Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Sunscreen Serum SPF 60 Fragrance-Free 1.7 fl oz — Matte, Water-Resistant

Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Sunscreen Serum SPF 60 is a lightweight, fragrance-free facial sunscreen serum that delivers broad-spectrum UVA/UVB protection while hydrating and priming skin for makeup.

Made for everyday wear and outdoor activity, this 1.7 fl. oz travel-size serum blends skincare with high-level sun defense. It uses Helioplex technology and antioxidant vitamin E to protect against UVA and UVB rays and helps shield skin from environmental stressors. The formula is non-comedogenic, water-resistant up to 80 minutes, and finishes matte and smooth so it layers easily under makeup or stands alone for a natural look.

How does this sunscreen serum fit into my morning routine?

Apply the serum after cleansing and any lightweight serums or hydrating essences, but before heavier moisturizers or makeup. Its weightless texture absorbs quickly and leaves a soft, matte surface that acts as a primer for foundation or tinted SPF products. For best protection, apply generously and allow 15 minutes before sun exposure.

• Use on clean, dry skin—follow with moisturizer only if extra hydration is needed.
• Glides on quickly and minimizes pilling with cosmetics.
• Travel-friendly 1.7 fl. oz fits in carry-ons and gym bags.

What protection does SPF 60 provide and how often should I reapply?

SPF 60 provides strong protection against UVB rays that cause sunburn, and Helioplex stabilizes filters for consistent UVA defense. Because no sunscreen is permanent, reapply every two hours during regular sun exposure and immediately after swimming, sweating, or towel drying. The formula is water-resistant for up to 80 minutes, which helps maintain coverage during active outdoor use.

• Broad-spectrum coverage for both UVA and UVB protection.
• Water resistance rated for up to 80 minutes of activity.
• Reapply every 2 hours or after heavy sweating or swimming.

Is this product suitable for sensitive or acne-prone skin?

This serum is fragrance-free and non-comedogenic, which helps reduce the risk of irritation and pore-clogging for many skin types. Its light, non-greasy finish minimizes shine and feels breathable on the face, making it a good option for people who prefer a lightweight sunscreen. Patch-test if you have very reactive skin or are trying new active treatments.

• Fragrance-free formulation lowers irritation potential.
• Non-comedogenic—designed not to clog pores.
• Matte finish suitable under makeup or for oily skin types.

How does it combine sun protection with skincare benefits?

Beyond SPF, the serum contains vitamin E, an antioxidant that helps defend skin from environmental damage. The Helioplex system keeps sunscreen filters stable in sunlight, while the lightweight base delivers hydration without heaviness. Together these features offer protection and a skin-friendly finish in one step.

• Vitamin E helps neutralize environmental free radicals.
• Helioplex technology stabilizes UVA/UVB filters for reliable defense.
• Leaves skin soft, smooth, and makeup-ready in one application.

Who is this for: Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Sunscreen Serum SPF 60 is aimed at anyone wanting a high-SPF facial sunscreen that feels weightless and doubles as a primer—ideal for daily commuters, outdoor enthusiasts, and people who layer makeup. It’s particularly useful for those seeking fragrance-free, non-comedogenic protection in a compact, travel-compliant bottle.
