Hence, Neutrogena's Sensitive Skin Sunblock Lotion SPF 30.
I received this product during a health fair sponsored by my school about a month ago. I really liked it ostensibly because (1) it seemed to be targted toward sensitive skin and (2) it had an SPF of 30.
Ingredients, according to drugstore.com:
Active Ingredients: Titanium Dioxide (9.1%)
Inactive Ingredients: Water, C12 15 Alkyl Benzoate, Neopentyl Glycol Dioctanoate, Glycerin, Potassium Cetyl Phosphate, Isopropyl C12 15 Pareth 9 Carboxylate, Cetearyl Alcohol, Phenoxyethanol, Steareth 21, Tocopherol (Natural Vitamin E), Calcium Pantothenate (Vitamin B5), Camellia Olefifera (Green Tea) Extract, Panthenol, BHT, Neopentyl Glycol Diisostearate, Aluminum Hydroxide, Iron Hydroxide, Steareth 2, Stearic Acid, Trimethylolpropane Triethylhexanoate, Acrylates/C10 30 Alkyl Acrylate Crosspolymer, Disodium EDTA, Carbomer, Butylene Glycol, Triethanolamine, Butylparaben, Methylparaben, Isopropylparaben, Isobutylparaben
Thus, I used this product for a week before making judgment on it.
So, how did I think of it?
Pros:
- Provides UVA and UVB protection
- Provides lightweight coverage
- Didn't feel heavy
- SPF 30 - meets minimum FDA suggestions
Cons:
- Gives a WHITE CAST. Meaning, that I turned about 2-3 shades lighter. I swear I thought I was a vampire from a Twilight movie!
- Kind of peeled off if I touched my skin with water during the first 15-20 min after application.
- Stung my eyes when doing eye makeup.
- Is titanium dioxide, which doesn't provide as much protection as zinc oxide.
Still searching for that new great sunscreen!
