CeraVe AM Facial Moisturizing Lotion SPF 30 vs Supergoop! Mattescreen SPF 40
Two options for the same routine step. Compare recorded facts and historical discussions, with the evidence limits kept visible. These separate samples do not establish a winner or individual suitability.
What to compare
- Why consider it
- Consider a sunscreen listing zinc oxide and titanium dioxide when comparing mineral and organic-filter formulas; tint and formula versions need checking.
- What stays similar
- Both occupy the sunscreen step; label SPF, regional formula and instructions must be checked separately.
- What changes
- CeraVe AM Facial Moisturizing Lotion SPF 30: The CeraVe AM brand page lists homosalate, octinoxate, octocrylene and zinc oxide plus niacinamide; applicability to the historical SPF30 review pool remains unverified. Supergoop! Mattescreen SPF 40: The current Mattescreen brand page lists titanium dioxide and zinc oxide plus dimethicone; the page has multiple tint options, so the historical analyzed variant is not confirmed as equivalent.

How to read this comparison
- CeraVe AM Facial Moisturizing Lotion SPF 30 — Historical targeted recall enriched for explicit oily/combination self-reports; separate from the main sample and not population prevalence. Analysis version: A5-v7-sol.
- Supergoop! Mattescreen SPF 40 — Historical targeted recall enriched for explicit oily/combination self-reports; separate from the main sample and not population prevalence. Analysis version: A5-v7-sol.
Preliminary marks a topic kappa from 0.60 to just under 0.80. Topics below 0.60, or without an applicable numeric kappa, are withheld. We use the lowest applicable numeric topic kappa; undefined constant-label metrics are not treated as perfect scores. Model agreement does not establish independent accuracy.
Only counts are shown. For fewer than 30 topic mentions, the sample is too small for a reliable proportion. We have not recoded or expanded the historical samples for this page.
Price not compared. No pair of validated offers with the same explicitly bound capacity and unit was available. Check current price, availability, package and regional formula with the merchant.
Check the current label before choosing a product. Historical reviews do not confirm current formula equivalence. Consumer experiences are not medical advice.
