Understanding SPF 55

SPF 55 means this sunscreen blocks approximately 98% of UVB rays when applied correctly. The high SPF provides extended protection for those who spend significant time outdoors or have fair, sun-sensitive skin.

Perfect For

All skin types including sensitive skin, outdoor activities like gardening, biking, hiking, boating or walking, swimming and water sports, daily sun protection, those seeking lightweight, non-greasy formulas, people concerned about oxybenzone, travel and on-the-go protection, and preventing sunburn and skin damage.

How to Use

Apply liberally 15 minutes before sun exposure. Use enough sunscreen to cover all exposed skin. Reapply at least every 2 hours. Use a water-resistant sunscreen if swimming or sweating. Reapply immediately after towel drying, swimming, or sweating for continued protection.

Application Tips
Apply generously and evenly to all exposed areas. Don't forget often-missed spots like ears, back of neck, and tops of feet. Use about one ounce (a shot glass full) to cover your entire body. Apply to dry skin for best adherence. Allow sunscreen to absorb for 15 minutes before dressing. Reapply more frequently when spending extended time in direct sunlight.
Pro Tip
Layer this sunscreen over your moisturizer in the morning as the final step in your skincare routine. Wait a few minutes before applying makeup for a smooth, non-greasy base.

What to Expect

Upon application, the lotion spreads easily and absorbs quickly into your skin. Unlike traditional sunscreens, you won't feel a heavy, greasy layer sitting on your skin. The Dry-Touch technology creates an invisible, ultra-light finish with no white cast or shine. Your skin feels protected but comfortable, allowing you to go about your day without thinking about your sunscreen. The light fragrance is pleasant and not overpowering.

The Importance of Broad Spectrum Protection

While SPF measures protection against UVB rays (the burning rays), broad spectrum indicates protection against both UVB and UVA rays (the aging rays). UVA rays penetrate deeper into skin and contribute to premature aging, wrinkles, and skin cancer. This sunscreen's broad spectrum protection ensures comprehensive defense.

Helioplex Technology Explained

Helioplex is Neutrogena's patented sun protection technology that provides superior broad-spectrum protection. It stabilizes sunscreen ingredients to maintain their effectiveness longer, even during extended sun exposure. This means more reliable, longer-lasting protection for your skin.

Oxybenzone-Free and Reef-Safe

This formula is oxybenzone-free and compliant with Hawaii Act 104, which bans certain chemicals harmful to coral reefs. You can protect your skin while being mindful of ocean ecosystems.

Water Resistance Explained

Water-resistant for 80 minutes means the sunscreen maintains its SPF level for 80 minutes while swimming or sweating. However, you should still reapply after towel drying or if you've been in the water for extended periods.
