Neutrogena Clear Face Sunscreen Lotion for Acne-Prone Skin, Broad Spectrum SPF 55 Facial Sunscreen for Oily Skin, Oil-, Fragrance- & Oxybenzone-Free Water Resistant Sunscreen, 3 fl. oz

I was looking yet again for a facial sunscreen for summer to use under makeup. I'm not very faithful about using sunscreen. I know I should be, yet living up north and being one who stays indoors a lot, I don't worry about it like I should. But when summer comes, I try to wear one most days. But I hate the way they feel, and every year I am on the hunt for one that is not greasy or heavy, won't cause breakouts, and works well under makeup. And is not expensive, to boot. That seems to be a really hard combination to find. The Neutrogena Ultra Sheer is sort of close, but I still find it feels to greasy and heavy on my skin. I gave this one a try this year, and I really like it. As I apply it, I feel like oh no, this is going to be greasy and heavy, too. But no, as soon as I am done applying, it disappears. I really don't feel it on my skin after that. It doesn't leave a white cast once it is applied, and it works well under my makeup. It seems to offer great sun protection. I am very fair and burn easily and I have had no problems. It is a generously sized tube for the price. I use it on my neck and chest, as well. I have had no problem with my eyes stinging as I use it under them. Of course, I am careful not to get it my eyes. No new pimples since using it, no rashes or other irritation either. I think it's a good product, and I recommend it.

I tried this since it is new and claims to be matte. For the past three years, I have been very loyal to the Ultra Sheer Liquid SPF 70 formula (US), which I love bc I think it really disappears into the skin and leaves no shine on the surface (perfect under make-up, too). You should see my review of the Ultra Sheer -- I should be a freaking spokes person, I think it's so great... Having said that, I find Clear Face (CF) to be JUST AS GOOD. I will write a breakdown of the products in an easy-to-read form: - Liquid light texture: BOTH feel liquid light on the skin and disappear completely, leaving no shiny residue. Both are easy to wear under make-up, however I find the CF rolls-up into those pesky balls when you rub it in a lot. This doesn't happen to me every time, so I'm thinking it may be when I layer too many serums and lotions underneath. When I use CF on its own, this doesn't happen. So, it may be the layering or the serums themselves that are the problem. This has never been a problem with US. Note, CF feels a tad thicker in the hand, but disappears just as finely as the US liquid. - Finish: BOTH are completely matte. I wear sunscreen every day, like a good girl (!!!), and I wear both under make-up and alone with ZERO grease problems. I have combination skin, but I think all skin types would like this "next to nothing" look. - Reactions: I don't have very sensitive skin, but it does easily dry-out if I use acne products on a pimple I get every now and then. Both CF and US are chemical sunscreens. That doesn't bother me, but I know some people can't tolerate that. If that's an issue for you, try the Pure&Free versions (very good physical sunscreens, but they leave a slight white cast). - Price: These are about the same price, but the CF is 3 oz. while the US is 1.4 oz. To be honest, I'm not sure why they launched CF when it is a dupe (albeit more affordable) version of US. I think that with the new FDA regulations that came out (e.g. can't claim to be more than 50+ SPF, can't be called sunblock, etc.), Neutrogena might be phasing out the US in favor the new CF? The ingredients lists are very similar, with the major ingredients being nearly identical. It's a bit confusing to me from a consumer/marketing perspective. Hope this is useful.

If you have a medium to darker complexion it does have a white cast to it. I myself am.medium tone and the white cast did go away after it absorbed, about 10 minutes, and left skin feeling nice and matte. Not greasy at all, worked well under my liquid maybelline fit me foundation

I bought this product and was skeptical because I have can prone skin, and most sunscreen is very oily. My skin becomes red very easily, and I am usually hesitant to try new products. This has become my favorite face product, and has actually helped my acne. It is not oily at all, in fact I apply it twice daily (once in the morning and in the afternoon). My face usually becomes very red or pink from the sun, which would irritate my skin. Since I started using this, I have had less acne and I notice the texture of my skin is better. My smile lines have even faded a bit since the sun protection is great! I have not burned at all with this product and I have spent long days in intense sun while wearing it. It does not make my skin look pale after application either! You should absolutely buy this product!!

The search for non-greasy sunscreen for my face is over. This one goes on smoothly and does not leave a greasy film. It completely disappears after being rubbed in, no more rubbing my face raw to get the white coat of sunscreen to rub in. I use this as my daily sunscreen under makeup for everyday use. Both my daughter and I have not had any breakouts or skin irritation from its use. I have extremely sensitive skin so this was a concern for me. My daughter and I both have very pale sensitive skin that freckles and burns easy. Living in Florida means we have to be very vigilant with sunscreen use to avoid looking like the alligators we share space with. I typically put it only one once during the day for normal use. I reapply every 2 hours if it is a beach or pool day. If I follow those guidelines I have not had any sunburns on areas of use. I use this only for face, neck, and ears and use spray on sunscreen for the rest of the body.

I am happy that I purchased this item. I have a medium to dark-skinned complexion with a mix of t-zone oil and dryness in the other areas of my face. I am giving this information because I find it useful to know the skin type and complexion when I purchase an item. I used to use the Visibly Even® Daily Moisturizer with Sunscreen Broad Spectrum SPF 30 for years to help with my hyperpigmentation, but then I stopped because I relocated to the northwest where it was more shaded and rainy, and it also left my face feeling greasy throughout the day even under my makeup. However, let me tell you that the sun's rays still penetrated the clouds, and I began to experience hyperpigmentation again in my face. So I switched to this product, the Neutrogena Clear Face Liquid Lotion Sunscreen for Acne-Prone Skin, Broad Spectrum SPF 55. I LOVE IT! There is a slight white film that is on the face after the initial application, but it fades quickly. The sunblock is thick, a little goes a long way, it works well whether I wear makeup and it does not seem to encourage the oil. I doubt a greasy nose or t-zone will ever change for me, but I use other products to reduce it. I am delighted. I hope this review helps someone else.

I really, really wanted to like this as much as the majority of reviewers seem to; unfortunately, however, in my opinion this did not live up to the hype. Don't get me wrong, it wasn't terrible, it just wasn't great either. For reference, I have very oily, acne-prone skin. PROS: ~ Offers hard-core broad-spectrum protection with myriad types of sunscreens. ~ Doesn't leave a white cast. ~ Nice consistency, light feeling. ~ Works well under makeup and with other products. ~ Decent price. CONS: ~ All of the sunscreens used are chemical sunscreens, which is a bit odd, since physical sunscreens are less irritating than chemical ones (and as all acne-prone people know, irritation leads to breakouts!). Moreover, not only is zinc oxide (a physical sunscreen) non-irritating and non-comedogenic/non-acnegenic, it can actually help to treat and prevent breakouts. So it's odd that they didn't use it in this sunscreen for acne-prone skin and instead exclusively used sunscreens that at best are irritating and at worst comedogenic, which is the opposite of what this product is supposed to do. ~ Probably because of the aforementioned point, this sunscreen seemed to be no better at preventing breakouts than any other facial sunscreen. It's not really any worse than most other facial sunscreens, either; however, considering that it's primary claim is that it won't cause breakouts, it's frustrating that that's not the case. ~ The claim that this leaves your skin matte is complete b.s., at least in my experience. In fact, literally just now as I was writing this review, my boyfriend asked me if I'm okay, because my face is so shiny that it looks like I'm drenched with sweat. Awesome.... NOT the look I was going for!!!!!! ~ This could easily be something that only I experience, but for me, if I use this sunscreen multiple days in a row, my skin starts burning like crazy when I put it on. Not sun-burning, mind you, but really harsh stinging, as though I've just had an intense chemical peel or am using a heavy-duty retinoid. Not sure what causes it to burn like that, because my skin is by no means sensitive. Because of this, I alternate it with another sunscreen and use it only every other day or every third day. Final note: Of course, skin care products work differently on different people. Obviously this product worked very well for the majority of reviewers. So I'd recommend giving it a chance, even though I personally was not wowed.

I have the worst face skin. It's oily, red, full of filaments and small pimples. As soon as the sun hits my face, I turn into a crab, a painful one. I'm also a guy, if that's relevant. This cream has been better for me than any other cream in my 20+ years of life so far. It doesn't clog any pores, it's easy too remove if your want to, with water and a bit of soap, its doesn't smell, and it has NO ALCOHOL so it doesn't dry your skin. I live in Europe and this is the second batch I buy of it. And no, even though you shouldn't use sun screen that's older than some months... I can guarantee that after more than one year it still is very effective at blocking the sun. My face can feel a huge difference at the end of the day compared to not using any cream. I'm pretty sure it also has some kind of moisturizing effect, because for a few hours after I apply it, if I stay kiiinda protected from the sun, my face feels much lighter and radiant.

It gets absorbed quickly by the skin and does not leave any oily or watery feeling on the skin

Dark skin friendly, quindi non fa effetto pallido vampiro. Forse con il sudore la pelle sembra un po' unta ma con gli ottimi risultati riscontrati va bene così. Con il tempo contrasta anche la formazione di macchie da acne e discromie.

Textura acuosa, no deja rastros blancos en el rostro. Desde que lo uso siento que mi piel ha mejorado muchísimo. 100% recomendado.

1- has a white cast which sucks on darker skin 2- feels greasy and generally tacky 3- feels SO heavy on my skin other than that it does its job for a good price and there's a great amount of product in it.
