Customer Reviews

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.

Works a Treat for Me
I've been using this for over two months now and I just love it. I love the non greasy, high SPF factor. I love how I seem to glow after I apply it to my face. I love how my hands feel when I rub it in. I even use it on my feet before going to bed. Five stars from me.

Non Greasy SPF 50, Who Woulda Thunk it?
When I saw this product and saw it had a SF 50 rating I didn't quite believe it could be any good, because I've tried an SPF 30 in the past and it was almost like paint. Somehow, someway Celaphil found a way to make SPF 50 non-greasy, light weight and with no filmy white residue.

I've been using this for a month now and love it. This moisturizer goes on my face smoothly and feels so light I forget I've got it on. What a nice way to protect my face from the sun's harmful rays.
