On paper it has all the right things going for it: not shiny, not heavy, dries down fast, yadda yadda. My skin is a bit irritated right now so I expect the irritation to stop once my skin is in better shape, but for right now it’s not a particularly enjoyable experience. Like the other Neutrogena sunscreens in this review, (spoiler) this one stung. On a positive note, this sunscreen does feel very lightweight, not heavy or greasy. There’s also a white cast? I’ve never seen this mentioned in any review, so maybe my eyes deceive me, but.there’s definitely a white cast. It has all the appeal of dried toothpaste. (comaprison to CeraVe Ultra Light on the left)Ĭosmetically elegant shine level? Hell Yes.Ĭosmetically elegant anything else? Hard no. But beware if you plan on using a blotting sheet - if you apply anything more than a thin layer of this sunscreen or if you make the mistake of moving your face, you’ll end up withĪ really freakin gross blotting sheet. It’s not fully matte, but it has a beautiful finish that might not require blotting or setting depending on your ideal Dew Level. I will say that this has less shine than any of the other drugstore sunscreens I’ve tried. It’s impossible to rub in any areas that have too much after it has dried a bit, and even smiling causes gross white flakes to appear. It definitely has a snake-shedding-its-skin vibe and it ain’t pretty. If too much is applied, any facial movement or rubbing will cause the sunscreen to sort of clump up, lift up, and flake off. Occasionally I’ll apply too much at a time and it’ll all clump up into one gross sunscreen snowball, but it tends to do that even when I’m using an excess of caution. It doesn’t do too well on its own, either. That doesn’t mean much to me in the summer, but it would be practically unusable for me in the winter, and I suspect it’ll be unusable for many people with dry skin who prefer to layer moisturizers under non-moisturizing sunscreens. Heavy creams, thin lotions, doesn’t matter - Dry Touch won’t play nice. This one didn’t really live up to the hype.Īpplied over moisturizer, this bad boy pills like there’s no tomorrow. It has a nice satin finish but it does have a white cast. Performance: This is a very, very thick cream that’s a bit difficult to spread out.
