Rated 4 out of 5 by Jess R from A great sunscreem for sensitive skin. I purchased this sunscreen as I was looking for a light moisturising spf50 sunscreen that could be worn daily under makeup. This sunscreen is a chemical/physical mix (contains titanium zioxide). Because of the physical ingredients it does give a white cast initial but that fades after a few minutes as the product sinks into the skin. Pros: *Layers well over serums and under makeup *Spf 50 *Readily available *Includes moisturising ingredients *Incorporates physical sunscreen (as well as chemical) *Gentle enough for sensitive/irritated skin *No greasy *Effectively protects the skin from sun damage/burn (but you must apply enough half an hour before you go outside, most of us apply no where near enough to be properly protected) Cons: *Contains chemical sunscreens This is a great daily sunscreen that layers well under makeup. I would buy again for use in Winter and Autumn (when the UVA/UVB is less harsh). For summer I prefer a dedicated physical sunscreen.

Rated 4 out of 5 by claire1205 from Really great moisturiser! OK. I love Cetaphil products! Especially this one. I love that it has SPF 30+ so it really protects my skin. I'm the oily/combination type and when I applied it on my face, it felt a bit greasy while rubbing it on my skin, but it's GREASE FREE when it dries, and when I use other moisturiser + sunscreen my face was so oily and greasy. It's also very helpful when you want to set face powder on your face; it's not greasy under your makeup. Will definitely buy again!

Rated 4 out of 5 by LINA782 from BUDGET BUY I am using this product as my Day moisturiser because it provides a high level of sun protection (SPF 30) from UVA/UVB rays. It provides me with all day moisture and is gentle on my sensitive skin. You only require a small amount of this product otherwise if you use too much you skin can start to feel greasy.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Sisalo from Another great product form cetaphil I was looking for a SPF 30+ facial moisturizer which was gentle, non-greasy and fragrance free, and boy this one delivered. It glides on beautifully, just like the standard cetaphil moisturizer. The only downside is that it isn't waterproof. Highly recommended to anyone who finds that greasy sunscreens break their skin out big time!

Rated 4 out of 5 by ellie85 from Happily surprised Having only recently hearing of Cetaphil, I'm glad I got to try this sunscreen especially as I've just been on holiday - great timing! I would normally use a bigger brand for sunscreen as I would normally trust it more but I thought this product was great! I used it mainly on face as this is where other brands let me down and don't seem to protect me as well. It is really easy to rub in and doesn't remain white or sting your eyes like some other thick face sunscreens. It was still thick but not unpleasant and after application my face really felt protected so I only had to re-apply again later in the day - it really seemed to stay on throughout sunbathing and going in the pool. I would definitely use this product again and luckily still have loads left for the rest of the summer so I think it's really good value too! The only downside to this was that it made my face slightly shiny and oily so I had to dust over some powder or apply another mattifying cream over the top - but I would rather this than get sun burnt or having a sunscreen you have to apply constantly.

Rated 4 out of 5 by southcoastclare from Family Friendly Like all Cetaphil products, it has been formulated for sensitive skin, it is non greasy and fragrance free. I had no hesitation using the broad-spectrum daily moisturiser as it gave me the confidence that I knew I wasn't going to have any breakouts or reactions while using it. It is a great product for the whole family, especially the kids, as I knew there was nothing in the formula that would react with their really sensitive skin. In summer I am particularly conscious of using a daily moisturiser with SPF to protect my skin, and this new formula has an SPF of 30+. It comes in a simple and easy to use 50ml tube, which can be carried in your handbag or gym bag. I only needed a small amount to cover my face and a little extra for my neck and chest area, which is readily absorbed into my skin. I did notice that it made my skin look white but this quickly disappears. My skin felt great whilst using the product, smooth and soft, and it was a great base for make up. Best of all, you have peace of mind knowing your skin is protected from the harsh sun damage.

Rated 4 out of 5 by shelldd from Lived up to its promise The sunscreen boasts protection from both UVA and UVB rays with Mexoryl technology I tried this out when I went to the beach the other day. I was exposed to extremely strong sun rays for well over 4 hours, but didn't tan or sunburn. This was in spite of playing in the water for part of the time and not reapplying, so I was quite pleased with the results I also liked that unlike other sunscreens, it wasn't runny or greasy and it absorbed into my skin really quickly. The combination with a moisturizer was exactly what I needed. The sunscreen was fragrance free too which I'm delighted about. I don't like the synthetic smell lingering when I put on sunscreen, a constant reminder of the chemicals put into the formula I'm quite curious about the Mexoryl technology, so I looked it up. It's the ingredient credited with being the next technology in sun protection At a price of $20 for just 50mL was a little on the high end of my price range. I don't think I would normally have picked this up at the shops if I hadn't been invited for this trial, so I'm really glad that I had a chance to try this, because I would definitely recommend it to my friends I would however love to see this available in larger sizes. 50mL's is definitely not enough to last a summer, especially if I'm sharing with my friends.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Anonymous from Nice once it settles in If you remember the old style sunscreens that were a thick, heavy white cream that left you with a ghostly white complexion, imagine mixing that with a light moisturiser to get rid of the thick heaviness and you'll know what this one is like upon application. Within half an hour or so after application, the ghost effect seems to disappear as it settles into the skin.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Hooha from Great, serviceable product that does the job Thanks BH for sending this one out for me to trial. I have been using it every day as part of my morning skincare routine. I have very sensitive skin and have not experienced any problems at all. I liked the absence of fragrance in a product for everyday use. It is easy to control the amount of product coming out of the tube and it rubs into the skin leaving very little white residue. It added a small amount of shine to my skin but as my face is often a little dry I did not mind this at all. The only small fault I could find it that it make some of my foundations look a little uneven but generally it is not too bad under makeup.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Jurlique_Lover from What grease? This is my first time on the trial team. Thank you BH for inviting me to trial this lovely product! First and foremost, when first applied this product does feel like you are slapping sun screen on (an ultra light form of sunscreen) and tends to have that greasy feeling to it. When coming out of the tube the product is white but not creamy or thick in consistency (unlike most sunscreens), rather it is sort of runny in texture. It was also easy to apply. Due to the runny texture you didn't have to work it into the skin as much BUT!!! given time to absorb into the skin (which the box had instructed to do so for 15-20 mins before sun exposure) it had absorbed into the skin as if i had just applied moisturizer on my face. It left my face smooth, moisturized and light in the sense that my face didn't feel like it was ladled with a thick layer of sunscreen that had a high level of spf 30+ The product does have the faintest smell of sunscreen but nothing that would be offensive or abrasive to sensitive skin (as promised on the packaging) BIG tick for me there I tested the product in a sunny warm day (30+ degrees heat) and applied my make up as per usual (BUT i must warn i don't wear foundation so no idea what it'd do to people who do want to wear foundation with this underneath, however i do have oily lids and it didn't create a problem for me when i applied eyeshadow). It was great! I didn't get a greasy feeling, my face felt normal even when I had a bit of sweat from working around it didn't make my face feel overly greasy which is a top priority when it comes to sunscreens for the face Most importantly unlike other face sunscreens on the market, it didn't sting the crap out of my eyes when i wanted to apply sunscreen in that particular area. Which is a MASSIVE plus for me because i don't think any particular part of your face (particularly an area as sensitive as the eye) should miss out on applications of sun screens. I have yet to test it out in water conditions. But I don't think it'd give off that waterproof feeling sunscreen tends to have when you enter into the water! Overall, a great product, definitely a re-purchase. Loved the fact that i could apply it over the eyes without it getting irritated (GREAT FOR contact eye wearers i would assume and can imagine). And it was lightweight for something that had an spf of 30+.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Ruby77 from great product! I have been trialling this product as part of the BH Trial Team. the packaging is bland but the description is easy to understand and straight to the point! I have sensitive and fair skin and was excited to use this product! It was easy to apply and a little really goes a long way, initially after i apply the moisturiser it does have a fairly strong smell and left my face with a white 'sunblocked' look and was shiny but withing a minute or so the moisturiser was absorbed and no smell or white film was evident, and the shine had been absorbed aswell. My skin was well moisturised and i was reassured my face was protected from the sun. All in all i found this product to be great and i would definatley purchase again!

Rated 3 out of 5 by Echicken07 from Great Sunscreen just not aesthetically pleasing I got the 50ml version to try because I've heard so many good things about this sunscreen and I wanted to get a sunscreen that my Partner would use as he is notorious for skipping sun protection because he hates traditional sunscreen. Pros: - Combination Sunscreen Filters - Oil Free - Non-Comedogenic - Broad Spectrum - Dries down with no white cast (goes on a bit casty at first) - Fragrance Free - Small ingredient list - Very moisturising cream Cons: - It's a thick cream and never sets (still feels tacky on the skin after an hour) - Feels like a traditional sunscreen when you rub it in - Feels more like a night cream than a day cream - Your face will look shiny throughout the day (I have combo skin) - Would recommend for exercising rather than under makeup - If you are looking for something that is of watery consistency and just get absorb in to your skin and you don't feel it, this is not the product for you. I would stick to Japanese Sunscreens.

Rated 3 out of 5 by makeupcat from Felt thick. This was my first SPF product when I wanted to start wearing facial sunscreen... and it didn't feel good! It felt very thick and cakey, like foundation, even if I massaged it in. It was also a little sticky and my hands felt gritty after I had rubbed it in. For some reason I feel like this made me become oily even though I have dry skin. Ah, that's the word. It was greasy! I used this a few times and gave it away to a friend who wanted to try it. She said it was okay. Not a home run for Cetaphil like their facial cleansers or moisturisers.

Rated 3 out of 5 by Dancenow13 from Great sun protection! Resubmitting my Review for the 2011 Glosscars I trialled this for the BH Trial Team. When I first got the product, I was a little confused as to whether it is a moisturiser or a sun screen, but having applied it- it's a sun screen! I like the simple packaging; the colours are bright and summery, perfect for a sun screen, and at 50ml, it's also the perfect size to throw in your bag for whenever you need it throughout the day Although on the box it says that it's meant for all skin types, I think that it would work best for people with sensitive skin, as it feels a little bit heavy/oily on my skin for a while after I apply it, which I didn't like To me it does smell a lot like a sunscreen when you first apply it (even though it's meant to be fragrance free), which was another thing I didn't like about it, and it applies like a sunscreen. It goes on kind of thick, and leaves your skin looking kind of white for a few minutes after application, and it also takes a bit of effort to rub it in Having said all that, I think that it would work well as a base or primer underneath your make up if you have dry skin, as it leaves your skin feeling smooth, supple and well moisturised, and relieves you of the worry of getting sun burnt Although there were a few things about this product that I didn't like, I can say that I will be using it throughout the summer to protect my face from sun burn, as it does this well.

Rated 3 out of 5 by Anonymous from Not for dark skinned beauties! I had a choice of buying this sunscreen or the ever popular Neutrogena and I chose this one. Unfortunately, not good for dark gals like me as it leaves an ashy look to the skin and quite oily feeling. I then tried the Neurtrogena Ultra Sheer sunscreen and it was perfect....no ashy look, blended into the skin nicely, no shine and excellent sun block.

Rated 3 out of 5 by Katie_B from Cetaphil SPF 30+ I found this product to be gentle on my sensitive skin. A lot of sunscreens (even light oil free ones) don't fully absorb into my skin, leaving skin with a shiny appearance. Although this product is better than other sunscreens I've tried I still found it left me looking shiny. I found probably recommend it to those with dry, sensitive skin.

Rated 2 out of 5 by haylee_ from Major white cast I was reading all the other reviews of this sunscreen and I'm surprised none of them mention the terrible white cast this sunscreen gives! But the reviews are a little older so maybe the formula has changed? I'm pink/pale and it even made me look like a ghost! I don't know which ingredient is the culprit. I didn't really find it that moisturising, either. In fact, I find this sunscreen very thick and leaning more on the greasy side. I'll use up the rest of this on my body but certainly NOT my face. Very disappointing.

Rated 2 out of 5 by Peony_Pearl from I’ve used better This facial sunscreen has undeniably great sun protection being SPF 50+. However, I just cannot stand the texture – thick and greasy. Despite the fact that I have dry skin, this product leaves me with an oily slick in a matter of minutes. I have used a number of other facial sunscreens and none have had this awful texture. The formulation of this product is just bearable enough to use as a body sunscreen. Additionally, the unit price of this sunscreen is exorbitant compared with other brands which make much more cosmetically elegant and comfortable sunscreens.

Rated 2 out of 5 by morsie from Yuck This sunscreen worked okay except for the taste. Do NOT put it over your lips, as the taste is putrid. I used it several times and tried to not put it on my lips, but many times I forgot to do this. For the price, it is not worth using imo.
