    It serves its purpose BUT! Wearing this is a sensory nightmare. It’s super greasy and gets on everything. The smell is also so strong it lingered on my skin even after exfoliating in the shower. I think I would rather be sunburned…

    Pleasant and Effective

    I don’t generally like sunscreens, but this is my favorite! It’s waterproof but still on the less greasy end, smells quite good, rubs in easily, and doesn’t make me extra pale. We recently went on a river rafting trip that was supposed to be less than 3 hours and ended up as 5 1/2, most of it in the sun with bare shoulders. I was so worried I would get burned, but it did its job and I came out totally fine!

    DO NOT BUY

    Literally the worst sunscreen I’ve ever used, did nothing to protect me from getting sunburnt and looked like I didn’t even use sunscreen at all! (I reapplied 3 times) Was left with a lot of sun blisters and irritated my skin very back. DO NOT USE.

    turned all my white/light colored bathing suits green and no, it doesn’t was out. Not to mention also stained and ruined my siblings as-well. All the towels we had been using, all have green/yellowish imprints where we laid on top of them. Just when I thought I couldn’t get worse, my SKIN is green where I am peeling and also doesn’t wash off. Hundreds of dollars worth of clothing and swimwear all ruined.

    Bad smell

    Smells like I’m wearing a stinky cheap air freshener. Horrible smell! I put a tiny bit on the back of my hands and I can’t stand it, it’s awful. Feels greasy, sticky and stiff on my skin.

    Great protection and great for sensitive skin

    I used this sunscreen all summer long! It’s doesn’t break out or irritate my skin. It gives great protection. Just wish it lasted longer like it claims.

    good sunscreen

    Honestly so good and I actually like the smell of it. It doesn’t irritate the skin but sometimes it does leave a white cast on the skin which is so ugly

    Great protection from the sun while also waterproo

    One of my go to beach purchases. This is great in water- lasts a long time and has full protection. It’s easy to put on and does not feel greasy. It is also easy to wash off at the end of the day.

    This really does protect you from the beach sun

    I love this sunscreen and my main reason is the high spf. I got sun poisoning so bad last year at the beach that I could barely walk for 2 weeks. So next time I went to the beach I used this and let me tell you, it worked amazing! I didn’t get any type of sunburn whatsoever. This really does stand by its name - beach defense because it works so good. I love the texture and consistency, it’s not heavy and it does blend in super easy. It’s not sticky which I love because I hate sunscreens that feel sticky. No strong weird scent which I love too. Overall a really great sunscreen if you need protection. This works.

    Skin protection

    I love the glowing shine. It leaves on my skin. It’s easy to reapply. It’s very smooth to the touch. Does not cause any breakouts or strong issues to my face or lips.
