Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Dry-Touch Sunscreen SPF 45 — 2-Pack (2 x 3 fl oz), Lightweight Matte, 80-Min Water-Resistant

Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Dry-Touch Sunscreen Lotion SPF 45 is a lightweight, fast-absorbing sunscreen that delivers broad spectrum UVA/UVB protection with a matte, non-greasy finish.

Designed for everyday sun coverage and active outdoor use, this two-pack of 3 fl oz bottles combines Helioplex technology with antioxidant vitamin E in an oil-free, non-comedogenic formula. The lotion dries to a soft-touch matte feel so it layers well under makeup and won’t clog pores. Each bottle is water-resistant for up to 80 minutes, making the set convenient for travel, gym bags, and on-the-go protection.

How does this sunscreen feel on skin and layer with makeup?

The Ultra Sheer Dry-Touch formula is created to absorb rapidly and leave a smooth, dry finish rather than a shiny or greasy film. Because it’s oil-free and non-comedogenic, it’s suitable for use under cosmetics and won’t add excess shine. Users typically find it primes the skin without pilling when applied properly.

• Fast-absorbing dry-touch texture
• Matte finish that reduces shine
• Compatible under foundation and daily moisturizers
• Non-comedogenic to help minimize pore clogging

What kind of protection does SPF 45 with Helioplex provide?

SPF 45 shields skin from sunburn-causing UVB rays while Helioplex stabilizes the formula for ongoing UVA defense that helps protect against longer-term photodamage. The broad spectrum label means the product is formulated to address both UVB and UVA wavelengths. Regular application and reapplication are required to maintain the claimed level of protection.

• SPF 45 for high daily sun protection
• Helioplex technology stabilizes UVA protection
• Broad spectrum coverage for UVA and UVB
• Reapply every 2 hours and after water exposure

Is this sunscreen suitable for swimming and outdoor activities?

This Neutrogena sunscreen offers water resistance for up to 80 minutes, making it appropriate for pool time, beach days, and sweaty workouts. Water resistance reduces immediate wash-off but doesn’t make the product waterproof, so reapplication is still necessary after towel drying or extended water exposure. The compact 3 fl oz bottles are TSA-friendly for travel to outdoor destinations.

• Water-resistant up to 80 minutes during activity
• Reapply after swimming, sweating, or towel drying
• Convenient 3 fl oz bottles for travel and carry-ons
• Lightweight for sports and active days outdoors

What ingredients and skin sensitivities should I be aware of?

The formula is oil-free, oxybenzone-free, and PABA-free, and it includes vitamin E as an antioxidant to help nourish skin. It is labeled non-comedogenic to reduce the risk of pore blockage, but anyone with very sensitive or reactive skin should do a patch test and consult a dermatologist if concerned about specific ingredients. Always follow label directions for safe use.

• Free of oxybenzone and PABA
• Oil-free and non-comedogenic
• Contains vitamin E for antioxidant support
• Patch test recommended for highly sensitive skin
