We have been using this lotion for years, but lately it is so watery I don't think we will buy it again. It used to be a nice creamy lotion, but now it pours out. I am very disappointed.

For the Banana Boat Aloe Aftersun lotion, we made some updates to the formula. The resulting new formula was slightly thinner than the old formula and we discovered that the new formula thins out even more over time and that has led to some consumer dissatisfaction. Please understand that the current product is safe to use and there are no issues with it except that it might have a slightly thinner consistency than before. We have immediately started producing the old formula and that formula should now be in market

I’ve been using this stuff since 1996 and they have changed the formula. Gone are the legacy traits of fragrance and texture that’s been around forever. Why ruin a perfect product??

You can try giving the bottle a gentle shake at the store to make sure that it is the consistency you are looking for.

I’ve used this since I was young. It was our goto after being at the Jersey shore all day or by the pool. Smells amazing and moistures your skin. However, this new formula is like water! What happened? The smell isn’t as strong and lotion isn’t even lotion, it’s like someone mixed half the bottle with water and mixed it up. It’s a shame, it used to be a great product.

I have sensitive skin and I burn very easily. I’ve been a Banana Boat customer for all my life and I absolutely love the Aloe after sun gel!! Because of my sensitive skin all the facial moisturizers I’ve tried have burned my skin or make my skin feel tight. I saw the Aloeafter sun lotion on the shelf and I thought, “what the heck, I’ll give it a shot” and boy an I happy I did!! It isn’t greasy, or watery. It feels light and moisturizing!! And smells great!! I’ll definitely be buying this lotion for years to come!!

Yellow Snow - 2 months ago, Verified purchaser
This lotion is great for after-sun care, with or without sunburn. It is also great as a deep moisturizing lotion/seal for the skin. It does run thick and somewhat opaque, but the ingredients make it that way and work for what they're designed to do: which is to alleviate skin irritations and burns, as well as dutifully moisturize the skin. This stuff can be a little bit sticky on the hands after usage, but it contains aloe and other great moisturizers, so I would not change a thing about that at all! Simply wash hands and pat dry after using. The smell may not be everyone's preferred smell, but it smells like the ingredients listed. I would not want anything to change about this product. It can also help with minor lesions from minor reactions to certain medications. Sometimes, my back gets sensitive from OTC cold medicine. This lotion helps alleviate that side effect a lot, and it reduces the intensity/duration of the site effect, as well! This product has come in handy for my summer. And, I'm sure I will be using it throughout the other seasons, as well. Thank you.

Ditto to all the reviews that raved about the rich, soothing formula and lamented the unannounced *shocking* switch to this watery drivel. I wish I had Googled and found reviews before wishfully thinking I had a bad bottle and buying more. So sad!

I really love this lotion and I use it daily year round head to toe. I really hate heavy greasy lotion. This is so light and not greasy. Soaks right in. The scent is so nice. I wish it came in smaller tubes for traveling.

I was a long time devotee of this lotion and then all of a sudden when I replenished last year, I first thought someone had added water to it! It flies everywhere after you pump it into your hand and it just doesn't feel as luxurious as it once did, when it was more of a cream consistency. Please return to original formula!

I’ve bought this product religiously for over 20 years until a couple years ago when they changed the formula to a watery, unusable mess. I’ve moved to buying Palmers, and will never buy again unless Banana Boat starts producing the original formula. Disappointing turn for one of my most favorite products.
