Very strong
I jus feel like this sunscreen is very strong if you have sensitive skin, it’s takes a lot of time on skin to fry up and irritates the eyes as well. I’m someone who uses mineral sunscreen I think I would not purchase because of half of the ingredients or buy jus any sunscreen. Sorry not sorry neutrogena.
Convenient but too strong of a scent
I received the NEUTROGENA Ultra Sheer Face Mist Sunscreen as a sample for my honest review. I was really excited to get a mist so that I could just spray directly onto my face. Especially when we are told to not touch our faces so much, this I thought was perfect. However, upon reading the instructions, it tells us to not spray it directly onto our face! This was a bit misleading and the product literally says face mist. However, after washing my hands clean, I thought this product isn't too bad. It's goes on really light, so light that I thought my hands might have absorbed them before I could apply onto my face. Throughout the day, I didn't find it greasy, which is a bonus. The big factor for me was the scent. It was really strong and my co-workers could definitely smell it.
Cannot use on my face
I don’t have sensitive skin, but I do suffer from mild acne. Not sure how well this works as sunscreen as it is winter time in Canada now, not much sun exposure, but the spray stings my face upon application... I am afraid to use it anymore, maybe will just use on my body in the summer time... #gotitfree
Easy to apply but too greasy
As a fan of Neutrogena, I wanted to love this so much. The packaging is simple and very easy to apply. Loved that it was SPF 50 protection. However, it ended up being quite greasy which is a massive bummer.
Its useful for touch ups on the go.
This is a very innovative product. As we know, we need to re-apply sunscreen every 2-3 hours, so this spray format is very convenient for that. However, something in the formulation of the sunscreen made me break out, which is not surprising, as most chemical sunscreens have that effect on me. I would definitely buy this if it came in a mineral sunscreen format.
Not recommended for sensitive skin
Not recommended for sensitive skin or people with combination skin types. This product dried my skin out and made it feel rough. Wasn’t ideal for fry skin.
A bit drying
I have very dry skin so this wasn’t the best product for me. I prefer the sunscreen cream instead of a spray, but this product was great for a spray and didn’t leave a noticeable white cast.
Fine mist but strong scent
I received this product complimentary of chick advisor for testing purposes. First of all, I love how fine the mist is. I usually find sunscreens really cakey so I will say that that is a nice feature to have it in mist form. It does feel sortof greasy on my skin , but that comes with sunscreen . My major thing about this product that I didn’t like was the scent , for this being a product meant to be sprayed on the face, it was really strongly scented and thankfully it does go away fairly quickly but it is almost unbearable for me.
made me brake out
I tried this sunscreen on 4 separate occasions and my skin broke out each time. Besides the whole brake out issue, applying sunscreen in spray form is unpredictable. Although the spray on the bottle is good, you can never be sure you have thoroughly covered your whole face and it gets in your eyes. It's clear, has the texture of a dry oil and soaks in well but I give it a 3/5 (some SPF is better than none)
Very shiny finish
- Non-greasy: I apply sunscreen at the end of my morning routine that includes a lot of hydration and boy does my skin looks shiny after applying this. I prefer my makeup more matte and natural hence it got re-assigned to my off-days.
- Spray: personally I do not like mists/sprays that include oils / oil-like that will land on and mess up my hair and clothes, as well as create an oily film on my surroundings. As expected, after spraying, my (very thin) hair started looking greasy and limp around my face. Hence I will either spray it into my hand to use it (and think how nice a dropper would be instead), OR use it as a spray only when I really don't mind the collateral damage (e.g. beach).
Note: I'm not sure why the company creates a face spray and then ask people "Do not spray directly onto face. Spray on hands then apply to face." Just sounds counter-intuitive to me.
- Lightweight: it's rather lightweight and have not broken me out like other Neutrogena sunscreens (yet), but it's not one of the most (or top 3) lightweight sunscreens I have.
The survey asks whether "Did you find that NEUTROGENA Ultra Sheer Face Mist Sunscreen was more lightweight than your current sunscreen product?". The answer is no (not provided among the options where you can select only 'yes' or 'prefer not to answer') - that's fishing for approval.
