Neutrogena Sensitive Skin Mineral Sunscreen Lotion with Broad Spectrum SPF 60+ & Zinc Oxide, Water-Resistant, Hypoallergenic, Fragrance- & Oil-Free Gentle Sunscreen Formula, 3 fl. oz

I started Udine this years ago after a bout with skin cancer left me with 14 stitches down the front of my face. The active ingredient (zinc) doesn't cause cancer (a weird irony with some sunblocks). This was the first one I found that didn't sting when I put it on my face, although I understand from other reviews that some people have gotten reactions to it. It has not increased my incidence of milia, either.The zinc gives the skin a slight white cast, even after it is rubbed in. I use it every morning under my makeup, so that is not a problem. Even when I go without makeup, it is not very noticeable on me, but I am fairly pale. I imagine it might be a problem for darker skin tones when not adding makeup.I am very happy with this product and have had no recurrence of skin cancer in almost 10 years (and I grew up in a time when no one heard of trying to block the sun and we used to put on baby oil and "lay out" to tan faster - it's a wonder I've not had more trouble with cancer).

This is the optimal way to block the deleterious effects of strong sunlight on skin. The only downside is that this white cream — while it disappears readily into skin — transfers easily onto other surfaces, like doorknobs, the inside and outside of the car door, and even clothing if you're not careful. However, this is a small price to pay for knowing this is both effective and safe in terms of physical health.

Where has this been all of my life? As someone who has lived in a sunny place all of my life, worked outside and who also suffers from incredibly sensitive fair skin, I have HATED wearing sunscreen due to the oh so wonderful burn that would feel like acid eating my skin off. I have tried countless sunscreens, all with the same results, unbearable burning and redness to the point I just stopped wearing sunscreen. Enter this magical potion! From the first moment I put it on my skin, I felt nothing! Sweet, beautiful, so unimaginatively appreciated nothing. I wear it every day now, even under makeup it feels light, smooth and comfortable. Thank you, Neutrogena!!

it's perhaps too greasy feeling and doesn't entirely dry. white and paste-like, it rubs off a little even hours later on anything you touch up against. it might be ok because it's for sensitive skin and therefore less or no irritation compared to other similar products at widely different prices. this is among the lowest cost options compared to others that are not drugstore brands. i prefer "colorscience" for about 3 times the price per unit volume. But i go thru it a bit fast using on my legs in Florida all year. I've tried them all and looked at it as an experiment. This means that I rotate day to day. Every choice is ok so ling as you use something. There's a place for this product. It works fine. I'm very white already without adding white paste on top. I would think darker complections would have less love for it than I do. That issue is a minor fault to me. For some it could be a bigger factor. Let's note that there's no perfect product for sunscreen. Each one can have a drawback, including high price points, unlike this item.

Good

I have very sensitive skin and does not irritate. Even used in my face, for out in sun. Have not tried under makeup yet, but I think it might do good because it does dry very nicely.

Works well but very thick, once I get it all rubbed in it looks okay but once I start sweating it seems to pool up on top of the sweat making me look extra white. Rubs off on everything, car door, the clothes you're wearing etc... Definitely stays on though I did a 5 mile run, 14 mile bike, worked out on gym equipment, swam 1/4 mile and sat in the hot tub and still had to scrub in the shower to get it off. I switched to a lighter brand but imagine this is the best in some situations where you want to make sure it stays on and continues to protect.

No problems with item, use it regularly, works well with my sensitive skin.Weirdness is that it arrived in a plastic grocery style bag, untied, with a sticker on it that had someone else's name??? No address on bag so I can't even verify that it is my order. Amazon says it hasn't been shipped yet. I am really confused, but the date and time are correct on the sticker that doesn't even tell me how it was shipped, so I can't call the shipping company that accepted this item in a plastic bag. Very weird!
