Neutrogena Sheer Zinc Face Dry-Touch Sunscreen Broad Spectrum SPF 50, 2 Fl. Oz.

Product Information

The only difference I noticed was that polyhydroxystearic acid and glycerin swapped places in these lists. NEUTROGENA® SHEER ZINC® is a mineral sunscreen powered by PURESCREEN® 100% zinc oxide technology; it provides effective broad-spectrum protection, is non-greasy, and dries clear, so can be used under make-up. I'm not using any actives right now, so I suspect it's either that the Olay dupe was causing that texture, or that something in this sunscreen is helping them clear up. Look out for the tick on the EU-Allergen free label to know your cosmetic is free from any of the 26 identified cosmetic ingredients.

If (similar to us) you are in the weird habit of reading the label on your shower gel while taking a shower, you might have noticed that sodium chloride is almost always on the ingredient list.Even though the texture is a bit thick, what matters is that it does the job and strangely enough, because of the thick texture, it actually feels like it's doing something!

I'm not outside that much, but it definitely feels like it protects me all day without having to reapply at lunch or anything. Additionally, products that may contain ingredients that have shown to feed Malassezia may not neccessarily exacerbate the condition due to concentration of ingredient used in the product, this information is simply not available on the products. Purescreen technology helps absorb, reflect and disperse the sun's dangerous rays, while dry-touch technology ensures the sheer sunscreen dries with a non-greasy, lightweight finish. I have Indian skin, so this does leave a somewhat obvious white cast, HOWEVER, this has given me more protection than any sunscreen i have ever used! Anecdotally, many individuals have reported that Silicones cause/excerbate breakouts, irritation, cause a feeling of skin being unable to breathe, cause clumping of cosmetic products and find it difficult to wash off.If you've ever used a skincare, makeup or beauty product that's made your skin look and feel smoother tempoarily - it's likely contained Silicone. Although our warehouse is fully air-conditioned, these more fragile items are put in cold storage (freezer or refrigeration unit) for maximum freshness. Also, works well to fill in fine lines and wrinkles and give skin a plump look (of course that is only temporary, but still, it's nice).

This gentle face sunscreen delivers 2x better UVA protection than the leading mineral sunscreen among mineral sunscreens containing only mineral active ingredients. If you read my review of Aveeno Positively Mineral Sunscreen SPF 50, you may remember that that product is very similar to Neutrogena Sheer Zinc Sunscreen SPF 50, which also makes it similar to the face version I’m reviewing today.If you are concerned about the health safety of parabens, then feel free to avoid them by looking out for the Paraben-Free icon. Giving 5 stars even though this gives you white cast, I have very sensitive skin which easily gets sunburnt even for 30 mins of exposure.

However, the majority of the scientific community have deemed these findings non-conclusive due to the limitations of these studies.

I would like to try the regular non-face version of Neutrogena’s Sheer Zinc sunscreen so I can see how it compares to Aveeno’s.I have to put powder over it to not look like a grease monster, and my face still feels greasy literally all day. According to this resource, in a clinical trial, this sunscreen was more effective at blocking UVA rays than other mineral sunscreens like Blue Lizard SPF 30+, CeraVe SPF 50 Face (active ingredients: 9% titanium dioxide and 7% zinc oxide), and CeraVe SPF 50 (active ingredients: 9% titanium dioxide and 7% zinc oxide).

But I will say that Neutrogena Sheer Zinc Face Sunscreen SPF 50 is a pretty great step in the right direction.
