Description

NeoStrata® Sheer Hydration SPF 40 is a light, oil-free daytime moisturiser that contains a broad-spectrum sunscreen to help to control oiliness, pore size and it gives the skin radiance and clarity. Suitable for those with a combination or oily, acne-prone skin and those prone to hormonal breakouts.

Key ingredients include patented NeoGlucosamine®  is clinically proven to speed up cell turnover, helping to improve skin tone, texture and recovery times. Salicylic Acid helps to unclog pores, leading to fewer breakouts. Phytotal® is a botanical blend responsible for controlling and reducing oil on the skin without irritation. Tocopheryl Acetate (Vitamin E) is a powerful antioxidant. Oil-free, Fragrance-free. Non-comedogenic. Dermatologist-developed.

Dr Webster’s Recommendation: NeoStrata® Sheer Hydration is a very popular, hydrating, anti-ageing day moisturiser that is what its name suggests – sheer. Its light formulation makes it easily absorbable and the built-in sunscreen does not leave a white residue on the skin. It is also gentle and does not cause irritation but those with sensitive skin should introduce the product slowly according to their own skin’s tolerance. It hydrates oily skin so effectively, without congesting the skin, that those who live in hot, humid climates will find this product works well for them.

    I have been using this particular moisturizer for the past 2 years. I love the clean, fresh smell, the fact that it contains an SPF because I do long distance walks (skin is prone to pigmentation) and the fact that it is not oily neither does it leave any residue. I get loads of compliments for the condition of my skin and I am very often asked which skinproducts I use and I am proud to say that it is all due to Neostrata.

    I cannot live without Sheer Hydration, absolutely loving this product. Soaks well into my skin, lasts for months. I always make sure I have an extra bottle of this product.

    Has a garlic/onion smell, thought I was going crazy – rewashing hands and the bottle… until I read a similar comment mentioning the smell, which is definitely the product. Will not repurchase.

    Absolutely love this product! As a dark skinned woman, finding the right SPF can be tricky and this one is by far the best I’ve used. It leaves no white cast, feels lovely on the skin and gives you a very healthy looking glow. A must for darker skin tones!

    I wasn’t blown away by this product. It made me look and feel quite greasy and the smell reminds me of onions. Its not terrible, just wouldn’t repurchase.

    This is my favourite product from Neostrata – and the best moisturiser I’ve ever used. I didn’t realise that a top quality moisturiser could make such a huge difference to the texture and glow of my skin. My skin has changed completely since I started using this product and I couldn’t recommend this product enough. I have been on acne medication (a topical gel as well as tetralysal) which left my skin very sensitive, dry and flaky but this moisturiser made all the difference. The only problem is that it’s a small bottle and doesn’t last very long!

    I use this moisturizer daily and can definitely recommend it. I love the convenience of an SPF included. It feels soft and smooth on application, it moisturizes leaving a radiant finish. I love a product where a little goes a long way. I am prone to hormonal breakouts, and since I started the Neostrata program I haven’t experienced any. Very happy with this product. A GREAT ALL-ROUNDER.

    I’ve been using this product for a few weeks and I don’t enjoy it at all. It feels greasy and tacky from the moment I apply it. I’ve actually started cleaning it off midday as it makes my skin feel oily. I won’t purchase it again.

    I am not sure if the ingredients changed due to the reformulation. In the past (spf 35), the product worked wonders but after the new packaging and reformulation to spf 40, the product is slightly greasy and doesn’t absorb as quickly as it used to.

    Love this moisturizer. I use it daily, in the morning. It’s not greasy or oily and leaves my skin feeling hydrated with a healthy glow. Perfect base for applying foundation.
