Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Invisible Gel Facial Sunscreen SPF 40, 1.7 oz Travel Size — Matte, Lightweight Primer

Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Invisible Gel SPF 40 is a clear, lightweight facial sunscreen that provides broad-spectrum sun protection with a matte, primer-like finish.

This 1.7 oz travel-size gel blends quickly into skin without leaving a white cast, offering water resistance for up to 80 minutes and a velvety surface ideal for wearing under makeup. Formulated with Helioplex technology and vitamin E, the clear gel is fragrance-free and designed to be suitable for a range of skin types, including sensitive skin. The pump tube is designed for easy dispensing on the go.

How does this sunscreen perform under makeup?

The gel sinks in fast and leaves a matte, non-greasy finish that helps foundation and powders sit evenly. Because it goes on clear, it won’t alter skin tone or cause visible residue under cosmetics.

• Invisible gel formula that doesn’t pill under makeup
• Matte finish that reduces shine and helps makeup last
• Lightweight texture that absorbs quickly without feeling heavy

Is it suited for sensitive or acne-prone skin?

This sunscreen is fragrance-free and formulated to be gentle, making it a reasonable choice for many people with sensitive or reactive skin. The non-comedogenic gel texture is lightweight and less likely to clog pores than thick creams, though individual responses may vary.

• Fragrance-free formula to minimize irritation
• Fast-absorbing gel that is less greasy than lotions
• Designed to be suitable across a variety of skin types

How long does the water resistance last and how should I reapply?

The product offers water resistance for up to 80 minutes, which helps during swimming or sweating. Reapply after 80 minutes of water exposure, immediately after towel drying, or at least every two hours during prolonged outdoor activity.

• Water resistant up to 80 minutes for swimming and sweating
• Reapply after towel drying or heavy sweating
• Use generous amount and follow reapplication intervals for best results

What ingredients and technologies are included?

The gel uses Helioplex photostable technology for broad-spectrum UVA/UVB coverage and contains antioxidant vitamin E for added skin support. It is free of oxybenzone and parabens and formulated to be cosmetically elegant for daily wear.
