Product summary

Based on the ingredient list, we assess that "CeraVe - AM Facial Moisturiser SPF50 Normal to Dry Skin" can provide reliable sun protection. It can protect from both UVA and UVB rays. This is great news because not all sunscreens with SPF ratings give UVA protection. (UVA rays do not cause sunburn, but still damage our skin and lead to early aging).

It contains good moisturizing ingredients and can double as a hydrating day cream. Like all broad-spectrum sunscreens, this product helps prevent early signs of aging.

Sunscreen filters

This sunscreen uses so-called "chemical", or organic UV filters (organic simply means that their molecules contain atoms of carbon). These filters typically give good sun protection and rarely leave a white cast, but they can be irritating for sensitive skin. These are the sun protection ingredients in this sunscreen: tinosorb s 3.50% - 4.30%, avobenzone 2.00% - 2.50%, octisalate 3.20% - 3.90% and uvinul t 1.70% - 2.10%.
