Banana Boat Ultra Sport Sunscreen Lotion Bonus Size - SPF 50+ - 10oz

Ich bin in die Falle getappt: Habe BananaBoat Sport SPF50 gewissenhaft 20 Minuten vor dem Baden am ganzen Körper aufgetragen, danach sofort erneut, und das Ganze zwei Mal wiederholt. Insgesamt habe ich mich dreimal eingeschmiert und war vier Stunden in der Sonne. Das Ergebnis? Meine gesamte Rückseite ist knallrot wie eine Tomate, die Haut ist an empfindlichen Stellen sogar geschwollen und ich habe Verbrennungsschmerzen. Dieses Produkt hat überhaupt nichts ausgerichtet – 0% Schutz. Stattdessen sitze ich nun mit einem schmerzhaften Sonnenbrand da, der nicht nur Urlaubsfreude zerstört, sondern auch ein erhebliches Krebsrisiko birgt. Ich bin wütend und fassungslos, dass so eine „Sonnencreme“ überhaupt vertrieben werden darf. Sollte ich gesundheitliche Spätfolgen davontragen, mache ich die Firma direkt verantwortlich. Besonders auffällig: In Hawaii bleiben die BananaBoat-Produkte überall in den Regalen liegen – offensichtlich aus gutem Grund. Währenddessen sind Neutrogena SPF50/70 regelmäßig ausverkauft, weil sie tatsächlich wirken. Beste Werbung für die Konkurrenz. Fazit: Finger weg von diesem Produkt! Eine Sonnencreme, die trotz sorgfältiger Anwendung zu solch massiven Schäden führt, ist schlicht verantwortungslos. How dare you.

Strong smell gives me a headache! Long time customer Never again!

For several years, the "Banana Boat Sport Lotion SPF 50" was my daily sunscreen of choice for both face and body: It had a nice, thick consistency, with a high amount of Homosalate (A superior UV Filter), and dried clear with a sticky finish that was perfect for applying baby powder on top. The new formula is essentially the opposite of that: It's watery thin, almost all of the UV filters are lower in percentage (how it still maintains the 50 SPF rating from the original is anyone's guess), and it has an incredibly greasy feel that makes a mess of any powders I put on top. It's honestly impressive how much worse this new formula is than the original. Let's be honest: There was nothing wrong with the original formula and Banana Boat knows that. They just wanted to make it cheaper to produce- And it shows. At least I have an excuse to try some new sunscreens now.

I began by applying this product to my neck. I immediately felt a burning sensation and stopped applying it. My neck became very red and inflamed. Now it's the next day and the skin on my neck is still very red and irritated. It feels like a chemical burn. I have no allergies and have never had an adverse reaction to sunscreen. It's worrisome - what is in this product? Are other users also suffering chemical burns? Should this product be recalled? Banana Boat needs to know about this.

This has been my go-to sunscreen for years and the new reformulation has a completely different scent that sucks. It smells like you spilled fruit juice on you and let it sit on your skin all day. Why would anyone want to smell like that?? The old formulation smelled like classic sunscreen, and I strongly preferred it that way. I will not be purchasing again.

My first order came and exp. date was 8/2025. I reordered and new one came with exp. date of 7/2025. Disappointed that these have evidently been sitting for 2 years and that is what is sent out. No reflection on product, just Target.

If I could give it zero stars I would. I have used Banana Boat for MANY years. I bought spf 50 on 6/20/25, it has an expiration date in 2026. I used it on 6/21/25, reapplied 3 times in a matter of 3 hours and I am SUNBURNED!! I live in Indiana, and never burn no matter what the temp is when I use sunblock. The new formula sucks and I will be finding a different brand.

Bought this product yesterday and after it made my skin so itchy it’s just terrible.

I bought this for the high SPF and because I exercise in the sun. Unfortunately this product makes me break out in acne all over my arms and back after I use it, two or three times now. I do have combination/oily skin but I’ve never broken out from sunblock so much as with this one in particular. So if zits are an issue I would stay far away from this one.

Is it normal there is isn't any information in the bottle itself, just in a sticker applied to it? Also, no lot number or date code? I have currently one bottle with full information printed directly on the bottle, but also 2 other bottles with incomplete information (no exp date/lot number) on a sticker, not in the bottle itself. How do I know they are all good?

Great. It was a very nice product

I have been using this sunscreen for the past 15 days. Initially I thought it might be change of weather that's making my skin sunburnt but even after so many days it still doing the same thing. I don't usually go out in the sun for more than 1 hr but still my skin kept getting darker and darker. Please don't buy this product, it's a scam. (You can check the difference in skin color in outside and underside of arm)

Bought the spray because of the chance of refilling, the sprayer doesn’t work after first use

All week in Jamaica I’ve been using sunblock. Today I opened the banana Boat one and my husband and I applied it multiple times throughout the day. We are burnt to a crisp! Never once got burned using the other brands the past 6 days. Very disturbing.

SPF50+ and 30 both are useless products, not effective. Burned in 2 hrs.

Doesn’t work. Was really hoping for good things based on the claims the sunscreen makes but I still got burnt within 30 minutes of being in the sun. Lowkey embarrassing how bad Banana Boat got this (for them, not me).

Applied liberally but still got burnt so badly after 1+ hour in the sea. Doesn't seem to be waterproof at all!

After a lifetime of sunscreen use (I am 49 years old and a public health professional), I was shocked to burn while using product as directed. On the same day, I did not burn in areas of my body where I was using a different brand. Checked expiration date (of course) but that was not the problem.

Applied this twice during golf and applied a LOT. Morning golf, done by 11:15 am and I still feel like my forearms are on fire and burnt. I do not burn easily, AT ALL, so this makes me wonder if the sunscreen did anything at all.

This stuff doesn’t work at all. You’d be better off using nothing.
