What is Neutrogena Ultra-Sheer Invisible Oil Control Sunscreen SPF 50+ used for?
Does your skin start to shine by noon? Are you hesitant to apply sunscreen for fear that it will clog your pores and ruin your makeup? This sunscreen has been specially formulated to address these common concerns for combination to oily skin, which can sometimes be sensitive.
This high-performance sunscreen offers broad-spectrum SPF 50+ protection, effective against UVB rays—which cause sunburn—and long-wave UVA rays—which cause skin aging—as well as against visible light and air pollution. Thanks to its Helioplex SL technology, the filters are photostable—meaning they don’t break down in the sun. The result: skin that’s better protected against external aggressors, summer and winter alike.
Do you have shiny skin, visible pores, or blemishes? The formula of this sunscreen goes far beyond a simple UV barrier. Enriched with niacinamide, a recognized sebum-regulating active ingredient, it acts as a daily skincare treatment to visibly improve skin texture. Pores appear less enlarged, shiny areas are minimized, and blemishes are reduced—all without drying out the skin.
The addition of trehalose, a protective plant-based sugar, helps maintain optimal hydration levels, even during prolonged sun exposure. Unlike some sunscreens that dry out the skin or leave an occlusive film, this formula preserves the skin’s suppleness and provides long-lasting comfort.
As for natural antioxidant protection, the vitamin C + vitamin E duo strengthens the skin against oxidative stress caused by UV rays and fine particulate matter. These two active ingredients are essential for slowing the visible signs of skin aging, such as a dull complexion, fine lines, and age spots.
This invisible sunscreen is also a strategic choice for daily use: its ultra-light, non-greasy texture melts instantly into the skin without leaving a white cast. It doesn’t cause makeup to cake, isn’t sticky, and doesn’t clog pores—even when reapplied several times a day.
Another significant advantage: its resistance to water and sweat, making it particularly well-suited for active days, sports, or humid climates. Dermatologically and ophthalmologically tested, it does not sting the eyes, even in case of accidental contact.
We also offer the Anthelios Fragrance-Free Oil Control Gel-Cream SPF 50+, at the best price in our online pharmacy.
