Neutrogena Healthy Defence Daily Moisturiser SPF30+

Description:

Neutrogena Healthy Defence SPF 30+ is a nourishing daily moisturiser that offers balance between 24-hour hydration and advanced protection to help combat the signs of premature ageing caused by UV exposure. The formula is lightweight, non-greasy and absorbs into the skin. Contains helioplex with technology to provide UVB and UVA protection against UV exposure as well as vitamins A, C and E. Can be used as a base under make-up. Available in: Normal/Combination and Combination/Oily.

Neutrogena Healthy Defence Daily Moisturiser SPF30+ Ingredients

First of all, I don’t know if this is a product rename, or a new range altogether by Neutrogena (I suspect it’s the latter), because look at how similar it is to the Ultra Sheer Daily Face sunscreen lotion?

Secondly, I have to say, I absolutely LOVE this sunscreen. I’ve been using thie Ultra Sheer lotion for a year, and although it was for normal to oily skin, it still gave me a slight hint of shine after several hours of use. But the Healthy Defence SPF30 for combination/oily skin is a godsend for those of us with oily skin.

It’s light in texture, oil-free and absorbs to the skin very quickly. I could have it on all day and not have a shiny nose. There’s no white cast upon application, and spreads on the skin well. What I like even more about this is that it doesn’t have that strong chemical-y smell that sunscreens usually have. You know what I mean? Even the Ultra Sheer sunscreen has a hint of that chemical-y scent. But the Healthy Defence? It has a subtle fruity scent, which is really quite pleasant.

I’m very glad to say that this has now earned a staple position in my daily skincare routine, and will remain so all summer.

Neutrogena Healthy Defence Daily Moisturiser SPF30+ Range

Neutrogena Healthy Defence Daily Moisturiser with SPF30+ comes in Normal/Combination Skin and Combination/Oily Skin. For those with combination skin, I would still recommend you to use the one for Combination/Oily Skin. Your skin will appreciate it better. It retails at AU$17.95 for 50ml and is available at all leading pharmacies and supermarkets.

What I like about it: Light, oil-free, subtle fruity scent. Great for oily skin.

What I do not like about it: Nothing

    Wow, though packaging looks different compared to down here, I do love Neutrogena suncare products! 🙂

    Thank you for the review. Sunscreen with a fruity smell….nice. The only sunscreen I know to date which has a fruity smell is from Korres.

    Back to Neutrogena sunscreen… i am currently using Neutrogena sunscreen “Pure& free” baby with SPF60+, and I am not quite liking it. Bought it because of my little girl…since it’s for kids. And I ran out of my Kiehl’s UV50 sunscreen. It’s rather oily, and leave an uncomfortable layer on my skin, and a slight white cast. 🙁

    From your description of this one, it sounds more similar to my favorite Kiehl’s sunscreen.
