Yes its a high spf. I even wore it when i went to cancun and my face didnt even get burned. I put regular sunscreen on my body and i got burned on my shoulders and chest. So i was impressed with the sunscreen in this. Trust me it looks flawless on and i love how it goes with your skin color when you tan, so no more switching shades.

I've checked the Neutrogena website religiously & can't find this product, nor can I find it anywhere else. It didn't show up on their site last yr either; so last yr I found a few bottles here on Amazon & bought them. Think I paid about $12.99 each, high but still worth it to me. Before I placed my order last yr I asked the seller for the expiration dates & the seller gave me dates of 2/14 & 5/15. When I got my order, those dates were correct & clearly marked on the bottles. I also haven't been able to find this item in stores for over2+ years; so my assumption is that it's discontinued. Too bad as it's the only sunscreen that didnt cause a reaction on my face. For me, the price listed here is too high. as it used to sell for the standard sunscreen price of between $7.99 - $9.99 a bottle. The fact that it doesn't contain any chemical sun blockers isn't what's causing this price of $21.99. It's the fact that u can't find it anywhere, combined w/the seller hoping a person will pay this price. (Hey, it's a free market). Last yr I noticed CVS had their own brand of this & the ingredients were similar, but not identical. Today I've just searched extensively online & still can't find this Neutrogena item (except here on Amazon); so I'll head 2 my local CVS & see if they still sell their genetic version.

Hi-I'm not sure where you are seeing Oxybenzone as I am not seeing it on Amazon or the company website nor on the packaging. I would be concerned if the product included Oxybenzone. I would be interested in learning where you are aeeing this as I am not. I have used these products for years and love them. Many of my friends who only use natural sunscreens also rave about this product. Hope this helps.

Active ingredients:avobenzone 3%, homosalate 10%, octinoxate 7.5%, octisalate 5%, oxybenzone 4%. Don't see parabens on the label. I get along with it very well. Doesn't burn or make my eyes water. I discovered it as it was stocked in rest rooms at Breckenridge ski area. Haven't had a pre cancer burned off in the 5 years I've been using it, which is unusual for me as I'm a 69 yr old very white boy.

I use this product everyday. I use probably between 1-2 teaspoons on my face, neck and hands. I do put it under my eyes but not on my eyelids. I always reapply if I'm going to the pool or beach or working out outside. This is a fantastic product. It is so smooth and silky and definitely not greasy like typical sunscreens. You will love it. I am very fair, and I used this product religiously in Bora Bora last summer and I did not burn at all.

Yes and yes again! Amazon is amazing as I had a little trouble with my gel pumping, and they resolved it happily for me. I recently bought the Baby Quasar MD Plus, and I LOVE it. I like the Palovia, but it leaves little brown marks around my eyes and lips so I can't use it as often as I'd like. It is very effective though. I have olive skin, and my mom uses my Palovia as well and she has fair skin and she doesn't get the brown dots at all. I would still buy the Palovia again though as it has really firmed my under eyes alot, but I use the Quasar MD Plus in between and they work amazing together.

I don't know what UPF is. If you meant SPF, Sun Protective Factor, blocking 96% of UV A and B is great, at least 30% SPF but probably better as it's actually blocking, not absorbing as sunscreens often do. There is a *distinct* difference between this and any other umbrella I've used. It's VERY effective.

It is the best sunscreen and top rated among dermatologists. It takes a good amount of rubbing to apply because of the lack of chemicals (good thing) and you need to reapply every 2-3 hrs (like all other sunscreens). I would think the reapply would be tough if you are sandy. I use this sunscreen on myself and my kids. LOVE IT

Sorry can't tell you. They have the sunscreen with them and I don't have a packet to look at. I know his wife is very particular about my son using it so am sure it meets high standards.

I'm on my 6th jar of this cream. I usually use at night, but being inside during winter season, I will use during day. I don't use it when I know I'm going out in the sun, on the boat, etc. Retinol should be used 1st, and then a good 30% sunscreen for face only, not for all over body. I am 63 years old, and people never believe me when I tell them that. They usually guess in late 40's, or even 50 years old. I love it. That means I'm looking younger by more than 10 years. Love it, and the price is so right. Hope they don't raise it.

MY husband and I both use this product every day. I'm not familiar with the other product but we use it as recommended by my dermatologist. We live in the South and need a good sunscreen. I.highly recommend this product.

I agree with what Ms. Lis De La Marina said below. In my opinion, this is one of the best facial sunscreens out there for sensitive skin (or any skin type, really). Plus, it doesn't have all of the chemicals a lot of other sunscreens have, which is wonderful!

ECAMSULE is the technical name for Mexoryl which is it's common name used in the beauty industry. You can google this and find out. It's a great cream. I use it everyday since I've purchased it in July and people have noticed my "youthful" glow. Hope this is helpful. Ecamsule=Mexoryl

I am not sure. I use this daily but if I am in the pool or going to be in the sun, I use a waterproof children's sunscreen. I try to get as little sun on my face as possible. I do like this is 50 SPF & it's lite and absorbs quickly. I also like that it's tinted & not white. I hope this helps!

Only the "Active Ingredients" are listed on the product tube itself, and there are five on that list. The ingredient you asked about was not one of the five listed "Active Ingredients." I had to go to the manufacturer's website to see the list of "Inactive Ingredients." I would recommend that any consumer take a look at this list, but in answer to your question, I did not see "mexoryl" listed there either.

Thank you Andi, That is an awesome question and I do happen to have the answer. The Cling SunShades (48920) block98% UVA/UBA rays. (This goes for the Safety 1st and Eddie Bauer versions.) If I can help in any other way, please let me know.
