Neutrogena Dry Touch Sunblock

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.

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!!!

I do like how this sunscreen isn't too greasy, though I have to moisturise very well before application, otherwise it's very hard to spread and I worry that I have patches of no sunscreen.

Neutrogena always has very high SPF in their sunblock, but I remember reading somewhere that selling something as over SPF 50 is misleading, because people think that they will be very very protected and may use less or something.... not sure if it was a NZ thing, but it was also something to do with the fact that SPF is a logarithmic scale, which doesn't mean that SPF 40 is double protection compared to SPF 20 which could also mislead people. Anyway, just a tangent. There doesn't seem to be as much of a white tint to this which is great.

I got introduced to this spf moisturizer when I was working at a spa and cafe. They applied this on clients after facials before applying mineral make up. Since they were using it at the spa, I figured it must feel light and be good under makeup so I thought to give it a shot. I would have to give this sunscreen an A+ for it's light and clean, non-greasy finish. It doesn't feel like you're wearing sunscreen and is fantastic under makeup and even thought it's a bit higher priced for a supermarket sunscreen it's not really expensive especially since the tube is 88ml instead of the typical 50ml. The tube lasted me a long time and helped me get into the habit of applying sunscreen daily. If you have a teenager or just in general like a light, sunscreen with high spf this is one of my top recommendations especially if you don't mind chemical sunscreens. I stopped buying this when I started getting into anti-aging products so opted for spf moisturizers with more anti-aging ingredients and I'm now accustomed to the feel of more natural sunscreens so I don't mind it. But honestly feel wise, I would prefer this as it is a breeze to wear and is excellent for wearing under makeup, it just doesn't have a lot of anti-aging or natural ingredients which is why I stopped purchasing.

This is a great sunblock and I love how high the Spf is, however, it can feel quite heavy and I have had the occasional break out. It does last a long time and a little goes a long way so it's good value for money.

In my opinion Neutrogena has one of the best product ranges ive come across. Their variety in products suite all skin types which is great and are so inexpensive + being able to pick them up literatilly anywhere. This Dry touch Sunblock is yet another great addition to their range.

I managed to pick this beauty up at the local Farmers to try out, The texture is a smooth, velvety feel and applys nicely on skin. It instantly cools and soothes given a nice layer of coverage on your skin. Love the product

This is a great sunscreen which really protects skin from sunlight quite well. My favourite thing about this sunscreen is the fact that it doesn’t feel sticky or heavy on the skin, in fact, it doesn’t even feel like there’s anything on. Yet it protects skin just like any good sunscreen would.

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.
