This is a fairly good sunscreen from Neutrogena. I like the consistency. It feels hydrating and cool on the skin. I'm not too fond of the product having fragrance in it, but it is pleasant and doesn't...Read more

This is a pretty good Western dupe of my HG sunscreen, Nivea Sun Protect Super Water Gel SPF 50. The pros are that it's more easily accessible in Western countries, and there's a way bigger quantity o...Read more

This is fine for a body sunscreen but I can't use it on my face because over time it runs and stings my eyes (gets worse if I'm sweating). Too bad, because I like how it absorbs quickly, dries matte-t...Read more

If a sunscreen is not pleasant to use, I won't, no matter how effective it is. This new one from Neutrogena is good- feels comfortable going on, smells nice and works alone and under makeup. After dai...Read more

While I really enjoy the way this works under my makeup, a few things have caused me to discontinue. It burns my eyes so so bad I couldn't wear it with my contacts in. Also, after the 3rd day of use, ...Read more

I wanted to love this. I adore the Hydro Boost line (I use the gel moisturizer religiously). I heard it was an okay dupe for Biore's Watery Essence sunscreen (which I also use), so I figured, why not?...Read more

I bought this as a lightweight gel sunscreen alternative to Biore UV Milk, which worked fine as a sunscreen but has a silicone texture that I didn’t like. I’m now on my second tube. The Hydro Boost i...Read more
