Neutrogena Sheer Zinc Oxide Dry-Touch Sunscreen Lotion with Broad Spectrum SPF 50, Water-Resistant, Hypoallergenic & Non-Greasy Mineral Sunscreen, 3 fl. oz

I used this product on a regular basis under my makeup. This way I know I have the protection from the sun on my face.

Works well, but just leave a little white tint on your eyebrows if you have darker hair color. Overall works really well, especially for those who golf or be in the sun most of the day.

After many years of successfully using "regular" sunscreens, they began to irritate my skin. My dermatologist recommended trying this product. I don't care for the feel of it on my skin, but have gotten used to it. The irritation problem has been solved, so I am a happy camper, overall. If irritation is a problem, give this a try.

Makes your skin look flawless especially under foundation. Highly recommend for the face

I have very fair, sensitive skin. I burn in 10 minutes. We went on vacation to the beach and I was concerned about getting sunburned. Though I have used Neutrogena sunscreen around the house I had never tried the zinc oxide. This sunscreen worked fantastic! We generously applied the zinc oxide sunscreen and were able to stay outside in the sun, around the pool and the ocean for 12 hours. It made all the difference in us being able to enjoy being outside, the sun and water. It takes a bit of effort to wash off in the shower but worth the effort.

Being zinc based, this sunscreen is seemingly very effective, but it does form a while barrier on your skin. So while it protects you, it makes you look like your face was painted white. And washing it off is a chore. I find that after using it for a long motorcycle ride, I wash my face at least three times in the shower to remove the white zinc. I would not use this for daily use unless I was a lifeguard or something similar, but for those times you want maximum protection against sun damage, this seems to be the answer.

My dermatologist recommended this since I spend quite a bit of time outdoors in all seasons. When I'm hiking or kayaking I apply a thin film on my face and neck to protect with high spf. It's not greasy and dries in about 5 minutes. When I'm running errands, it goes on under my makeup (after a 5 minute coffee break to let it dry thoroughly) and my protection lasts for several hours. Only need a small amount to get full coverage and the drying step helps keep your foundation on all day.

This did exactly what I needed it to do, protect an area on my face from sun exposure. The problem was that it was also visible since I had to keep it thick over the area. I did not try to blend it in, I needed to make sure that it covered the area but I walked around with a white spot on my face. The protection was priority over vanity. It may be equally effective blending it in, but I couldn't risk it.

I ordered it as I read its mineral based . But unfortunately the product is disgustingly smelly. I have been using neutrogena products for years now. And this is so far the worst. Waste of money. I have to just throw it.
