This sunscreen was way too thick for my liking. It made it really difficult to get good coverage. I think I used it twice before throwing it away because I just couldn't be bothered spending what felt like hours rubbing it into my skin. On the plus side, the two times I did use it, I did not get burnt.

I decided to purchase this sunscreen due to it being the first one I seen when I was searching for some. I love the size of this sunscreen as it is a reasonable size to carry around in your handbag without weighing it down. I like the consistency of the formula as it is just right and it doesn't take forever to absorb into your skin. I feel like it protected my skin quite well but I just need to remember to reapply throughout the day. I would definitely repurchase this product as it is definitely an essential.
We got this for $5 a bottle on sale from the warehouse, it is a bargain at that price. My whole family use it and no one has been burnt this summer. It rubs in easily and doesnt smell too bad
This was pretty much our standard sunscreen that we always had a few bottles travel with us to the park or to the beach. It was just about the only sunscreen we had with us on several vacations. So long as people applied it regularly they didn't get too burnt and just heavily tanned. But that was on mornings that we spent five or so hours out at the beach in the tropical sun and swimming in the sea and the pool. If you apply it and then jump in the pool you will notice a thin milky sort of residue floating around you for a bit because it's not waterproof so you do need to be careful and reapply it fairly often because it does wash off.
Tips: Towel off before you reapply if you are swimming it rubs in better that way. Also if your going to be out in a swimsuit apply it before putting on your swimsuit as it's easier to rub in and you're likely to get a dollop on your swimsuit. Applying 15-20 minutes does help as well.
This is my current sunscreen, and it works well. I have already bought 2 bottles of it this summer. My only gripe is that I wished it came in bigger bottles. The smell is reasonable, we did not reapply often and didn't get burnt.
I use the Nivea Sun Caring which comes in the spray bottle as it's easy to apply. Unlike many sunblocks which have a high sun protection factor, this goes on well without leaving me covered in a white film. I like that it has a 50+ SPF and is also a broad spectrum cream so it protects against both UVA and UVB rays.
Tips: Like any sunscreen remember to keep applying throughout the day if you're outdoors and sweating or swimming. The best beauty advice is sunblock, sunblock, sunblock. I wish I knew that when I was young.
I love this sunscreen - for someone with sensitive skin, this is the only sunscreen that I can use! It rubs in well and doesn't leave much residue on the skin which is really nice! wouldn't use anything else! Never get burnt when I use it either, so therefore it does what it is meant to!
I like the smell of this product. It dosn't smell like a normal sunscreen to me. I haven't been burnt yet from using it and the kids have senstive skin and seems to be working ok for them too
Lovely, neutral smell and a little on the thick side for me when applying (sometimes leaving white streaks if not carefully rubbed in) but does a really good job of protecting against sun burns while letting you tan naturally.
Tips: I found it a bit hard to remove the "moisturising" part from my legs in the shower at the end of the day after a few applications (but still would rather have that than be burnt) so I found an exfoliating glove helps.
this sunscreen is good, dosnt smell chemically like other lotions sometimes do. Its formula is thick and creamy, it absorbs into my skin fast without leaving a oily residue. I used some on my 4yr old son and he had a VERY bad reaction! He broke out in hives that lasted for nearly a week! he never reacts to anything so this was a surprise! so wont be using it again .
