FAQs

Neutrogena® Ultra Sheer® sunscreens are designed to deliver powerful sun protection formulas that feel light, clean, and breathable on your skin. Ultra Sheer® products use our advanced Helioplex® to help your SPF stay strong and effective in the sun, so you get reliable UVA and UVB protection — even at higher SPFs. In simple terms, it helps your sunscreen stay stable and protective while still feeling lightweight and comfortable all day.


If you want an everyday body sunscreen that feels clean and disappears quickly, try Neutrogena® Ultra Sheer® Dry‑Touch Sunscreen SPF 55 — one of our classic, fast‑absorbing favorites

No — Ultra Sheer® sunscreens are designed to go on smooth and matte, so your skin feels soft and dry‑to‑the‑touch, not oily.

UVA rays are the ones that contribute to uneven tone, fine lines, and dark spots, so having strong UVA protection is key for keeping your skin looking healthy and radiant. Ultra Sheer® formulas are developed to deliver high UVA protection that helps defend against sun‑induced discoloration and visible aging.

If you want maximum protection for areas prone to dark spots — like your face, neck, and hands — Ultra Sheer® Dry-Touch Broad Spectrum Max SPF 100+ Body Sunscreen offers optimal broad-spectrum protection, in a non-greasy formula.

Absolutely. If your skin tends to react to sunscreens, a mineral formula can be a gentle choice. Ultra Sheer® mineral sunscreens use naturally sourced zinc oxide and titanium dioxide to protect your skin with a clean, non‑whitening finish.

For sensitive or reactive skin, try Ultra Sheer® Mineral Face Liquid Sunscreen SPF 70, which dries clear and feels comfortable even on sensitive skin.

For long days outside, you want a sunscreen that stays put. Ultra Sheer® offers water‑ and sweat‑resistant formulas that keep protecting even when you’re active.

If you’re running, swimming, or spending a lot of time in the sun, Ultra Sheer® Body Mist SPF 45 gives easy, even, lightweight coverage — perfect for reapplying on the go.
