Sunscreen Reviews

Just before Christmas some of our Reader Review Panel told you what they thought about Neutrogena's Ultra Sheer Dry Touch Sunscreen ($17.95). And here's some more feedback on the sunscreen that's lightweight and perfect for Summer!

"Firstly, I must say the first time I tried Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Dry Touch Sunscreen I said "wow" out loud. It really does feel dry, it takes just a few moments to absorb and my skin was left without any greasy residue I would normally expect to feel with regular sunscreen. This feels great on my skin has a pleasant smell. I'm giving it a definite thumbs up. I must admit I have not used sunscreen as much as I should because of the greasy residue but I have been regularly applying the Ultra Sheer. My skin thanks you."

We asked some fine and upstanding members of society (aka our Reader Review Panel) to trial Neutrogena's Ultra Sheer Dry Touch Sunscreen ($17.99) for us. Here's what they thought of the lightweight SPF 30+ . . .

"I cannot put into words how much I love Neutrogena's range of sunscreens. As a pale person with oily/combination skin, sunscreen is a must but a huge problem in terms of greasiness. This one has a powder-dry type finish that leaves my skin looking matte. It doesn't weigh down my skin, and doesn't have an irritating smell. It spreads onto skin easily and goes on evenly, leaving my skin feeling soft. Because it's sheer and has a matte finish I found it works it really well as a primer on days when I'm out and about and need that protection. Now I can use a highlighter in summer without worrying!"

Yummii had this to say:

"This sunscreen was everything I expected it to be! It has a light weight feel, absorbed into my skin super fast and does not make me break out. Perfect for oily skin as it does not leave a greasy feeling, but rather leaves it looking matte and smooth. All this in a handy bottle makes it perfect for throwing it into my handbag. I will definitely be recommending this to my friends."

With swimsuit season under way and beach bodies on our mind, everyone at Sugar HQ has stepped up the exercise. Same with you guys? Thought as much. Which is why we need a sunscreen that not only offers SPF 30+coverage and has a lightweight feel, but one that's sweat-resistant and long-lasting. The new Ultimate Sport Sunscreen Spray ($17.99) from Neutrogena — which is also available in a face and body lotion — sounded like it fitted the bill. So we asked the Reader Review Panel to put it through its paces (literally) and let us know their thoughts. Here's what they said:

Clarkey said:

"This was a great sports sunscreen which comes in a handy spray bottle. I left it in my gym bag all week and relied on it for sunny days. While it was easy to spray, I did find the texture a little tool shiny for my liking. Having said that, it offered great protection when I was working up a sweat outdoors. I’ll definitely be using this again."

Fountainrose81 had this to say:

"The Neutrogena Sport spray is a handy keep-in-your-car sunscreen which has been a lifesaver in scorching hot Sydney weather. I love the ease and convenience of simply spraying on a layer of protection and not having to worry about greasy hands filled with cream. Although I’ll be spraying up a storm with it come Summer holidays, I do wish the scent was a little more neutral and not so masculine."
