FAQs

Yes, Cetaphil Sheer Mineral Sunscreen Lotion SPF 50 is suitable for daily use on all skin types. It is dermatologist-tested, hypoallergenic, fragrance-free, and paraben-free, making it gentle enough for all skin types, including those with sensitive skin.

It has received the National Eczema Association (NEA) Seal of Acceptance™, meaning it’s recognized for use on sensitive, eczema-prone skin. Additionally, the non-comedogenic formula is designed not to clog pores.

UVA rays penetrate deep into the skin and contribute to premature aging and wrinkles, while UVB rays primarily cause sunburn. Both contribute to the development of certain types of skin cancer.

Cetaphil Sheer Mineral Sunscreen Lotion SPF 50 provides broad-spectrum protection, meaning it helps protect the skin from sunburn and, when used as directed with other sun protection measures, decreases the risk of skin cancer and early skin aging caused by the sun.

However, you should still reapply this Sheer Mineral Sunscreen Broad Spectrum SPF 50 every 2 hours to have continued sun protection throughout the day.

Yes, dermatologists often recommend mineral sunscreens, particularly for sensitive skin, children, and individuals with eczema-prone or redness-prone skin. Mineral sunscreens, also known as physical sunscreens, use active ingredients like zinc oxide and titanium dioxide, which sit on top of the skin and reflect UV rays, rather than absorbing them. This helps minimize the likelihood of irritation and allergic reactions, making Cetaphil Sheer Mineral Sunscreen Lotion SPF 50’s formula a gentle option for those looking for mineral-based sun protection.


Reviews

Rated 1 out of 5 by from Worst sunscreen ever I rarely write reviews but I am so disappointed in this sunscreen. As others have said, it leaves a cakey white layer on your face. I used it for the first time when I met a group of new friends on an outing and I was really embarrassed by the white layer. It looked like halloween makeup. Then when I reapplied later, it got even worse. I can see Cetaphil's response to oher comments of this nature. I understand mineral sunscreen is typically white. The reason I bought this one is because it is called SHEER Mineral Sunscreen. The definition of sheer is "of very thin or transparent texture," which is complete misrepresentation of this product.

Rated 1 out of 5 by from Wish i could like it since it's not cheap I see the comments on other reviews saying that it is a mineral sunscreen hence the thick white layer, but likewise to others, I also bought this because it had "sheer" in the name, which is pretty self explanatory. Needless to say I was very bummed, and embarrassed, when I applied even a small amount to my body (I put it all over) and I quickly appeared paler than I already am (I am a redhead). I am all for natural elements on my body and am aware this is a better choice than many other sunscreens, but I just can't get behind it if I am going to look like a ghost. Bummer because I use other Cetaphil products and like them.

Rated 3 out of 5 by from Workable for people with fair skin Definitely workable if you have fair skin. Apply evenly in a small area at a time because it dries up pretty quick. Layer it with a thin layer each time if need to. I definitely agree that this isn’t medium skin beyond friendly. I supposed they will come out with a tinted version (maybe?) if they want to be all inclusive. What is interesting is that most mineral sunscreen is greasy but this one is completely matte and will dry up to completely dry touch on the skin. I appreciate this in the summer as I have normal skin. Give it a try if you skin tone falls within the fair range (mine is probably in the more pigmented area within the fair range). It is workable, depends on how you use it.
