This is the best sunscreen I have ever used. Seriously.
I am a pale, pale lady with majorly sensitive skin who has used probably every sunscreen product on the planet, because I love the outdoors. I've done cheap (Target, Neutrogena, Coppertone, Bullfrog), expensive (Shiseido, La Roche-Posay, MD Solarsciences, Obagi), chemical sunscreens, physical sunscreens, natural/organic sunscreens, gels, creams, sprays- you name it. Before I found this my go-to had been Banana Boat Kid SPF 50, which works really well, but leaves some major white residue on your skin and everywhere else. But it worked, so I stuck with it. Until now.
This is the best. I bought it for a trip to Mexico and managed, for the first time in my life, to come back from vacation without a burn. It worked all day from one application during a completely cloudless week on the beach, even after multiple trips into the ocean. It smells pretty decent (though my one wish would be that there was a fragrance-free option). It's not too greasy and there is very minimal skin to clothing transfer. And the best part- I didn't end up looking like I was signing up for kabuki theater.
It's pretty hard when you're super-pale to find a sunscreen that you can apply and forget about all day, not having to constantly worry about reapplication, trying to find a shady spot, or looking like you've just brushed white paint all over your body. I think I just found a secret weapon.
