5.0 out of 5 stars
It's our favorite sunblock, July 2, 2009
This review is from: Neutrogena sunblock ultra sheer body mist, #SPF70 - 5 oz (Health and Beauty)
We've been using Neutrogena sunblocks in the summer for several years now and, given that most of our summers are spent in the sun, by the pool or at the beach, I think I have some authority to state that I am happy with this product.
The SPF 70 spray features:
- UVA/UVB protection
- Helioplex for keeping the product effective longer
- a very fine dry mist
- discreet, sexy odor
- seems to stay effective for several hours
- I don't need to re-apply it after swimming
I disagree with the maker's claim that it 'resists running into eyes'. My personal experience is that you should not apply this anywhere near your eyes unless you have easy access to an abundant water supply to wash it off. Use some dry stick for the areas near your eyes or for your entire face if possible.
Besides that, this is definitely our favorite sunblock. We buy a dozen or so spray cans of various SPF levels (we use SPF 70 in Florida and mostly SPF 45 when in our less tropical Pennsylvania) and a few sticks and out family of 5 is good for the season. We haven't experienced any sunburns lately.
Since this is THE sunblock we use and we don't use anything else, I am compelled to award this product the 5 stars it clearly deserves.

True story. I know it's true because it happened to me, a few days ago.
One lazy Saturday afternoon, having completed my 100 or so laps, I am in the back of the house, reading a book and sipping some drink, Scotch and soda. A bunch of kids are splashing in the pool, dogs over-excited. I notice T. circling around, trying to look busy, a hesitant, uncomfortable look on her face. She's my wife's girlfriend, a neighbor, and she's married too, 3 little girls, her 6 yr. old our 6 yr. old's best friends. While all this is going on, I keep reading, enjoying the day, sipping my drink.
To make it short, she seems to find the needed energy to address me directly.
A., she says, what are you wearing?
Svimvear I says (a joke, she's from Russia).
No, no, no, she says, what perfume are you wearing? Or is it your aftershave?
What are you talking about? No perfume, says I. I just came out of the pool.
But, A., you smell soooo good, says she. My husband never smells like this. Why can't he smell like you do?
Ahhhh... I finally realize, it's GOT to be the Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Body Mist Sunblock Spf 70 5 Oz. I'm wearing.
True story.

Redhead In Need of Spray On Sunblock, June 1, 2009
This review is from: Neutrogena sunblock ultra sheer body mist, #SPF70 - 5 oz (Health and Beauty)
And this did wonderfully...Although I think sunscreen/block in general is extremely expensive considering how much one must put on (esp someone like me who is photosensitive and burns easily), this is a spectacular product. I use a different lotion on my face (designed for face as I have acne prone skin), BUT this I use on my arms, neck, shoulders, and legs, everyday before I leave the house. I love the style of bottle too because unlike Aveeno's yellow bottle, the spray nozzle itself is designed for comfortable constant application. The Aveeno one has a rounded tip so once your fingers get a little slick or wet you have a hard time holding it town. This one is good for lefties, righties, kids, adults, and the elderly alike who all might have issues with both sun and application comfort. No streaking or staining on skin or clothing so far.
