Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Dry-Touch Sunblock SPF 30
Best sunscreen
- High-quality UVA/UVB protection
- Water resistant
- Lightweight, nongreasy
- Doesn't contain Helioplex
- May irritate sensitive skin
Experts say Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Dry-Touch Sunblock is the best sunscreen overall. It contains avobenzone and oxybenzone for protection against short- and long-wave UVA rays, which can cause long-term skin damage. The SPF 30 version of Ultra Sheer Dry-Touch is unscented, contains antioxidants, and reviewers say it doesn't feel too thick and heavy.
Consumers commenting at MakeupAlley.com show a slight preference for the SPF 30 and SPF 45 formulas because they don't feel as heavy as the SPF 55 and higher formulas. However, these sunscreens don't contain Helioplex, as the higher SPF formulas do. Helioplex is patented formula from Neutrogena that claims to provide more stable, long lasting protection than avobenzone alone. Still, experts say that reapplying the sunscreen every couple of hours (as is recommended with every sunscreen) assures stability and adequate protection.
The best review of Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Dry-Touch Sunblock SPF 30 comes from skin-care expert Paula Begoun. At her website, Beautypedia.com, she shares her opinion of this and other sunscreens, based on scientific research. InStyle magazine compares dozens of sunscreens and other beauty products for their annual beauty awards. User reviews at MakeupAlley.com and Drugstore.com are more subjective, but give good insights into overall consumer opinion.

Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Dry-Touch Sunblock SPF 85 is named the best body sunscreen of 2011 by InStyle magazine; editors praise the "weightless" formula, which stays put and doesn't run into eyes. The SPF 30 formula was chosen in 2010. It's recommended for people who don't like to wear sunscreen because of its lightweight, nongreasy feel.
