Decent facial sunscreen, but not worth the $$

Since Neutrogena's Hydro Boost sunscreen is my Holy Grail facial sunscreen for the summer months, I was super excited to give another Neutrogena facial sunscreen a try! Let me preface this by saying that I have consistently been disappointed by face-specific sunscreen-moisturizer hybrids - they're always far too thick and leave a white residue all over my already far-too-pale face, making me ghost-like. This one was only a slight improvement over my previous experiences. I was able to apply certain types of foundation over top (loose powder primarily, as it didn't seem to interact too badly), but once I started with liquid or mousse foundations, the sunscreen would start to "ball up" and collect all over my face - it was a mess! I think this sunscreen is great when worn alone (i.e. in settings where I wouldn't otherwise wear makeup, like the lake or when going for a hike), but would not recommend it for day to day. All in all, it was a decent enough product but I wouldn't repurchase it at this price point - I'm happy to stick with my tried and tested Hydro Boost!

I #gotitfree to try through ChickAdvisor's Product Review Club.

I like this

Did not leave my skin feeling oily, soaked in nice and fast, and I was able to put makeup on over top and it still looked nice a good many hours later!

made my skin feel soft and smooth

This moisturizer has a nice texture and consistency. It is ultra thick or too watery and applies super easy. It leaves a slight sticky residue on the skin, but helps lock in the moisture from and enhances the efficacy of the previous 3 steps. I like that this last step contains spf, as protection from the sun is an important part of taking care of your skin. I loved the this moisturizer made my skin felt soft and smooth.

Clumpy, sparkly look

I am not a fan for chemical sunscreen to begin with. I followed the instructions to use this as the last step of the regime. However, there is just no way to evenly spread out this cream. It’s thicker than the gel cream in the same line. Upon application, there are these white clumpy residue on the skin, and the skin seems to have this pearly sparkly look which I don’t like... Also, this product line is so highly fragranced and the smell lasts for so long even after washing... just not for me. Not sure if it does what it claims because I haven’t had time to try it out for long enough, got them later than expected due to COVID-19. #gotitfree #NeutrogenaBrightBoost

All around great moisturizer!

I received the Neutrogena Bright Boost moisturizer with soft and was really impressed after trying it! It applies nice and light and absorbs easily! It has a nice soft scent and I love moisturizers that have spf in it to protect from the sun!! Spf is so important in a moisturizer to protect from aging skin! It is so lightweight and is perfect to use before applying makeup! Highly recommmend!

Pleasantly surprised

I’ve been using this product for a few weeks now. It comes in a super small bottle so I thought I would go through it super fast but it has been lasting me forever. It’s a super liquidy consistency so you have to be careful when squeezing the product out of the bottle. A little goes a long way. It did not leave any white cast on my skin and absorbed right in. It has a very mild scent. Applies well under makeup. Would buy again.

Great product!

I love the small bottle it comes in it is perfect for traveling. I also love the smell of this and that it is not greasy on the skin. I don’t typically buy sunscreen for the face but I’m happy I got this because I will be taking this with me to Mexico to protect my face from the sun :)

Great spf to keep the wrinkles away.

I dont wear much make up. So this was great to put on. I feel like I'm protected from the sun with this moisturer. It was a little thinner then I was expecting from a cream. Would of like it to be a bit thicker. It smelt great and went on my skin well. Looking forward to continuing to using this line together.

Neutragena Bright Boost moisturizer

Bright Boost moisturizer has the same crushed pearl look that makes your skin shine. I’m pretty sure the products don’t make your skin health and glow but just adds a shine through the products. We haven’t had much sun here in Winterpeg, Manitoba so I can not comment on how the SPF works. For the most part I use the gel as my moisturizer during winter and will add this SPF moisturizer to my routine once I’m outside more. You only need a small amount. If it works like other SPF moisturizers I’ve used, you will not have a burnt face during summer, during a normal day. Please reapply sunscreen through out the day when out side all day, beach day etc. Feels good on skin, natural and like nothing’s on skin after it’s absorbed.

Love the texture, not the peeling!

I wanted to love this so much! I loved their hydroboost sunscreen and it opened my eyes to non-greasy sunscreens! I love the light smell of it and it dried quick and wasnt greasy... then I rubbed my face. It's hard to describe but it pealed off almost like dried glue into little bally clumps. It was so weird.
