    A sunscreen I can use

    Now let me start by saying I am SUUUPER sensitive to certain sunscreens. A cheap sunscreen will cause my face and body to break out in a fairly long lasting rash. I tried this sunscreen and it actually didn’t cause any adverse reactions to my skin which was a great relief. When applying I expected it to be more of a “gel” as it states, but to my surprise it ended up being more like a light moisturizer consistency without the greasy texture after. Also a bonus was it didn’t stink like sunscreen usually does. Sensitive skin win!

    Great sunscreen

    This is a fantastic sunscreen. I found it didn't leave my skin feeling oily at all. The gel sunk into my skin nicely. I didn't mind the scent of the product either as it wasn't overpowering.

    Love the texture

    I was chosen to try neutrogena water gel sunscreen and I really liked this product. I really liked that it was moisturizing while keeping my skin protected from the sun. It's not oily, it doesn't leave white streaks on my skin and it was quickly absorbed into skin. I like the light scent as well. I would purchase this sunscreen for sure.

    Like the product - not the dye

    I liked this sunscreen and I felt like it worked well under my makeup and was moisturizing. Unfortunately, it did break me out a little. I also wasn't crazy about the blue dye- why add dye?

    Smooth and not greasy

    Not a fan of most sunscreens. They go on too thick, white, and greasy! Even the spray on applications are questionable - too thin, hard to tell where you’ve applied (and does it even stay on?!) Neutrogena Hudro Boost Water Gel Sunscreen SPF 50 goes on so smooth! It’s not terribly thick, like most other brands, yet not so thin that it runs off and is hard to apply. The application is so smooth and absorbs in quickly without the greasy feeling or white residue typical of sunscreen. Even the kids don’t mind having it applied! It’s amazing that it can have such a high SPF without turning your skin ghostly white. I will definitely be using this to protect the kids from the hot sun this summer.

    I was given this product complementary for my review. All opinions are my own.

    Great sunscreen

    I received this free through the ChickAdvisor review program. I was super impressed but this sunscreen. It’s very lightweight, while still having a high SPF. It does a great job of protecting your skin from the sun while also hydrating your skin, which is a great addition.

    Pleasant

    Scent: it's pleasant, but I generally prefer non scented lotions and sunscreens if I am putting them on my face, therefore I used this sunscreen on my body only.
    Longevity: it lasted all day on me, I did not get burned at all!
    Waterproof effectiveness: it was sweat proof, but I haven't had a chance to go in the water yet, it's still too cold to go to the beach
    Consistency: I liked the gel formula as opposed to a cream based sunscreen. Seemed to do the same thing
    SPF: I appreciate that it wasn't a super low SPF, I burn/ freckle easily and I like going with a higher SPF

    Un bon écran soleil

    Quand j'utilise un écran soleil je souhaite quil hydrate ma peau et qu'il la protège ce que ce produit fait mais sans plus. Je serais intéressée à essayer ce produit avec un fps plus élevé car je brûlé même avec de la crème solaire.

    Greasier than expected

    My go to sunscreen for the last couple years has been the ultra sheer dry touch sunscreen from Neutrogena. I was really hopeful that this version would be as good. While it did absorb, I still felt like it left a greasy residue/shine. I had to use pressed powder on my face to get rid of the sheen. I’d recommend this for body, but not face.
