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!
Learn more about WaterSilica is a mineral naturally found in our skin. It helps to thicken and smooth the texture of a product. It also acts as an agent for other ingredients by increasing the absorption of other ingredients into the skin.
Silica is often used for absorption and can help reduce shine when products are applied. Silica occurs in naturally in materials like clay and sandstone, and it can also be produced synthetically.
Silica is present naturally within the skin during collagen production and when reducing inflammation.

Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Dry-Touch Sunscreen SPF 100+ 23 ingredients
Acne, white face, not sweat proof
Gave me acne, left a white sheen on my face, if I sweat it would run down my face, also if it dries and you rub your face it will like roll off onto your hand
Used to like it as a body sunscreen.
Found that it worked quite well at high altitude where UV is even stronger - the high SPF seemed to help a lot in those situations.
Tried using it on my face but I didn't like the feeling, and it seemed to irritate my face skin.
