Texture:non no white cast at all Got lots of freebies..Thank you so much Keihl's..The Sunscreen feels lightweight and absorbs quickly. It's my 2nd bottle already. I do not experience irritations or discomfort with this product unlike others i tried; it's non-greasy and do not feel heavy. I love it most importantantly because I do not break out since I have oily sensitive acne prone skin.Badly need marj_1975 · shopee.ph

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
