Overall good basic
Size: 3 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I was looking at mineral sunscreens because they are more natural, but I found the chalky film they leave on the skin to be undesireable. Still, I did not want a fully chemical formula. I was able to find this hybrid that also has hydrating ingredients and ceramides for the skin. It goes on light and provides great coverage. It is a little shiny/greasy however which is why I dropped a star.

Great sunscreen for travel
Size: 3 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I’ve tried several sunblocks and this one is the one. CeraVe never disappoints. I took it with me to Cancun this past weekend and with plenty of sunshine my face and body stayed well protected. No sunburn at all. It also absorbs nicely and doesn’t leave white marks on the skin. The size is perfect for traveling with just a carry-on.

No white cast.
Size: 3 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I would prefer a 100% mineral sunscreen that is this sheer, but at least it's a hybrid. It goes on smoothly, no white or blue cast, and protects well. Very happy with this product.

Generous amount and is a good sunscreen
Size: 3 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
Goes on with a slightly white cast, but it’s cost effective. If they could only get rid of the white cast! Doesn’t pill under makeup, or over. can try mixing together with liquid foundation to eliminate white.

Yes!
Size: 3 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
This was a suncreen reccomended to me by my dermentologist. I absoulutly love it! It sits well under my makeup! I usally do a soft glam everyday and I apply foundation 6 out of the 7 days of the week. It helps my skin look glowy too! It hydrating for my acne prone,dry, super sensitive skin. No white cast! And it doesn't smell. I've tried over 50 dollar sunscreens but this one is the best! I also live in Texas so sunscreen is a must and I live a active lifetsyle going to college everyday.
