How to choose: CeraVe AM vs Ultra-Light SPF 30
AM includes ceramides, niacinamide and hyaluronic acid with a hybrid filter combination. Ultra-Light also includes ceramides and hyaluronic acid and is positioned for normal to oily skin. Choose according to how the full amount feels in your routine rather than assuming a shared brand means identical filters. Check the SPF 30 version carefully because CeraVe also sells other AM SPF variants. Neither name alone establishes water resistance for swimming.

Shopping on Amazon US

Using sunscreen well
Choose broad-spectrum protection. Then follow the label for the amount to apply and spread it evenly. Outdoors, reapply at least every two hours. Also follow the label after swimming, sweating or towel drying. Sunscreen is one part of protection, so use shade, clothing, a hat and sunglasses too. For babies under six months, first ask a health professional.
