CeraVe Facial Moisturizing Lotion SPF 50, 3 oz — Mineral Sunscreen with Ceramides & Hyaluronic Acid

CeraVe AM Facial Moisturizing Lotion SPF 50 is a lightweight daily face moisturizer that combines broad-spectrum mineral sunscreen with ceramides, niacinamide, and hyaluronic acid to hydrate and protect skin without a white cast.

This 3 oz daytime lotion is formulated with three essential ceramides and micro-fine zinc oxide to support the skin’s protective barrier while delivering SPF 50 UVA/UVB defense. Designed in collaboration with dermatologists, the formula uses MVE controlled-release technology for sustained hydration and is fragrance-free, non-comedogenic, and suitable for use under makeup. It absorbs quickly, leaves a non-greasy finish, and aims to be gentle on most skin types.

How does this lotion protect my skin from sun damage?

The product uses micro-fine zinc oxide to provide mineral-based, broad-spectrum SPF 50 protection against UVA and UVB rays. Because it’s a high-SPF facial sunscreen, it helps reduce the amount of UV exposure your skin receives when applied properly and reapplied as directed.

• SPF 50 broad-spectrum protection with micro-fine zinc oxide
• Recommended reapplication every two hours for continued effectiveness
• Lightweight texture that layers under makeup without pilling

Will this moisturizer work for sensitive or acne-prone skin?

CeraVe AM is formulated to be gentle: it’s fragrance-free, non-comedogenic, and includes niacinamide to help calm the appearance of skin. The inclusion of three ceramides supports barrier repair, which can benefit sensitive or barrier-compromised skin when used consistently.

• Non-comedogenic, less likely to clog pores
• Niacinamide to soothe and support an even-looking complexion
• Ceramides 1, 3, and 6-II help restore the skin’s protective lipids

How does the lotion hydrate without feeling greasy or leaving a white cast?

Hyaluronic acid attracts and holds moisture while the MVE delivery system releases hydration over time, preventing heavy, oily sensations. The zinc oxide is micro-fine and formulated to blend smoothly across a range of skin tones, minimizing visible residue.

• Hyaluronic acid for immediate moisture retention
• MVE technology for steady, long-lasting hydration
• Micro-fine mineral sunscreen designed to minimize whitening

How should I incorporate this into my morning routine?

Use CeraVe AM as the final step in your morning skincare routine after serums and moisturizers have fully absorbed. Apply generously to face and neck, allow a few moments to set, and reapply every two hours when outdoors or after sweating.

• Apply after cleansing and treatment products, before makeup
• Use the recommended amount to achieve labeled SPF protection
• Reapply every two hours for sustained sun protection

Who this is for: This facial lotion is suited to anyone wanting daily mineral sun protection paired with proven barrier-supporting ingredients — especially those who prefer fragrance-free, non-greasy formulas that layer well under makeup. It’s a practical option for normal, combination, and sensitive skin types looking to combine hydration and high-SPF defense in a single morning product.
