“This is the only sunscreen I use on my young children. The Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Dry-Touch SPF 55 is lightweight, non-greasy, and doesn't leave that sticky residue that so many other sunscreens do. It goes on easily, dries quickly, and holds up well even with summer sweat and beach days. I love that it provides broad-spectrum protection on my nearly see-through kids, and it gives me peace of mind” — Des · bjs.com
