I have been applying the Ultra Sheer Dry Touch SPF 55 on my face for the last few days and can say I really like it. I have very very sensitive skin that gets puffy and red with even little sun exposure. For many years I used a Cetaphil Face lotion with SPF 15 and in the last few months switched to the Neutrogena face lotion with SPF 35 and decided to pick this up for my body. Ran out of my SPF 35 and picked this up and been using it and feel as if this product has shrunk my pours and helps with puffiness and redness on my face and ears when applied liberally. For me to it does seem to “whiten/lighten” skin but I actually find this favorable. It also gives me a glow and leaves skin looking smooth and cared for even when I rinse it off with a cleanser. I think this is a great product and sorry that many people experienced as I did not!

I'm not sure what is meant by "sheer", but i guess "dry touch" means this stuff leaves a white, chalky powder on your skin. i can't stand it. i gave it two stars because itdoes prevent sunburn. i have been looking for an everyday sunscreen that it is not noticeable and doesn't smell like the beach that a man like me can wear to work. i have tried many prducts with no luck.

I've been using this product for a month now, and love the non-greasy finish. very easy applying and does not irritate much. I said "much" cause it makes my face burn a little when i use it after swimming with a wet face. So, dry out before using it. And never use it around the eye corners, burns after about an hour till you wash it with a cleanser.

When I first put it on, I loved it. No sunscreen odor, no greasy feel, rubbed right in. I thought I finally found the perfect sunscreen. An hour later somebody told me I looked red all over and asked if I felt OK. Next day (even after a shower), my arms had tiny bumps all over them, and started to flake extremely. Have tried it several more times, several days apart, and each time I got massive flaking and peeling, like other reviewers experienced. Maybe I'm allergic to it, because my husband uses it and has no problems with it. Also, the SPF 55 product did not prevent me from burning on a very sunny day. Usually any brand with SPF 25 or more will totally prevent burning on my fair skin, but I got a bright red burn with the Neutrogena Dry Touch 55, and I did not go in the water or get sweaty, so I know it did not wash off. I really wanted to like this product, but won't apply it again.

I bought this for a trip to Mexico, as I have very sensitive skin and was looking for the purest product. I applied this all over my body and face, and ended up with small tiny red bumps all over, like tiny hives. I was so itchy all week and only by the end of the trip did I realize it was this product. The rash dried out and flaked off two weeks later which was totally gross. I will need to find a new natural sun lotion.... DEFINITELY allergic to this product.

I have used Neutrogena's Ultra Sheer Dry-Touch SPF 45 sunblock for years and had great results. That product is hard to find now, so I tried the SPF 55 instead. Despite the packaging's claims that it disappears quickly, it leaves a greasy white film that remains for hours. That film is like an oily titanium dixide film, or white lithium grease. It doesn't go away and remains sticky, so that dirt and even small insects are trapped in the film. Awful. I also found that I'm strongly allergic to something in its ingredient list. My skin turned red and flakey, much like a sunburn where I had applied the sunblock. This might be the oxybenzone that other people have complained about (it is 6% of the ingredients). I understand that most people won't have this strong allergic reaction, but be careful and try it on a small area of skin first. I wonder how much testing Neutrogena did on this product before releasing it to market.

I do not have sensative face skin at all. I used this once before and then used it again, and remembered a year later having different tube because my husband loves it. I broke out so bad, both times, mostly around my nose, lips, chin and some on the cheeks. It's not a normal breakout, it's tiny water pop easy zits that creates a scab. It takes at least a week or so to clear. I am NOT acne prone ever until using this. Thanks for listening. There must be an ingredient that doesn't like my face.

I am Korean and I have used A LOT of Korean beauty store's sunscreen. As we all know we, Koreans, have pretty cheap but high quality beauty products. When I came to America, the first beauty item I got was this sunscreen and it was great for my oily and sensitive skin. There was no significant quality difference between Korean sunscreens, some high end ones, and this Neutrogena one. I have acne-pron skin and got some laser treatments past few weeks so basically my skin is as sensitive as it is right now. However this sunscreen does not irritate my skin at all. I do have a question on the PA part of the sunscreen. Is it PA+++? Because it all comes down to PA when talking about protection from the sun...

Works very well against burning. Lightweight and non greasy. Perfect combo

It created a white cast on my skin. It also smeared my clothing and caused the breakout.
