Question 1

does this product sting eyes

Accepted Answer

I use it and re-apply every 3 or so hours.  If I am working hard, and sweat heavily, the sweat and lotion mixture usually gets in my eyes.  It stings mightily, at which time, I wipe the sweat and sunblock off my forehead and around my eyes with a paper towel.  I would think that it would no longer protect, and the protection has probably been reduced, but I still have yet to burn with it on.  I have been using it almost daily for 4 months now, and I have not found anything quite as good as this stuff.  I have gone through 3 tubes of it, and will probably not use anything else (until they discontinue it).

Question 2

does this a physical UV protecter or chemical ?

Accepted Answer

SUNBLOCKSunblock contains PHYSICAL or inorganic ingredients that physically block the sun (both UVA and UVB) . Often it is a much thicker lotion than a sunscreen. Look for Titanium Dioxide or Zinc Oxide as the main ingredient. This may be a better choice for your family if you have anyone with sensitive skin since titanium dioxide and zinc oxide are less irritating than Parsol 1789 found in sunscreen. Because most brands of lotion are a combination of both sunblock and sunscreen, if you are looking for a true sunblock try Blue Lizard Australian Sunblock and Neutrogena Sunblock. SUNSCREENAccording to the American Melanoma Foundation (AMF), sunscreen contains CHEMICALS that absorb UV radiation and reduce the amount that reaches the skin.  Many of the chemicals used for SPF such as avobenzone, avobenzene, oxymethylcinnemate can cause irritate the eyes or even cause skin irritation. Look for Parsol 1789 in many of today's sunscreen brands to avoid irritation.http://www.family-health-and-nutrition.com/natural-beauty-products/sunblock-vs-sunscreen/

Question 3

What does the term  "no break outs" mean?  Is it noncomediogenic (no blackheads) or just no red pimples?

Accepted Answer

To me, it means no red pimples, in particular no redness.  Other sunscreens make me breakout with redness.  Even the Neutrogena Clear Face SPF 55 causes redness for me.  The Neutrogena Clear Face SPF 30 never does.  In fact, it seems to prevent redness.  I do not know the difference between the two in terms of ingredients. The Neutrogena Clear Face SPF 30 seems to be perfect for me in not causing and in preventing. I hope this helps.

Question 4

Hi, could you please explain why when i click the 55spf neutrogena clear face broad spectrum sunscreen, it moves to the  'skin' box, instead of the 'face' one? are you not selling the 55spf FACE sunscreen?
