I was so excited by the "110" that I bought this product over the summer, despite having enough of my favorites to last the rest of the season. Recently, I started to feel guilty for having purchased this six months ago and never used it (because during the summer, I didn't want to risk the unknown, so I stuck to either my beloved Anthelios or Sheseido). But now it was January, and surely I could use the cheaper stuff that would surely protect me well enough. I really loved the very matte texture of this--great for my oily skin. However, after just a week, I broke out--I got a cyst around my jawline, the mark from which I am still trying to fade. My skin has been pretty good for the past few months, and this was the only change I had made, so I had to blame this product. I threw it out. I have given it 2 lippies instead of 1 because I don't know if this will break everyone out, and it does have a wonderfully matte finish.

I really like this sunscreen. I feel that it protects well, it doesn't leave me all greasy, and it doesn't cause me to break out . Compared to the European brands, it is decently priced.

This sunblock made my eyes burn like crazy and it doesn't matter if I just focused on my t-zone and cheeks. This was difficult for me to blend and I don't think the high spf did much as my melasma became worse. It has been resigned to my arms, neck, and legs.

My skin is fair-medium, cool, and I'm on the backside of 45 :-( I should have paid more attention to sunscreen as a teenager (I had friends who sunbathed in babyoil alone, even cooking oil!, and used those aluminum reflectors; I wasn't THAT bad). I look much younger than I am but probably do have sun damage. So I was hoping this 110 SPF with helioplex would help prevent further damage with those age-accelerating UVA rays!
It probably does, but I won't know -- every time I've tried using this (multiple times over the last three weeks), I end up looking sunburned. I think my skin is becoming sensitive as I age (the aging gods have all sorts of nasty tricks up their sleeves!). This makes me itch, too.
I'm trying other products with good broadscreen UVA/UVB protection, and will post about those after I've given them a fair shake.

I'm a redhead and when I find a sunscreen with a high spf, I buy it immediately. Unfortunately, I was a bit disappointed with this sunscreen, mostly because it balled up A LOT on my face. This normally wouldn't bother me, especially in the summer. But since I put it on everyday, it made me look like I had really dry skin which I did not like. It does dry very well it does not look greasy whatsoever on your face which is a plus. But if you want a sunscreen that does not ball up, I would not recommend this. The ultra sheer dry touch sunscreen by Neutrogena does not do this, so I think I will go back to using that sunscreen.

I love this sunblock -- it's definitely one of my skincare must-haves. I'm kind of a nut about sun protection, but I'm really fair, so I figure I can never be too careful. I wear Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Liquid Daily Sunblock SPF 70 on a daily basis, but I rotate it with this (and I do wear this one every single time I'm going to be outside in the sun for more than a few minutes). Despite feeling like a traditional sunblock (it's thick and creamy), I can honestly say that, somehow, it absorbs fully into the skin, and it leaves no residue or greasy feeling on my face -- I can still wear it under makeup (though it does not leave the matte finish that the Ultra Sheer Liquid does). I highly recommend it!

I really like this stuff. I reserve my 5 lippies for my HG's but I use it everyday in the summer and on sunny days.
Studies show that 90% of wrinkles are caused by the sun, so a good sunscreen is the base of any good skin care regimen. I use it at the end my normal morning skincare routine: cleanser, eye cream, serum, moisturizer, and then this. I sometimes cheat and use a moisturizer that has spf 15 or 30, but I will never go outside without wearing this. This was recommended to me by my mother's friend, a 53 year old bombshell who takes great care of her self and swears by this stuff.
I also love how it does not make my skin greasy, rather the opposite. I was scared that putting on sunscreen would make me oilier than I am, but instead it seems to control my oil and keep me more matte throughout the day. It's wonderful.

Oh I didn't even realize this was waterproof until I read it here on MUA. My mom bought this a couple weeks ago, and I was sort of upset with her for not letting me check MUA first to see if it was a good product. I've read reviews for nearly all of Neutrogena's sunscreens and I've decided SPF 100 sounded like the best one. But lo and behold, SPF 110, which sounds outrageously protective (does an olive girl like me really need such a high spf?) Anyway, I was afraid of the consistency for the sake of my super-oily teenage skin. So here's what I'll tell you.
-The cream is really thick. I feel like my skin is very well protected because of how thick it is.
-I was really surprised to see that it dries fairly matte. No greasy shine whatsoever, and that's a huge thing for me, having extremely oily skin to begin with.
-It dries quickly. Which is awesome for me since I like to apply my powder foundation right after (MAC studiofix)
-My skin feels moisturized with it on (but I suppose most sunscreens do that anyway). Some may like this more than others. Personally, with such oily skin I don't care for extra moisture, but it's not bothersome. I could see someone with drier skin liking this sunscreen.
-Once or twice so far I've noticed there being a little white buildup on the skin where my sunglasses sit on my nose. It's no big deal, I just lightly rub the area after taking off my sunglasses. Just thought I'd mention that.
-I don't see much of a whitecast when I apply the sunscreen, and I have fairly tan skin, so a whitecast would show if there was one.
Overall, I'm fairly pleased with this sunscreen. I think I will repurchase. If you're unhappy with your current sunscreen, this is definitely worth a try.

I am sure these have been redone from last year. The 110 is now oil free, non greasy, and waterproof. It has the Helioplex and says it penetrates 6 layers of skin to protect from UVA rays (which cause wrinkles), UVB to prevent burning, and combats free radicals. I don't feel anything on my skin and there is no white cast to my face. Of course in any pictures it will show up lighter than your body, but that's the case with all SPF. It's waterproof and sweatproof so I'm thankful for that! You get 3 oz for about $12. It's not super cheap, but it's skincare included with your SPF.
