This is my first product review.
I am not very fond of doing reviews.But there are times when i come across products which surprise me (in a good or bad way) and it wouldn't be fair if i don't share them with you.
So here it is.
I have tried quite a few sunscreens from the pharmacy till date including those from Ranbaxy.
But i never fell in love with a sunscreen.
I likea day cream though from Olay which has an spf 15 but then it is not a complete sunscreen.
My skin is extremely acne-prone and yes, oily.So a sunscreen has to control the sweat factor in my case.
My dermatologist prescribed me this sunscreen.
Yet another sunscreen which will go unused- i thought to myself!
I have a record of not using my sunscreens till the bottom.
The price tag was also a bit shocking.
My take on the Neutrogena UltraSheer Dry Touch Sunblock SPF 50+ 88 ml:
1) Packaging- elegant.The tube material feels apt for the price. 2) Fragrance- It is the only sunscreen with a mild floral fragrance that makes you want it last forever.Doesn't smell like a traditional sunscreen at all.yayyyyyy :) 3)Texture- It looks creamy when you take it in your palm , the moment you apply it into your skin, it vanishes like water. It gives your skin a lightweight ,dewy- matte finish. Sounds like wonder- doesn't it?! Moreover, most sunscreens leave a whitish film on your face as they blend with a lot of difficulty. Neutrogena doesn't leave a trace.It gives your skin a natural glow. Especially dark complexions like mine, struggle more with that 'white-film' phenomenon, but Neutrogena solves this problem as well! I have been using this for the last one month and i have already started wishing Neutrogena never discontinues this product ever! This product not only satisfies your need for a good daily sunscreen ,but it stuns!
As for the sun protection, i think it is a long term process.Though i did notice that my tanning was not as severe as it would be without a sunscreen or with any other drugstore sunscreen. So thumbs up for that.
Sizes : 1) 88ml for Rs.450 (old stock), Rs.500 (new stock) 2) 30 ml for Rs.150
Availability: Most pharmacy shops. Also available online through Neutrogena India website with free shipping! http://www.neutrogena.in/product/ultrasheer+dry+touch+sunblock+spf+50+plus+large.do?sortby=bestSellers
Within a week of my first purchase i went on to buy a mini 30 ml tube as my purse must-have. Always remember that a sunscreen fades with sweat , so you need to reapply if you sweat like a pig :) The small tube totally comes handy if you need to carry it in your purse.
To top it all , Neutrogena ran a contest on Facebook where i won a pack of this sunscreen .Feels like its God-sent :) Can't be happier! My only request to neutrogena will be to make it more affordable in the course of time! Time for the victory dance- I have found MY HG(holy-grail) SUNSCREEN :)
P.S No photos of this sunscreen right now, as my borrowed camera is not with me :) Might update photos on request later.
Will definitely try it! Even though it's a bit high priced but a good sunscreen is absolutely necessary during hot summers!
