This earns strong praise as a significant step up from CeraVe's original AM SPF 30, which reviewers found too thick and chalky. The SPF 50 version wins for its lightweight, blendable texture, niacinamide for oily and acne-prone skin, and ceramides to support the skin barrier. The one thing to keep in mind: it is not water-resistant, so those planning to sweat outdoors or swim may want to reach for a dedicated water-resistant sunscreen instead.
