Ultra Sheer Mineral Sunscreen Stick SPF 50, 1.5 oz

Spreads so easy - the big deodorant dispenser looks weird but it takes fewer swipes. Is soft and you can see where you applied. Must rub it in though. Dries down matte - excellent formula. Spreads easily and sets very quickly. Blurring effect is nice on my old wrinkled face. Not drying or tightening of skin feeling - comfortable and never heavy or tacky unless it’s more than 2 reapplications. Gets too white too. Slight cast but a LOT less than others. It takes more than 2 layers on me (Mac NC 20-25) I think this one is it. Not hard and chalky, agreeable haze but the finish is dry and pores are smoothed over. If they ever made a tinted stick like this I’d feel like I’ve won the lottery

Took this on a two week road trip and never got burned. It did go a bit crumbly around the edges but retracting the bar prevented that. Did cause breakouts on my face but I'll take that over burns any day.

This is the best sunscreen I’ve ever used. I have Rosacea and very sensitive skin and it doesn’t give me watery eyes or make me break out. I’ve been using it for a long time. A little goes a long way AND you should spread it out gently with your fingers. If you put too much on, you can get a white cast. You can dab off any excess with a paper towel and rub it in a little more. It’s mineral sunscreen, so it can be hard to remove, but using micellar liquid makeup remover and cotton rounds, it’s VERY easy and doesn’t cause irritation. If you scrub too hard with wipes or a face cloth, or don’t get it all off, it will cause irritation.

I really liked the Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Face Stick Sunscreen, so I thought I would give this a try. The face sunscreen stick is a more clear/translucent application, easy for on the go and reapplications. However this is very white and left a ghostly appearance on my face, I had to rub it in a lot in order for it to look like a white cast, rather than ghostly. It did its job even through the humidity and sweat, but I will definitely use the face stick for my face rather than this one.

Put on before you sweat and no issues with it getting in your eyes. Best face product I have found for the River, yard work and riding SXS.

Leaves a very white cast, and is not dry touch at all. Not a bad product, but if you’re buying it to use as your everyday sunscreen, I would not recommend. Good for going to the beach or somewhere you won’t mind being a bit white because of it, haven’t gotten sunburnt using it for a long time at the pool. Feels waterproof, good for fair skin because ends up having both chemical and physical protection against the sun.

Finding good sunscreen is a challenge and it’s not just the SPF or sun protection factor that is difficult. Oily sprays are challenging to work with and even when rubbing in many of the creams, they were only great for pool days since I’d find my clothes or flip flop straps would stain yellow. I don’t like to have to strategically and meticulously plan my sunscreen so I wanted one that fits in my daily routine. This was recommended by a dermatologist and I don’t know how I lived without it. I use it on both face and body and there is a ton of product. It lasts so long and I feel protected. Especially when driving, you don’t know how damaged your arms can get! Protect your body and your sanity, this stuff is worth it as a “put it on and forget about it.” Yay for sun protection! Must-have. Not even sure how it does it, but it also prevents excessive sweating in areas where I’ve applied it, so reapplication often isn’t necessary like the creams and sprays. A pleasant, unexpected “plus.”

My use case: A sand volleyball tournament that goes from 9am in the morning till 6pm at night in the summer Texas sun. My primary concerns: prevents sunburn, doesn't get in my eyes when sweating. I'm not overly concerned with how well this sunscreen blends in - I don't want an opaque white paste on my face, but I'm also a sweaty sandy mess, so appearance isn't my top priority. For reference, I'm white but tan easily. This sunscreen stick works well for this purpose! I can sweat profusely as you would expect, but there is no stinging in my eyes like I get with chemical sunscreens. It also has broad spectrum protection against UVA and UVB including long wave UVA. If you want a daily sunscreen to prevent aging that appears invisible, this may not be for you. But if you want a good sports sunscreen for face that won't irritate eyes, this is it!

It leaves a white cast so you have to use your hands to spread it like using a lotion sunscreen. I have sensitive skin and it made me break out just after few days of using it.

Deja una capa blanca en la piel al aplicar, yo la desvanezco un poco con las manos pero si eres de piel blanca no se nota tanto. Muy buena calidad y protección para piel sensible. Tiene buena duración.

The product arrived already used.

Es muy bueno, dejá una pequeña capa blanca, pero con los minutos se desvanece, es de fácil aplicación.

Probé los protectores solares en barra de Neutrogena Sheer Zinc y Ultra Sheer, y también los comparé con el Beach Defense Stick. ✔️ Textura y sensación: El Sheer Zinc me gustó más porque deja una sensación empolvada y nada grasosa. El Ultra Sheer también funciona, pero deja una capa blanca más marcada. Eso sí, ambos son mucho más ligeros y nada grasientos comparados con el Beach Defense Stick. ✔️ Aplicación sobre maquillaje: Me sorprendió lo bien que sirven para retocar el protector solar sin mover el maquillaje. Al ser minerales, funcionan reflejando los rayos UVA/UVB sin necesidad de absorberse en la piel (por eso recomiendo sticks minerales para retoques y no los químicos, a menos que se apliquen en piel limpia). ✔️ Resultados en piel: Tengo piel acneica y la primera vez que los usé me salieron granitos, pero en los siguientes usos ya no tuve problema. ✔️ Protección: Los probé con cámara UV y la cobertura es bastante buena. El Ultra Sheer protege un poco más porque queda más visible, mientras que el Sheer Zinc se retira más fácil, lo que puede significar perder protección si no eres constante con los retoques. 📌 Conclusión: Ambos son buenos y cumplen, la elección depende de tus preferencias: Sheer Zinc: más agradable al tacto y menos blanco. Ultra Sheer: mayor cobertura visible pero un poco más pesado. Dejo también un video donde muestro cómo aplicarlos y cómo se ven en cámara UV para que se aprecie la diferencia.
