Neutrogena UltraSheer Dry-Touch Sunblock SPF 50+
What it claims : Neutrogena UltraSheer Dry Touch Sunblock SPF 50+ (PA +++) is a breakthrough in sun protection. Stabilized with Helioplex™ Technology it provides superior balanced broad-spectrum protection against skin-aging UVA and burning UVB rays and combines it with Dry Touch technology for an ultra-light, non-shiny finish. This light weight sunblock has a light fresh scent and is gentle enough even for sensitive skin.
- Waterproof, sweatproof, resists rub-off
- Non-comedogenic (wont clog pores)
- Oil free and PABA free
Neutrogena UltraSheer Sunblock comes in a tube format.
Price : Rs. 450 for 88ml. Use before 2 years from date of manufacturing.
Ingredients :
The sunblock itself is white in color, has a medium runny creamy texture and has a light fragrance. Because of its creamy texture, its quite easy to apply this on the skin.
Helioplex is a patented formulation developed by Neutrogena to provide broad spectrum UVA/UVB protection containing Avobenzone and Oxybenzone. Avobenzone containing products have decreasing efficiency after a few hours of sun exposure, but the addition of Oxybenzone reduces the amount of degradation that occurs.
What I like about Neutrogena UltraSheer Dry-Touch Sunblock :
- Provides protection against UVA and UVB rays. Has SPF 50+ which is again a high level of sun protection
- Does not leave a whitish cast after application like many sunblocks/sunscreens
- Gets easily absorbed in the skin and skin does not feel greasy after application.
- Due to its medium runny consistency, application of this sunblock is very easy.
- During summers, I dont need a moisturizer under this. The sunblock is good enough for me. Though in winters a moisturizer is definately reqd. Its quite drying by itself.
- Like the name, it leaves a matte effect on the skin. Also this is oil-free so I am guessing this would work very well for oily-skinned people.
- True to its claim, it is waterproof and sweatproof.
What I dont like about Neutrogena UltraSheer Dry-Touch Sunblock :
- It could have been more moisturizing.
- I find the price to be on a higher side.
Have you tried this sunscreen ? Which is you fav sunscreen?
I have tried this sunscreen & it is my fav sunscreen to use when I know I’ll be spending more than an hour in the sun.. On normal days I use Neutrogena fine fairness spf 30 – that does provide more moisture but leaves a white cast 😦
I got this after ur reco only Tanveer 🙂 and dont regret a bit 🙂
ya I like this sunscreen too, it has a pleasant fragrance too 🙂
ya..nothing overwhelming and gets absorbed nicely too 🙂
how do u compare it with d lotus spf 50 spray ?
I got that after ur review n I love it..I used nomarks 1 before….bt sunscreens sweat me out 😦
Lotus 1 dint…n its pretty nice..
both work equally fine as far as sun protection is concerned..I just have a wee bit more preferance towards the lotus spray since its much easier to use and not as drying as this one 🙂
So glad to hear that you liked the lotus spray 😀 I too love it!
