Bottle won't spray
I've never had this kind of experience with sunscreen before. No product will spray out. I saw to twist the cap to unlock, like on other sunscreens we've used, and can see the sprayer lined up with the hole in the cap, but the top of the cap won't depress. I reaD the directions on the label, checked if there was some tab that needed to peel off the cap to make it work, had someone else look at it, and still can't figure out how to make the button on the cap depress.

Safe and effective sun protection
This is our go-to every year. Getting sunscreen on the kids is a constant battle, so we were looking for something easy enough for them to have no excuse to apply it, something safe, and something with higher SPF. This fit all of the bills. It gives me peace of mind that my kids are safe from harmful rays, and they're willing to apply it every time they go out in the sun. I will say that it does have a greasy feel, but I honestly haven't found a sunscreen that doesn't (even the non-greasy labeled ones).

(no review title)
I’m writing a review not against the sunscreen, but the shipping process as Target does not have a way for me to “fix this issue”. Sunscreen sprayed over entire box which included 2 pairs of Black shoes leaving white residue and an empty bottle of sunscreen!

Do not buy!
Stained all our brand new swimsuits on vacation, all Neutrogena offered me was a $3 coupon because apparently there’s warning on the back of the bottle that says it will stain. What a joke. Stay away

Good
It is good, not perfect for me but it works. If you are going to use it you have to know that it is a little bit oily so you can feel uncomfortable, but the most important thing is it works as protection

Very good product
Very easy to put on and dries very quickly. Didn’t feel greasy at all. No white cast or anything of that sort. Only downside is just the usual smell of sunscreen

Not your typical sun block
This keeps my skin super protective during sun exposure. The smell is light and fresh. This doesn’t leave a white over cast, it keeps your skin moisturized as well as protected during the sun.

Smells great, easy to apply, and holds up well in
I like using this sunscreen for beach and pool days because it smells good and is easy to spray on. It holds up well in the water and does not feel too heavy or sticky. It is an easy option for quick reapplication when spending time outside.

Great sunscreen
Great sunscreen to throw in your beach bag for the day. So easy to apply with the spray can. It goes in evenly and absorbs pretty quick. Has a light scent and doesn’t feel greasy or tacky. It’s also water resistant which is a huge bonus.

Saved me from many sunburns!
This sunscreen has traveled to many states and countries with me, and as long as I apply it as directed, I have never burned! I love the texture of this spray, the ease of application, and the fact that there are no white streaks like you find with regular lotion-style sunscreen. The gentle scent is nice too! Definitely get this before your next vacation!

Such good sunscreen for summer
I use this sunscreen every summer for pool days. Doesn’t have an overpowering smell and it absorbs good. The packaging is small enough to fit in a beach bag and the texture is not sticky.

It is one of the best.
We always keep this sunscreen on hand. This is the only brand I have in my beach or lake bags. This has been a staple since my children were small. Sun protection is very important.

A great and convenient sunscreen
This stuff is so easy to apply and lasts through swim and sweat. When applied as directed, I didn’t burn while out playing in the sand with my kid all day. I like the typical sunscreen smell and this wasn’t super strong. We also got plenty of applications out of the bottle so I’d say it’s a good deal too!

Good protection but oily
This is a good sunblock. Perfect for a day outdoors, beach,hiking,whatever it may be. This does provide good sun protection and has a nice scent, however it stays very oily on my skin. While it is a good product, I won't be buying again just due to the lack of dry down.

Beach day must-have for ultimate sun defense 🩵
This sunscreen is my go-to for beach days and outdoor plans! It’s lightweight, absorbs quickly, and doesn’t leave that greasy or sticky feeling. I love how it holds up even when I’m swimming or sweating — true to its “water + sun protection” name. It gives me peace of mind knowing my skin is protected while still feeling comfortable all day.
