Pros
ConsThe details
Neutrogena Ultra Sheer is a top-notch non-greasy and oil-free sunscreen ideal for protection when you’re out in the sun. Its dry touch allows it to look clean and it feels extremely lightweight when applied.
Effectiveness
This sunscreen comes in a lotion form. While it does take an extra minute to apply, it offers a good duration of about 80 minutes. Formulated with patented Helioplex technology, paired with avobenzone and oxybenzone, it shields the skin from both UVA and UVB sun rays.
Helioplex works by stabilizing sunscreen ingredients to prevent the sun from breaking down their effectiveness. This makes sunscreens using this ingredient combination one of the most effective products on the market.
Ingredient quality
This lotion sunscreen comes out a bit thick with a slightly white cast that may need a bit of elbow grease to rub in. But once it sets in, it is all set to give you the protection you need.
The creamy base doesn’t feel too sticky but clings to the skin just right. After application, the sunscreen dries to a matte-like finish making it suitable to go under foundation and makeup.
Given its non-comedogenic formulation, it won’t block pores or cause breakouts which makes it an all-around safe product for the face and body.
However, there have been some concerns about the sunscreen causing slight stinging which may be due to sensitive skin issues. Make sure to test it out first via sampling or before making a purchase.
Safety
Many lotion sunscreens feel greasy and make the skin look shiny. But with Neutrogena Ultra Sheer there are no such worries. It doesn’t contain ingredients that are hard for the skin to absorb. Nor does it add any sheen after application.
Plus, it is made of non-comedogenic elements meaning it won’t clog pores, on the face or the body. It is also a PABA-free sunscreen that is also recommended by dermatologists, who ensure its safety for users.
Value for money
The sunscreen comes in a 3 fl. oz pack which is decent in terms of quantity. Each application lasts up to 80 minutes. Being water-resistant you can use it easily on wet skin as well making it a handy product that offers good value for the money.
Final verdict
Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Dry-Touch water-resistant and non-greasy sunscreen lotion comes with one of the most appealing price tags on the market. However, being less expensive does not mean it compromises its quality.
You can easily step out worry-free with long-lasting protection against the sun’s harmful rays.
