    Good enough!

    This is my go-to body sunscreen for summertime. It smells good, and it covers and protects well. My only complaint is that it feels pretty greasy and stays that way for the entirety of the wear.

    Total Coverage

    Neutrogena Beach Defence is my go to sunscreen for maximum sun protection. With 70 SPF it gives great coverage without having to reapply often. It is even less and has a creamy feel going on. The bottle is an attractive yellow so easily spotted in your beach bag. The lotion that is thin when coming out of the bottle so you don’t need much.

    Solid sunscreen

    I bought the mini version of this for travel and was very impressed! It has a pleasant scent (not overpowering), and blends in very nicely. It’s smooth and keeps you protected all day. No sunburns to report here and no complaints! Would definitely recommend.

    The spray products are oxybenzone- and octinoxate-free, meaning they avoid the primary reef-harming chemicals. Great product! 10 out of 10!

    Top favorite sunscreen

    Absolutely love the application of this sunscreen. It’s not too thick or greasy which makes reapplication easier. It has a nice scent, not so much of a chemical scent. One of my top picks for summer.

    Sun protection

    It does have the sunscreen sent, but it is very effective. It works, and it is waterproofing at last a couple hours in the sun. You have to reapply. Every couple hours of packaging is very manageable. It’s easy to put on and apply. The texture is very thick but creamy and absorbs very quick in the ingredients are very minimal.

    Good family sunscreen

    My family enjoys the scent and ingredients of this sunscreen, especially when out playing in the pool. The texture isn't too greasy and works well preventing sunburns. The packaging also makes it easy for the kids to use themselves.
