Neutrogena Healthy Skin Glow Sheers

Average member rating of 5.0
Average member rating
Rated a 6.5
Finding your exact color match can be tricky, since there are only five choices (not counting the bronzer). If you are so lucky, the natural coverage is comparable to the high-end Laura Mercier Tinted Moisturizer -- lightweight, sheer and non-greasy. Skip it if you prefer foundation that delivers medium or full coverage. Bonus points for antioxidants and SPF 30, but the noticeable sunscreen smell can be a turnoff.

    Nice for summer...

    I was looking for a nice tinted moisturizer that wasn't super expensive (cough cough Bobbi Brown!) :) and thought that this fit the bill well.

April 22, 2008, 8:43 am I was looking for a nice tinted moisturizer that wasn't super expensive (cough cough Bobbi Brown!) :) and thought that this fit the bill well. I have normal combination skin that is slightly ruddy, and this works great for me. It evens out my complexion, moisturizes, and gives me my SPF all in one product. I did, however, have to put some pore minimizer on my nose, as this didn't cover up my greasies there quite to my liking. Other than that, I like it. April 22, 2008, 8:43 am

It does make a warm, dewey foundation, but with hardly any coverage, It's not worth it for me. I would suggest this only to those with dry skin, for it tends to become greasy on those with normal/combination skin. It lives up to its name, just not my expectations February 28, 2008, 5:30 pm

I use this product on my cheeks in conjunction with another foundation (clinique superfit)...it's gives me a nice glow on on my cheeks that makes my skin a healthy glow which is what I use it for... so if you are looking for quick fix with low maintenance this is your product.

    Undetectable coverage

    by jenntuition (14 reviews)
    This provides the perfect type of coverage that my slightly ruddy skin needs. It doesn't do a great job of hiding darker spots or blemishes, but is perfect to even out the skin tone. I can use it only on the areas where I need it, and the texture is sheer enought to blend in with the rest of my face. I don't like wearing... May 20, 2008, 8:27 am This provides the perfect type of coverage that my slightly ruddy skin needs. It doesn't do a great job of hiding darker spots or blemishes, but is perfect to even out the skin tone. I can use it only on the areas where I need it, and the texture is sheer enought to blend in with the rest of my face. I don't like wearing foundation, so this is the perfect solution for occasions when I need more coverage. May 20, 2008, 8:27 am

    on the fence

    by buibear (34 reviews)
    I bought this yesterday because I really need a tinted moisturizer for summer. I like the the dewy look it gives me but it doesnt cover too much. I'm hoping that after playing with it for a few days I'll find a way to make it work. The SPF 30 is a huge bonus though. April 28, 2008, 6:51 pm

    Great Product for the Price

    by girlwomanbeautybrainsblog (208 reviews)
    The price, the SPF 30, and the sheerness makes this a great product. I own Bobbi Brown's moisturizing tint and DuWop's , but I use Neutrogena when I am walking or playing tennis because of the SPF 30. The light to medium tends to lean towards the color orange, which is fine for the summer. April 24, 2008, 5:56 am

    Yuck!

    by Chipie (14 reviews)
    I was so excited when I found this product. I'd been looking for a light coverage foundation that would give me that fresh, dewy look. What a let down! It covered absolutely nothing and it ended up making my skin look greasy rather than dewy, ewwww! Don't waste your money! March 29, 2008, 2:26 am

February 13, 2008, 5:52 pm I had used the tinted moisturizer for a couple of years and was sadly disappointed when I found that Neutrogena stopped producing it. I switched over to the Healthy Skin Glow Sheers expecting the same quality. I used this product for 8 months and have finally switched foundations because it makes my skin feel slightly greasy and I seem to be having more breakouts than usual (greasy skin=breakouts). Plus I never really got the "glow" that this product claims to have. I have otherwise normal skin. This might be a good choice for warmer weather when you want something light and with an SPF.

    Mixed results

    by Clbailey1 (62 reviews)
    Very light, ended up being a bit lighter coverage than I expected. If you've got stuff to cover up, this won't do it. I've had better luck with Neutrogena tinted moisturizer. Since there are only six shades, it was tricky to get the right color. I actually ended up buying two tubes, as the first one I bought was a bit d... November 29, 2007, 6:15 pm Very light, ended up being a bit lighter coverage than I expected. If you've got stuff to cover up, this won't do it. I've had better luck with Neutrogena tinted moisturizer. Since there are only six shades, it was tricky to get the right color. I actually ended up buying two tubes, as the first one I bought was a bit darker than I needed and made me look like my face was a slightly different color than my neck. I went back and got a lighter tube, which is a touch too light, but closer to my skin tone than the other tube. If I mixed the two, the color might be just right. It did give a bit of a glow, which is nice. November 29, 2007, 6:15 pm

    Not quite right. I had high hopes for this product as I swear by Neutrogena tinted moisturizer in the summer instead of foundation. The shade selection, however, is very limited.

I had high hopes for this product as I swear by Neutrogena tinted moisturizer in the summer instead of foundation. The shade selection, however, is very limited. I chose the same shade as the tinted moisturizer (40 - medium to tan). I have to admit it looks darker in the tube but I thought it would be OK, it was the same shade I was already using in a different format. Even though it was very sheer, there was a noticeable difference between my skin and the product. I did love the "glow sheer" part, but all the same, it looked a bit funky. I'll try again however, and go down a shade because I really do love Neutrogena. November 15, 2007, 9:07 am
