I used this on my face and it does not absorb completely into my skin. My powder sat on top of the face lotion - it looked horrible. I am going to use the bottle on my neck, chest and body until it is finished. I much prefer Ombrelle SPF 45 for the face. I have used Neutrogena SPF products and they have always agreed with me. Unfortunately, this product did not work for me.

Everything makes my face break out...Clinique, ROC, Oil of Olay, even other Neutrogena products, but not this one. I am extremely fair, so the white tint is barely noticeable. Living in San Diego, I'm glad to have he higher SPF and the UVA/UVB protection, so it's a keeper so far. Actually seemed to clear up my face and make my skin feel softer but not shiny or greasy. Only four stars because it may actually be drying out my skin a bit, but only been using it for a week, so not sure yet if this is a big problem. I wash with Cetaphil AM and put this on afterwards, then wash off before bed with Cetaphil again. Don't usually wear makeup.

I gave this product a 3, because it did prevent burning. On the other hand, it is impossible for me to wear under makeup due to terrible pilling and flaking. I have extremely dry skin with rosacea. I had a few red spots appear the day after using this product. I am confused that the label says "fragrance free," when it has that fake coconut oil scent. ??? Another facial product relegated to use on my body.

Wow, I am amazed at the low rating for this product.

I bought the "new look" version, and I think it is one of the best sunscreens I have ever used on my face, and is an excellent under makeup (bare minerals) moisturizer. Sinks in fast, non-greasy, no whiteness, and perfect if you wear mineral makeup. It's been a week and so far no breakouts or irritation.

I put it on under my makeup this morning, then around 11am I started spreading mulch in all my flowerbeds...8 wheelbarrels full of mulch and 4 hours later, on a cold windy day, and my makeup still looked as good as it did after I put it on at 9am. Love it!

This is a good SPF, with lots of chemical UV blockers, including photostable avobenzone at the FDA's highest allowed concentration at 3.0%.

I actually use now it with a lot of success, but only when I mix it with an Aveeno sunscreen. If used alone, I find it is too sticky/greasy to use on my oily face.

I like this product personally, because it leaves a dewy finish and is moisturizing for my dry skin. However, it is horrible for oily skin, because it might make your face look shiny.

I am starting to get frustrated.
As a woman of color, I cannot for the life of me, find a good sunscreen. Every single type I have tried so far has left me looking like a ghost and greasy as hell.
Ugh. I guess this product would be good if you had the skin color of dita von teese.
I also hate the waxy residue that this leaves on my face.

This may pass muster for someone with a lighter skintone, but do not buy this if you are tan or darker. It takes a long time to blend in and, even then, it leaves a white film on the skin. Plus, it smells medicinal. I gave it a chance for a week, but disliked the results. It dried out my skin. I tossed it out. That's why I am rating it "expensive."

This last point may be an unfair criticism because this may happen with other higher SPF sunscreens as well when using makeup for darker skintones. My Mac face powders (Blot Powder in Dark, and MMSF in Med-Dark) and blushes turned dark orange or dark muddy purplish-pink over this sunscreen as did Bare Escentuals mineral powder concealer.

I use this sunscreen daily, after Olay moisturizer and before BM foundation. I like the product, it seems to protect my skin and my foundation blends nicely over it. (No need for primer) If you blend it in carefully there isn't a problem with white streaks. I'm 50 and I wish there had been sunscreen with an SPF of 70 when I was a teen.

My teenage son, who has acne, did not like this sunscreen. He uses the Neutorgena dry touch.

Absolute JUNK. I originally bought this ss as a replacement of my neutrogena healthy defense spf 45 and I have to say that I cannot possibly be more disappointed with this. This ss seems to be very liquidy, but it just NEVER blends in with my skin. It leaves MAJOR white cast on my face. It then dries up and the white streaks CANNOT be rubbed in cus doing that will just make it 1000X worse with 1000X more white streaks on my face. I tried to use the rest up on my arms and it even leaves white casts there. This ss is ABSOLUTELY USELESS. I cannot believe that I spent money on this crap. I thought it would be a nice step up from my HG healthy defense spf 45. I feel so stupid right now. I would NEVER ever ever ever ever ever use it on myself even if u paid me money to use it. COMPLETE CRAP isn't even a strong enough word 4 me 2 describe this disgusting ss. I would rather get sun-burnt instead if u forced me 2 use this!!!!!!!!!!!

Great sunscreen to use before spending time in the sun, but I wouldn't use it everyday or under makeup. It protects from UVA and UVB and doesn't feel oily on the skin, but it is a bit thick and needs to be rubbed in completely or it leaves a whitish cast.

I HATE this stuff with a passion!! I used this when I went to a bbq on a semi cloudy day and I got the worst sun burn ever even though I reapplied every hr. The texture is ok, there's better, and the smell is like any other sunscreen. I'm not sure if this breaks me out because I tossed it after that bbq. it comes in an opaque white tube with a twist cap. It doesn't leak but like with all products, flip caps are always easier esp with its something like ss. Def will NOT repurchase!!

This is pretty good, no white cast, sinks in well, leaves a dewy sheen on my normal/dry skin and doesn't burn my very sensitive eyes, which is a huge plus.

Bought this at a local Wal-mart because I needed something with stronger sun protection for days when I'm out in the sun for longer periods of time. People always recommend Neutrogena's line of sunscreens so I thought why not give it a try. To my dismay, this particular sunscreen wasn't really what I expected. It didn't really cause any irritation for me other than make my face turn a bit red near the cheeks. However, my face would look greasy and chalky after applying it. In addition, the sunscreen is very hard to spread evenly on my skin because it dries out so quick. After I finish this tube, I'll probably give Neutrogena's newest liquid sunscreen a shot...hopefully, it's easier to spread and won't leave my face greasy looking.

this is the best sunblock mainly for its ingredients. it has no titaniam dioxide or zinc oxide which or good sun protectors but are pore clogging. it has parsol 1789 aka AVOBENZONE
which is the only ingredient known to block UVA rays!! and some of its ingredients are in disguise like Tocopheryl Acetate which is a vitamin e and a anti-oxidant, Ascorbic Acid which is vitamin c another anti-oxidant & probably most important Retinyl Palmitate which is retinol but not converted untill your skin coverts Retinyl Palmitate to retinol which is vitamin a. all these ingredients are like the best when it comes to anti-aging and age reversing! it is spf 70 to top it off! plus theres no oil and doesnt leave my face greasy like most sunscreens do!

I suffer from rosacea so my skin is so sensitive and I have to put on sunscreen religiously. This product caused most of my flare ups. It burned and made my skin itchy. i don't know what they put in the face formula that is different from their regular formula but they should change it. I had to throw it away.

I don't like this sunblock for the following reasons:
-hard to spread on face
-makes skin look a shade lighter. this + make up makes your face a color that it shouldn't be.
-leaves white residue, so you have to go back and rub in the excess again.
-makes skin look oily

I was researching stuff about sunscreen and SPF 15 is just fine. Neutrogena Healthy Defense SPF 30 is way better than this.

If I do use this I wouldn't wear make-up, and make sure to spread it in completely. The only positive is that it doesn't break me out.

Really wanted to like this, as it seemed nice going on, etc. but sadly, I got an irritated patch after only one application, so I can't give a performance-based review here. Back to the store it went!

this is a good sunscreen for American drugstore brands.
i like that it had no scent and the tube is nice and big. it comes out like a creme. you do have to blend it well, cause it does streak and it leaves a white cast. the protection is very good though. (i have not tried it at the beach yet though)

i will re-purchase this only for my neck and body, but for face i prefer japanese milky sunscreens, they work better with makeup.

I was really excited about this because of the high spf but it just did not work out. It is thick and hard to spread and despite my best efforts to rub it in somehow I don't know if it settles or if it doesn't blend it well but I always found spots of white sunblock like half an hour later and it is embrassing for other people to point that out to me. Also, it made my face one shade lighter than it is and it looks like I am wearing foundation that doesn't match my neck. I find this greasier than their dry touch stuff.
