Ingredients Explained
These ingredients are found in both products.
Ingredients higher up in an ingredient list are typically present in a larger amount.
Cyclopentasiloxane, or D5, is a silicone used to improve texture of products and trap moisture.
D5 is considered lightweight and volatile. Volatile means it evaporates quickly after application. Once evaporated, D5 leaves a thin barrier that helps keep skin hydrated.
It is also an emollient. Emollients help soften the skin and prevent water loss. Silicones create a silky texture in products. D5 helps other ingredients become more spreadable.
Studies show D5 is safe to use in skincare products. We recommend speaking with a skincare professional if you have concerns.

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.
