Cetaphil Sheer Mineral Liquid Sunscreen SPF 50 for Face, Unscented 1.7 fl oz — Lightweight, Matte Finish for Sensitive Skin

Cetaphil Sheer Mineral Liquid Sunscreen SPF 50 is a lightweight, 100% mineral facial sunscreen that delivers broad-spectrum UVA/UVB protection in a sheer, matte-finish formula suited for sensitive skin.

This daily facial sunscreen uses micronized zinc oxide as its sole active UV filter to provide broad-spectrum coverage without chemical absorbers. The serum-like texture is formulated to blend quickly, leave a dry matte finish ideal under makeup, and is free of fragrance and parabens. Dermatologist- and ophthalmologist-tested, it aims to be gentle on reactive skin while also locking in hydration with vitamin E.

How does this sunscreen perform during daily wear?

The formula is ultra-light and non-greasy, designed for comfortable all-day facial wear. It absorbs rapidly and leaves a matte surface that reduces shine and layers well under cosmetic products.
