Neutrogena Sheer Zinc Oxide Dry Touch Mineral Face Sunscreen Lotion

Excellent. Non-greasy. A little goes a long way. And it's full of the coveted zinc sunscreen, much recommended by the dermatologist.Like any of the zinc-based products, this sunscreen goes on kind of thick and scares you by laying down a white film. But don't panic! You can rub it in, or if you wander away from the mirror for a few minutes and come back, you may find the warmth of your body has caused it to melt a bit and soak in. It helps to put moisturizer on first, then layer the sunscreen over that. If you're using it on your face (and you happen to be female), this strategy adds a few minutes to your make-up routine, so allow for that in the morning. If I were a man, I'm not sure I'd put this on directly after shaving...test a small amount before slathering it on.Since I've started using this, the brown spots have faded significantly and the plague of actinic keratoses seems to have stopped. I now keep one tube in the bathroom and one in the car, where I can apply to hands and arms if I've forgotten to put it on before flying out the door.

Very useful full and suit on my face

Neutrogena makes trustable products. I've used their sunscreen for years, along with their other skin products. I love how Neutrogena makes affordable products that are effective and safe. While this sunscreen does provide me protection and has a matte finish, it has a strong white cast. My skin is fair, but this sunscreen takes it to another level. I look vampiric in broad daylight. I thought mineral sunscreen had evolved - hence, "sheer!" I do find this sunscreen hard to wash off with regular soap - I highly recommend doing a double cleanse.Definitely be warned, if you're not sensitive (or have an issue with) to chemical sunscreen, I advise using that or a tinted mineral sunscreen. I use this sunscreen when I go for runs - since I sweat a lot, I like how the water resistance keeps the sunscreen in tack. I feel like this product does prime the skin a little, if you plan to use a powder foundation, perhaps the white cast won't bother you too much. But there are other great products in the market, and you shouldn't have to accommodate to the product. It should work for you.

Works perfectly. Completely unscented. When first applied it is opaque white, but don’t worry. Spread it around by rubbing and it disappears. Doesn’t immediately come off when swimming. It doesn’t clog my pores and is not oily. And it doesn’t sting my eyes. It feels noticeable on the skin for a very short time. I put Cortisone-10 Aloe Cream lotion on my face before applying which makes it easier to wash the sunscreen completely off in the shower. Good stuff! Not sure, but I think some scuba diving locations / resorts/ pools only allow mineral sunscreens like this one. ( (Forgot to mention- I’m guessing you can use lotion other than the Cortisone-10 Aloe Cream (it’s available on Amazon) but it works so well that I stick with it. )

I have so many unused sunscreens in my house. They break me out as I have a real sensitivity to chemical sunscreens. This one was the first one I tried that didn't break me out, and I think it has helped my rosacea a bit as well (maybe I'm using other products that reduce it? Not sure). This Zinc product is a physical sunscreen, so that is what attracted me to this product. No more chemical sunscreens for me. I have a couple of other sunscreens I've been looking at if this one didn't work, but since this one does the job, I'll finished this tube and then I'll evaluate from there. I apply my day time skin care, and then dispense a pea sized amount for my face/neck/chest, and then I rub it in my hands and then pat it in. If I need more, then I'll dispense another pea sized amount and pat some more in. I know this product says it is "sheer" but I do get a bit of a white sheen on my skin after applying. However, it does fade after 15 minutes or so. And I also think it shows more depending on how much I apply. I'm 49, and I haven't been faithful about wearing sunscreen through the years. If you are reading this, then do one thing for yourself: wear sunscreen. Daily. My face is fine, as I've usually worn a foundation/BB cream that has a sunscreen in it. My neck/chest area don't look as good as they could, and it is something that I regret. Treat your skin well, folks. When you are my age, your skin will thank you.

So I notice the listing says this is for Sheer Zinc "Dry Touch", but nowhere in the packaging or product does it say "Dry Touch". Even in the photos for the product, none of them show "Dry Touch" on them for the face sunblock, and only one image for the body sunscreen 3 pack shows a different tube that says it.I know Neutrogena does have other sunscreens that say "Dry Touch" on them that may well be, but most of those come in blue tubes/packaging, not yellow, and be careful because some are not mineral. This one says it contains no oils, yet it sits on your face very greasy and shiny for HOURS. When first applying it feels thick and you really have to work to appear it around your face, it's not thin or light at all. Hours later I could touch my face, and my hand and fingers would come away shiny and oily. I thought this was supposed to be more of a light, matte sunscreen, but it's definitely neither. Giving it a 3 because I'm sure it will still protect from the sun, which is it's main purpose. But this cannot be my daily sunscreen.

Good product, it does its job efficiently.

This is a very emollient product, meaning it goes on very thick. It has a heavy white cast that fades in a few minutes. If you dark complected, this may not be for you. The white cast faded on me, but I'm very pale. It might linger on deeper skin tones. In trying to describe the scent, one minute it feels light and floral, the next it smells like ash.Instead of on my face, I'm using this product on my hands. I have extremely dry (and dare I say old-looking) hands. I always have. I know I need to apply sunscreen to my hands but then every time I wash my hands, the sunscreen disappears. This is a thick, clingy product and will not only provide the SPF that I need on my hands, but it makes them silky soft, too.Update:I have been using this product for a few days and also find that it is wonderful on my décolletage - aka my ( to my great dismay) aging neck and chest area. It gives me that glowing creamy look that I see on French women, that looks like they've applied foundation, but swear they wear very little makeup.I love it so much, I've updated my rating to 5 *****

It dissolves good in skinVery good for sensitive skinBut very expensive 🥺

Loving this one. Good base for my make up. Will purchase more

Good

It was quite expensive for one tube, however, the tube is 2 ounces which makes up for the price.

Je viens de recevoir le produit , au delà du prix un peu élevé , l’état du colis laissait à désirer . j’espère que la crème en question sera moins décevante aura les effets escomptés .
