Review of Neutrogena Ultra sheer dry touch sunblock SPF 50+ (PA +++)

RATING : 7.5 OUT OF 10

After using various sunscreens and sunblocks from Lotus Herbals, I purchased the Neutrogena sunblock this time. Neutrogena Ultra sheer dry touch sunblock SPF 50+ (PA +++) costs INR Rs 150 for 30 ml tube.



What Neutrogena claims about Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Dry-Touch Sunblock SPF 50+ : Neutrogena Ultra sheer dry touch sunblock SPF 50+ (PA +++) is a breakthrough in sun protection.



Stabilized withHelioplex™ 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 sun block has a light fresh scent and is gentle enough even for sensitive skin. broad spectrum uva - uvb PA+++ (uva protection rating)

I feel a bit greasiness and oiliness after using this sunblock, which I did not expect. Also though Neutrogena claims that Neutrogena Ultra sheer dry touch sunblock SPF 50+ (PA +++) delivers a non-shiny look, but its not totally non-shiny as you can see from the picture posted below.

If you are having dry or combination skin, then this Neutrogena Ultra sheer dry touch sunblock SPF 50+ (PA +++) is the right sunblock for you as this makes the skin much softer and moisturises the face without drying the skin. This sunblock wont cast a whitish cast on the face and absorbs within a moment. It has a mild fragrance. The pack is travel-friendly, since it comes in a small tube.

My skin did not break out after using this Neutrogena Ultra sheer dry touch sunblock SPF 50+ (PA +++) but I am uncomfortable with its greasiness (even though less). The sunblock contains various chemicals, so its better to go for a skin patch test before using on the face. Since the sunblock contains SPF 50+ and has Helioplex which delivers high protection from the sun rays.

No I wont re-purchase the product again.
