Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Dry-Touch Sunblock, SPF 45 3 fl oz (88 ml)

Comments about Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Dry-Touch Sunblock, SPF 45, 3 fl oz:

I purchased this sunscreen to use daily on my oily, sensitive face and my neck and hands. It met all my requirements: a UVA/UVB-blocking chemical sunscreen (since mineral sunscreens tend to leave a white cast), antioxidants, few emollients/a dry feel, and little or no fragrance or other irritants.

This product is great for anyone with oily skin – it really does look and feel matte after application, but I wouldn't recommend this to someone with dry, or sensitive skin.

This sunscreen stings the skin near my eyes. It stings all-over after I use a chemical exfoliant, or if my skin is unusually dry. Not a tingle, either, a dear-god-get-it-off sting. Despite the popular notion that avobenzone causes the stinging, for me it was the oxybenzone.

I have since switched to an avobenzone sunscreen without oxybenzone (Olay Complete Ageless Skin Renewing UV Lotion) and had no problems. The Neutrogena went to a friend with more resilient skin.

It probably works alright, but I can't stand the old lady perfume smell. I'm sensitive to a lot of products and this one didn't seem to bother me, except for the smell.

Neutrogena DRY TOUCH products are really good overall, and I've been using them for years. However, I have one beef with the formulation of these products: they're NOT waterproof!! Come on, Neutrogena, I know you have chemists who work there. Can't come up with a waterproof - REALLY waterproof - sunblock??? If you did, the product would be flying off the shelves.

I've read the reviews, and that's one of the primary complaints. The other complaints concern a residue. Those folks are probably using too much...

I can use it everyday before going out in the California sunshine because it goes on without staining my clothes or feeling too heavy but gives sun protection I need.

This stuff is amazing! I won't bore you with a long review. Basically the pros and cons tell it all.

I have sensitive skin and did not have any reaction to the product. It has a light feel to it and easy to rub in.

It produces a great finish to the skin for going without makeup or as a base for makeup. BUT, even when I deliberately use an equal or greater amount than I would with my usual oily SPF 30 from another company, it doesn't seem to provide as much protection. And, I've never had any sunscreen burn worse if it in any way comes in contact with the eyes.

Applied the product 30 minutes before I got into the water. It does not absorb very quickly and a little greasy, but I could live with that if it worked well. With the first splash of water the product stings eyes so you know it doesn't stay in place and washes off easily. If it was waterproof I wouldn't have burned myself.

A common problem w/ sunscreen usage is people put on too little. Unfortunately, when I try to put on the 'recommended' amount, it doesn't dry and looks greasy, until I put foundation powder over it. At least, it doesn't get clumpy and flake off when I do that, unlike some other sunscreens. If I use a lot less product, it does live up to the sheer (though not completely dry) claim, but that's not good practice, is it, even at SPF 45? The worst thing for me is that, maybe it's the eye cream I put on before hand, this stuff runs into my eyes and irritates them the entire day, so I look red-eyed. I'm still on the hunt for a good sunscreen.
