My thoughts on Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Dry Touch Sunscreen SPF50 PA+++
I bought this a long long time ago, tapi tak review review sebab tak sempat. Bought this at Watsons for around RM40+ kalau tak silap.

Ingredient list:
Here is the ingredient list. It has no alcohol in it. It uses Helioplex technology. From what I read, Helioplex is the combination of avobenzone + oxybenzone filters that makes the sunscreen stable. The UV filter used are Homosalate, avobenzone, oxybenzone, Ethylhexyl Salicylate. This is a chemical sunscreen.
Packaging and design
It comes in a 88ml white opaque plastic tube with a screwable cap. The nozzle is quite big a kena picit baik baik supaya tak terkeluar banyak. The details are printed clearly on the tube and the plastic box.
Scent
The normal sunscreen scent
Texture and formula
White creamy texture. The texture is quite thick that makes it hard to absorb kalau guna banyak.
My thoughts on Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Dry Touch Sunscreen SPF50 PA+++
My criteria for a good sunscreen is firstly, how it feels on my skin. Kalau semua elok tapi dekat my skin rasa tak best, tak best jugak kan. For my dry skin, the texture is a bit thick and rasa melekit bila guna. It has a slight whitecast and it's hard for me to adjust using this. Pakai sikit sangat, rasa tak cukup protection. Kalau pakai banyak sangat, rasa melekit pulak.
Secondly, I felt a slight burning sensation while using this. Not slightly lah. Rasa pedih jugak. It makes my skin red after using this. I'm not sure because my skin is a bit sensitive during that time or because of this sunscreen. Tried a few times, still not loving it. The scent is also a bit off for me.
The SPF and PA rating is okay for me kalau duduk Malaysia. Enough UVA and UVB protection as long as you use it properly, bukan pakai calit calit je.
The good thing is, it has no alcohol, minimal white cast and easy to get. The price is RM40+ for 88ml is quite affordable.
That's all, thanks for reading!
