Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Body Mist Sunscreen SPF 30 Review
Hi guys,
I am using this sunscreen from the past 2 weeks now, mostly for hands and legs as it’s a body mist sunscreen. Here are my thoughts..
Claims: Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Body Mist Sunscreen SPF 30 provides powerful protection against sun damage while leaving a weightlessly invisible feeling on your skin. Formulated with clinically-proven Helioplex® Technology, it offers superior broad-spectrum protection from skin-aging UVA rays and skin-burning UVB rays.
Neutrogena is a non-greasy, oil free fast-absorbing and water resistant sunscreen that uses Dry-Touch Technology to provide an ultra-light, non-shiny finish. This weightless formula applies easily to even hard-to-reach areas and works at any angle.
It comes in this bottle with a spray nozzle, I have used spray sunscreens earlier and I thought it would be similar. I have used Avene and it was white liquid just in spray bottle. I expected this to be of the same consistency. But this is actually a watery spray.
Yes, you heard me right. It’s a watery spray just like a mist. Super easy to just spray on and blend. It is the most convenient sunscreen I have ever used. It is completely non greasy as it just like any face mist, perfect for all skin tones.
I love the soft powdery scent which lingers on for a few minutes. It is water resistant for upto 80 minutes and that’s an added bonus.
I use it on both my hands and legs. It is perfect to use for body as spray form is more convenient for body. SPF 30 sun protection might not be enough at times, and that is the only disadvantage it has. I wish they come up with SPF 50 formula in this same watery form soon.
I have no cons for this and nothing more to so, it is absolutely perfect and does what it claims, gives a weightless, clean feeling. Next time you go on a vacation and are searching for a good body sunscreen, look no further.
I highly recommend this!

Hey loves!
Hope this post finds you in best of your summer fighting spirits 😉 As the Sun is shining bright on our heads, our skin yearns for more care with products that alleviate our skin from the scorching harsh summer’s effect. So I have sorted, based on my long experience of working with them, top 5 products from Neutrogena which is a drugstore, dermatologically recommended brand!!!(I so wish if it could be available during my early teens).It has a wide range of products spread across all skin types and skin concerns. Their popularity speaks for itself so without further ado let’s find out.
1. NEUTROGENA ULTRA SHEER DRY TOUCH SUNBLOCK SPF 50 (BUY HERE for 449)
OMG! This is my Holy Grail sunscreen.
Loaded with SPF 50, water and sweat proof, mildly fragrant, gets absorbed like a dream without leaving a ghostly chalky white cast look (which other sunscreens do)
Doesn’t break out, suited for all skin tones. A must have!!!
Regular size 88ml retails at 499 INR and travel friendly size 30 ml retails at 199 INR
2. NEUTROGENA DEEP CLEAN FACIAL CLEANSER FOR OILY SKIN (BUY HERE for 301)
It’s a gel based face wash best for oily, acne prone skin (contains salicylic acid) ,oil and alcohol free making skin cleaner and calm. Maintains skin oil balance, doesn’t breakout, mildly fragrant though lathers less but that doesn’t effect its efficacy. May not suit dry skin as name suggests. It’s best at its price
Regular size 200 ml for 350 INR and travel friendly size of 50 ml at 95 INR
3. NEUTROGENA NORWEGIAN FORMULA LIP MOISTURISER (BUY HERE)
Another must have product is this lip balm which comes in a pocket friendly packaging with secure snap on cap. As it is transparent, fragrance free and has SPF 15 it is perfect for daily use. Keep lips hydrated without being heavy or giving a waxy feel, prevents tanning. Ideal for lone use or under matte lipsticks. Moreover it is PABA free. It retails for 149 INR for 4g
4. NEUTROGENA OIL FREE MOISTURIZER WITH SPF 15 (BUY HERE)
My personal favorite is this 2 in 1 product (moisturizer cum sunscreen) which is non-greasy, alcohol free and non-comedogenic with SPF 15. It absorbs into skin very quickly, consistency is just right, quantity needed is very small to cover whole of the face-a little goes along way! Perfect for oily, acne prone skin. Absolute fragrance free is an added advantage. I also adore this for the travel friendly packaging as pumping dispenser comes with the lock so its 100% spill free in your bag. In all, excellent moisturizer to wear under everyday makeup.
Retails for 349 INR for 115ml
5. NEUTROGENA DEEP CLEAN BLACKHEAD ELIMINATING DAILY SCRUB (BUY HERE for 216)
Last one to make it to top 5 is mild daily scrub, gel based with small orange granules which aid in cleaning and unclogging the pores without being harsh on skin as many other scrubs do and thus its suited for daily use. Salicylic acid being one of the ingredient makes it safe for oily acne prone skin though elimination of blackheads in Toto isn’t seen but one can feel the deep cleansing it does.
Retails for 240 for 100g of product
So these were my recommendations based on my reviews. Do let me know if these worked wonders for you as well.
Editor’s Note: I love this list and totally agree with all of these, I love the sun block and facial cleanser too. And the scrub is on my list.
CLEAN, MOISTURISE AND PROTECT. KEEP YOUR SKIN MONSOON READY!The monsoon can have adverse effects on your skin. Humidity makes your skin oily, sweaty and dull while attracting impurities, dust and pollution from the atmosphere. The skin behaves almost as irregularly as the weather. While you may have oily skin, it could tend to behave dry and vice versa. What adds to the woes is that even though the sky looks cloudy, the sun’s UV rays can cause severe damage to the skin with harmful effects in the long run. Neutrogena® brings to you the ultimate solution!

What the Company claims: A product that will get rid of the source of growing problems of skin darkening, uneven tone, hyperpigmentation, dehydration, dryness, roughness and dullness of the skin due to overexposure and ageing.
The new fortified complex in the Neutrogena® Fine Fairness® Brightening Serum in synergy with Neutrogena® Healthywhite Complex™- a white lily extract and Retinol, works from the inside out, simultaneously targeting all three elements of tone, texture and hydration to bring out lasting healthy fairness. The naturally derived White Lily extract enhances whitening from within. In addition, it effectively promotes lightening of dark spots via the effective action of Retinol in the epidermis. Double your skin’s whitening power for even-toned lasting healthy fairness. This breakthrough high penetrating formula penetrates beneath the skin surface and helps deactivate melanin production at the source for a renewed visibly brightened skin tone.

MRP: Rs. 599/- for 30ml
Its a white colored bottle with a silver top and a plastic cap. Its a pump dispensor..so quite easy to use..you need just 1 pump..or max two pumps for the entire face..but since it has retinol..many do not use it all over the face..just on dark spots or problem areas. I like using serums..some how they work better and deeper for me..than just moisturisers..
Its a light yellow colored liquid..if you have used a serum..you would know the texture..not exactly like a lotion nor like a gel..some where in between..has a sweet smell similar to all Neutrogena products..I just pat it on..and restrict it to use at night..since it has retinol..which makes the skin sensitive..if you use it at day time..make sure you use a high SPF sunscreen..
You might experience some itching for a few minutes after application coz of the retinol..do not fret..some even experienced peeling of the skin in the first week..but skin was brighter and better the next week..depends on how your skin reacts to retinol..do a test patch first if you like..
Pros:
1. Does lighten dark spots and makes the skin more even toned..but not an overnight effect..takes 2-3 weeks for the difference to show up. But if you are suffering from dark spots, you should surely give this a try.
2. Skin is more brightened when used all over..I have used it both ways..but I prefer using it on dark spots more..as I do not want to use retinol all over.
3. Non comedogenic and oil free.
4. Did not break me out..but there is some itching for a few minutes.
Overall I did like it..and the brightening effect it gives to the skin. I did not have many dark spots..but it makes the skin more even toned..if you suffer from dark spots..this might help. But I do not recommend it for dry or sensitive skin. Check out the review of Fine Fairness Brightening Mask..
