Top Sunscreens: Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Dry-Touch Sunblock SPF 55 Product Review

I love the great outdoors. Tennis, horseback riding, swimming or just walking around, I crave the fresh air and sunshine. As a skin cancer survivor, I am very conscientious of protecting myself with hat and a good sunscreen. Neutrogena claims to be the number 1 dermatologist recommended suncare. What matters most to me is that my own dermatologist recommends Neutrogena because it has "helioplex" broad-spectrum uva-uvb protection. I don't have to understand how helioplex works. I just trust that my dermatologist believes the helioplex is vital for the sunscreen to keep working.

Neutrogena has a many suncare products to choose from. The latest I tried is Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Dry-Touch Sunblock. It has helioplex broad-spectrum uva-uvb protection with an SPF of 55.

What does Neutrogena have to say about Ultra Sheer Dry-Touch Sunblock?

The 3.0 FL OZ. tube claims a" ultra light clean feel" that is "non-greasy" and "leaves skin soft and smooth."

The Neutrogena package also claims this product is:

• Gentle enough for sensitive skin

What are my first impressions of New Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Dry-Touch Sunblock?

This sunscreen comes out as a medium to thick lotion. It really is super quickly absorbed by my skin. It is not greasy at all, which is one of my biggest complaints about sunscreens. My skin doesn't feel sticky either. This sunscreen really does leave my skin super soft and hydrated.

Here's one important thing to keep in mind when applying New Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Dry-Touch Sunblock.

One thing that I had to get used to is really paying attention to where I am applying the sunscreen in a rather methodical way. Because it is so quickly absorbed by the skin, you want have those telltale streaks of lotion to see where you've applied for very long.

What about the scent of New Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Dry-Touch Sunblock?

Although the last inactive ingredient in this sunscreen in fragrance, I don't think this sunscreen has much of a fragrance at all. If I smell the product directly it has a clean, almost soapy smell, but once applied to my skin the scent doesn't stay around or compete other fragrances.

How does New Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Dry-Touch Sunblock compare as a sunblock?

I've been very pleased with the sun protection of Neutrogena Ultra Sheer. Following the directions, I apply at least 15 minutes before going out into the sun and I reapply about every hour and a half. I've had absolutely no sunburn, pain or pinking.

New Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Dry-Touch Sunblock is a favorite sunscreen of this outdoor enthusiasts and skin cancer survivor. I give this Neutrogena sunscreen five stars for both application and function.
