Cetaphil - amg3268 review for Redness Relieving Daily Facial Moisturizer with Sunscreen

Recently, I’ve been on the hunt for a tinted moisturizer with SPF that won’t break the bank. I was met with options such as the It Cosmetics CC cream and the Laura Mercier tinted moisturizers that were so perfect, but so out of my budget. I really wanted to give some cheaper alternatives a chance, and this is how I stumbled upon the *underrated* Cetaphil tinted moisturizer, aimed at rosacea prone skin types! I paid around $12 for this moisturizer. The packaging itself says that that the tinted formula aims to neutralize the appearance of redness and evens skin tone. I find that this does give coverage for my redness, but the tint oxidizes on my skin and ends up looking orange. I’d say the tint is more geared for a light medium skin tone, but I make it work on my ❄️ white skin tone anyway. This formula contains physical SPF filters, Zinc Oxide and Titanium Dioxide. Although only SPF 20, I love having the added protection since I go in with a chemical based spf underneath it (I know this goes against the rules of SPF where moisturizer goes before SPF but I use this moisturizer as my foundation step). Because I don’t normally bring my chemical SPF up to my eyes, I love that I can use this around the eye area without any burning and stinging. As for the finish, this moisturizer is super DEWY on my oily skin. I think this would be perfect for dry skin types but I can’t use this without blotting it or setting it with powder. It makes me look shiny/greasy without powder, but once I do set it, it leaves behind a really pretty, luminous finish.
