Cetaphil Daily Defence SPF for Sensitive Skin, SPF 30 Moisturiser/SPF 50 Mineral Sunscreen[Amazon-developed Certification] Compact by Design

I love this lightweight SPF face moisturiser. It absorbs well as isn't too heavy, without any white cast or greasiness, but keeps my skin really hydrated as well as sun protected. Fragrance free and oil free so perfect for my sensitive skin, and works well under make up too.

I wear this every day under my makeup as my last step in my skincare routine. The light texture and no perfume is why I love it and it drys quickly. It does leave a slight white cast but this goes after a few minutes as it soaks in really well and forms a lovely base for makeup. I've recommended it to loads of people as it's really good value for money

I’ve been using this product for a month now, and I’m pleasantly surprised. Having been unable to consistently use a face sunscreen before because I have dry/combination sensitive skin, and always ended up with allergic reactions, eyes watering all day because of overwhelming fragrance and it destroying makeup and causing breakouts despite claiming to be non-comedogenic, in comparison the Cetaphil Daily Defence has been great.- No allergic reaction, redness, hives or stinging.- My eyes water no more than normal, and there’s no stinging if the product gets close to my eyes, and there’s no strong fragrance throughout the day to be bothersome.- My skin broke out in a very minor way as it got used to the product, but that’s not uncommon for me with new products.- My makeup actually sits quite nicely over it. The product has a tackiness - like lots of sunscreens or dewy products - which helps products stick, though if you’re rough or other skincare products don’t mesh well together, it might pill. It’s also incredibly dewy/shiny/greasy looking on the skin, and as someone with dry skin I don’t hate this, and while I try to powder minimally as a rule, in the hot weather with this sunscreen on, I’ve been powdering more and but haven’t been feeling cakey or dry.- As a moisturiser it’s fine, but I either use another underneath in the morning or do a sleep mask moisturiser because that works for me.- I can’t really comment on white casting as I’m pretty pale, but I don’t notice any lightening on darker areas such as under eyes.- As a SPF50 with UVA/UVB protection, I’ve not burned or tanned, but I try not to be in full sun for too long because I do burn easily, so I hope it’s working!Overall I’ve really liked this product, but I have one gripe… it’s such a small tube!According to dermatologists, for good protection with SPF you’re supposed to use a 1/4 teaspoon per application on your face (just your face!) which is 1.25ml, so in this 50g bottle, there’s approximately 40 applications, and that’s without the recommended reapplication throughout the day. Have a bigger face, want to use it on your neck, chest or ears and that number of applications goes down.I’ve had this product 33 days… the tube is getting suspiciously light. Since I used it on my neck I’m going to assume I won’t make it to forty days.So Cetaphil, you lose a star for size, but you’re a good products, so if could you make this in bigger bottles for those of use who used SPF daily throughout the year, I’d be really grateful. Please and thank you.UPDATE: I think I ended up with approximately 45 days of use out of one of these tubes, I did write it down but forgot to update it at the time, and by the end of last summer (when I wrote the review) my skin looked great! Dryness was gone, skin texture minimised, redness reduced and my skin felt really soft and honestly the best it had in years… right up until the heating was put back on in the house continuously and my skin revolted against the dry air. This year I’ve not been using it because for the quantity I can’t justify the price sitting at the higher end - when I bought it initially it was approximately £6/7, now it’s at £9, which is still cheaper than Boots at £12! - and so alongside my regular moisturiser I have been using up sunscreens I already had (Garnier Sensitive Advanced Baby in the Shade 50+ and Nivea Sun UV Face Q10 50). They’re fine, but my skin isn’t that happy, it make my eyes water and I’m breaking out since including them in my routine, so I basically check this listing every other day just in case there’s an offer. Frankly I think I just need to bite the bullet and spend the money because I want my skin to look the way it did at the end of last summer, and the only product I added into my routine and continuously used was this. Still wishing it was either marginally cheaper or came in a bigger bottle, so it’s still four stars, not five (though it’s really a five).

The only daily moisturiser I have found that suits my super sensitive skin- I have tried others and this is the only one that continually I go back to! Can be pricey if you don’t find it on a deal though!

Easy to use and carry to use as a sun protector for my face and chest. Cheap enough to be generous with when re applying. Otherwise it is a lovely rich, easily absorbed moisturizer for daily use under make up. This is my second purchase of this cream.

Absoulety devastated with the formula change.Been using the orginal for 5 years and it was perfect. Didn't break my acne prone skin out, worked well after dermarolling / skin peels especially with the SPF. I cannot understand why they would change something that was perfect. The new one is one of the worst spf / moisturisers I've ever used. Broke me out in cystic acne, caused extreme dryness and made my eyes burn and eyelids flake. The moisturiser itself is watery, bitty and sits on top of the skin, leaving a white cast. I just can't believe it. Been looking for a alternative for weeks now to no avail and my skin is still recovering from this! Causing alot of stress! Wish they'd just make the old one available again!

The quality of the product is great but is heavily greasy and leaves a white cast.I have oily to combination skin and a bit tanned complexion

Very good on sensitive skin. Can sting eyes.
