    Finally a sunblock I'm glad to use. I hated sunblocks/lotions even though I know you really need them. What did I hate? The oily feel. This product really has none of that. After it's on you have none of the feeling you have a layer of oil on your skin. It works great. No sign of a burn even after long outside exposure.It is a bit pricey but worth every penny as I actually use it. I really don't write reviews. but, I did want to share this with people like me who know they should be using a product like this but don't.

    I have been using this stuff daily for a year. I was looking for a product that wouldn't make my sensitive skin break out. And this doesn't. It offers great protection, isn't greasy and goes well under makeup.
    However--it is a sticky mess. I am very fair and never leave the house without sunscreen on every exposed part of my body. This stuff gets on my clothes, my watch, my car seats, my handbag. Anything that comes into contact with my arms or legs has a sticky white spot on it.
    So, while I might recommend it for long days out in the sun, I'm going to stop using it as my daily sunscreen.

      Comments about Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Sunblock, SPF 85, 3 fl oz:

      i burn very easily and have very sensitive skin on my face. i used this for cycle touring and camping where i had to wear sunscreen all day while cycling in hot weather. it never ran into my eyes or irritated my skin in any way. and it stayed effective longer than any product i have used before. it is an improvement over the "dry touch" sunscreen which left my skin too dry and slightly irritated. this is the best sunscreen i have ever used.

        Independent reviews indicate this combination of ingredients should be more effective than the ingredients used separately in other products. It goes on easily and my moisturizer and foundation seem compatible with it. No unpleasant odor like some other sun blocks.

            I am allergic to the sun and have to use a lot of sunscreen. I have tried many. This one works, but it leaves my face white--I look like I've seen a ghost. I prefer a sunscreen that I can wear and no one else around me knows that I am wearing it.!

              Comments about Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Sunblock, SPF 85, 3 fl oz:

              I garden for 2-3 hours several times a week and my 50 year old skin just doesn't handle the sun well anymore. I started using this product at the beginning of the season this year and find it to be very effective in preventing sunburn and the facial discoloration that occurs every summer from sun exposure. It doesn't smell bad, it's not greasy, it doesn't sweat off easily and it blends into my skin quickly, leaving no white residue. My skin looks clearer and feels great. I am well pleased with this product.

                I love this sunblock! It is great because it is fragrance free. It is also not gooey. I can't stand sunblock or lotion that makes me feel greasy. I have very sun-sensitive skin; so 85 spf is great for me. It goes on smooth and feels dry. I don't swim outside much, so I don't know how it would do with water, but for hot, sweaty days, it is ideal. Hope this helps.

                I have fair skin so I burn very easily. After using this sunblock last summer, I never got 1 sunburn! I would highly recommend this for fair skinned people!

                    Let me start out by saying that I have never had sensitive skin. I had been using this product for about 6 months. I have Melasma aswell, and need to use a daily suncreen to prevent my Melasma from getting worse.
                    I got this odd reaction under my eyes and my cheeks and forehead. My doctor recommended that I stop using for a week, till it cleared up. After a week It did, and I tried again, and got the same sore, rough patches. It was very painful and itchy.

                      Okay, this sunscreen is good for spontaneous use, like when you go out to the beach, or play sports.
                      I started using it everyday in the morning though, on my nose and cheeks, and it worked fine the first couple of days, but then my nose started to look really bad. I had a ton of clogged pores and it was greasy, and it was just bad. I stopped using it in the morning, and my nose has gone back to normal.
                      So I like it as a sunscreen, but it is not for everyday use.

                        I had the SPF 55 version last year, but didnt' use it much bc it gave me a white cast on my face. This time I took a chance to try the SPF 85 & surprisingly it's much better! No white cast, very smooth, & definitely non greasy! Just love it!!!

                          I have melasma (brown patches) on my face, my dermatologist recommended Neutrogena 85 sunblock for my face to use on a daily basis alone or under makeup. If i don't use an effective sunblock my melasma darkens and spreads, by using the neutrogena sunblock i have been able to prevent this from happening. the neutrogena sunblock 85 has a light easy to rub in feeling and i know my face is being protected, i highly recommend it!
