Most Helpful Positive Review Lives up to its description I usually have a severe skin reaction to the sun in late spring and summer. High SPF (50+) can help somewhat, but I never thought I'd be able to go to the beach again. Family birthday gathering at the NJ shore in August made me want to risk it, so I bought this Neutrogena 100 SPF spray (highest SPF I've ever tried). It was terrific! So easy to apply, no mess, quick drying. Best of all, even spending hours on the beach and walking back and forth to and from didn't result in a reaction. I was able to spend more time in direct sunlight than I have in decades. This will be my go-to product from now on. I would keep the aerosol can out of the heat of direct sun though, just in case. I kept mine in a cooler, and on a hot day, this actually made it feel very pleasant going on. Incidentally, with a recent Ulta promo of 5 off 10 dollars, this was a real bargain!
Most Helpful Critical Review Long time Nutrogena sunscreen user Nutrogena sunscreen user for years and years. I have used their ENTIRE line including sport face sunscreen lotion, lip protectant and spray sunscreens. I bought 4 cans of the the new design spray sunscreen this past month for an upcoming vacation. I also packed last year's design of left-over sunscreen, just to be sure I had more than enough sunscreen for said upcoming trip. The first bottle of Spray SPF 100+ worked for one spray and the handle locked into a position that would not allow any more spraying. Bottle # 2 of SPF 100+ worked great without any problems, however bottles #3 and 4 did not work AT ALL. Your new design is a product FAIL. I had to resort to using last year's sunscreen. Thank goodness last years spray bottle still worked and the sunscreen still protected me from any sun burn and held up to the outstanding level of product I have come to expect from Nutrogena. Please go back to last year's spray design. It is much more reliable.

This is by far the most gimmicky product I've probably ever used. I sprayed over my entire body and even set a time for 2 hours to reapply during a day on the beach. Now, I'm severely burnt and in a lot of pain. Don't purchase this product unless you want to be extremely disappointed or you're a masochist.
Red Hair & Pale Skine 2
Redandpale from Cape Cod, MA
Backstory: I'm very pale and very much a read head so naturally I can get severe burns sitting in the shade! I was on the beach- I've never used it there before- and hadn't gone swimming yet and I noticed some redness in the first 30 minutes. I knew already a burn was coming but I didn't know how severe until I got home. Maybe it was user error maybe it's the sprays design regardless I'm writing this in a very red and very painful state. Other times I've used it I was moving in and out of sun and not directly in it with no possibility for shade so maybe that was my error. Regardless I'm in bed staying as still as possible because my body burns even before I went into the water and reapplied afterwards.
I can't give this an angry 1 star: I'm burned worse than ever!! Review because it may as well have been my own human error- however be careful using this product! Reapply! Reapply! Reapply!
Sun sensitivity 5
Diane Joy from Upper Black Eddy Pa
This is the only product that helps my son's arms. His arms are highly sensitive to the sun. He has no more raised bumps or itching / irritation.
Very convenient 5
Brooklyn guy from Brooklyn, NY
Easy to apply. I have not had any problems with the cap as reported by other reviewers
Not bad 4
Usedtoothpicks from New York
So since I've been using this product, I have to say it defintely works. I have not been getting burnt! My only complaint is that it does leave my skin feeling slightly greasy but I may be spraying too much.
I might buy this product again 4
Former beach babe from NY
The product itself is great - but the handle/nozzle thingy is a little flimsy and hard to use
Best sunscreen for sensitive skin! 5

Nutregena is the best!
The best sunscreen ever!! 5
Iaraschwartz from Florida,FL
I bought this sunscreen a while ago and I absolutely love it!
It is one of the best sunscreens that I have seen, my favorite part of it is that it's so good protecting your skin from the sun!
Totally worth it! 5 stars
Please change the packaging! 1
LauraSL from Chi Town
Great sunscreen that is effective and feels really nice! However, please remove the handle off the outside. It is not necessary to spray your back and I keep accidentally spraying the product everywhere.
A Winner 5

This spray is excellent. Very lightweight. Doesn't feel greasy. I like its coverage. I wholeheartedly recommend this product.
Great product 5

Ease of use- it couldn't be easier to use. The spray is not greasy and dries almost immediately. Highly recommend it.
Bad spray handle design 1
Rita T from Cookeville TN
I bought this a couple months ago and now that I'm ready to use it, every time I push the spray handle, it pops off the can. I can not unlock or lock it. Per the directions it says to twist and click 2 times and every time I do, the handle pops off the can. I've tried everything and cannot get it to work. Wasted my money because I no longer have the receipt to return it and the store won't refund or replace without a receipt. I've never had a problem with Neutrogena before so didn't think about keeping the receipt! Loved the idea but if it doesn't work..
Pretty great 5
You can call me O from Flowood, MS
I use this for myself if I'm going to be in sunlight directly or majorily for a bit. I've got an olive complexion and ran fairly easy. I also use this for my 10 year old daughter who is fair complected and it works really well.
Best Sunscreen Ever 5
Abbie6 from USA
This is my favorite sunscreen. I have tried many over the years due to my mother, and my sisters and I be allergic to the sun. We instantly burn even in cloudy skies. This is the only sunscreen we can use and not get horribly burnt. Its lightweight and smells good. Its easy to apply. Only downside is that it's a bit expensive for the amount you get. Well at least for me cuz we do have to reapply more frequently than most. Over all its the only sunscreen I purchase now.

Easy to use but still no pimples/rash, sting 5
Geri2312 from undisclosed
I have always thought that if a product has the good feature I am looking for, I would have to sacrifice one other feature I needed. How happy I am that I found everything I am looking for in a sunscreen. I have been using this product for almost a year now. I have to use sunscreen multiple times in a day in a rush and without having to wash my face prior to reapplying so I am always concerned if the product is easy to use, would sting my eyes, and would cause pimples/ rash to breakout or not. This product has all of them and smells good as a bonus! It used to have that handle that makes it easier for me to apply it on my back or Other areas that are difficult to reach but a small adjustment would not stop me from not getting this one.
The new spray nozzle ruined my stuff 3
Disssappoimted from New England
I've been using this product for years, as suggested by my dermatologist. Even with the stupid new sprayer handle, I still needed my husband to spray my back properly. But the real problem is that nozzle twisted in my Vera Bradley backpack purse and sprayed all over the contents of my bag. The spray caused the dye to run, ruined my iphone charger, and ruined the bag. Bring back the old nozzle! The Old cap was safer than this new failure locking nozzle.
I'd like to give no stars. 1
Piper from New york
I bought this sunscreen to take with me to Thailand. I'm here now. At the beach. The bottle won't open or spray. We hear the two dumb clicks but it means nothing. Now I wasted money and will get burned.
Redhead Approved! 5
TheRustyRedhead7 from USA
The Neutrogena Ultra Sheer 100+ SPF spray works very well on my fair and freckled skin.
I can spray myself down on the beach and relax in my beach chair for quite a while, only needing to re-apply after swimming.
I get sunburn within 5 mins of being in direct sun and I have yet to burn using this product.
Great sunscreen 5
Hangar184 from USA
I o not like sunscreen as a rule-it's usually sticky and feels heavy on. This spray was the total opposite. I'd spray it on and didn't even know it was on!! It also smelled great.
Easy to use product! 5
Destjones10 from USA
I have used many different kinds of sunscreen products through the years living in Florida. This one was super easy to use when myself and get to the areas on back side and hard to reach places! It wasn't greasy and stayed on even when working outside in the yard while swearing! Highly recommend!
Spray won't work 2
lanaliggett from Florida
The bottle is newly new and spray is already stopped up. Can't find any solutions listed for it. It was the only thing I brought to the beach. Guess the old fashioned lotion is the best no fail.

Great product HORRIBLE PACKAGING 1
CJ W from Seattle WA
The product is wonderful. Love the sheen is gives your skin and how healthy you look after using this. It's not sticky and the scent is quite nice. HOWEVER, I have bought 3 of these (I just love the product so much) but all three have broke at the dispensing nozzle. Cannot spray or use it anymore, it's defective. I can't waste more money in hopes of the container not breaking on me. Will not be giving this yet another chance. SAVE YOUR MONEY
