Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Mineral Sunscreen Stick SPF 50, 1.5 oz

This is the best sunscreen I’ve ever used. I have Rosacea and very sensitive skin and it doesn’t give me watery eyes or make me break out. I’ve been using it for a long time. A little goes a long way AND you should spread it out gently with your fingers. If you put too much on, you can get a white cast. You can dab off any excess with a paper towel and rub it in a little more. It’s mineral sunscreen, so it can be hard to remove, but using micellar liquid makeup remover and cotton rounds, it’s VERY easy and doesn’t cause irritation. If you scrub too hard with wipes or a face cloth, or don’t get it all off, it will cause irritation.

Finding good sunscreen is a challenge and it’s not just the SPF or sun protection factor that is difficult. Oily sprays are challenging to work with and even when rubbing in many of the creams, they were only great for pool days since I’d find my clothes or flip flop straps would stain yellow. I don’t like to have to strategically and meticulously plan my sunscreen so I wanted one that fits in my daily routine. This was recommended by a dermatologist and I don’t know how I lived without it. I use it on both face and body and there is a ton of product. It lasts so long and I feel protected. Especially when driving, you don’t know how damaged your arms can get! Protect your body and your sanity, this stuff is worth it as a “put it on and forget about it.” Yay for sun protection! Must-have. Not even sure how it does it, but it also prevents excessive sweating in areas where I’ve applied it, so reapplication often isn’t necessary like the creams and sprays. A pleasant, unexpected “plus.”

This definitely leaves a white cast, but it’s much easier to put on than most mineral sunscreen. For the price I definitely wish the bottle was bigger. I managed to snag it for. $9.99 but the price has since gone back up around five dollars more. Overall, I’ll deal with the white cast since I have so many allergies, this is the only nice mineral sunscreen that I can get for my face.

It's Neutrogena so it is a quality sunscreen I took a star off because I do have to rub it in as I get a light white cast when putting it on and there's a heaviness compared to the corsx stick sunscreen which is my favorite. But the price is way better, and my kids happily self apply this sunscreen... So I call it a win. It's not my go to sunscreen for day to day, but it is the one I reach for when we're going outside for long periods of time.

I’ve tried several sunscreens, and this one has become one of my favorites. It feels lightweight, doesn’t make my skin oily, and most importantly, it doesn’t cause breakouts for me. It keeps my skin protected and comfortable throughout the day, and I’ll definitely keep using it.

I was hoping this would apply just like the ultra dry touch stick for face with no white cast. Unfortunately this body stick leaves a significant white cast. After applying the stick, you need to rub it in with your hands to get rid of the white cast. Meanwhile the face stick leaves no white residue. Quite disappointing the body stick is not the same formula as the smaller face stick despite packaging looking identical (other than size difference).

My use case: A sand volleyball tournament that goes from 9am in the morning till 6pm at night in the summer Texas sun. My primary concerns: prevents sunburn, doesn't get in my eyes when sweating. I'm not overly concerned with how well this sunscreen blends in - I don't want an opaque white paste on my face, but I'm also a sweaty sandy mess, so appearance isn't my top priority. For reference, I'm white but tan easily. This sunscreen stick works well for this purpose! I can sweat profusely as you would expect, but there is no stinging in my eyes like I get with chemical sunscreens. It also has broad spectrum protection against UVA and UVB including long wave UVA. If you want a daily sunscreen to prevent aging that appears invisible, this may not be for you. But if you want a good sports sunscreen for face that won't irritate eyes, this is it!

Spreads so easy - the big deodorant dispenser looks weird but it takes fewer swipes. Is soft and you can see where you applied. Must rub it in though. Dries down matte - excellent formula. Spreads easily and sets very quickly. Blurring effect is nice on my old wrinkled face. Not drying or tightening of skin feeling - comfortable and never heavy or tacky unless it’s more than 2 reapplications. Gets too white too. Slight cast but a LOT less than others. It takes more than 2 layers on me (Mac NC 20-25) I think this one is it. Not hard and chalky, agreeable haze but the finish is dry and pores are smoothed over. If they ever made a tinted stick like this I’d feel like I’ve won the lottery

It leaves a white cast so you have to use your hands to spread it like using a lotion sunscreen. I have sensitive skin and it made me break out just after few days of using it.

Deja una capa blanca en la piel al aplicar, yo la desvanezco un poco con las manos pero si eres de piel blanca no se nota tanto. Muy buena calidad y protección para piel sensible. Tiene buena duración.

Súper protector el mejor que he ocupado, no se siente grasoso

**Calificación: 4 de 5 estrellas** Compré este protector solar en barra buscando una opción práctica para reaplicar durante el día, especialmente en actividades al aire libre. En general, cumple bien su función, pero tiene algunos puntos importantes a considerar según el uso que le quieras dar. Lo mejor de este producto es su formato en barra: es muy conveniente, no ensucia las manos y es fácil de llevar en la bolsa o mochila. Para actividades como nadar o estar en la playa, funciona bastante bien. Se mantiene relativamente estable en contacto con el agua y ofrece una buena protección solar (SPF 50), lo cual se agradece en exposiciones prolongadas. Sin embargo, no diría que es “ultra sheer” como promete. Deja una ligera capa visible sobre la piel, especialmente en tonos más oscuros o si aplicas varias pasadas. Esto hace que no sea la mejor opción para uso diario, por ejemplo en la cara antes del trabajo o maquillaje. Otro punto importante: no se comporta bien con el sudor. Si estás en un clima húmedo o haces ejercicio, puede sentirse pesado o deslizarse un poco, tanto si sudas antes como después de aplicarlo. En ese caso, hay que tener cuidado y considerar reaplicaciones más frecuentes. **Conclusión:** Es un buen protector solar para playa, piscina o actividades acuáticas donde la practicidad importa, pero no es ideal para uso diario o en condiciones de mucho calor y sudor. Si buscas algo invisible para todos los días, quizá quieras considerar otra opción.
