Summary of reviews

The Neutrogena Mineral Ultra Sheer Dry Touch SPF 30 sunscreen is praised for its lightweight, non-greasy formula that provides effective sun protection without irritating sensitive skin. Many guests appreciate its smooth application and minimal scent. However, some guests report a noticeable white cast and pilling, especially on darker skin tones.

    I use anti aging products on my face and need to use a daily spf, but I wanted a pregnancy safe spf. This does the trick! I apply this before my make up for the day and it protects my skin, and it gives me good hydration! I love that I don’t feel like I’m damaging my skin using this product. I don’t find that it leaves my face looking white or anything, personally.

    I bought this two weeks ago and i got the worst reaction ever. White cast, thick, smells weird, takes too long to absorb into skin, strange reaction to my makeup primer, the worst acne ive had in 2 years, even in unusual spots like my temples. Do not buy this

    White chalky film

    I usually enjoy Neutrogena products. First time buying the Mineral Ultra Sheer Dry-Touch SPF 30 a week ago because it checked every criteria for my sensitive skin. Seems like a fine product at first (not greasy, light and smooth, no perfume...) but I honestly don't understand how other reviewers can say that it does not leave a white cast, and I already have pale skin. I tried different tactics: using a little or more, hydrating my skin before use, rubbing a little or more, tapping it in instead of rubbing, waiting for it to sink in, but it still looks like chalk on my face. I looked at myself in the mirror at work and it made me look like a ghost. I Will unfortunately not be able to use it.

    I was so disappointed with this face sunscreen because it pills and leaves a white cast. It doesn’t look good with or without makeup.

    This sunscreen left a white residue that stayed on my skin for days despite washing it with soap and water. It does not mix well after rubbing it in for a long time. After awhile it even pills and flakes off. The only thing that was good was that I didn’t get sunburnt.

    Not good - 2 years ago, Verified purchaser
    I dont understand why this pills so much! I am applying it in small amounts and rubbing into dry, bare skin but it makes me look like I have dandruff all over! It is a shame because it did not irritate my sensitive skin and for that I gave 1 star but it is unwearable. The pilling is awful and a deal breaker for me. :(

    Horrible white cast. Impossible to rub in. I have very fair skin and the white cast on this is as bad, if not worse, than zinc sunscreen for babies. Not sheer at all.

    I've had the hardest time finding an affordable non-tinted daily mineral sunscreen that doesn't make me look like a ghost and doesn't feel disgusting. This goes on VERY white at first, but after a minute or so of blending, and after about 15 minutes of drying looks and feels beautiful. For me, there is only the slightest white cast and it wears off quickly. I have SUPER sensitive skin and am allergic to all chemical sunscreens. I also have a skin barrier that was somewhat damaged the first day I tried this and there was absolutely no stinging on the skin or in the eyes. I normally have stinging with normal gentle moisturizer when my skin barrier is damaged. This caused no issue at all. I am prone to breakouts and have had no problems with this. I was using the hero sunscreen before - at twice the price. It was the closest other affordable option for me. The finish and coverage on this is so much better. And I think the cast is less. Go buy it so Neutrogena will keep making it!! I wear it without makeup, so I can't speak to how it works under that, but give this a try - especially since it's affordable and you get 3 full ounces for the price!

    Not Sheer At All

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This left an annoying white film on my skin even after several minutes of rubbing it in. I was very disappointed. In addition, it was really difficult to get off and my skin did not feel moisturized using this product. It doesn’t seem to be designed for more melanated skintones. My complexion is more like a toasted almonds and or light brown soo I would definitely not recommend for some of my more deeply melanated friends. It was disappointing because I was excited that it was a mineral based sunscreen which I like and claimed to be ultra sheer which it was not.

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love the consistency of this formula. It glides on very nice and absorbs without feeling heavy or sticky. I didn’t notice any flashback or white cast. It also wore great under makeup and didn’t cause any irritations.

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have very sensitive skin and need to take very careful care against sun damage. Of course, my work desk faces south. I’m really glad I got this sunscreen sample. I slather it in on and I know despite the full onslaught of sun rays, I’m protected. I don’t see a change in my skin (like tanning because of sun exposure) or adverse affects like clogged pores because of the sunscreen use. I call this sunscreen a clear WIN for my situation!

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Neutrogena Mineral Ultra Sheer Dry Touch Sunscreen Lotion is just amazing. It is 30 SPF, super lightweight, and leaves my skin feeling clean and nourished. It doesn't leave my skin feeling oily or greasy. It is water resistant for 80 minutes. It contains 0 chemical actives and doesn't bother my sensitive skin at all which is amazing. It has 100% mineral actives plus vitamin E. This is now my favorite and go to sunscreen lotion.

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I loved this mineral ultra sheer sunscreen lotion. It goes on really light and almost weightless. It’s shear so it doesn’t change your foundation color should you choose to wear any and it gives you 30 spf sunscreen protection.

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love this product!! This sunscreen is really effective and doesn’t irritate my sensitive skin. It soothes and calms my skin, unlike some sunscreens. I love how it is so lightweight and not greasy like other sunscreens can be.
