Great product

Nice product. I like the pump to get a small amount. Glides nicely on my skin and no white residue. Not sticky.

* Horrible eye pain! * Made my face glow! Great for dry skin as a moisturizer spf
Size: 1.7 Fl Oz (Pack of 1), Size: 1.7 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
Update* After actually wearing it all day reaction - I wore this in the semi-sun to the beach just to walk to shoreline, not actually sitting in sun or getting into water just a 30 minute walk, and by one hour in my eye started to swell and both eyes were in horrible pain. I had to go was my face and eyes as well as put in repeated cosine to help my eyes. My eyes even over night after thorough washing and cleaning still have a slight pain to them. This also clogged some pores and made me itch and break out. I think if you are going to be in AC and no hint of sun or sweat this would be okay. However if you are buying to walk around in any kind of sun this may not be it. For me personally I will be returning. I was hoping this would’ve worked for me. I love neutrogena products but the reaction to my eyes impossible to use for me. First initial opening and putting in my face reaction- Very light weight. Smaller size than I realized. Makes my skin have a sheen soft glow. I would highly recommend for those who have dry skin. If you have naturally oily skin this may have a little too much sheen in it for you all. It does make my face feel absolutely baby soft. I was looking for a moisturizing spf for my face that doesn’t turn my skin white or cake on and over my skin and this is great. I will try it in the sun today and see how it lasts and works. No white at all which I absolutely love. Feels great in my skin. Fragrance free has barely any smell to it which is also nice. Oxybenzone free. It is slowly drying into my skin which is nice. I do not believe it is water or sweat proof so you will have to reapply. It hasn’t hurt my eyes so far but I will update when I am out in the sun to share more feedback if this feedback isn’t the same. Overall very happy.

It seems like it's a small bottle, but it works really well and goes on smooth. It helps me look healthy and I'm 65 years old.

Lightweight, non-greasy, and perfect for daily use”
Size: 3 Fl Oz (Pack of 1), Style: SPF 55
This sunscreen is perfect for daily use. It has a very lightweight texture and absorbs almost instantly without leaving any greasy or sticky feeling on the skin. I love that it doesn’t clog pores and works well under makeup. It provides great sun protection while keeping the skin feeling clean and comfortable throughout the day. Definitely a reliable option if you’re looking for an effective, non-greasy sunscreen.
