Hi there! Happy Wednesday!
If where you live is anything like where I am here in Michigan, the winter months make you crave sunshine, but even when it doesn’t look sunny it is important to wear SPF every day to protect your skin. Several months ago I shared my favorite sunscreen for the face, the Algenist Sublime Defense Ultra Lightweight UV Defense Fluid SPF 50, but have recently been trying out the CeraVe AM Face Moisturizer to see if it’s a more affordable drugstore option.

My Thoughts
I was not surprised when this had a strong white cast because it is a sunscreen product, but it is much thicker than the Algenist Sublime Defense which is a very liquidy consistency, if I put some of the CereVe on my hand I could flip my hand over and it wouldn’t fall off. I found that as I would rub this into my skin it would pill up, similar to if you get fuzzies from socks or pajama pants, but if I used less of the lotion and rubbed it in upwards circles it worked without the pilling issue. I now only use this product mixed with other facial moisturizers (this is my favorite) and it seems to work very well that way. I do have combo/oily skin, so if you have dry skin you may not have the issues with the product pilling as you rub it into the skin. Would I buy it again? I would in a pinch to mix with other face moisturizers if I needed an affordable facial SPF that didn’t break me out, but otherwise, I’ll stick to the Algenist Sublime Defense. I do enjoy the CeraVe brand and was bummed I didn’t like this more. I am happy that it doesn’t break me out and will use it mixed. If you know of a fantastic drugstore facial moisturizer with SPF 30+, please comment because I would love to try it!
