CetaphilRedness Relieving Daily Facial Moisturizer SPF 40, 1.7 fl oz, Broad spectrum Sunscreen, Neutral Tint, For Redness-Prone Skin

Let this settle before you judge it. it sort of stays moist all day long, but at least it last all day long. This is a deal for a tinted sunscreen. Because it does even out skin tone, I have to wear it on my neck/chest area or it appears red. Like all tinted sunscreens that means I have to apply it before I put a shirt on. I found this to be thick enough to avoid having to use foundation. I put it on before zoom calls. Since it is not water resistent, I have not tested it extensively in the sun. It probably would be too thick to wear when sweating. For that I'd recommend Austrailian Gold.

While I haven't been properly diagnosed, I suspect that I do have rosacea on my cheek areas given that they're always red, and if I use any type of product with fragrance, it burns (yay for sensitive skin!!). I decided to try this product because of the redness relieving properties. It's frustrating having to wear full-coverage foundation (and color corrector if I feel so inclined) just to cover up the discoloration, so I figured a product like this might actually help.And it does!! I'm really impressed with how this applies. While I'm generally not into products that have a tint to them (as it usually means that many different skin tones are excluded from using it) I find that it blends seamlessly into my skin, and it doesn't actually apply like a BB cream - meaning, I don't notice that it adds any color to my face despite this product having a tint to it. Then again, that may just be me.The product is super lightweight. I only need one pump to cover my entire face, and instantly, I can tell that the redness is calmed after application. I've noticed how much it helps me with applying my foundation because I don't have to use as much, or I can use something significantly more lightweight and not have to worry about redness showing through.One downside I will say about this product (which isn't necessarily a downside, but something to be cautious of), is if you have dry skin, this will NOT be enough of a moisturizer on its own. I do my best to make sure my skin is fully moisturized at night so that when I wake up in the morning to use this product, I don't need to apply any other moisturizer, but there are times when I can tell my skin just needs something more. So what I do is apply another fragrance-free moisturizer in the morning (I like the Cetaphil Moisturizing Cream; it comes in a huge tub), let that sink in first and then I'll apply this product - it still works wonders, and I get the moisture I need. I also go on top of it with the Eucerin Daily Protection Face Lotion Broad Spectrum SPF 30 for added SPF protection as I feel that the 20 from this product isn't enough.If you have oily skin, I'm sure you could get away with using this product on its own as a moisturizer, but with dry skin, I do think you'll need something else to go along with it (which I knew going into it. I've had dry skin my whole life, so I just know that lightweight moisturizers will never be enough regardless).This will definitely be a product I repurchase. I'm so glad I found it, and I really do think it's a product worth checking out.

Definitely my holy grail product for dealing with my acne in the summer!PROS:- very affordable- definitely medium coverage; I was expecting light/sheer coverage but it's definitely more than that- super moisturizing- great makeup base for a glowy/dewy effect- I like using this when my acne is really bad so I can avoid caking on a ton of makeup (concealer, foundation, powder, etc)- I've always really like Cetaphil for my skincare products & my Dermatologist recommended this instead of foundation for the summer- if I don't overapply, it looks super natural on the skin!CONS:- only comes in one shade- too tan for my skin so I have to mix it with white-based moisturizers to lighten it- can get greasy; my beauty sponge feels really oily after applying this & I definitely can look oily if I apply too much

I want to begin by saying I genuinely like this product, but it does have some caveats that should be mentioned. Not good or bad but things to be aware of. For context I have incredibly sensitive (eczema/acne) medium olive-toned skin, I am pretty much only able to handle physical sunscreen filters.1. Being a physical sunscreen I am always worried about whitecast on myself. The sunscreen itself is more "beige" in initial application but as it is rubbed into the skin it becomes more sheer. It is fairly thick but creamy and absorbs reasonably well. The overall finish is a bit on the glowy side with a decent dry down.2. Someone who is more fair-complected than myself might find this product too dark to use.3. The SPF is only 20 which isn't ideal, but as someone who is almost always inside I don't mind. Reapplication is also not an issue it doesn't seem to pill up.4. With the amount of sunscreen needed for any application to the face (1/4-1/2 tsp) it turns the coverage of the sunscreen almost to foundation level. I would say around a sheer to light coverage. Which I love! I'm not a big foundation kind of girl because I'm so sensitive to products and I don't love feeling anything on my face, and this product has the look of a light foundation but the lightweight feeling of a good sunscreen so it's for sure the best of both worlds. I would bet that this would be an amazing primer under higher coverage foundations. I also feel that it has a bit of a blurring effect to it, which is another thing I am NOT mad about.5. I am a combo skin type and this doesn't emphasize my dry patches. That being said by the end of the day I do look a bit oily in my t-zone. If you are a dry skin person I think this would look excellent with a decently hydrating moisturizer under it.

Too dark for my naturally light porcelain skin tone. AndHighlights all the wrinkles! Drags when applying which makes me wonder where the moisturizer is. I may use this with another moisturizer first. I need the sunscreen but this is nota moisturizer.
