Good one!
It feels lightweight, absorbs quickly, and doesn’t leave a greasy feeling or white cast. It’s water-resistant and works great for long days outdoors or at the beach. The high SPF gives excellent sun protection without irritating my skin. Definitely a reliable sunscreen I’d recommend

Great sun protection for sensitive skin
I have loved and used this sunscreen for years. It works great for my sensitive skin. It protects well against the sun, but does leave skin feeling a little bit greasy. Still love and would re purchase.

Non greasy sunscreen
This a good sunscreen lotion for skin protection. However, it can run if wet or sweating to get into your eyes if used on face. Drugs nicely once applied and does not feel greasy on skin.

Good choice
Lightweight SPF 70 spray that absorbs fast, protects well during swimming and sun exposure, and applies evenly. Holds up in heat and water, though it can feel slightly drying on sensitive skin.

Sunscreen.
Sunscreen. Unscented, doesn't leave white streaks. Absorbs well. Provides reliable protection from the sun's rays. Doesn't make the skin greasy. Suitable for sensitive skin. Beautiful yellow plastic bottle. Yellow like the sun. I use it every day, not just in the summer. Sun rays cause a lot of damage to my skin—age spots, freckles. But this cream helps me a lot.

White marks
This gives great protection but it leaves white marks. No matter how much I rub it into skin I feel like there will always be whites marks like my skin isn’t absorbing it well. Other than that it worked great!

💛 Why I Love It • SPF 70 Power: Protects your skin from UVA/UVB rays, helping prevent sunburn and early aging. • Water-Resistant (up to 80 mins): Perfect for swimming, beach fun, or any outdoor activity. • Lightweight & Fast-Absorbing: Doesn’t feel sticky, perfect for daily use. ⚠️ A Few Tiny Notes • For Non-Oily Skin: May feel a bit shiny if your skin is very oily. • Not a Substitute for Specialized Sunscreens: Great for everyday outdoor activities but for swimming or heavy sweating, pair with a water-resistant sunscreen if needed.

Great for a day on the water!
This will definitely stay on you for a while, even in the water as long as you’ve let it dry for 15 min! Great for sun protection, but I no longer use as the chemical sunscreen ingredients are irritating and not good for hormones. The packaging is easy to use!

He is my ally
What can I say, Neutrogena knows what they are doing. They make a great product that does not irritate our skin, but provides good sun exposure coverage. Did you know that you are supposed to use almost a full shot glass full (Measurement for applying to the whole body) of sunscreen when you apply it to your body? Also, you need to reapply it after swimming and after sweating every 1.5 hours or so. Yes, it can be pricey and you can go through it quickly, but the cost of some SPF 70 sunscreen is much more affordable than getting skin cancer and having parts cut out of your skin, or worse. This has a nice scent, goes on easily and does not remain tacky.

Good enough!
This is my go-to body sunscreen for summertime. It smells good, and it covers and protects well. My only complaint is that it feels pretty greasy and stays that way for the entirety of the wear.

Light weight non greasy
Neutrogena Besch Defense is my go to sunscreen for summer. It goes on super smooth, doesn’t feel greasy, and gives great protection, even when I’m in and out of the water. I love that it absorbs quickly and doesn’t leave the heavy white residue like some other brands. It really holds up during long days outside, and the scent is light and clean. Definitely a must have for beach days or any time. I’m out in the sun.

Protection for Your Skin with Neutrogena
Neutrogena is a brand I always trust in sun protection, and Neutrogena Beach Defense SPF 70 is always in my beach bag. It goes on easily with a lightweight lotion and fast absorption. Plus, it is water resistant up to 80 minutes. When we are outside or at the pool, I love knowing we have a reliable SPF 70 on. Thank you Neutrogena ❤️
