Hey beauties! This Cetaphil Daily Facial Moisturizer SPF 50 is a total miss for me. The consistency was very thick and had an oily texture. After a week of using the sunscreen, I did start breaking out because of the grease buildup on my face (I am dry-sensitive-combination skin type, but lean more to the dry side) which was uncalled for as the usual sunscreens I use do not cause me to breakout. When I put it on my face it takes a while to absorb, and it also leaves a white cast that I'm not a fan of. There's also that old school sunscreen scent that isn't very attractive. For a drugstore sunscreen product, I do think that the price range for about $20.00 CAD for a sunscreen is quite expensive as you can pick up cheaper drugstore sunscreen products at a much better ... MoreHey beauties!

For a drugstore sunscreen product, I do think that the price range for about $20.00 CAD for a sunscreen is quite expensive as you can pick up cheaper drugstore sunscreen products at a much better price point or simply order some good affordable Japan or Korean sunscreen for less than $20.00 CAD. One thing I did really like was the packaging. It is packaged in a tube with a pump and there is also a cap on top of the pump to avoid any leakage or excess product going all over the place and it’s just easier to travel with and reapply. Sunscreen is a very crucial step in my skincare routine (I never miss this step, ever!) however, this product is just a huge miss for me, and I think I will still stick with my Japan or Korean chemical sunscreens.Disclaimer: I am not a dermatologist or skin specialist, and I believe seeking a board-certified dermatologist's consultation.

Im not a fan at all! I use to buy this years ago before doing research and finding a good spf but I don’t think I ever finished it. I bought it earlier this year to go vacation and remembered why I hated it. I forgot my actual moisturizer back home and ended up just having this and my cleanser (when I’m on vacay I don’t bring my serums as a lot of them you shouldn’t be exposed to sun). When I tell you it felt so harsh on my face! Let me just say if you are looking for a white cast, get this! But as I was saying I didn’t bring my moisturizer with me and you’d think because it is a “daily facial moisturizer” that it should be fine, it wasn’t. Firstly I felt a bit of stinging, maybe my skin became sensitive because of my serums and treatments? But it left a very ... MoreIm not a fan at all!

But as I was saying I didn’t bring my moisturizer with me and you’d think because it is a “daily facial moisturizer” that it should be fine, it wasn’t. Firstly I felt a bit of stinging, maybe my skin became sensitive because of my serums and treatments? But it left a very dramatic white cast so I would try to work it in a bit more so I could do my make up and felt it uncomfortable I can’t really describe it but my face did not feel moisturized. Not to mention is has oxybenzone.

I do not recommend this product. I purchased this product because it said that it was a daily moisturizer that wasn’t greasy and was fragrance free. I was very excited when I got it and unfortunately, when I went to use it, I realized that it is basically just sunscreen. Very expensive sunscreen. It claims to be non-greasy but it is greasy like a sunscreen. And it says to be fragrance free but it smells like sunscreen. I’ve used Aveeno moisturizers that have SPF in them before and they feel like moisturizers and they don’t smell like sunscreen. So that’s what I was expecting with this. If I knew that I was buying sunscreen, I would’ve just purchased less expensive sunscreen. Total miss.

These days I’ve been hesitant to experiment with my skincare regime. Finding products suited for your skin can be a difficult process, resulting in lackluster results and money wasted. I’ve also luckily found my staples so I usually don’t have any interest in venturing out. It was quite the journey to get there. However, I was missing a good facial moisturizer that really packed in the SPF. My skin is dry and sensitive in nature, so I need as much moisture as possible. I’ve been using this product well over a month and am pleased with the results I’m seeing. Upon initial wear, I was worried.

However, I was missing a good facial moisturizer that really packed in the SPF. My skin is dry and sensitive in nature, so I need as much moisture as possible. I’ve been using this product well over a month and am pleased with the results I’m seeing. Upon initial wear, I was worried. Due to my skin being sensitive, the first wear of this product slightly burned and produced redness. This quickly went away and hasn’t happened since. I use three pumps daily, as my dry skin needs all the moisture it can get. However, I can see standard usage being two pumps per day. The three pumps of product really glide over my skin and settle in quickly. Make sure to really get this product in your skin as it will leave a white residue, if you don’t. Even with doing that, my skin is a tad paler than my normal complexion. I don’t mind as I use this as a preventive moisturizer, quickly following up with makeup after application. This product also works really well as a primer. Since using this product, my face has been moisturized quite well in this dry, winter weather. No peeling. With the SPF being so high, this will be a recurring purchase for me.

A man in my 70's, with a very fair, freckled complexion. have always had to be careful about coping with overexposure to the sun. Careful or not, I have had surgical procedures twice in the past five years to excise skin cancer from my face. I chose Cetaphil based on price, and as a brand that does not have a French fashion name and over-the-top packaging. I have been applying Cetaphil daily for several weeks. It is easy to apply. My wife and my dearest friends tell me that I look ... wait for it ... YOUNGER. What's not to like about that! Drawback ... I am careful as I apply it, yet it somehow sneaks a taste to my mouth that I do find a little unpleasant. I have now and then got the product in my eyes. It can make my eyes may water and sting.

Best sun protection for scene prone skin!!!!

I love this stuff!! It is the only moisturizer that doesn’t cause acne! It blends in well to my skin(no white marks) and I will wear it on top of my acne moisturizer for sun protection. I also rub it on my neck, chest, hands, and forearms. Even with all of that use, it lasts close to 3 months! When I haven’t been able to find this exact product, I will try other brands, but also come back to this one!! It is the GOAT!!!

Caused MAJOR allergic reaction

I tried using this product in the summer and when I was on vacation recently. In the summer I noticed slight break outs from this product but nothing major. I put it away not thinking about it until my recent vacation. I used it in the morning and then reapplied with my normal sunblock (that I've used for years without issue). I instantly began to breakout in hives. I thought it was something I have touched that caused it but I tried the next day with the routine and sadly made it worse. This product does NOT react well with other sunblock products. I use cetaphil for other parts of my daily skin routine and I'm really disappointed by this. Like the other reviews, I also agree this product is horribly greasy and causes a white sheen (but it's sunblock so I could ... MoreI tried using this product in the summer and when I was on vacation recently.

Sensitive skinned and if you plan to reapply sunblock with another product please be cautious!

Moisturizer and SPF50 together

This is the first time I’ve used this product. I absolutely love it. It makes my life so much easier to put on moisturizer and sun protection and the same time. It feels very light on skin. It also fits comfortably in my purse, so I can reapply it when needed. I have sensitive skin and I’m very choosy with products . The way it’s dispensed keeps it clean and easy. I use. Love this.

Unhappy

I got this because it mentions “sensitive skin” and “dry skin” which I have so I thought it would be good. However, as I started to run it into my face it piled and separated and I had to work to rub it in all the way. It also had a white cast, and was greasy on my face. Also it made my eyes BURN like I started to tear up and cry because of how much it hurt my eyes. I immediately had to wash this off my face because I could tell I was going to have a reaction on my skin from it. Luckily I got it off in time and only suffered slight redness. I should have taken photos but I will not use this product again. IF YOU HAVE SENSITIVE SKIN OR EYES DO NOT BUY THIS.

not broad spectrum

I am now in my late 20's and after the birth of my second child I care about having a facial moisturizer with higher spf after developing melasma while pregnant. First off, the product felt greasy and heavy on my skin. It did not absorb well and left my face super oily while also feeling dry at the same time. It stung and left an awful white cast. Secondly, the product says on the tube that this is to prevent sunburn only and does not prevent skin cancer or aging from the sun. That means it is not broad spectrum and is UVB only. I was trying to prevent further melasma and did not read the product description close enough before buying. Third, the tubing has a typo that I thought was funny and am surprised got past their editing department.

Third, the tubing has a typo that I thought was funny and am surprised got past their editing department. Instead of saying for external use only, it says for eternal use only. I am giving this two stars because I liked the packaging and loved the pump on the tube. It didn't have an odor which I appreciated. I am surprised a dermatologist supported product would not be broad spectrum and contain ingredients that harms the ocean reef. I will not buy this again.
