Good *SPF* But Just *AVERAGE*,
The CETAPHIL UVA/UVB DEFENSE SPF 50 MOISTURIZER is pretty thick, so all you need is a little dab to cover the entire face.
The product claims to be “fragrance-free” but it smells just like every other sunscreen out there. That “sunscreen” plastic scent is really strong at first, but it went away after about 3-5 minutes or so.
I found the cream left a shiny-sheen on my face, though it wasn’t oily and it’s supposed to be “non-greasy,” but I definitely had some shine going on.
Another thing I noticed was the thick-white color of the CETAPHIL UVA/UVB cream–probably from the titanium-dioxide–left my face with an ashen(ashy) color and I have very light olive-colored skin. But I’ve seen this happen with other sunscreens out there with an SPF higher than 25, so it’s not unusual. But if you’re dark-complected it can be a problem. Even if you aren’t, these thick sunscreens start to cake after reapplying and then turn white with perspiration so be forewarned.
It’s not bad for the higher SPF–especially if you’re going to be out in the sun like at a parade or ball game or something–but I find the CETAPHIL UVA/UVB MOISTURIZER to be just average.
The small 1.7 oz size is handy to carry around in a purse or pocket, but it’s not so good at the current price! You can get the same amount of UVA/UVB protection from Coppertone SPF # 50 Oil-Free Fragrance-Free 8 oz. for less money and more product.

|Excellent Sun Protection,
This is a very good sunscreen product, and very straight forward. It has an impressive amount of effective sunscreen ingredients in a standard lotion base. There are no bells and whistles. It’s sunscreen without fragrance, so it’s suitable for men and women.
My face is oily and my neck is normal. This is somewhat heavy on my face, but not surprisingly so, given the high degree of protection. It is not heavy on my neck at all. It does leave a bit of a white cast which seems to fade as the skin absorbs the product. No one has called me Casper yet, so I don’t think anyone has noticed. Neither the whiteness nor the heaviness are deal-breakers for me. They’re a very minor tradeoff for a good sunscreen. This is worth trying no matter your skin type, and I will use this product again.
