    Is Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Dry Touch Sunblock the best sunblock
    Are there any sunblocks that block majority of the UVA/UVB rays and radiation from the sun? Zinc oxide/titanium oxide and avobenzone help protect against UVB rays...
    But which sunblock is the most effective...

    I always read Neutrogena having some of the best sunblocks around!
    Ultra Sheer Dry Touch sounds like it goes on clear without that white overcast and made for a more oily complexion.

    I have been using the Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Dry Touch sunblock with spf 55 up to the spf 55 (the go up to spf 100) going on almost 2 years now. The reason why I find it among the best is because it contains helioplex which protects against the UVA/UVB rays, no chalky greyish appearance, and helps really prevent tanning or at the least maintina your results as you are lightening.

    Although it does go on white and not clear, as you massage it into your skin the white color vanishes quickly, it also blends quite easily. A few other factors which pushes it's rating up is because it's nicely priced, really effective, you can get it almost anywhere. There are a few other really nice sunblocks you can also consider.

    Where does it say it's not recommended for the face?
    I thought the Dry Touch was for oily complexions.

    Hmmm I think they are stating that the SPF 55 version is not ideal for the face but I'm not sure, that is a small tube to be using on the body, you'll run out quick! I would have to get my hands on it and read the directions but I still think it's OK for facial use.

    I will have to disagree. I did read the information on the consumer products review link provided when they had stated "Not ideal for facial use" and also read their "Analysis", but they failed to explain why they believe that the Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Dry Touch Sunblock spf 55 with helioplex is not ideal for facial use, nor explained this in their analysis.

    Unless they are referring to their analysis of the spf 55 being "Heavier than lower-SPF formulations". Though, I refuse to use any sunblock less than SPF 55 and have used higher spf concentration. Which makes sense since the higher the concentration, the possibility that it's not going to feel as light-weight as an spf 15 or 30. I have been using this Neutrogena sunblock (including the spf 70 and spf 85) for close to 2 years now and this is the only sunblock I have used during this time. Before then, I have used cheaper sunblocks that were chalky, really thick, that never absorbed in my skin but rather sat on the surface, and made my face appear grey all day. Personally speaking, I have sensitive skin that is acne-prone and oily, but this has never made my skin to break out with zits nor clogged my pores.

    I am holding my spf 55 right now in my hand so I'll type what they state on their label:

    On the front states the following:
    "with helioplex broad spectrum uva.uvb"
    "Weightless Clean Feel"
    "fast absorbing"
    "leaves skin soft and smooth"
    "waterproof"
    "#1 Dermatologist recommended suncare"


    On the back, it's quite lengthy, so I'll quote the sentences I consider hold importance. It states the following:
    "Dry Touch technology for an ultra-light, non-shiny finish. This lightweight sunblock has a light fresh scent and is gentle enough for even sensitive skin.
    *Water proof, sweatproof, resists rub-off
    * Non-cogmedogenic (won't clog pores)
    *Oil free and PABA free"

    "Directions: Apply liberally on face and body 15-30 minutes before sun exposure. For added protection, reapply after swimming, towel drying or extended sun exposure."

    "Discontinue use if signs of irritation or rash appear."

    In general this is an ideal sunblock to use for the face and body, doesn't clog, works for my sensitive skin, never gave me zits, and contains no oil. Actually, for the body I use their Ultra Sheer Body Mist sunblock because it's easier to use for whole body use. For me this never clogged my pores nor caused zits. But, if a person isn't washing their face in the evening to remove any dirt, oil, makeup, cremes, lotion, product applications such as sunblock.. then of course your skin is going to have layered dirt and old product buildup from not removing it in the evening and this can cause zits. It already advises that if you experience any rash or irritation, discontinue from using it. But, it's cheaper than several other really good sunblock brands, it prevents me from getting darker, helps me with my lightening regimen so I continue to see results, it's light, it absorbs to transparent so it's not apparent when I'm wearing it, and you can get it practically anywhere.


    OK, I think I just had written a detailed review for this sunblock :p, But if this one is giving you irritation, discontinue use and switch to another that you fins as more effective for your skin. Otherwise, it's cool.

    Hey I'm currently using nivea sun moisturising sun lotion spf 50+... bought it like 2 yrs ago.. but it has a 12 m sign on it... so would it be still effective if I stored it in the fridge..
    I'm going to buy Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Dry Touch from now on. The problem with nivea is... it's pasty so takes quite a well to rub in... other than that it's a good sunblock.
