100% Physical Protection for Sensitive Skin
CeraVe Hydrating Mineral Sunscreen SPF 50 is a broad-spectrum, 100% physical sunscreen (also known as a mineral sunscreen) that provides powerful protection against both UVA and UVB rays. Unlike chemical sunscreens that absorb UV radiation, this mineral formula contains Titanium Dioxide (9%) and Zinc Oxide (7%) which sit on the skin's surface to reflect rays away. This makes it an excellent choice for those with sensitive skin who may react to chemical filters.
Formulated with Essential Ceramides
Like all CeraVe skincare products, this face lotion is enriched with three essential ceramides (1, 3, and 6-II) to help restore and maintain the natural skin barrier. It also features hyaluronic acid to lock in moisture and niacinamide to calm the skin. The oil-free, non-comedogenic formula is allergy-tested and has received the National Eczema Association (NEA) Seal of Acceptance.
Application Tips for Nigerian Skin Tones
Because this is a 100% mineral sunscreen, it can leave a visible white cast or ashy residue, especially on deeper Nigerian skin tones. To minimize this effect, we recommend applying the sunscreen in small amounts and massaging it thoroughly into the skin. Since it acts as a physical barrier, it is effective as soon as it is applied.
If you are looking for a sheer finish or a tinted option, you may want to speak with a GoMed pharmacist to find the best sunscreen for your specific skin type and tone.
