this ones not for me, I used it a couple of times and at first I liked it - like it says it is dry touch, nice consistency that does not leave my face oily, however it made me breakout like crazy, i think there's definitely better out there.

Reviews
I used to use this sunscreen especially on my face. I find it works well for neck and cleavage but not so well on my face especially if I wear makeup on top. I think its a bit greasy and it takes forever to absorb into the skin. It did keep me from being burnt though. The size and shape of the tube is really good - small enough for a handbag but big enough not to go out and have to buy more every week.
I received a 14ml sample of this from my dermatologist (they have a 'lolly jar' at reception, filled with samples which I can never resist!) I've managed to get quite a few uses out of this size. What I like most about it is its high SPF and my skin has never burnt when I've used it.
I've only used it on my face. It is a thick white cream but it feels like you are using a normal face cream when you first apply it. I do find it sits quite heavily on my skin as I like to apply sunscreen generously. You definitely know it is a sunscreen as it has that distinctive smell. I haven't used this under makeup as I don't feel like this mattes down enough. Neutrogena do other, lighter facial sunscreens which I feel are better suited for wearing under makeup. Having said that, I would purchase this for using on bare faced days as my skin didn't react to it and most importantly it didn't burn.
I bought this sunscreen twice. The first time I bought it, it worked great, and I loved it. It worked exactly as advertised, it didn't feel greasy on the skin, and I was completely happy with it. But the second time I bought it, I noticed that after application, no matter how I applied it (patting in or rubbing in), not long afterwards I would get bits of the product flaking off my face, making it look like I had dry skin all over. It's very unfortunate as I really liked this sunscreen the first time around. I noticed the packaging had changed very slightly, so it's possible the formula was also adjusted.
This is a lovely sunblock, makes a lovely base for makeup as well, bonus. I've tended to put to much on and it can tend to sit on the skin. It does have a slight smell does a complete blockout for me, so a little goes a long way and does last all day. Because it's a dry block it does keep the shine on your face down so good when your very hot and the sun exposure is extreme. A good size tube to take away.
Tips: It does seam to go on better when your face is completely dry and your moisturiser has soaked in.
This is a great sunblock if you're really worried about reacting to the cream. I use this on any new-ish tattoos in order to preserve the colour while not having to worry about irritating the skin. I also love how light it is when applied, and so for that reason use it for my face. It doesn't leave the icky oily feeling that a lot of sunblocks tend to do - woohoo!
Tips: Great for healed up tattoos
I got this in a sample pack that Neutrogena were offering last year.
Sunblock is obviously something that is super important and yet almost every sunblock I had tried prior to this smelled bad, was greasy or too thick.
The scent in this is quite nice and fresh and the texture was just right. I liked that it was easy to blend into your skin and it didn't leave a greasy sheen on you.
Most importantly it works :) I purchased this early this year as the sample impressed me so much. I think the price is a little steep but sunblock is super important so I wasn't too upset about the price.
This is a great sunscreen and I have managed to finish my tube which is a rarity for me. I am actually not a great fan of sunscreen and prefer to cover-up than apply chemicals but this is one of the best I have tried. Not sticky, oily or greasy, compatible with my skin (usually my skin hates sunscreen) doesn't give me a rash or breakouts. You also only need a very small amount so it is quite economical.
I absolutely love this sunscreen. I am very vigilant about applying 1/2tsp of sunscreen on my face and neck to get the proper protection, and I find a lot of other sunscreens get greasy when you use that amount, but this does not. It dries to a really nice matte finish, which serves as a primer underneath my foundation which is a real bonus for me - the fewer products the better, I say. I'll definitely be repurchasing this when I run out. My only complaint is the price - it's 3x here as it is in the US!!!
Tips: Make sure you put 1/4tsp on your face and 1/4tsp on your neck. Using any less than that means you really compromise the amount of protection that you are getting.
This product most certainly works but feels quite yuck on the skin quite a heavy dryness it feels on the skin I would not recommend this product to anyone that already has dry skin or uses a heavy full coverage foundation
