I bought this sunscreen with high hopes. My facialist recommended it because of its light, liquidy consistency. It made my face breakout like crazy! As a sunscreen it did protect my face, but as something I would ever use again, I'm sad to say this product did not work for me. Also the high price for such a small size in comparison to other sunscreens turned me off.

I purchased this product a while back, and used it a total of three times.
Normally, I do not like to apply sun screen on my face because of it's oiliness.
This product did no surprise me in any way. My face completely broke out, and my normally dry, matte skin turned oily on application.

This did work however, in sun protection, so anyone with unsensitive skin is recommended to try it

I received this product to review via Chick Advisor's Product Review Club.

Neutrogena states that this sunscreen is 'water-light' and 'weightless'. While many reviewers here complain about this product being runny, I don't see how a sunscreen could be any richer or thicker and still be very light, so the consistency was not an issue for me. It is easy to apply and absorbs quickly. Yes, it does make skin somewhat white, but only for a minute. My skin felt a bit tingly after application of this sunscreen, but that also only lasted for a minute. I didn't experience any irritation or break-outs.

I have combination skin and I did not feel that this product provided adequate moisture to my dry areas; however it can be applied under moisturizer (many reviewers used it over moisturizer, contrary to the instructions on the package). I had hoped that this product would sufficiently moisturize so that I wouldn't have to use another product over top and add yet another layer with use of foundation. As far as being 'sweatproof', well, that simply was not the case for me. That was my biggest disappointment with this sunscreen.

The paba-free SPF 45 offers excellent sun protection.

Would I buy this product for myself? Not unless it is re-formulated to provide more moisture and at the same time be as sweatproof as possible. Would I recommend it to others? Perhaps to those with oily to normal skin or to people who don't mind having to top this with moisturizer and then, potentially, makeup.

I was fortunate enough to try this as part of the product review club.

I found the formula a little too runny for my liking. I prefer a bit more solid so it goes on a more even application. The scent wasn't overpowering which was nice. The first time I tried this I was going to the beach so I didn't put foundation or face powder over top. Without makeup over top it left a bit of a slight white tinge to my face. About after an hour of being in the sun my t-zone started to get really oily.

When I wore it with powder the next day I didn't have the same issue with an oily t-zone. My makeup went on smooth over top and it felt effective as a sunscreen. I wish it had more moisture to it because it did make my skin feel a little dry.

It's a bit pricey for the size of the product you receive, probably not something I would continue to purchase to use on a daily basis.

Upon receiving this product, I tried it right away!

I always use a sunscreen on top of my moisturizer. The texture is creamy, a bit watery, light, faint smell, not greasy. It felt very light on my face, but even if it's not greasy, I still felt that the product was a bit sticky on my combination skin. I like the fact that it's spf 45. I have sensitive skin, so this product didn't break me out! I had no problem putting my makeup afterward...just remember to let the sunscreen penetrate for a few minutes before. Don't forget to powder it if you have combination or oily skin because you will see the oiliness after 1hour.
The packaging is cheap, but couldn't complain for the price we're paying, Plus the bottle is small, so you can bring it anywhere.

So in all, great product since I didn't breakout, portable, spf 45, light, but your skin can get greasy after using it.

Nope don't like it - too runny - prefer the face shield cream.

Before testing the sunscreen I walked up to my local cosmetic advisor at Shoppers Drug Mart - gave the bottle a shake and said to her "so this is liquid? How do they expect us to put it on our face? ".

I've tried it and found that the sunscreen does definately work but too runny to be accurate when putting on your face. I prefer a cream that's more solid.

Plus very expensive for such a little bottle.

It does do what it says it does - so at least I can confrim that. Would not reccomend it.

I'm not a huge fan of this product, and the funny thing is, before I tried it, I thought I would love it! I like the fact that it's less greasy- that's a huge plus, but really the only plus for me when it comes to this product. I didn't like the smell, and found it to have a very strong chemical smell that takes a while to go away. They have attempted to cover the chemical odor with a fairly strong perfume, and the two smells do not work well together. I felt a slight burning on my skin when I applied it. I wanted to love it, but I think I'll have to pass on this one!

I guess I'm one of the few that isnt sold on this product. Yes, at SPF 45 it is a very effective sun protection and the fragrance is much better than most sunblocks.....but I found it aborbed so quickly that it took quite abit to cover my face and neck properly. With such a small bottle I would be going through many bottles each season. Not economical for me. If it was half the price or twice the size for the same price then I would concider purchasing.

I havent had previous problems breaking out with facial sunscreen and this product follows suit. Same with never found a film or greasy issue under makeup - so no new benefit here.
I can name another product I prefer over this but since we're just reviewing Neutrogena, cant say ;)
