Neutrogena Clear Face Liquid Lotion Sunscreen

I was looking yet again for a facial sunscreen for summer to use under makeup. I'm not very faithful about using sunscreen. I know I should be, yet living up north and being one who stays indoors a lot, I don't worry about it like I should. But when summer comes, I try to wear one most days. But I hate the way they feel, and every year I am on the hunt for one that is not greasy or heavy, won't cause breakouts, and works well under makeup. And is not expensive, to boot. That seems to be a really hard combination to find. The Neutrogena Ultra Sheer is sort of close, but I still find it feels to greasy and heavy on my skin. I gave this one a try this year, and I really like it. As I apply it, I feel like oh no, this is going to be greasy and heavy, too. But no, as soon as I am done applying, it disappears. I really don't feel it on my skin after that. It doesn't leave a white cast once it is applied, and it works well under my makeup. It seems to offer great sun protection. I am very fair and burn easily and I have had no problems. It is a generously sized tube for the price. I use it on my neck and chest, as well. I have had no problem with my eyes stinging as I use it under them. Of course, I am careful not to get it my eyes. No new pimples since using it, no rashes or other irritation either. I think it's a good product, and I recommend it.

I use this product mainly on my arms, legs, and body for activities in the sun. It works well and affords about as much protection as one may expect from a sunscreen. I work horseback in the sun, and find Neutrogena products superior to other brands I have used. It should be reapplied occasionally for full protection - how often depends on the activity, intensity of sunlight, and how much perspiration or water is involved in the activity. The lotion should be used in adequate amounts. it goes on smoothly and comfortably and is not greasy, though any - and I mean ANY - sunscreen will affect clothing if it comes in contact with clothes regularly. For my face I use Neutrogena Sport face, which is thicker and lasts a bit longer. The Sport Face has a higher SPF, but I don't believe there is much difference in protection above 55. NOTE: No sunscreen will replace proper sun clothing, such as long sleeves and a brimmed hat. These are not always practical for me (for example, I wear a riding helmet), so the sunscreen is essential. Remember that a baseball cap does not protect your neck, most of your face, or your ears. Also, reflected sunlight can be as damaging as direct sun, so I wear sunscreen whenever I'm outdoors for more than a few minutes.

I tried this since it is new and claims to be matte. For the past three years, I have been very loyal to the Ultra Sheer Liquid SPF 70 formula (US), which I love bc I think it really disappears into the skin and leaves no shine on the surface (perfect under make-up, too). You should see my review of the Ultra Sheer -- I should be a freaking spokes person, I think it's so great... Having said that, I find Clear Face (CF) to be JUST AS GOOD. I will write a breakdown of the products in an easy-to-read form: - Liquid light texture: BOTH feel liquid light on the skin and disappear completely, leaving no shiny residue. Both are easy to wear under make-up, however I find the CF rolls-up into those pesky balls when you rub it in a lot. This doesn't happen to me every time, so I'm thinking it may be when I layer too many serums and lotions underneath. When I use CF on its own, this doesn't happen. So, it may be the layering or the serums themselves that are the problem. This has never been a problem with US. Note, CF feels a tad thicker in the hand, but disappears just as finely as the US liquid. - Finish: BOTH are completely matte. I wear sunscreen every day, like a good girl (!!!), and I wear both under make-up and alone with ZERO grease problems. I have combination skin, but I think all skin types would like this "next to nothing" look. - Reactions: I don't have very sensitive skin, but it does easily dry-out if I use acne products on a pimple I get every now and then. Both CF and US are chemical sunscreens. That doesn't bother me, but I know some people can't tolerate that. If that's an issue for you, try the Pure&Free versions (very good physical sunscreens, but they leave a slight white cast). - Price: These are about the same price, but the CF is 3 oz. while the US is 1.4 oz. To be honest, I'm not sure why they launched CF when it is a dupe (albeit more affordable) version of US. I think that with the new FDA regulations that came out (e.g. can't claim to be more than 50+ SPF, can't be called sunblock, etc.), Neutrogena might be phasing out the US in favor the new CF? The ingredients lists are very similar, with the major ingredients being nearly identical. It's a bit confusing to me from a consumer/marketing perspective. Hope this is useful.

If you have a medium to darker complexion it does have a white cast to it. I myself am.medium tone and the white cast did go away after it absorbed, about 10 minutes, and left skin feeling nice and matte. Not greasy at all, worked well under my liquid maybelline fit me foundation

Great sunscreen for my face, which tends to be on the oily side. In the past it has been difficult for me to find sunscreens that will work well for my face without being oily, nor leaving whiteness (as is the case with zinc oxide). I was very pleased to see that this sunscreen, however, worked perfectly for me. It is not greasy in any manner whatsoever, and rubs in beautifully with no remaining whiteness. While using this, my face has not become red in the least bit. I will have to use this for a longer period of time, however, to confirm that for sure. Finally, I really like how this is unscented, as using scented sunscreen for my face would be too overpowering.

I have the worst face skin. It's oily, red, full of filaments and small pimples. As soon as the sun hits my face, I turn into a crab, a painful one. I'm also a guy, if that's relevant. This cream has been better for me than any other cream in my 20+ years of life so far. It doesn't clog any pores, it's easy too remove if your want to, with water and a bit of soap, its doesn't smell, and it has NO ALCOHOL so it doesn't dry your skin. I live in Europe and this is the second batch I buy of it. And no, even though you shouldn't use sun screen that's older than some months... I can guarantee that after more than one year it still is very effective at blocking the sun. My face can feel a huge difference at the end of the day compared to not using any cream. I'm pretty sure it also has some kind of moisturizing effect, because for a few hours after I apply it, if I stay kiiinda protected from the sun, my face feels much lighter and radiant.

Dark skin friendly, quindi non fa effetto pallido vampiro. Forse con il sudore la pelle sembra un po' unta ma con gli ottimi risultati riscontrati va bene così. Con il tempo contrasta anche la formazione di macchie da acne e discromie.

Textura acuosa, no deja rastros blancos en el rostro. Desde que lo uso siento que mi piel ha mejorado muchísimo. 100% recomendado.

1- has a white cast which sucks on darker skin 2- feels greasy and generally tacky 3- feels SO heavy on my skin other than that it does its job for a good price and there's a great amount of product in it.

Deja la piel tersa e hidratada, pero sin sensación ni apariencia grasosa, su efecto dura unas tres horas, luego hay que ponerse de nuevo.
