I've been asked to review Neutrogena's Ultra Sheer Dry-Touch SunScreen Lotion so in this special entry I've given my pros and cons for this product.
The first thing that appealed to me was the packaging, it's simplistic, doesn't SCREAM "sunscreen lotion" and therefore makes it somewhat sophisticated. It's definitely not your run-of-the-mill sunscreen. I noticed that the product appears to have been endorsed by the Skin & Cancer Foundation of Australia which makes me think this product could be more than just "another sunscreen".
Flipping the bottle over I read that the product "provides balanced broad-spectrum UVA/UVB protection against skin aging UVA and burning UVB rays and combines it with Dry Touch technology for a lightweight, non-shiny finish."
Because let's face it, there's nothing worse than going to Ivy or Bondi Beach looking whiter after you've applied your sunscreen.
I read on to see that the product is "4 hours water resistant, Non comedogenic - won't clog pores and is oil free, PABA free"
The product is improving by the second and I haven't even opened the tube yet!
Opening the bottle I'm surprised that Neutrogena hasn't decided to go for a flip top lid option - the lid screws off and in some personal instances I know that lids that completely remove can sometimes be less attractive, simply due to the fact that they can become easily misplaced or buried in the sand.
After removing said lid, I sniff the sunscreen and notice it's not the overpowering sunscreen scent and I'm so pleased. The scent is pleasant and mild - reminding me of mild moisturiser scent.
I squeeze some out and notice the smallest amount goes a very long way it's a very deep white colour and is cool upon application.
Rubbing in the sunscreen I notice it's not greasy, easy to apply and really isn't shiny upon rubbing in. My skin feels smooth and mositurised after application and between the two comparable spots the skin where I haven't applied it's apparent there isn't cream but this isn't a bad thing in my mind.
All in all Neutrogena's Ultra Sheer Dry-Touch SunScreen Lotion receives a 7/10 from me. I'm all for a product that will look after my skin in more ways that one and this product certainly does that.
