Experts and users have mixed opinions about Neutrogena's new Wet Skin Sunblock Spray, which is designed to adhere to wet skin with no need to towel off before applying it. The formula, which comes in three different strengths (and a kids' version), earns several awards from beauty magazines for its ingenuity.
Users at Amazon.com, on the other hand, aren't as enthusiastic. We saw several complaints of sunburn, despite reapplying the formula several times. Bad experiences could be the result of user error, but there were enough poor user reviews to keep us from recommending Wet Skin as a Best Reviewed product. Based on our research, Coppertone Sport High Performance Sunscreen Clear Continuous Spray SPF 30 (*Est. $9.75 for 6 oz.) is a better spray-on option.

Paula Begoun says that Neutrogena Wet Skin is an "intriguing way to apply sunscreen." She says it's a good option for people who swim, even though she says that none of the options are ideal for young kids because they contain chemical actives. She also warns that the formula contains a high amount of alcohol, which can be drying and irritating to skin.
