Nice sunscreen, use it on my body but also face
The version of this for the face is far pricier, so I went with this and use it mostly on my face. Sinks in well and isn't greasy.

Lightweight, Glowy, and Perfect for Everyday Use ☀️✨
Size: 1.7 Fl Oz (Pack of 1), Size: 1.7 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
This sunscreen is my new favorite! It’s so lightweight and smooth, and it blends right into my skin without leaving any white cast or greasy feel. I love that it gives me that natural glow while still providing serious sun protection. The SPF 60 makes me feel confident spending time outside, and it wears beautifully under makeup or on bare skin. It doesn’t clog my pores or irritate my skin, and the formula feels hydrating instead of sticky. I’ve used it for workouts, beach days, and everyday errands, and it holds up perfectly through it all. My skin still feels soft and fresh at the end of the day. It’s perfect for anyone who wants to protect their skin while keeping that healthy, radiant look. I wore it for carnival and got compliments on my skin all day. This sunscreen is definitely a must-have in my daily routine! 🌞💛

A solid choice for those seeking effective sun protection combined with hydration.
Size: 1.7 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
Neutrogena Invisible Daily Defense Face Sunscreen + Hydrating Serum is designed to offer broad-spectrum sun protection while providing hydration to the skin. Here's a detailed review of this product based on its features, performance, and user feedback: Pros: Broad-Spectrum Protection: This sunscreen provides broad-spectrum SPF 60 protection, which helps shield the skin from both UVA and UVB rays. This is crucial for preventing sunburn and long-term skin damage. Hydrating Formula: Infused with hydrating ingredients, this product acts as a serum, providing moisture and helping to keep the skin hydrated throughout the day. This is beneficial for those with dry or combination skin. Lightweight and Non-Greasy: Users often appreciate that the sunscreen has a lightweight, non-greasy texture. It absorbs quickly into the skin without leaving a heavy or sticky residue, which makes it suitable for daily use. Invisible Finish: The "Invisible" aspect of the sunscreen refers to its ability to blend seamlessly into the skin without leaving a white cast. This makes it suitable for various skin tones and types. Suitable for All Skin Types: Dermatologist-tested and designed to be non-comedogenic, it is generally safe for sensitive skin and won’t clog pores, reducing the risk of breakouts. Fragrance-Free: This product is fragrance-free, which is a significant advantage for those with sensitive skin or allergies to perfumes and artificial scents. Cons: Price: Neutrogena's products are often on the pricier side compared to some other drugstore sunscreens. While it offers added benefits, such as the hydrating serum, the cost might be a consideration for some. Size: The size of the product may be relatively small for its price, which can be a drawback for those who use sunscreen generously or frequently. Ingredient Sensitivity: While the product is designed to be suitable for sensitive skin, some individuals may still react to certain ingredients. Always check the ingredient list if you have known sensitivities. Hydration Level: While it does provide hydration, those with extremely dry skin may still need additional moisturizing products to maintain optimal skin moisture. Overall: The Neutrogena Invisible Daily Defense Face Sunscreen + Hydrating Serum is a solid choice for those seeking effective sun protection combined with hydration. Its lightweight, non-greasy formula and broad-spectrum SPF 60 make it a reliable option for daily use, especially if you prefer a sunscreen that blends invisibly into the skin. While it is on the higher end of the price spectrum and may not fully address extreme dryness on its own, its overall performance and benefits make it a valuable addition to a skincare routine.

One of the better American sunscreens
Size: 1.7 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
One of the better sunscreens you can get in the U.S. for an affordable price. Neutrogena’s facial sunscreens can be a hit or miss, but this is their better ones. I’m used to using Asian sunscreens that feel like a light moisturizer or serum on the face so I’ve been spoiled. It’s nice to find an American sunscreen that is spf 50+ with no white cast that also feels lightweight, non-greasy, and doesn’t sting my eyes. This sunscreen fits the bill. I used four pumps of product to cover my face to get proper coverage. I could have used a little more tbh. The serum is a very light beige and a bit watery in texture. It blends out invisible as advertised. The finish is shiny and a little greasy looking at first, I’ll admit, but it dries down to a natural finish. I did use a Korean toner pad before applying the sun serum. The end result with the Neutrogena sun serum is a natural finish with a subtle healthy glow in 70 degree weather. It does sting my eyes when I sweat or exercise though. One star off for that. Also it does not pill under makeup.
