Ingredients Explained
These ingredients are found in both products.
Ingredients higher up in an ingredient list are typically present in a larger amount.
Water. It's the most common cosmetic ingredient of all. You'll usually see it at the top of ingredient lists, meaning that it makes up the largest part of the product.
So why is it so popular? Water most often acts as a solvent - this means that it helps dissolve other ingredients into the formulation.
You'll also recognize water as that liquid we all need to stay alive. If you see this, drink a glass of water. Stay hydrated!

this product is a game changer for my sensitive skin, i've never had a sunscreen that is this gentle and i think its one of the best out there!! it makes me actually want to wear sunscreen
It feels very light and hydrating on the skin and dries matte, no oilyness or stickiness.
Neutrogena Hydro Boost City Shield Water Gel SPF 25 21 ingredients
just as moisturizing as the water gel, but a little heavier because of the spf. I wish it was lighter but it's pretty good compared to any other spf ive tried
