Q: The description of the product says 6 fl oz but all the pictures in the review section says 3.4 fl oz. Just wanna be sure before I order it.
submitted by Rosa - 2 years ago
A: I was wondering the same thing. No where else sells a 6oz version. It’s always 3.4oz. I even went on the vacation website and the only 6oz version is the spray
submitted byApril - 2 years ago
A: Yes, it actually is 6 ounces.

Very satisfied
I have very fair skin and burn quickly. I choose to try this after a 40% off sale. Blended quickly and left a non greasy feeling- i could tell it was on however. After 3 hours of direct beach sun, i did not burn. My freckles came out but no burn. Reapplied after swimming and again spent several more hours in direct sunlight-no burning. Used on my face. After sweating into eyes it did burn them. Smells mild, and doesn’t have a bad taste of it gets into your mouth. My skin felt slippery after sweating with the product on, no different than other lotion type sunscreens I’ve tried. I will absolutely use this again. I was able to use 1 bottle, applied completely over body twice each day for 10 days before running out. Everyone will have a different experience, so have a couple options available on your vacation.

Love this sunscreen! The smell is amazing! Anything that smells like coconut takes me right back to the beach. It’s not greasy at all and blends in nicely with no white cast. I sometimes get skin irritation with sunscreens but I had no irritation with this one! Definitely recommend for your next beach trip or for everyday use!

It really does smell great!
Only downside of this sunscreen is that you'll want to order a pina colada each time you put it on. But it's amazing.

Water resistant? Nope
While this sunscreen smells lovely, it’s unfortunately awful. Using the recommended amount leads to pilling every single time. It feels tacky and doesn’t look great. Worse than that, unfortunately, it’s not water resistant. I’ve worn it in water and while running outside and have found it immediately melts off. Yesterday, it started visibly melting off within 10 minutes. This is ridiculous and frustrating as it’s worse than comparable sunscreens and means you’re not getting promised UV protection when it really matters. Usually I finish products regardless, but will be switching to a different product with around half of the bottle left and not repurchasing.

Awesome fragance, Super protection for your skin.
I bought this a month ago and from the moment you open the bottle the fragrance hits you with a lovely tropical smell. I got the SPF 50 since my skin is on the sensitive to the sun side. It protected my skin very well, does not feel heavy or sticky at all. You just have to apply again after swimming. Best sunscreen lotion I've gotten in a while and I love that has no mineral oil.

Really nice
Great scent, very hydrating, yet light. It can pill up a bit if you are applying generously.

It’s a bit too watery/greasy for my taste. Idk if those are the right adjectives to use but it doesn’t dry down as well as I would like it too so I don’t use it on my face. It does smell great though!!!

Smells Devine- good protection
I have fair skin. I normally use a higher SPF. I was in full sun for the first time this summer and I didn't get sunburned. I also applied this brand of spray sunscreen. It smells great! an added bonus!

Applies easily, but has strong fragrance
This product is easy to apply doesn’t leave a white cast. However, if you suffer from migraines or your sensitive to strong fragrances, then you will not like this product. I did use up the entire bottle. But I’m not going to re-purchase because I can’t handle the strong fragrance.

It gives me serious rash and I checked the ingredients to find out Avobenzone and Octinoxate that are used in chemical sunscreen. This product should remind consumers on this! Do better and I don’t believe it’s “allergy tested” at all!

Pilling and clumping
It keeps clumping up and pilling. Have super dry skin so I need to add moisturizer on before hand. I tried to go just sunscreen and my skin felt oily but still dry and when I reapplied hours later, it clumped up still.

This is a chemical sunscreen which is not good for your skin , mineral sunscreen is what you should be using , i never understood that until the crazy reaction i got from this sunscreen i saw everyone hype it up , i only applied to my face & hands & both got a crazy amount of bumps , red painful, swelling face really bad i was barley able to open my eyes i had to be seen by a doctor& recive a steriod / antibiotics from how bad my skin reacted, if you view ratings (low to high ) I noticed alot of people reacted the same , I understand it may be personal but if many other people complained about the same thing obviously its a issue, please look up the difference between chemical sun screen & mineral !! This sunscreen alone has a crazy amount of chemicals that are not good for you or your skin
