- Q
How many pumps is equivalent to 1/4 teaspoon? & does anyone know how many many pumps are in this product aka how many uses this product gives?
- Asked by Ekm
- Official Answer By CeraVe - BEFace moisturizers, which are designed for use on your entire face (and neck), should always be applied per the instructions on the product label. The “right” amount of face moisturizer can vary depending on your skin type and texture of your chosen formula (ointment vs. cream vs. lotion, for example). A general rule of thumb is that you should apply about a dime-sized amount of moisturizer for your entire face when using creams and a nickel-sized amount when using face lotions. When applying a daytime moisturizer with SPF, you’ll also want to ensure that you follow the directions on the product’s label.Was this answer helpful to you

NOT Matte
I have insanely oily skin. especially in the summer. this is not matte at all… even after applying and staying inside in the AC, I looked like a grease bucket. It doesnt seem to break me out too bad though, which is a plus. Maybe better for dead of winter?
Love!
I have comination skin that tends to get oily in the summer. This stuff is amazing. Non irritating, non greasy, gives the right amount of moisture with sun protection. Only downfall is the packaging. The pump sucks and its only 1oz of product. I need a jumbo size in a different bottle!!
I buy this product over and over
Love the light feel of this product. I need to wear sunscreen everyday and this works very well.
The best American sunscreen
It's so light and does not get heavy or greasy at all! It's comparable to some Korean sunscreens to me and it doesn't disrupt glass skin!
No
This sunscreen burns my eyes so bad my eyes were watering. My eyes burned until the next day even after rinsing with water. Its so oily. This sunscreen also made my face red.
