    Works well for skin newbie

    I am a 35 year old male and only became aware of skincare recently - this product works well, lasts a long time and performs well. My skin is noticeably smoother and fuller and it doesn’t leave me with a greasy feel.

    A recommend product

    I’m really impressed with this product! The application is smooth and effortless, and the way it makes my skin feel is amazing. It melts in quickly, with zero residue, thanks to its excellent absorption. After using it consistently, my skin looks healthier and feels noticeably softer. Definitely a product I’d recommend!

    My go-to SPF

    I use this year round. I like hyaluronic ingredients, it absorbs quickly, is non-comedagenic and best of all for me, it does not irritate my eyes.

    I love Neutrogena, even when I worked in high-end retail skin care even when I shopped at the most expensive skin care places I always went for Neutrogena. I even recommended it to people I've compared it to more expensive products and I always win

    Hydrating, non-greasy, and perfect for daily sun p

    I absolutely love the lightweight texture of this sunscreen! It absorbs quickly without leaving a greasy residue and keeps my skin feeling hydrated all day. The scent is fresh but not overpowering, and the packaging is sleek and easy to use. It works well under makeup and provides decent SPF coverage for everyday use. I’ve noticed my skin feels more moisturized and protected against pollution after regular use. A great value for the price!

    Greasy

    This can be very oily especially on my face. I really only used if I planned on swimming but on the go on a sunny day I opt for something that is less greasy.

    Waste of money

    Love the company, hate this product! I certainly was not expecting the product to have a liquid consistency as it's packaged in a jar and immediately upon opening it i lost almost half because it spilled out. Calling it a gel is stretch. Also left my skin feeling greasy and sticky for almost 48hrs, even after washing. Product has a nice light scent but will not be using it again.

    Overall good

    it’s a truly refreshing combo of hydration + sun protection in one scoop. The gel texture absorbs instantly, feels light and clean, and doesn’t leave any greasy or white cast behind. It layers beautifully under makeup and keeps skin soft throughout the day.
