Old reliable
This is a reliable favorite. I would definitely only use this on the body as it is full of fragrance. No pilling or white cast. That's my only gripe,but Target doesn't carry Banana boat Light As Air which is my preferred sunblock. This lotion doesn't feel sticky or greasy but is also not moisturizing.

Pasty, thick, hard to spread
I need two hands to squeeze any lotion out of the bottle. The consistency is super thick & pasty! Totally different from the small travel tubes, which are more liquidy. It also leaves a white cast. That part isn't as big of a deal bc i only use it on my body, never my fave. Why in the world did they make the bottle so thick and hard to squeeze! I wont buy this again! One positive, it smells good.

Changed formula
Changed formula and it’s now very thin and runny and the fragrance is very cloying.

Great Sun Protector
This was easy to rub in and not too thick. It was great for a beach vacay and keeping 3 kids and 2 adults protected from sunburns. Not too much protection, which also allowed for a nice tan without the skin burning!

Reformulation Fail
Banana Boat's attempt to reformulate this product is a total fail. It is extremely sticky and smelled of cheap cologne. I was sticking to my beach chair, it felt gross under the hot sun. Had to rinse it off at the beach and stay under the umbrella the rest of the day.

Terrible new formula smell
I loved this product and it’s been the only sunscreen I’ve used for several years however they just changed the formula and the smell is horrible. I’m so disappointed.

Time to find something else
I have used this brand for decades, but I am looking for something else now. They have changed the formula and it’s greasy and clogs my pores. I have bumps all over. Also, I use 50 spf and reapply and I still got tan after only 1-2 hrs in the pool. I don’t think this works as well as it used to.

It helps me enjoy the summer .
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Banana Boat has a texture and smell my family loves. Its packaging, UV protection, and superior absorption in seconds won't leave you white. the best ally on the beach

Just in time for summer!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It’s a trusted brand with a pleasant scent. Traditional and smooth. Packaged to to-go and easy to put into any bag or medicine cabinet. It’s not sticky and runny with good sun protect when applied correctly.

Reliable and easy
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Honestly great sunscreen! Reliable and useful and so much better than many things out there. The only downside is that it has a lower spf but smells strong if sunscreen. It can be an overpowering scent but useful still!

Good and reliable for FL Sun
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It’s a reliable sunscreen, used it at the beach here in FL on my legs and it protected them. I had used a face one on my neck and chest from a different brand and got burned.

Really great wear time
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a classic sunscreen. I love it for every day use on my daughter and myself. It does feel like it stays on the longest out of the sunscreens I own.

Still felt protected after sweating
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Product seems effective even after sitting in the sun for hours and sweating. Like the fact that it is odorless and has no scent and won’t attract bugs
