What the gurus are saying

The white cast on this mineral sunscreen is pronounced, especially on deeper skin tones, and reviewers split sharply on whether it's wearable. One dermatologist praises the ceramide and hyaluronic acid base for comfort over large areas and notes the cast as a straightforward trade-off with mineral formulas; others find it so visible that it sits on skin like a paste and may discourage people from applying enough. If you have very light skin or don't mind waiting a few minutes for the white cast to settle, this hydrating formula may work for you. Anyone with medium to deeper skin tones may want to test it first or look elsewhere.

"There's the CeraVe hydrating mineral sunscreen for the body SPF 50. It's only mineral, fragrance-free, no oxybenzone, no homosalate. The ceramide and hyaluronic acid base makes it a little bit more comfortable to wear over a large surface area. It does have the white cast, especially on deeper skin tones, so that's the trade-off with just about any zinc and titanium dioxide formula."

"The Hydrating Mineral Sunscreen SPF 50, I've worn this quite a bit and it just struggles to blend with darker skin tones. It's very casty. I would classify this as unwearable. This is a criminal release from CeraVe. Unless you have the lightest skin tones or you really don't care about a white cast, you will otherwise hate this sunscreen. It's a pure mineral, it's like a paste. It just doesn't blend really well at all and it'll sit on your face kind of just all white. You can't tell how it doesn't essentially blend very well with my skin."

"The CeraVe Hydrating Mineral Sunscreen SPF 50 is nice and hydrating and it's non-greasy, it sprays nicely on the skin. However, the white cast on this is wild. I don't even think CeraVe had white people in mind when they made this sunscreen. The problem with this mineral sunscreen is that because the white cast is so horrific, sometimes people don't put on as much as they should, and that defeats the purpose since sunscreen is not a little bit goes a long way type of product. Even after you've applied it in thin layers and massaged it in, you still might want to wait a couple minutes just to let the white cast calm down."
