Reviews For NEOSTRATA Defend Sheer Physical Protection Sunscreen SPF 50
Neostrata defend sheer physical protection spf50
This is not the best match for me since it makes me look quite tan when I am not. Secondly, I was expecting it to be matte and it doesn't yet seem to be that way. Furthermore, it doesn't appear to stay in place as I was expecting either and is rather greasy feeling.

Neostrata sheer physical protection
Although I shake the container as the instructions indicate, the product itself is too watery. It might give the impression that it glides smoothly, but after it dries out, I notice dryness on my face. The tint that it contains does not blend well with my olive skin type. On another note, it has good ingredients though.

Excellent UVA Protection, but may not work for everyone
Pros: I ordered this product because it specifically advertises superior UVA protection. UVA rays cause aging. Thus, it you are concerned about getting enough UVA protection, you may wish to consider this product. Additionally, this product seems to help diminish/cover some of my large pores in my T-zone. Cons: Be advised that this sunscreen has a tint. The tint did not work for my skin tone (i.e. fair/light). I wish it came in a non-tinted version. The color was too dark and turned my eyebrows (which are naturally blonde & light brown) an orangeish color. I think I will only use this on the lower half of my fact because it is too difficult to use on forehead/eyebrow area in terms of rubbing in/color issues. Additionally, I had a harder time rubbing this sunscreen in my skin (compared to other ones in my collection). It seemed to pick up any dry skin/flakes and didn't seem to sink into my skin as good as other types. I apply this with my fingers & try to use a konjac sponge on my face beforehand to eliminate any flakes on my skin. There may be a better way to apply this so that it doesn't do this. I should also mention that this product has a more liquid, less cream moisturized texture. It does have a velvet finish to it and unlike other sunscreens, didn't make my skin greasy. If the color match was better and if I could figure out how to apply it without it picking up/clinging to dry spots & flakes then I would give this a better rating.
