Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Face Sunscreen Lotion SPF 50+
5 reviews
Been using this for years – I've been using this product for years and I like it. I have sensitive skin but this doesn't give me any rashes at all. I live at the Sunshine State so it's sunny all year round in Queensland even during winter. I trust this product. For me, it provides me the protect I need for my skin. I use this on my face, neck and arms.
Purchased at Chemist Warehouse for $15.50.
- Causes Irritation: No
This sunscreen stings – I’m not sure what they put in this sunscreen but it really stings! And for how much it costs, that’s pretty poor
Avoid! Bring back the old formulation! – Applied and within 1 minute, had a red rash and stinging, as other posters noted. Never experienced this with the previous product Ultra Sheer Dry-Touch which has been discontinued. Upon checking the product ingredients list, they are different. Please bring back the old formulation!
Started off well. Ended badly – I used it a few times and after the 4th time my skin was left very irritated and red with a burning sensation, this lasted 2 days. I do not recommend this product at all. The only positive was the matte look.
Stings, causes redness, flaking lips. Doesn't protect against sunburn – This seems to be quite a new sunscreen so I had to create the first review. I tried it on in-store to half my face to see how it absorbed (I applied invisible zinc to the other side of my face). I found the Ultra Sheer Face Sunscreen very runny but it dried quickly. Less than a minute after application my face stung and it caused noticeable redness on my cheek. I decided it was a dud and bought the invisible zinc sunscreen. BUT, like a sucker, I was lured back to trying the Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Face Sunscreen because I liked how it absorbed and looked as if I wasn't wearing sunscreen. I also have fairly sensitive skin and thought it would get used to the sunscreen and stop reacting. Well, 'ultra sheer' is right. I'm a teacher and a 20 minute lunchtime yard duty left me feeling a little sunburned. It simply is too thin to be of any use. If that didn't convince me, the sudden lip swelling and lip peeling convinced me to ditch it. It took 2 weeks of applying a chapstick to get rid of the skin peeling reaction. There's something in this sunscreen that skin does not like. I've read reviews on other sites mentioning 'stinging' after application. I've gone back to using a physical sunscreen, not this watery chemical one.
