Neutrogena Ultimate Sport Face, SPF 70, 2.5 Ounce

I'm a dermatologist who likes to run sprints as an exercise. I've tested a bunch of sunscreens because so many burn my eyes when I run. My eyes are quite forgiving with this sunscreen. That being said, I noticed a few other reviewers whose eyes have burned.In my opinion, they are probably just unlucky to be sensitive to this sunscreen. In short, some people will have eyes that burn and some won't. This applies for all sunscreens. You've got to find one that you tolerate. The same rationale applies for rashes or acne.

I recommend different sunscreens for different purposes. This one happens to be a little heavy for daily use but it does the job during exercise as well as any that I've tried. In case you're interested, I apply it ridiculously thick about 45 minutes before I go out.I look like a freak around the house but it gets absorbed by the time I step out the door. I recommend reapplying every two hours. For swimmers, reapply every 30 minutes if possible because "waterproof" laboratory testing is done in a bathtub. It's a lot different in the pool or the ocean.

On the technical side, "Helioplex" refers to photo-stabilization, which means that it resists breaking down when the sun hits it. Yes, you heard right--many sunscreens break down in sunlight!

One more word of advice not related to this sunscreen, so I can feel I'm honoring Hippocrates and his oath:Even the best sunscreens are not perfect in filtering or blocking ultraviolet light. So try to go out after 4 PM in the summer.Or, if you prefer, get out there at 6 AM and be back home by 9 AM.If you're a hiker, get a hat with wide rims from Sun Precautions or another company called Sunday Afternoons. They also sell shirts that block ultraviolet light and cool you off. I would post their websites but Amazon doesn't allow links on these reviews.

Last thing--Like all dermatologists, I get a bunch of sunscreens for free from manufacturers.But I buy Neutrogena Sport Face with my own money for my workouts on the track.

I use it everyday. Why would you not want to protect your skin everyday(other than for concern over oxybenzone) and why wouldn't you want it to be oil-free and sweatproof? Don't you want it to stay on if you HAPPEN to go for a run, or to the gym, or until you take a shower, especially if it feels light?

Pros: High SPF(though supposedly the FDA is going to put a stop to any labeling over 30)

Stabilizing formula(Helioplex)

Not very fragrant

Dries fast

Not oily or shiny

Not white

Cons: pricey

oxybenzone

I bought Neutrogena Ultimate Sport Face Sunblock Lotion, SPF 70 for my VERY fair daughter who decided she wanted to play Water Polo this summer.She burns very easily.This sunscreen has not only been very effective keeping her from getting sunburned, it seems to be highly water resistent as well.We also like that it does not clog pores and cause breakouts.

I have breakouts everyday. My skin is also super sensitive. I live up at my cottage the whole Summerand the worst thing about suncreen is it getting into your eyes after swimming. I have used this sunblock for 2 years now and it is the ONLY sunscreen that won't sting your eyes, and cause them to burn. When they say it "won't clog pores", they really mean it. I am very scared about getting sun cancer, and this is the only sunscreen I feel confident in wearing. It's not greasy.. and I only apply twice a day. Never got one burn yet!

I am in my late 20's with hormonal acne prone skin.I am very careful about what products I put on my face.I cannot use Neutrogena Ultimate Sport Face.It will give me cystic acne breakouts every time I use it. I now use Elta MD products.Their Sport product only has 50 spf but I make sure to wear a hat when I am out and reapply frequently.I get far fewer breakouts using Elta MD: EltaMD UV Sport SPF 50

Thanks for taking the time to read my review, and I hope you found it helpful in making a purchase decision.
