Neutrogena Clear Face Sunscreen SPF 50 for Acne-Prone Skin — Oil-Free, Matte 3 fl oz

Neutrogena Clear Face Sunscreen Lotion SPF 50 is a lightweight, oil-free facial sunscreen formulated to protect acne-prone and oily skin without clogging pores.

This daily facial sunscreen delivers broad spectrum UVA/UVB protection in a water-light lotion designed for oily and acne-prone skin. The non-comedogenic, fragrance-free formula absorbs quickly to a matte finish, layers well under makeup, and is free of oxybenzone. It’s offered in a convenient 3 fl oz tube that’s easy to take along for everyday use and outdoor activities.

How does this sunscreen fit into a daily skincare routine?

Apply generously 15 minutes before sun exposure as the final step in your morning skincare routine. The texture is formulated to play nicely with serums, moisturizers, and cosmetics while avoiding heavy, greasy residues.

• Use after moisturizer or lightweight serum for best layering.
• Absorbs quickly and creates a matte base for makeup.
• Reapply every 2 hours or after 80 minutes of swimming or sweating.

Will this sunscreen cause breakouts or feel greasy?

Neutrogena Clear Face is specifically made for oily and acne-prone skin, with an oil-free, non-comedogenic formulation that minimizes pore-clogging. It leaves a weightless, breathable finish rather than a shiny or heavy film.

• Oil-free and fragrance-free to reduce irritation.
• Non-comedogenic to help keep pores clear.
• Matte finish suits combination to oily skin types.

How effective is the sun protection and how often should I reapply?

This product provides broad spectrum SPF 50 protection against UVA and UVB rays and is water-resistant for up to 80 minutes. Follow standard sun-safety practices and reapply regularly to maintain protection.

• Broad spectrum SPF 50 for daily sun exposure defense.
• Water-resistant up to 80 minutes for outdoor activities.
• Reapply after towel drying, swimming, heavy sweating, or at least every 2 hours.

Is this sunscreen safe for sensitive or oxybenzone-sensitive skin?

The formula is fragrance-free and made without oxybenzone, reducing common triggers for sensitivity while retaining effective UV protection in a facial sunscreen format. As with any topical product, patch testing is recommended for highly reactive skin.

• Fragrance-free formulation to limit irritation risk.
• Oxybenzone-free for those avoiding that ingredient.
• Developed by a dermatologist-recommended sun care brand.

Who this is for: Neutrogena Clear Face Sunscreen SPF 50 is aimed at people with oily, combination, or acne-prone skin who want reliable daily sun protection that won’t feel heavy or cause breakouts.
