Answer:	yes, it is the exact same thing as you get at the store.

Question:	Just received my order of daily cream. The lid was not sealed outside, just a clear plastic cover under the lid. Is this how it's suppose to be

User questions & answers

Question:	Does this go on easy, not too thick on your face
Answer:	I actually enjoy using this sunscreen. It feels very comforting to your skin, especially if your skin is already very sensitive or irritated from something else - sunburn, glycolic acids, Retin-A usage, etc. I do find that at night, it takes a double cleanse and a washcloth to remove all of the color from your face. It is waterproof for up to i0 mins...
Question:	Does it dry your skin? I have very dry skin
Answer:	I’ve been using it for about a year and never noticed it was drying until I read these reviews and then noticed that it may be a tiny bit drying but this is without using a moisturizer so I will try adding moisturizer to my face. I just ordered the darker tint and I really like it. I’m very pale, mainly because I always use sunscreen, and I hate using foundation so I love this tinted sunscreen. I’m 60 and I have normal skin.
Question:	Are there any chemicals in this sunscreen or is it 100% natural
Answer:	Even water is a "chemical," dihydrogen monoxide. Chemical does not mean bad or good, natural or unnatural. Each ingredient in every cosmetic product or food you will ever experience is a chemical. I think the better way to go about this inquiry is to ask if any artificial or synthetic ingredients are in the formula, and it is very rare to find any cosmetic without some of these. Even if the original source of an ingredient was a botanical source, it often takes artificial chemical processes to isolate or convert the substance into the final material, which is added to the cosmetic formula. It is virtually impossible to to make a completely "natural product" without some synthetic chemical manipulation of raw materials, even if you do not use artificially created ingredients.
Question:	What color is the tint
Answer:	I would caution that the tint is too dark if you wear porcelain/super light foundations. I can’t wear most drugstore foundations because I am too pale. I wear the lightest IT Cosmetics shade, shade 1N2 in Estee Lauder (the neutral shade of the palest color), etc. I can only wear this sunscreen when I am also wearing sunless tanner. Then, I can wear it alone with some bronzer on top, or my favorite foundation mixed with liquid bronzer. I absolutely love this foundation, but it isn’t for the palest or most fair among us.

What is SPF

SPF stands for Sun Protection Factor. It is a measure used worldwide to indicate the level of sunscreen protection. Using an SPF 15 sunscreen means it will take 15 times longer for skin to begin to burn than it would without sunscreen.

Broad Spectrum UVA/UVB

There are two types of ultraviolet (UV) light that can harm your skin- UVA and UVB. A Broad Spectrum sunscreen protects you from both. UVB rays are primarily responsible for causing sunburn while UVA rays are associated with skin aging.

Sunscreen Application

The recommended amount of sunscreen for the average person is 1 Fl Oz. A simple way to remember how much sunscreen to apply is imagine the amount of sunscreen that would fit in a shot glass or the size of a golf ball. Sunscreen should be applied 15 minutes before sun exposure and reapplied every 2 hours or immediately after swimming, sweating or drying off.

Traditional vs Mineral Sunscreens

There are two general types of sunscreen - traditional and mineral. Traditional sunscreens work by absorbing the sun's rays while mineral sunscreens protect skin by blocking the sun's rays. Whichever type you choose, make sure it provides Broad Spectrum UVA/UVB protection.

User questions & answers

Question:	Hi, could you please explain why when i click the 55spf neutrogena clear face broad spectrum sunscreen, it moves to the 'skin' box, instead of the 'face' one? are you not selling the 55spf FACE sunscreen
Answer:	I looked at it and I'm seeing that the one you are looking for is out of stock.
Question:	What does the term "no break outs" mean? Is it noncomediogenic (no blackheads) or just no red pimples
Answer:	To me, it means no red pimples, in particular no redness. Other sunscreens make me breakout with redness. Even the Neutrogena Clear Face SPF 55 causes redness for me. The Neutrogena Clear Face SPF 30 never does. In fact, it seems to prevent redness. I do not know the difference between the two in terms of ingredients. The Neutrogena Clear Face SPF 30 seems to be perfect for me in not causing and in preventing. I hope this helps.
Question:	does this a physical UV protecter or chemical
Answer:	SUNBLOCKSunblock contains PHYSICAL or inorganic ingredients that physically block the sun (both UVA and UVB) . Often it is a much thicker lotion than a sunscreen. Look for Titanium Dioxide or Zinc Oxide as the main ingredient. This may be a better choice for your family if you have anyone with sensitive skin since titanium dioxide and zinc oxide are less irritating than Parsol 1789 found in sunscreen. Because most brands of lotion are a combination of both sunblock and sunscreen, if you are looking for a true sunblock try Blue Lizard Australian Sunblock and Neutrogena Sunblock. SUNSCREENAccording to the American Melanoma Foundation (AMF), sunscreen contains CHEMICALS that absorb UV radiation and reduce the amount that reaches the skin. Many of the chemicals used for SPF such as avobenzone, avobenzene, oxymethylcinnemate can cause irritate the eyes or even cause skin irritation. Look for Parsol 1789 in many of today's sunscreen brands to avoid irritation.http://www.family-health-and-nutrition.com/natural-beauty-products/sunblock-vs-sunscreen/
Question:	does this product sting eyes
Answer:	I use it and re-apply every 3 or so hours. If I am working hard, and sweat heavily, the sweat and lotion mixture usually gets in my eyes. It stings mightily, at which time, I wipe the sweat and sunblock off my forehead and around my eyes with a paper towel. I would think that it would no longer protect, and the protection has probably been reduced, but I still have yet to burn with it on. I have been using it almost daily for 4 months now, and I have not found anything quite as good as this stuff. I have gone through 3 tubes of it, and will probably not use anything else (until they discontinue it).
