Ultra Sheer Body Lotion SPF 50+ Reviews

Love this, it’s my go to SPF everywhere I go. Recommended by the skin cancer foundation and most likely the one I will use because it’s within standards. I don’t have any complaints with this sunscreen, it’s sinks into the skin very well, it doesn’t leave any flakiness. Even though they say apply every 4 hours it’s important to do every 2 hours.

The sunblock body lotion is good as it does not leave your skin oily and greasy like some other sun cream. Also, it does not make your skin white after applying it, so I do not have to worry that my skin looks white after applying them. This sunblock is value for money.

After searching for many years, I think I have found the perfect sunscreen! It is SPF 50+ and it has a nice thick texture. It cream absorbs into the skin quickly and it will not feel greasy. It doesn't have a strong smell. Other sunscreen sometimes make me break out but I haven't had any problems with this product so far.

The best thing I love above this product is that I can put make up on top and they don't slide off. I wear it everyday to work.

The size of the tube is just perfect. It is convenient for travelling. I always have a tube in my handbag.

This has been my go-to sunscreen for about 5 years now. I like how it provides matte finish on skin, hence I do not look like a grease ball. I use this on my face primarily and it does help my skin stay protected under the sun. The only thing I detest about this product is, it leaves a white cast after applying but it goes away after rubbing the product in. The product does smells a bit funky but for me it goes away almost instantly. However, after discovering Neutrogena Hydro Boost sunscreen, I now prefer that compare to this product.

Some would think that alabaster white skin is a good thing, however I would recommend not trying to keep it with this sunscreen, unless you want zinc residue alabaster white skin.

Yes it is dry touch, and also drying to the skin. Although I carefully applied a small amount and rubbed it in well, after half an hour of wear I could see white smears of the sunscreen start appearing on my face as I sweated. My skin also felt dry after using this sunscreen.

It was in no way sheer, the white residue remained and left a white sheen on my face until I removed the sunscreen later in the day.

Deciding to give it another go, I tried it again, on a cool day, in case the sunny hot day was too much for the sunscreen to handle. On a WIntery day I again tried the sunscreen. Again it stayed visible on my skin, not sheer but white, and made my skin feel dry.

No doubt the sunscreen just does not work well with my skin as I have seen others rave about how great it is.

This is a really good sunscreen that seriously does its job. No matter how much you apply it is seriously easy to rub in and you cannot see it. It lasts a really long time and even longer with regular reapplications. I have been using it all summer including to a 3-day music festival and many beach trips and have not got burnt once. That is the first time that has ever happened! The only downside for me personally is that when applied to my face I find that I get quite oily skin.

This sunscreen sat on my skin and left a very un-sheer white layer ... and stayed like that for 6 hours until I physically removed it. It caused me to sweat even more than I was before applying it. It dried out my skin, but also caused pimples—I'm guessing that's because it clogged my pores while sitting on my face for hours. Really unhappy that I wasted money on this sunscreen.

As I have said on some other sunscreen reviews here, I have named this year the year of the sunscreen. It has been my aim to find MY *perfect* sunscreen. A sunscreen that perfectly balances price/volume with cosmetic elegance such that I actually WANT to wear it, and wear the right amount (1/2-1tsp for face and neck + reapplications throughout the day) everyday.

PROS:
- If you can spend the time rubbing this sunscreen in (perhaps in 2 layers while getting ready for the day?) then this sunscreen does eventually settle down to a clear/colourless mattish (more like subtle dewyness), velvety texture.
- High SPF rating (if you apply enough product, which I doubt most people will take the time to do, see above point and cons below).
- Leaves your skin feeling velvety soft - it has a lovely finish and I do wear it on the body but not on the (my) face.

CONS:
- I cannot state this enough, this product STINGS the skin on my FACE so badly that I actually have to wash it off within 10 minutes. I don't know why, it happens with a lot of sunscreens but especially all neutrogena ones. I have even written all of the ingredients down and tried to cross reference them with other stinging sunscreens - I can't figure it out. (FYI I have sensitive acne prone skin - combination normal to dry)
- Thick occlusive texture that takes a long time to rub in.
- While the bottle size is nice and generous if you are using it as a face sunscreen (which I am not) it is on the small size for whole body/ day in the sun application.

I bought this one from back home and man it's a beauty. It's a sleek tube that squeezes the liquid out without much of an effort, fits easily in a small bag , is perfect for me. I don't like wearing make up everyday although I want a bit of a shine on my forehead and cheeks. You might find it weird but it gave my skin that extra shine it needed. I comfortably wear it more than once a day and absolutely love it.
It's non greasy and stays for a long time on your skin. Fragrance is not that strong is an excellent product. Highly recommend for anyone to try it.
