I love this stuff, I am very pale and would like to stay this way, this products helps me to achieve this. it smells much better than any other sunscreen I've ever tried. This is a bit hard to spread if you dot on but i have tried warming it a bit between my hands then applying and I find this aids in applying it more smoothly. Usually you can get coupons online or in Sunday papers so its really not expensive at all. I have even tried this on my face and if applied thinly its not got a very heavy feeling to it.

OUTRAGEOUS!!!! JUST FOUND OUT THAT THIS PRODUCT HAS BEEN ADVERTISED AND SOLD AS CONTAINING HELIOPLEX BUT NONE OF IT WAS IN IT- this not me saying it- it s a court of law- Neutrogena was sued and as a result , it has now put the helioplex in the product but this happened in april 2010- since launched it was fakely advertised- shoking!!!

I'm really glad I tried this sunscreen. I used to use a very expensive brand and did like it but got tired of paying so much. I have very sensitive skin and was afraid this would irriate it. It turned out to be great, no sensitivity, nice light coverage and really protects my skin. This is my new favorite product!!

This is pretty much everything you'd want in a sunscreen. It's high SPF, about ten bucks, doesn't break me out or burn, isn't greasy, and sits under makeup really well. Couldn't ask for more. I use this everyday mixed with my non-SPF moisturizer and then apply my makeup. 5 stars. Nuff said.

This is my every day facial sunscreen, and I am very satisfied with it. I wear it over moisturizer every morning, and it still absorbs quickly enough for me to apply makeup without waiting all day. I wear liquid foundation and a dusting of loose powder on my nose to disguise some visible capillaries (I have VERY light skin), and I can apply them right over the sunscreen-they set just fine and don't run at all, though I'm not entirely sure if that's due to the quality of the sunscreen or the foundation. I have combination skin with a very oily t-zone, so sometimes in warm weather I will skip applying sunscreen to my nose area so there is no tendency for it to shine later in the day, but this is usually only necessary when it is very hot or humid out-my forehead and chin are fine, with little to no excess shine. I have used this brand of sunscreen in varying strengths for a couple of years, and I have not noticed significant aging on my face, nor have I sustained any sun damage that I can tell, so I guess it's doing its job!

This stuff is pretty good. It has ridiculously high SPF and it's not oily or greasy. It didn't bally up like the Age Shield line and it absorbs into my skin fairly easily so there were no accidental white streaks of sunscreen on my face. This is a good product and it's affordable.

I love this sunscreen. I like that I get so much protection for a very reasonable price. This has done more for my skin than any skin treatment in that it has allowed my skin to heal from all the damage I did when I was younger, and it has prevented further damage as well. I put on mineral makeup over it and I am good to go. I use it every day without fail on my face, neck, arms, and hands.

I love this sunscreen! I have tried many and this one goes on somoothly, doesn't break you out, and absorbs well in about 10 min. Makeup goes on well over it and it definitely protects you from the sun. I am outside 5 days a week, all day, and have used this for years and my skin is not like leather.

This is the best sunblock I've used on my face! It does not feel greasy (give it 10-15 minutes to set) and acts as a great moisturiser as well.

With my glow-in-the-dark pale Irish skin & a medication that makes me more prone to burning, I have to have sunscreen on at all times.

My face, front & back of my neck, top of my chest & backs of my hands get a coat of this sunblock first thing in the morning. I put mineral make-up over it with out a problem, no creasing or powdery look & it the make-up stays put.

I refuse to leave the house with out sunblock on. Just doesn't happen. I put sunblock on almost immediately after getting out of bed in the morning. My family jokes that the house could be burning down & I wouldn't leave until I had sunblock on.

Great product! Smooth to put on and doesn't smell like yucky sunblock. I usually hate wearing sunblock because it's sticky and chalky to put on and it smells bad. But this one smells good! It *does* however go on thickly at first, but it quickly absorbs within 15 minutes. Definitely a plus considering all the harmful rays these days. :) Will definitely purchase again!

I would love to make this my sunscreen of choice due to it's wonderful texture, but I am concerned about the level of UVA protection. I have emailed and called Neutrogena for more information and they could not provide any. They keep talking about the SPF, which only provides a measure of UVB protection. The customer service person I talked to was not even aware of that. She said she would pass along my questions and someone would get back to me, but no one did. Bottom line for me is until there are some good answers about UVA protection (preferably estimated PPD) I don't feel comfortable using it.

The best sunscreen I have ever used. I have very fair skin and living in Australia I need all the protection I can get. This product delivers. It does go on a little chalky but will absorb within 10 minutes or so. Works fine as a base for makeup too. The best thing about this is that it really does protect your skin from the sun. My pigmentation has been greatly reduced since using this product.

Keep it away from your eyes when applying though. Stings for ages if you're careless.

My only issue with this product is that I have to get it on trips to the states or order online as it's not available here in Australia.

I’ve been using this as my daily face sunscreen for a couple of weeks. Overall I like it. It does not break me out nor does it sting, not even around the eyes. It’s not as dry touch as I’d like, meaning it’s still a little greasy, but not at all the oil slick that most sunscreens are when you use the recommended amount.
Makeup wears ok over it, does not ball up, but you need to let it absorb for at least 10 minutes before applying. I find that liquid foundations wear better then the mineral ones.

This sunblock works great..I was out at the beach all day, and my skin tone still looks the same. The only problem I have is that, when I go into the water..and come back out,..it seems to dry me out..and it's also very thick..so a lippie off..
I put a 'no' on repurchasing, but most likely I will..one a year..I only those that high of a sunscreen when I'm out swimming or BBQing, which rarely happens..like once a year..

Great! I tried the spf 55 a couple of years ago and tossed it. It balled up on me and I got greasy. This has been wonderful so far. I'm thinking the reformulated it or something. Anyway, will use this as my summertime sunscreen from now on.

I'm very happy with this sunscreen. I recently went to Las Vegas for vacation and being that it was in the beginning of the summer I was very pale and was fearful of getting sunburned. I bought this before going and faithfully applied it every 2 hours while laying at the pool..it worked so well!! It absorbs well and my skin felt great!

What a great find! Neutrogena outdid itself in creating a sunscreen with a high SPF that is comfortable to wear, moisturizing, non-greasy and non-pilling.

Previous years' offerings from this line turned me off. SPF 45 with helioplex I tried a couple of summers ago pilled and left a shiny, suffocating white film on my face.

I am so glad I gave Neutrogena another chance. SPF 100+ 2009 is a very wearable formula that comes in a convenient 3 oz tube, perfect for airline carry-on liquids size requirement when you are jetting away unencumbered by bags to check. I am back from Hawaii with a pale face and a happy smile and look forward to using this sunscreen through the rest of the season.
