I'm into skin care and this is a less costly and great chemical sunscreen!
by MimiGuzzardo (1 review)The reason this product is so good is because of this.... [something most people do not even know] most all sunscreens you see in stores even high the end type products in dept. stores/spas etc. degrade within 15 to 20 minutes of sun exposure! However this does not. It is a chemical sunscreen meaning no zinc or titanium ox... May 26, 2008, 2:28 am The reason this product is so good is because of this.... [something most people do not even know] most all sunscreens you see in stores even high the end type products in dept. stores/spas etc. degrade within 15 to 20 minutes of sun exposure! However this does not. It is a chemical sunscreen meaning no zinc or titanium oxide, these are physical types and are heavy and most all of them leave a white cast on your face - but many do work well but it is heavy and if you wear foundation it is not so pretty. This Neutrogena sunscreen is a very good one and I'm happy to have found what one in the know would call a call a "stable sunscreen". Go for it! I'm glad i did it is light and it works. Remember use a 1/4 tsp for your face..do not skimp and the neck and chest too.8 of 8 people found this review helpful.

Lives up to the hype
by Gemstone37 (2 reviews)The sun is not my friend, and I have the photo damage to prove it. So finding a product with an adequate SPF proved difficult. Not only is my skin incredibly pale, but it's also oily and acne-prone. Most products I tried broke me out immediately. And being vain as I am, I chucked them at the first sign of a serious breakout... June 3, 2008, 3:02 pm The sun is not my friend, and I have the photo damage to prove it. So finding a product with an adequate SPF proved difficult. Not only is my skin incredibly pale, but it's also oily and acne-prone. Most products I tried broke me out immediately. And being vain as I am, I chucked them at the first sign of a serious breakout and went without. Neutrogena's Ultra Sheer Dry-Touch sunblock does not irritate my skin, though if I get it too close to my eyes, they will begin to water. I've also found it provides a nice base for me to apply my foundation. Hours after application, my foundation isn't running, and my face isn't an oil slick. Although this product is not a true sun block-- there is no such product-- the level of protection it provides leaves me feeling safe to go out in the sun. I give it the highest rating.7 of 7 people found this review helpful.

Amazing!
by farrenfashion (1 review)I absolutely love this sunscreen. I have it in SPF 70. It has a slight smell which reminds me of these tiny decorative bars of soap my mom used to have when I was younger. So, the smell isn't overpowering and fades away after application. It isn't greasy and lives up to the dry-touch in it's name. I love the packaging too! ... May 20, 2008, 5:02 pm I absolutely love this sunscreen. I have it in SPF 70. It has a slight smell which reminds me of these tiny decorative bars of soap my mom used to have when I was younger. So, the smell isn't overpowering and fades away after application. It isn't greasy and lives up to the dry-touch in it's name. I love the packaging too! It fits easily into your hand and is compact enough to fit in your purse if you want to take it on the go. And I actually prefer this sunscreen to much pricier ones I've used, like a Murad one that I gave away after I got this one. The clincher is definitely the dry-touch, because a lot of sunscreens I've used feel greasy and yucky under my foundation or even just on their own. I highly suggest you go out and get this sunscreen for the summer season!6 of 6 people found this review helpful.

Fantastic Coverage Even for Medical Needs

I love this product!!! It feels like a lotion but is an amazing sun protectant. I rcently was diagnosed with lupus so i get a ig itchy/ painful rash when my skin is exposed to the sun.

It feels like a lotion but is an amazing sun protectant. I rcently was diagnosed with lupus so i get a ig itchy/ painful rash when my skin is exposed to the sun. Living in Southern California i really feel the erge to go to beach and hang out in my backyard by the pool and the SPF 70 gives me the amazing ability to do so. I don't have to reapply for hours and so far i haven't had a rash since i've been using the Sheer dry-touch sunblock. My boyfriend also loves that i'm not greasy and sticky to touch like with most other sunblocks which is nice since i need to wear sunscreen all the time outdoors. It also doesn't clog pores and is hypoallergenic so my sensitive doesn't break out oir get a rash from the contents of the product like with so many other types of sunblock. The packaging is great simplisticsunscreen bottle but isn't slick so when you're putting on the sunblock it doesn't slip through your fingers and since a little bit goes a long ways with this product the bottle is small enough too slip discretely into your purse, pockets, or backpack for those frequent reappliers. This sunblock is worth every penny everyone should have some... Happy Beach Going!!!6 of 6 people found this review helpful.

May 20, 2008, 7:20 am I lived in Hawaii for 6 years and tried many sunscreens and this was the best! I didn't sweat it off, it didn't feel gross and it smelled nice. It was well worth the price! The only thing was if you rubbed it in too much it would kind of flake, but easily remedied by not rubbing it in too much. I really felt this product protected my skin from the damaging sun. Love this stuff and would definitely recommend using it!5 of 5 people found this review helpful.

May 20, 2008, 6:46 am I have issues with the sun and I must wear a sunblock. This Neutrogena product makes what I deem a chore in the summer a pleasure. The product consistency is light, absorbs thoroughly and dries quickly. I use 1-2 bottles a year. Each year Neutrogena enhances this product and I am greatful. I have to be honest since I am a loyal user and I must watch my pennies, I watch for the sales and buy up. I have tried Lancome, private label and Coppertone but I prefer my Neutrogena Ultra Sheer. Product size also fits easily into my car and purse. Better yet, it always works.5 of 5 people found this review helpful.

December 16, 2007, 8:15 pm As someone who is extremely pale and very careful about sun protection, I am picky about which sunscreens I use. This one is one I would definitely recommend. My mother-in-law gave it to me and I am so glad she did! It's lightweight enough to wear under makeup, but doesn't feel watery like some sunscreens can feel. I love that it has an SPF of 70 (yes, I have heard that anything above SPF 30 is just 30 with a higher number, but, hey, can't hurt, right?) Doesn't feel thick on or have any scent like other sunscreens do. A good purchase!5 of 5 people found this review helpful.

November 12, 2007, 6:49 pm I really like this product b/c I have oily skin. It gives sunblock protection w/o the greasyness and smellyness of typical sunblocks. Because it is dry-touch it doesn't go on that smoothly but I just put it on right after I let my daily moisturizer sit in order to aide the application process. I never used to wear sunblock on my face until this product because it is all about a good product for a good price. I have to say there are other more expensive products that I would rather use if I could afford them, but this is great for the price!5 of 5 people found this review helpful.

October 11, 2007, 10:44 pm Neutrogena went above and beyond with this product. I was given a tube by my radioligist before I started radiation therapy for cancer. It never irritated the skin did not make me smell like a fruit and never went on greasy. Even the sheerest materials did not stick to me nore did it cause red patches where the radiatin had burned the skin. Loved the product I still use it. My plastic and reconstruction doctors both use it if you are undergoing treatments ask your doctors, it really did a great job with me.5 of 5 people found this review helpful.

I love this sunscreen for one simple reason: it's the only one I've ever used that doesn't leave my face looking and feeling like I just applied a vat of grease all over it!

March 17, 2008, 11:22 am I love this sunscreen for one simple reason: it's the only one I've ever used that doesn't leave my face looking and feeling like I just applied a vat of grease all over it! I have seriously oily, acne-prone skin, and I can't emphasize enough how much this product really does make my skin look matte, while providing a serious dose of sun protection. Plus, the matte effect lasts; I don't even get greasy several hours later. This works!!!4 of 4 people found this review helpful.
