It has almost everything I look for in a sunscreen - easy to apply, easy to mattify, smells great - it’s just very shiny.

It’s never fully absorbed into the skin, it just sits there and reminds you of all of your failures, all of your mistakes…how rude.

On paper it has all the right things going for it: not shiny, not heavy, dries down fast, yadda yadda. But recently I have upgraded by skin care to incorporate anti ageing products and was trying to protect myself from UV. After about a week of using this product, I realized that it was THIS Neutrogena sunscreen product that was burning my skin, NOT the sun.

The only good thing I can say about this sunscreen is that my makeup didn’t shift, pill, or rub off when I wore makeup over it.

Since using this sunscreen, my face has gone through a rebellion, breaking out in places I normally never have acne. This dermatologist-tested formula uses Avobenzone to provide advanced protection against damaging UVA and UVB rays, along with Dry-Touch technology for an ultra-light, non-shiny finish.Methylisothiazolinone: is a preservative that can cause allergic reactions and in high doses, can lead to toxicity. I was outdoors for maybe 2 hours in the afternoon each day that I used the sunscreen, but by the third day, the skin on my arms became quite blotchy with large dark red and dark brown patches, each about half an inch or so in diameter. For Prevention of Sunburn "I used Neutrogena sport face SPF 70 on my face 1 day and did not expose myself to more than 1 hour of sun light.
