Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Dry: Touch Sunblock with Helioplex, SPF 55 Review

Imagine yourself looking as fresh as a daisy after a full day of running around town under the sun. Imagine yourself looking fresh, cool and clean. Now stop imagining. This can be your reality. All with the help of Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Dry-Touch Sunblock with Helioplex, SPF 55.

The Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Dry-Touch Sunblock contains Helioplex, a patented UVA-ray blocker which penetrates deep under the skin's surface, capable of giving you more protection especially when exposed to UV rays. The Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Dry-Touch Sunblock with Helioplex, SPF 55 blocks more UVA rays than the leading sunscreens available in the U.S. today.

Neutrogena's Dry Touch technology utilizes micronized silica powder. This absorbs excess sunscreen oils leaving you with a clean, lightweight, non-shiny finish on your body. So it leaves your skin feeling incredibly soft--never greasy or shiny. It is non-comedogenic (meaning it won't clog your pores), which is a blessing because most high SPF sunblocks are ultra-comedogenic, which leave you burn free but pimple-filled. The Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Dry-Touch Sunblock with Helioplex, SPF 55 is waterproof thus it can be used at the beach, by the pool and for water sports. It is also sweat proof, making it perfect for beach volleyball, soccer and outdoor sports.

Dermatologists love recommending Neutrogena's Ultra Sheer Sunblock because it is also allergen free. It can be used by patients with photosensitive or allergy-prone skin. My skin is very fair and extremely sensitive to sun exposure. I can't go out in sun for more than half an hour. Immediately my skin starts getting irritated, red and itchy. I do not even have to go under the sun to need sunscreen because as my skin is photosensitive (because of my eczema, AHA peels, etc), my pigmentations and scars darken from minimal light exposure. Meaning I need sunscreen even when working in front of a computer!

Needless to say, sunscreen is as much a part of my regimen as soap and water. I used to hate having to use sunblock because of its oily consistency making it impossible to put it under my make-up. I apply the Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Dry-Touch Sunblock with Helioplex, SPF 55 on my face, hands and feet every morning. Now, no one can tell I have sunblock under my make-up. I love the Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Dry-Touch Sunblock with Helioplex, SPF 55's matte and flawless finish. I also do not hesitate to apply the Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Dry-Touch Sunblock with Helioplex, SPF 55 liberally because it is so cheap! Unlike other designer sunblocks, which are the only alternative to the Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Dry-Touch Sunblock with Helioplex, SPF 55, the latter provides the protection, consistency and efficacy I need from a sunblock.
