Customer Reviews of Neutrogena Ultimate Sport Lotion, SPF 70, 4 Ounce
Customer Review: THE Best Sport Sunscreen Out There . . .
Summary: 5 Stars
. . .and we've tried them all. We live in the Southwest where it's always sunny and the 6000 foot altitude predisposes folks to getting fried if they aren't careful. We're outside all summer, hiking, playing tennis, golf or swimming in the heat of the day. Add these factors to my tendency to break out with certain sunscreens, and finding the right product has been a headache. We were willing to try out many sunscreens to find the right one and this is it.
Neutrogena Sport goes on thick and rubs in immediately (without the white film). It is not greasy, it's VERY water resistant and easy on sensitive skin (even on the face). It has a ridiculously high SPF and offers excellent sunburn protection. I checked out the "Environmental Working Group 2010 Sunscreen Guide" and this product was given an avoid recommendation. According to their site this is because it contains oxybenzone as one of the active compounds that absorbs the energy in the sunlight. Apparently these folks don't like this chemical even though it's by far the most popular active ingredient in most sunscreens and has a great sunlight wavelength absorption spectrum. They cite "Developmental/reproductive toxicity, Endocrine disruption, Allergies/immunotoxicity, Biochemical or cellular level changes" and a myriad of other reasons that they feel this product isn't safe. In the end, avoidance of all sunlight is really the only way to prevent solar skin damage, and potential toxicities of organic compounds used in sunscreens need to be weighed against the well established fact that skin cancers, especially melanoma, can be deadly. The main issue with oxybenzone is that it may cause photoallergy in some people. If you are one of those people with this sensitivity, this product may not be for you. In general though, if you're not sensitive to oxybenzone based sunscreens, I believe this product is a lot safer than a sunburn. (As an aside, I've tried one of the EWG Guide's 'BEST' sport sunscreens - "All Terrain TerraSport Performance" - and it stung my eyes like crazy, rendering it useless as a sport sunscreen.) In the future with microencapsualtion of sunscreen components and supramolecular sunscreens, some of these concerns may be further addressed, but for now, oxybenzone and similar organically based compounds simply are the best we have.
As far as results, I have played many tennis matches at noon on a hot day, and have not been burned once where this sunscreen was applied. Another benefit is that this won't drip off of your forehead and sting your eyes like some others we have found. As with any sunscreen, prolonged sun exposure requires you to reapply your sunscreen. We reapply every two to three hours when we're in the direct sun during midday (or at lunch on a ski day). If you don't, you will get burned, no matter how great the sunscreen or SPF Factor.
So in summary, nothing beats avoidance of the midday sun, a hat or skin coverage as ways to avoid skin sun damage. But if you're active outside, these mitigation strategies aren't always feasible. Besides old fashion zinc oxide, this is the best sunscreen we have found. Use it properly, reapply when needed, and you won't be disappointed.
