Today I am going to review the Neutrogena UltraSheer Dry Touch Sunblock SPF 50+.
The major issue we all face during sunny days is tanning. We also face issues of sunburn. But we definitely can not avoid exposure to the sun, can we? The most convenient way of protecting ourselves from the sun is by using a sunscreen.

My experience
I have a very sensitive skin towards the sun. I get sunburns really easily and so I am always on the lookout for good sunscreens that have a high SPF and will protect me from the harmful rays of the sun.
I had heard so much about the Neutrogena sunscreen. I have oily skin type and so I was using the Lotus sunscreen as it is gel type and so doesnt make my skin oily or greasy. But all the bloggers were raving about this one working similarly and I thought I would give it a shot. This was voted as the holy grail product by some as well.
It has a white creamy consistency that smells pleasant. It won my heart there as I hate the smell of the Lotus one. Also, I think that the packaging of this one is much more attractive than the Lotus one. But it is slightly more expensive than the Lotus one.
It has SPF 50+ and UVA UVB protection with PA+++ which is perfect for the summers here.
Now these are almost the same points that the Lotus one also gives you. But, which one is better for oily skin?
The first time I applied it and stepped out of my house in the scorching afternoon heat, my skin started to burn. I dont blame it fully on the sunscreen, but the Lotus one never did that to me. It was irritating.
It also makes my skin oily. I generally set my skin with a compact which mattifies it down but if I dont, then it makes my skin oilier after a while.
But when I apply it, it gets absorbed in my skin really quickly and is not shiny. But since it is a white cream, I thought that it gave me some white cast. I generally like to apply a generous amount of sunscreen due to my skin issue and so if I do it with this one, it makes my skin white. The Lotus one is a colourless gel and so it doesnt do that.
So, Neutrogena or Lotus?
Well, the Neutrogena one being a creamy consistency, it also feels a little moisturizing on the skin and so might be perfect for dry skin type.
But, since I have oily skin, I choose Lotus and would suggest all the oily beauties to do the same.

- Has PA+++, SPF 50+, UVA and UVB
- Dermatologist tested
- Non comodogenic
