Well you didn't finish your sentence so I wanted to know if they looked kind of bad or what? I've always read good reviews about Neutrogena sunblocks.

I never tried the Aveeno sunblock. So Sexy what is the spf that you use and does it leave a clear finish? Thanks

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.

Golden I use spf 70, I have oily skin and this works so well. I don't even wear makeup when I apply this unless I'm going somewhere and just want to. But just around town the sunscreen alone gives me a great finish.

Golden It has exactly the same Active ingredients that my Ultra Sheer Dry-Touch sunblock has that I use on my body. The Aveeno is just for the face and it is oil free.

Does the finish last all day or does your skin go back to looking oily again?

[QUOTE=nikkicute;2325069]Does the finish last all day or does your skin go back to looking oily again?[/QUOT

I have to say it lasts hours, meaning I'm the type of person that when I get inside my home I wash my face just to feel fresh. But just being out while I am, perfect finish. I look in my mirror a lot while driving because of having oily skin I try to make sure it's not oily prior to getting out my car. But with the sunblock for the times when I am out I'm not applying anything or having to dab away excess oil. Maybe Saturday when I have nothing to do I'll apply it to my face and give you a update on if it lasted all day.

Thanks! At least 8 hours I guess.
I know about washing the face to get that feeling, it's refreshing!:D
I have combination skin, t-zone is oily and I have used moisturizers with great finish couple hours later I look :eek: What the heck? When did this happen? Ewwww Face all shiny, greazy looking ugh!

Haven't used a moisturizer since!

See the same with me and Moisturizing, I know we need to but it gives me the shiney look that I can not stand.

I was just about to post the same thing, we do need to moisturize!
But I don't want one that is going to leave me oily looking, I have tried a gel moisturizer but it was a bit sticky and didn't leave a matte finish like I was hoping for.

Oh well... the search continues.

so sexy · Apr 22, 2010, 07:11 PM

I've used Mary Kay, I have a night cream I need to see if it is a moisturize, that would be good, because I would be sleeping so I wouldn't really care about the shine.

Dizzellz112 · Apr 27, 2010, 05:32 AM

Does anyone know where I'll be able to get hold of the Neutrogena sunscreen... I'v tried boots and superdrug... they sell most sunscreens except for Neutrogena... :S
Would I be able to get hold of it in the uk... from a shop?

MAHARANI · Apr 27, 2010, 12:55 PM

I had to buy mine from a US eBay seller. Could not find it in the UK either.

This is so annoying! I'm never able to find anything here in France either! I always need to order from the us and the shipping is pricey and what makes it worse is that it takes like2 weeks to arrive here :eek:
Do you think I could buy a simple nivea sunscreen instead of this one?
Mine is Laroche-posay and it has this a little grey appearance which I hate :mad:
Thanks.

I just purchased it in SPF 100,
Yay!!

Dizzellz112 · Apr 28, 2010, 02:10 PM

Hey did you buy it from an actual shop?

The best sunblock in my opinion come out of Japan. Unlike the rest of the world, Japan does not have a lot of stigma assoc. with whitening within their own communities, and hence a lot of research. I have used the Shesiedo brand from an eBay seller. It goes on smooth - no oiliness and blocks deeper tan on the brightest sunny days.

In general the rule of thumb is to look for pa+++ with the spf in the block value. Higher the # of pluses, the higher the strength of the block

Goodluck!

wannabscarfree · Apr 28, 2010, 02:59 PM

Just to add, most American brands WILL NOT prevent the tanning. The goal for more Caucasian Americans, towards whom the products are targeted are actually aiming for safe TANNING products. I can testify to years of usage of high spf, they help only so much. And only a few weeks now of using a Japanese brand for the first time, that I am seeing results. There are also a couple of French products but a Google search should help you.

imgorgeous · Apr 29, 2010, 02:20 AM

Wannabescarfree- I think I agree with you, I have tried absolutely all types of sunscreen. AMerican, British, and Swiss. They don't seem to stop me from tanning .

Perhaps I need to try the Japanese one too. Is it expensive ?
