What the gurus are saying

Eighty minutes of water resistance stands out as particularly valuable for active outdoor use, as reviewers specifically praise how well it protects through sweat and vigorous physical movement during hikes and athletic days. The portable serum format makes it easy to carry and apply on the go for touch-ups, and both experts appreciate its chemical sunscreen formula at SPF 60.

"This morning I'm wearing the Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Face Serum SPF 60. It says it's water resistant for eighty minutes, and I'm going to be sweating on a three and a half hour hike up a volcano, so I want to make sure I'm staying protected as long as possible. It's also very handy, I can take it with me."

"I have repurchased it so many times. It's a chemical sunscreen and there's no white cast. It has a lightweight fluid consistency and it is water resistant, which is great if you're doing water-based activities or a sport outdoors where you're sweating a lot. It's also really good for humidity and for keeping the product in place a little more, so it's less likely to run into your eyes. While it's a chemical sunscreen, for me personally it does not aggravate my eyes."

"My current everyday sunscreen is the Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Moisturizing Face Serum SPF 60. It's water resistant and fragrance-free. They updated the packaging, or I should say the labeling, but it's the same formula."

La Roche-Posay UV Air Sunscreen Serum SPF 50 Review | Worth the Price?

"One I always recommend is the Neutrogena Invisible Daily SPF 60. Not a huge difference from the 50 of this honestly, but it is also a water-resistant formula."

Do I Use Sunscreen?

"Then I finished the Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Moisturizing Face Serum SPF 60. This one is water resistant, and I absolutely love it. It has a lightweight, fluid, hydrating, moisturizing consistency, and it's not greasy. It does not have niacinamide in it, [...] so if you're sensitive to niacinamide and you're looking for a lightweight fluid formula, try this one out."

"I adore this water-resistant sunscreen [...] from Neutrogena. It's their Ultra Sheer Moisturizing Face Serum SPF 60. It's water resistant, almost like a fluid formula, and hydrating. It has no niacinamide, for those of you who are sensitive. It is a chemical sunscreen, but it does not cause blurry eyes for me, though this varies from person to person. It has zero white cast, works really well under makeup, and is perfect for humidity."

*NEW* DRUGSTORE ANTI-AGING SKIN CARE 🛍 Dermatologist @DrDrayzday

"I get a lot of sun exposure on a given day, so I wear sunscreen every single day. Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Moisturizing Face Serum SPF 60 with green tea. Green tea can help with oxidative stress from UV, and not only from UV but also from pollution, another environmental stressor that our skin is exposed to that can lead to not only premature aging but also contribute to the overall decline in skin barrier integrity. So antioxidants definitely may help."

BEST DRUGSTORE SUNSCREENS FOR THE FACE 😎 Dermatologist @DrDrayzday

"I really love the finish. It's hydrating, kind of a demi matte, and it does not look greasy or shiny. Cosmetics go on over it just fine. [...] This is a great everyday sunscreen for the face, especially for people who live in really humid climates, and it's very lightweight and fast absorbing, which is important for people who have rosacea, since heavy sunscreens can make them feel overheated and precipitate a flush."

"It does burn around the eyes unfortunately, it's a very lightweight consistency, great if you're looking for an option that's non-greasy. For around the eyes I suggest maybe using a mineral sunscreen instead because it can run into the eyes, and it burns and stings and makes your eyes blurry. It is water resistant though, this is a great option if you have oily skin, or really any skin type, [...] but it does burn in the eyes."

"The Neutrogena Invisible Daylight Sunscreen Serum was one of my 2021 sunscreen favorites. [...] Because it's water resistant, it never gave me any issues with seeping into my eyes and causing that blurry vision effect, which is miserable."

THE BEST SUNSCREENS OF 2021 @DrDrayzday

"It's good if you live somewhere humid or if you're prone to sweat since the alcohol allows for better evaporation. It has silica and aluminum starch which are helpful for absorbing excess sebum and reducing shine and oiliness, plus dimethicone to help reduce water loss and reduce shine. [...] It does have feverfew extract from chrysanthemum, so some people are allergic to that and would want to avoid this. I [...] love the fluid consistency and it works well under makeup with no cast."

"Neutrogena, are you trying to play with K Beauty right now? [...] It's good that it's an SPF 60, and it's good that it's fragrance-free. It's actually a decent product, it's just not cruelty-free or vegan, and it's expensive. Their whole claim is that it has green tea and it's amazing, but it's literally a basic sunscreen with a little bit of camellia sinensis leaf extract, which is green tea leaf extract. Boring."
