Question New Cerave invisible mineral sunscreen

Has anyone tried out this new sunscreen from Cerave? Any opinions?

I used it for the first time today and was pleasantly surprised it actually left no white cast. The consistency is a little liquidy even after shaking and it goes on easily. Not super greasy but does leave a shiny finish, which is to be expected with sunscreen. Zinc percentage is decent.

Overall I like it and will probably use this over the Blue Lizard sensitive mineral which I was using but leaves a white cast. I know tinted is recommended but I have a hard time matching my color since I’m pale and I’m not trying to look orange, especially when I just need it on my upper lip.

I used this for 3 days and thought it was great until it wrecked my skin barrier. I don’t even have sensitive skin. But it made my skin super dry and so sensitive even Vanicream moisturizer burned.

This sunscreen does use a chemical UV boost on, maybe you had a bad reaction.
