Neutrogena Dry Touch Sunblock

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.

Neutrogena Dry Touch Sunblock

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.

Great high protection

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.

Neutrogena Dry Touch Sunblock Review

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.

Dry block

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.

Expensive but it works

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

Pretty good.

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.

Great protection and dry-touch finish

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.

Non-greasy and very effective

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.
