Review on Neutrogena Dry Touch Sunscreen: Non-Comedogenic & Non-Greasy Protection by Jesse Nguyen

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Not transparent or dry

Not exactly what I was looking for. Since this is a face product I figured I could wear it every day and under makeup. It's too thick and oily for that. Not what I would call a "dry touch". However, I use it every day because I hate wasting it and I get out in the sun a lot. It forms such a barrier that it seals everything inside and out, leading to pimples and dry patches. It takes some effort to take it off when you're done with it, and leaving it on, say, overnight is a bad idea. If you need sun protection for the occasional long outdoor activity, this may be for you. It's just not for everyday use if you have dry, sensitive, or acne-prone skin. The word "transparent" in the title is also misleading. It doesn't look any clearer than other non-nanoparticle sunscreens I've tried. I even did a little test to compare it to the ones I have on hand and it turns out they all look the same. except balsam badger. The badger balm I threw away to try this gave me less of a break. I used the tinted version, so although you could see it, it looked like makeup on my fair skin, which was at least nicer than the ghostly white and wax. Unfortunately, everything else I've tried (Neutrogena Pure & Free Baby, Honest Company, Babyganics, Hang Ten Kids Mineral) was about equally occlusive and white. Overall, this sunscreen is ok, but I'm deducting a star because it doesn't live up to its name.
