    I didnt experience the white cast or pilling that others have experienced. <p>My main problem with this sunscreen is that it stings when I first apply it on my face. I have a high pain threshold so...

    I have to agree with *everything* written in the review right below mine. The floral scent began to smell like unleaded gasoline (seriously, this is what it smelled like to me) after a while and...

    Uggh. I gave this one a 2 only because it has more stable protection than most U.S. sunscreens. Otherwise, yuck: 1) Intolerably strong perfumy smell that gives me a headache, 2) White chalky cast...

    I like this sunscreen. It's less greasy than other sunscreens but after application can turn a bit chalky.

    I was hoping that the reformulated Dry Touch 55 would be a step towards improving sun protection products in the U.S. (which sucks) but I was so wrong. Ultra Sheer 55 is terrible. It not only...

    It absolutely burned my skin so bad that I washed multiple times and covered my face with olive oil to stop the burning and itching. I'm still red 4 hours later and my cheeks still itch! I don't...

    I really like this sunblock for a number of reasons. First off, it gives good protection and I've never gotten a burn when wearing it. Second, it dries quickly and does not make me shiney. ...

    Yuck. Since I didn't have any problems with Neutrogena's Active Breathable SS in the past, which dried quickly and didn't leave a residue behind, I thought I would give its photostable cousin a...

    Burns alittle on application on my face, leaves some noticable white cast, is flakey, and is fragranced. I did find it fairly matte, however. Applied full 1/4tsp.

    Well, maybe this is Dry Touch if you only apply a small amount. But when I applied the full 1/4 tsp to my face, it was far from dry. In fact, it was very oily/greasy, and very whitening. It just...

    This is good as a body sunscreen, I would NEVER use it on my face because occasionly it does cause a slight burning sensation in my neck area when I first apply it. I don't care for the smell at...

    I couldn't find the new Neutrogena Age Shield sunscreen, so I settled on this. I bought it mainly for the UVA protection. Packaging is sanitary and the tube can stand up on its own, which I...

    I really love the finish on this one, it is dry and not shiny. The UVA protection is decent for a US sunscreen although inadequate for a pale person getting a lot of exposure. I use it on cloudy...

    This is a decent sunscreen. I was using Clinique Sun Care Face spf 30 prior to this, but wanted something with higher spf. The Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Dry Touch spf 55 did seem to sting when I...

    Good protection for US sunscreen. However, given that I can't apply the necessary 1/4 tsp. of sunscreen to get that protection without the sunscreen balling/pilling up on my face, I won't be...
