Bottom Line
The CeraVe 100% Mineral Sunscreen SPF 30 has a mixed reception with strengths like a lightweight, non-greasy feel and reliable sun protection. However, significant drawbacks include a thick white cast, unpleasant smell, and potential skin irritation. Consider this sunscreen for body application rather than facial use, particularly if you're sensitive-skinned or concerned about a heavy white cast. For those needing an alternative, a transparent mineral sunscreen might be a better fit for sensitive skin tones.
