Product summary

The ingredient list suggests that "Neutrogena - Clear Face Oil-Free Sunscreen SPF 55" can provide reliable sun protection. We love that it can protect from both UVA and UVB rays (not all sunscreens with SPF ratings give UVA protection. UVA rays do not cause sunburn, but still damage our skin and lead to early aging).

Because it includes good moisturizing ingredients, it can also work as a hydrating day cream.

Sunscreen filters

This sunscreen uses so-called "chemical", or organic UV filters (organic simply means that their molecules contain atoms of carbon). These filters typically give good sun protection and rarely leave a white cast, but they can be irritating for sensitive skin. These are the sun protection ingredients in this sunscreen: oxybenzone 3.30% - 4.90%, avobenzone 22.00% - 34.00%, octisalate 4.60% - 6.80%, homosalate 4.60% - 6.90% and octocrylene 3.90% - 5.90%.

Irritation risk

It contains some common irritants, including those without a benefit for the skin. We assess the overall irritancy of this sunscreen to be medium. For a detailed overview of all potential irritants: click here
