and leaves a white cast on my skin. I can't even imagine reapplying since it never soaked in the first time. This sunscreen is not for me.
Current problem is how to clean in off the interior of my car.
I DO NOT like that BAD feel. 1
Carolyn from Rolla, MO
I took the product back to the store and got a refund. I did not like how it felt after I put it on and the odor was very bad. I could not get rid of the white color and the feeling it cause me to have.
I LOVE this suncreen!!! 5
itsjackieguerra from undisclosed
I LOVE this suncreen!!! I love how it has the three essential ceramides included in it too! I trust this brand the most when it comes to putting stuff on my skin. I would highly recommend using anything from CeraVe since it's affordable and actually works like a charm!!
