What the gurus are saying

This spray sunscreen earns praise for being convenient to reapply on the body, with its oil-based formula making it practical for that purpose. However, experts split on overall enthusiasm, one dermatologist notes the oil base works well for body reapplication but stops short of a full endorsement, while another finds both the spray and stick formats genuinely effective.

"I really love the Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Dry Touch Sunscreen Spray. Now here's the thing with sunscreen sprays, you have to use them correctly. You're either going to spray them directly onto your body and then massage it into your skin with your hand so that way you're not going to miss any areas. You got to be spraying right because you want to make sure that you are getting adequate sun protection."

"Neutrogena has their spray sunscreen out and their sticks now. These are actually really good. They do have fragrance."

What the evidence says.

Independent of what the gurus think, this is what the published research supports about the main active ingredients here.

Retinoids

Retinoids are among the best studied ingredients in dermatology, with solid evidence for acne and for the fine lines and rough texture that come from sun exposure. Dryness and flaking in the first few weeks are common and usually settle.

Vitamin C

Topical vitamin C is an antioxidant with reasonable evidence for dullness and uneven tone. It breaks down in light and air, so how a product is formulated and packaged matters as much as the percentage on the front.

Sunscreen filters

Sun protection is the best evidenced way to slow visible ageing, and the filters are what does the work. Mineral and chemical filters both protect when a product is applied thickly enough and often enough, which is where most people fall short rather than on the choice of filter.
