This is a great everyday face sunscreen, it stays on well and I have not been burnt when using this for a few months over summer, I didn’t have any breakouts (I have sensitive acne prone skin). My only issue is that it is still a little greasy which can be awkward under makeup and gives a shiny look.

Reviews
I’m a fan of Cetaphil and this does moisturise well however I found it a little greasy for my skin and took a while to absorb. When I applied it I made sure to only use small amount and rub in well to counter the problem I had. I love that it is spf50 and can be found at a reasonable price online. It wouldn’t be my first choice of face moisturiser but would work well with other skin types.
I really like the Cetaphil range as it's a great price and is perfect for sensitive skin. A lot of moisturizing creams for the face with added sunscreen either give me acne, a really oily look or have a funny white glow under my foundation. But this goes on well and if I give it 5 mins before applying my foundation lightly over the top it looks great. If you have sensitive skin and trouble with using regular sunscreen on your face Cetaphil is a great value option. Really easy to apply and you don't need a lot.
Tips: wait 5 mins before applying foundation over the top.
I haven't had much luck in the past with Cetaphil moisturisers, but thought I'd try this one, as I've been on the hunt for a reasonably priced sunscreen that doesn't clog my pores and cause painful breakouts. I didn't like this product, as it felt quite greasy on the skin at first, as most sunscreens do on me, but it didn't feel like it sank into the skin at all, and of course, my skin broke out from using this. I won't be using this again, but if you don't have the same problems regarding sensitive/reactive skin as me, then it might work for you!
I'm really not liking this stuff. It leaves a slight white caste, which is okay I can deal with that being a really pale person anyway, but the heavy feeling of this on my skin is something else. My skin always looks super shiny and oily when wearing this. It doesn't dry down or absorb into my skin like I would expect, and I feel like I want to wash it off within a couple of hours (if not straight away because of the feel of it).
A few times I've attempted to wear foundation over it, I waited a good half-hour to 45 minutes before trying to apply make-up, but everything either pilled or would not stay put at all. Each time i tried troubleshooting it, leaving out steps of my skincare or certain products, but no matter what nothing helped it look decent.
This is my "at-home-not-going-anywhere-or-seeing-anyone" SPF for now. I'll finish the tube because I paid for it, so I'm not wasting it, but the weight an feel of it just isn't good for me at all.
