CeraVe AM Facial Moisturizing Lotion with SPF 30

Description

Best For: Daily sun protection + lightweight hydration for normal to dry skin (especially sensitive types).

Key Benefits:

✔ Broad-Spectrum SPF 30 – Mineral-based (zinc oxide + titanium dioxide) for gentle UV protection.
✔ Ceramide-Infused – Strengthens skin barrier to prevent moisture loss.
✔ Non-Greasy & Fast-Absorbing – Leaves a natural finish (not chalky or shiny).
✔ Fragrance-Free & Non-Comedogenic – Safe for acne-prone/rosacea-prone skin.

Hero Ingredients:

• Zinc Oxide (6.3%) + Titanium Dioxide (4.9%) – Physical sunscreen filters (less irritating than chemical ones).
• Ceramides (1, 3, 6-II) – Repair and protect the skin barrier.
• Hyaluronic Acid – Plumps and hydrates.
• Niacinamide – Calms redness and regulates oil.

Texture & Application:

• Lightweight Lotion – Easier to blend than thicker mineral sunscreens.
• Apply 1/4 tsp to face/neck 15 mins before sun exposure.
• Reapply every 2 hours if outdoors (standard for all SPF).

Best For:

• Sensitive skin needing a no-frills SPF/moisturizer combo.
• Under makeup (acts as a smooth base).
• Low-sun days (errands, office wear).

Limitations:

• Minimal white cast (fades after rubbing, but may not suit deep skin tones).
• Not water-resistant (switch to CeraVe Hydrating Mineral Sunscreen SPF 50 for swimming/sweating).

Why It Stands Out:

Unlike chemical sunscreens, this won’t sting eyes or irritate reactive skin—ideal for those who can’t tolerate avobenzone/oxybenzone.

Pro Tips:

• Pat (don’t rub) around eyes to avoid temporary whitening.
• Layer over serums (e.g., CeraVe Vitamin C Serum) for AM skincare simplicity.

Pair With:

• CeraVe PM Facial Moisturizing Lotion for nighttime ceramide repair.
• CeraVe Hydrating Cleanser for a full barrier-support routine.
