🩺 Clinical
CeraVe Facial Moisturizing with Sunscreen is a lotion applied to the face that combines a moisturizing base with chemical and mineral UV-blocking ingredients. Homosalate, octinoxate, octisalate, and octocrylene are chemical sunscreen filters that absorb ultraviolet light, while zinc oxide is a mineral sunscreen filter that reflects UV rays. This is an over-the-counter monograph product, meaning it is marketed under FDA's established rules for sunscreen and moisturizer products rather than as an individually reviewed application.
