Protect skin against solar radiation while keeping your complexion fresh and shine-free with the advanced performance of Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Dry-Touch Sunscreen Broad Spectrum SPF 55. Specially formulated for skin seeking maximum broad-spectrum sun defense without a heavy or sticky feel, this lightweight dry-touch sunscreen lotion wraps the face and body in an invisible protective veil. By combining photostable organic UV filters with Neutrogena's signature Helioplex technology, it glides across skin micro-contours effortlessly.

This dermatologist-tested sunscreen works dynamically to block deep-penetrating UVA rays and burning UVB radiation, preventing solar photo-aging and sunburn. Designed for daily facial wear and outdoor recreation, the fast-absorbing formula sets into a breathable, weightless, soft-matte finish that leaves skin feeling smooth, clean, and shielded throughout the day.

How It Works & Key Benefits

This product targets solar dehydration, photo-aging, and heavy sunscreen shine. By pairing photostable organic UV absorbers with a lipid-absorbing polymer base and Helioplex technology, it forms an invisible protective barrier over skin cells. This multi-target system halts UV-induced oxidative stress, resists water and sweat breakdown for 80 minutes, and traps excess sebum, delivering a dry-touch finish with zero heavy residue.

Core Active Ingredients & What They Do

• Avobenzone (3%), Homosalate (10%), Octisalate (5%), Octocrylene (2.8%), Oxybenzone (6%): Synergistic organic UV filter network (Helioplex) that provides photostable broad-spectrum defense against UVA and UVB rays.

• Helioplex Technology: Specialized formulation stabilizer that prevents Avobenzone from degrading under direct sunlight, ensuring long-lasting SPF 55 efficacy.

• Silica & Sebum-Absorbing Polymers: Micro-powders that trap excess skin surface lipids, maintaining a dry-touch, soft-matte texture.

• Tocopheryl Acetate (Vitamin E): Antioxidant active that neutralizes solar-induced free radicals and protects skin barrier lipids.

Formula Feel, Absorption & Delivery

The lightweight, creamy lotion vehicle spreads easily across facial and body contours without dragging or pulling thin skin tissue. As the lotion is smoothed in, the liquid phase absorbs rapidly into the upper epidermal layers, while the oil-absorbing powders and UV filters set into a flexible, non-tacky film that dries down cleanly without pilling.

Skin Barrier & Surface Finish

Formulated without heavy occlusive waxes or oils, the sunscreen respects natural skin respiration and barrier integrity. Once set, it leaves a smooth, soft-matte finish with an invisible sheen that avoids leaving a chalky white cast on skin. The lightweight surface provides an ideal, non-greasy base for makeup application.

Skin Type Suitable for all skin profiles, including normal, dry, oily, combination, and acne-prone skin types.

Concerns Solved UVA/UVB sunburn, solar photo-aging, excess surface oiliness, facial shine, sunscreen heaviness, clogged pores, and white cast.

Texture A lightweight, fast-absorbing lotion texture that sets quickly to an invisible, dry-touch, soft-matte finish.

Usage Time Optimized for daily morning (AM) use as the final step in your skincare routine or applied 15 minutes prior to outdoor sun exposure.

Compatible Routines Fits seamlessly into any daily morning skincare or sun care regimen. Apply after lightweight toners, serums, and moisturizers, functioning as both daily sun protection and a matte makeup primer before foundation or cushion compacts.

Who Should Avoid It
