CeraVe Facial Moisturising Lotion SPF50 52ml

I recently have started my journey into the world of skincare. I've been having a wonderful time trying out all kinds of cleansers, moisturizers, masks, etc. Today I tried out a sample of the CeraVe AM Facial Moisturizing Lotion With Sunscreen that I had received complements of their website. This product was a heavier face cream, and you can definitely smell the sunscreen in it. The scent did not bother my sensitive skin though. I have combination/oily skin and this moisturizer made my skin kind of shiny, and a little bit oily. It absorbed quickly and evenly into my skin and wasn't sticky or tacky feeling in any way. It left my skin feeling very soft and smooth, and very very hydrated.

It left my skin feeling very soft and smooth, and very very hydrated. I'm kind of left feeling torn on this product because while it did do a great job at hydrating my skin and making it soft, it also almost left it with a layer of oil on top of it. What it is, is a micro-fine zinc oxide sunscreen for UVA/UVB protection. This moisturizer with SPF is a hydrating facial lotion that spreads easily, is absorbed quickly, and leaves a non-greasy finish. All-day hydration with broad spectrum sun protection. 3 essential ceramides to help restore skin's natural barrier. Developed with dermatologists, this hydrating face lotion- featuring 3 essential ceramides moisturizes throughout the day and provides broad spectrum protection with SPF 30. Hyaluronic Acid helps retain skin's natural moisture. Non-comedogenic, won't clog pores. MVE Delivery Technology: Controlled release for all-day hydration. For $9 on Amazon I don't really think that I would purchase this product. I'm not really sure if I would recommend this product for oily skin, but for dry or normal skin, I definitely would.

A hydrating face lotion is a key part of any morning skincare routine—and a moisturizer with broad spectrum SPF is critical for helping to protect your skin from damaging UVA and UVB rays. For the hydrating effects of moisturizer and to restore the skin barrier, look for ingredients like hyaluronic acid, niacinamide and ceramides and a non-comedogenic formula, like CeraVe AM Facial Moisturizing Lotion with SPF 30, which won’t clog pores or cause acne flare-ups. CeraVe AM Facial Moisturizer is a morning skincare multitasker, featuring 3 essential ceramides that work together to lock in skins moisture and help restore your skin’s protective barrier, hydrating hyaluronic acid and soothing niacinamide, plus our patented MVE technology that encapsulates ceramides to ... MoreA hydrating face lotion is a key part of any morning skincare routine—and a moisturizer with broad spectrum SPF is critical for helping to protect your skin from damaging UVA and UVB rays.

Does What Wanted It To Do

Being photosensitive, essentially allergic to the sun, I have to wear sunscreen all of the time. I'm always looking for a good facial sunscreen that doesn't leave me looking like Data from Star Trek. My preference is a lightweight product that has some degree of physical sunblock, isn't greasy and doesn't cause me to break out.For whatever reason I started getting a really serious case of blackhead on my nose and chin and gaping pores. (I go though cycles of this occasionally, so I'm guessing it's likely a combo of environmental conditions and hormone fluctuations.) My products and routine hadn't changed and the problem was getting worse, so after doing some research I decided to try out the this product, along with CeraVe's SA cleanser.

My products and routine hadn't changed and the problem was getting worse, so after doing some research I decided to try out the this product, along with CeraVe's SA cleanser. It's been 2-3 months now. My skin went through a purge stage where I was getting pimples allover my face, although not a whole lot. Then I saw the improvement. The blackheads cleared up, pores are smaller, skin tone is more even, and my skin is soft and smooth. I use the same toning and moisturizing products I used before. I find the CeraVe's SA SPF moisturized makes a decent primer too, bearing in mind I only use and SPF mineral veil over it during the day.For the folks having issues with the product pilling or staying white, first & foremost let your skin dry before apply this product. Second, spread the product across your skin instead of rubbing it in, if need be do it in a couple of light layers. For any white patches that may remain, pat them as they dry.

Excellent for winter months

This is Cerave's face moisturiser for AM. It comes in a 52ml tube. It has SPF15 broad spectrum protection from a mix of Homosalate, Meradimate, Octinoxate, Octocrylene and Zinc Oxide - i.e. both organic and inorganic sunscreen filters. Like other cerave moisturisers, it has 3 ceramides and hyaluronic acid and is fragrance-free and non-comedogenic. Both the AM and PM face moisturisers have the addition of niacinamide. It comes in a pump, which is probably an indication of how much to apply to achieve labelled sun protection.This face lotion is very pleasant to use, it's light but hydrating, absorbs quickly and does not interfere with make-up. There is no white cast even though there is zinc oxide in the formula. It keeps my face moisturised and comfortable.At ... MoreThis is Cerave's face moisturiser for AM. It comes in a 52ml tube.

It keeps my face moisturised and comfortable.At first I thought this wasn't good enough with SPF 15, but it's turns out that it'sin the colder months in Australia, the UV index can become lower than 3 which means sun protection is not strictly necessary. So I've been happily using this in the past month and will continue using it throughout the winter months.Whilst this is a nice all-in-one product for the colder months with good ingredients and is very pleasant to use, if you already have niacinamide in your other skincare products, it may be better value to just use the normal Cerave moisturising lotion, which is about $15 for 236ml and layer a nice face sunscreen on top.

Great Dupe for A More Expensive SPF

To me, this is a great, and cost-effective dupe for a well-known dermatologist-recommended spf for acne-prone skin (this other product happens to be spf 46 and rhymes with "delta"). True, this only has spf 30, but aside from that the products look and feel the same. They are both hybrid zinc oxide/chemical sunscreens and they both heavily feature niacinamide as a star ingredient. The more expensive spf has lactic acid and instead this Cerave AM moisturizer has ceramides. Honestly, I'll take the ceramides over the lactic acid because I don't need my moisturizer/sunscreen to exfoliate - I'd rather it protect my skin which the ceramides will contribute to. So again, I think the only thing better about the more expensive product is the spf level 46. But for the price ... MoreTo me, this is a great, and cost-effective dupe for a well-known dermatologist-recommended spf for acne-prone skin (this other product happens to be spf 46 and rhymes with "delta").

So again, I think the only thing better about the more expensive product is the spf level 46. But for the price difference I don't think it's worth it and I would also only use both as "daily" spfs anyway, not for heavy-duty outdoor activites.As for this AM moisturizer, to me it really is more like a sunscreen with some moisturizing properties, but it definitely feels like a sunscreen due to the zinc oxide content. If you are looking for more of a light moisturizer, I'd suggest the Ultra-Light Moisturizing Lotion SPF 30. That one feels more like a moisturizer and less like an spf. But the downside to that one is that it doesn't have niacinamide, which I find helps with balancing oil production. All in all, this AM moisturizing lotion is a good solid choice, is non-irritating, doesn't break me out, and is a much, much cheaper alternative to the above-described more expensive product. It's not my favourite sunscreen overall, but I will keep it in rotation and would recommend it.

Great moisturiser with spf

I use sunscreen all year round, regardless of the weather, and reapply it during the day - so the right choice of this cosmetic is very important to me. I used to have oily skin, but today - as a result of anti-acne treatment - it is dry and I must admit that the cream with SPF 50 from CeraVe is great at moisturizing it. It leaves a light layer on the skin, which, however, is not heavy or greasy - you can easily apply makeup afterwards. The face slightly glows after it, but for me it is more of a natural glow than the burden and sticky greasiness that some sunscreens give. The packaging is convenient - since I discovered pump tubes, I think that there is no better packaging! I also didn't have any unpleasantness after using it, such as clogging, allergies, ... MoreI use sunscreen all year round, regardless of the weather, and reapply it during the day - so the right choice of this cosmetic is very important to me.

Quirky, But Works Wonders

I have extremely sensitive, oily, AND dry skin as well as bizarre allergies, and this is the only product that works for my combination skin. I've been using this product for over three years and find it is the only daily product with an SPF that doesn't make me break out. And everything I used before this made me break out. Yes, it has some quirks, and I think they did change the ingredients a couple of years ago because this used to make me break out a fair bit during seasonal changes, but overall, it is a solid product.There are some best practices to get the most out of this face lotion: don't overwork it or it will pill, I do one pump for the top half of my face and a second pump for the bottom and my neck (I smooth it out just enough so that I don't see white ... MoreI have extremely sensitive, oily, AND dry skin as well as bizarre allergies, and this is the only product that works for my combination skin.

Three days in and I had to deal with the worst break out I've had in a long time.I use a lot of Cera Ve products and after many trials I've found a routine that works for me. This is in the permanent lineup.

Small bumps on face after usage

Probably quite generous with my star rating considering my experience, but I am aware that works for one, might not work for someone else. Unfortunately, I fall into the latter group. I purchased this encouraged by the fact that CeraVe are typically a good brand for those with sensitive skin, which I have. However, after applying this in the morning regularly for a few days, I ended up with raised small pumps on my T-zone, not quite spots, but definitely some contact irritation. I can only attribute it to this product as my skin routine was consistent otherwise. Also, after a few hours of having it on my face, I would end up with irritated red eyes where the cream would seep into my eyes. This would happen even without perspiration or rubbing the eyes.

I've since switched to a LaRoche SPF moisturising lotion which I can't fault at all - no bumps/ red eyes, lightweight and fast absorbing.

The best

I recently received CeraVe AM Facial Moisturizing Lotion with SPF50 and couldn't be happier with the results. This lightweight, non-greasy formula is perfect for my combination skin. It absorbs quickly and doesn't leave my skin feeling oily or heavy. The SPF50 provides excellent protection from the sun and helps prevent sun damage. The moisturizing lotion helps keep my skin hydrated throughout the day without feeling heavy or greasy. The ceramides help keep my skin healthy and protect it from environmental damage and irritation. It also contains hyaluronic acid which helps to retain moisture and keep my skin looking and feeling soft. Overall, I'm really impressed with the CeraVe AM Facial Moisturizing Lotion with SPF50.

excellent product

This is by far the best facial moisturiser with SPF that I have come across. The fact that the SPF is 50 is excellent. It goes onto my skin so nicely and is not greasy and it feel light on my skin. I have been using it for a few months and people have commented to me about how nice my skin looks (I am 58). I recently had a professional facial and the woman could not believe how nice my skin was and she asked me what I had put on my face that day before coming to her, I told her that I only had SPF moisturiser on my face. She could not believe it. If there was one item in my collection I could not do without I would honestly say it is this cream. I also use other creams as well as serums that are very expensive and the only thing I have done differently is to add ... MoreThis is by far the best facial moisturiser with SPF that I have come across.

So I am completely confident it is thanks to this that my skin looks extra clear and soft. My husband and daughter now use it too and I can see a vast difference in their skin. It also doubles as a primer as I now do not put a primer on my face when applying foundation.
