    Here I am a week after using this for the first time on my face, arms, neck and chest, and I'm still covered in hives. I am not a person with any allergies other than mild pollen allergies. I broke...

    Its Zinc it is going to be thick; itis going to be white there is no getting around it. A sunscreen that says it is zinc oxide and clear is lying and won't protect like true zinc oxide. With that...

    This does not want to blend into the skin. I am very fair and I feel like it just sits on my skin. It looks weird and collects in certain areas. This also has quite a white cast. I haven't felt any...

    I have dry sensitive skin that’s acne prone, and this is the first sunscreen that hasn’t broke me out, dried out my skin or made me itchy! Also sits well under my make up

    It's a passable zinc sunscreen that gets itchy the longer I have it on. I got this to put on mornings after retinoid use, to avoid extra irritation. (Otherwise I go with something that works better...

    This is a product that makes me wonder, "What were they thinking?" It's called "Sheer Zinc Dry-Touch Sunscreen" but there is absolutely nothing sheer or dry about it. It's thick, nearly impossible...

    Sticky, thickly and eye irritating, be careful if you have oily and sensitive skin.

    I don't understand the bad reviews. This is a terrific sunscreen. It is a high percentage of zinc, I don't expect it to be as elegant as some other formulations I have tried at higher price points....

    This is honestly one of the worst sunscreen i have ever used. Its so thick and difficult to spread. By the time i have sort of spreaded it out, my face is all red and irritated. Furthermore, it...

    Bought this after heavily researching a sunscreen that had no Avobenzone in it since it seems to irritate my skin. I also wanted something with a high zinc percentage compared to titanium...

    The other reviewers are right - this formula is thick and hard to spread. I wish Neutrogena would spend more time perfecting the formula. However, this has a very high percentage of zinc oxide,...

    Awful. The very stiff, heavy formula would not rub in, so I still got that dreaded white cast. (If you put this on your arm and rub it in with great force and repeatedly, it will dissappear...

    It never dries down matte. Feel tacky and glides off from the skin. Also this left white cast. I'm around NC20-NC25. For reference I apply 1.25 ml to the face only. Would not recommend

    Sheer? Don't be fooled. I've started calling this my "mime makeup." I get a giggle out of putting this on at first because when I smear this thick, paint-like sunscreen on my face at first, it...

    You have to really rub this in or it leaves a white cast, but other than that it's fine. I use it on my forehead and under my eyes because it doesn't sting. Then I use a different sunscreen...

    Yes it leaves a white cast because of high zinc oxide percentage. However, zinc oxide is the best defense against uva 1 and 2 which isn’t covered by many other sunscreens. I wear this sunscreen...

    This stuff is terrible. It never blends in, leaves a white cast, and is thick and paste-y. Also very drying and gritty. If you want a better Zinc based sunscreen, try the Alba Botanical.
