Review: Best moisturiser I have used - Some moisturisers I have used would need a lot of product in order to cover everywhere. However for this one, I was surprised at how easy it is to spread and how little amount is needed to do the same. It's very good quality, smells fine, feels hydrating and great on my sensitive skin and I feel assured that the SPF content will keep me safer than an ordinary moisturiser. Of course, it will look white on top of your skin when you apply it, as sunscreen typically does until it's soaked in, so don't worry about that. I definitely recommend this product
Review: Easy to use. - I wanted a moisturizer that incorporated sun screen. This one fitted the bill. It goes on nice and as others have stated, it looks a bit white and mat when applied (but that is cause it has a sun screen) Its OK for me as I usually put foundation on top, once its dried. Saves having to moisturize, sun screen and foundation. Instead of 3 products only 2. Its a small bottle so quite expensive but worth it. I found buying on desertcart this time was a lot cheaper than the chemist shops so I bought a couple.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does it leave a white cast on your face?**
A: Yes, it does. I don't know how fair skinned the other reviewers are but I can tell you that as a black woman this product is no good for us darker skinned individuals. It leaves a very distinct bluish-white cast to the skin which can only be covered up by using full coverage heavy foundation.

**Q: How effective is this at protecting against uva rating? (not spf which is 50), and not just the fact it's got the uva circle logo. thanks**
A: Not very spf friendly

**Q: Is it ok to use your own moisturiser after using this ? How does make up sit once this is used ?**
A: I usually put a small amount of this on after my moisturiser then apply my makeup. Acts a bit like a primer if you’ve washed and cleansed. I have combination skin, this is not too oily. It’s good 😊

**Q: Does this brightens the skin?**
A: No it’s just a daily moisturiser for sensitive skin perfume free.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Finally, a face SPF without tears!
*by A***R on 26 July 2021*

I’ve been using this product for a month now, and I’m pleasantly surprised. Having been unable to consistently use a face sunscreen before because I have dry/combination sensitive skin, and always ended up with allergic reactions, eyes watering all day because of overwhelming fragrance and it destroying makeup and causing breakouts despite claiming to be non-comedogenic, in comparison the Cetaphil Daily Defence has been great. - No allergic reaction, redness, hives or stinging. - My eyes water no more than normal, and there’s no stinging if the product gets close to my eyes, and there’s no strong fragrance throughout the day to be bothersome. - My skin broke out in a very minor way as it got used to the product, but that’s not uncommon for me with new products. - My makeup actually sits quite nicely over it. The product has a tackiness - like lots of sunscreens or dewy products - which helps products stick, though if you’re rough or other skincare products don’t mesh well together, it might pill. It’s also incredibly dewy/shiny/greasy looking on the skin, and as someone with dry skin I don’t hate this, and while I try to powder minimally as a rule, in the hot weather with this sunscreen on, I’ve been powdering more and but haven’t been feeling cakey or dry. - As a moisturiser it’s fine, but I either use another underneath in the morning or do a sleep mask moisturiser because that works for me. - I can’t really comment on white casting as I’m pretty pale, but I don’t notice any lightening on darker areas such as under eyes. - As a SPF50 with UVA/UVB protection, I’ve not burned or tanned, but I try not to be in full sun for too long because I do burn easily, so I hope it’s working! Overall I’ve really liked this product, but I have one gripe… it’s such a small tube! According to dermatologists, for good protection with SPF you’re supposed to use a 1/4 teaspoon per application on your face (just your face!) which is 1.25ml, so in this 50g bottle, there’s approximately 40 applications, and that’s without the recommended reapplication throughout the day. Have a bigger face, want to use it on your neck, chest or ears and that number of applications goes down. I’ve had this product 33 days… the tube is getting suspiciously light. Since I used it on my neck I’m going to assume I won’t make it to forty days. So Cetaphil, you lose a star for size, but you’re a good products, so if could you make this in bigger bottles for those of use who used SPF daily throughout the year, I’d be really grateful. Please and thank you. UPDATE: I think I ended up with approximately 45 days of use out of one of these tubes, I did write it down but forgot to update it at the time, and by the end of last summer (when I wrote the review) my skin looked great! Dryness was gone, skin texture minimised, redness reduced and my skin felt really soft and honestly the best it had in years… right up until the heating was put back on in the house continuously and my skin revolted against the dry air. This year I’ve not been using it because for the quantity I can’t justify the price sitting at the higher end - when I bought it initially it was approximately £6/7, now it’s at £9, which is still cheaper than Boots at £12! - and so alongside my regular moisturiser I have been using up sunscreens I already had (Garnier Sensitive Advanced Baby in the Shade 50+ and Nivea Sun UV Face Q10 50). They’re fine, but my skin isn’t that happy, it make my eyes water and I’m breaking out since including them in my routine, so I basically check this listing every other day just in case there’s an offer. Frankly I think I just need to bite the bullet and spend the money because I want my skin to look the way it did at the end of last summer, and the only product I added into my routine and continuously used was this. Still wishing it was either marginally cheaper or came in a bigger bottle, so it’s still four stars, not five (though it’s really a five).
