This Bullfrog Quik Gel is the best sunscreen that I've found for intense sun exposure yet. It is a gel and seems to contain a lot of alcohol, so it actually mostly dries (stays a tiny bit sticky) on my skin and doesn't just float away when I get in the water. It also does a great job of preventing sunburn. I have worn it to all-day outdoor events and even to a water park once and didn't get the slightest hint of a burn. I always wear a long sleeved shirt, a hat, sunglasses, and reapply sunscreen every 1-2 hours when I'm outside all day, but even with all that I used to burn anyway. Not with this Bullfrog! I'm so glad that I found this stuff. I have also used the spray kind and had success, but I feel like I get better coverage with this gel.
The only thing I don't like about this sunscreen is the thing that makes it so great--the alcohol content. It irritates my skin a little (but doesn't cause a chemical burn) and is a bit scary to use on my face. I REALLY don't want to get this stuff in my eyes (the fumes alone irritate them when I put it on my face)! I have experimented with using different sunscreens on my face and the Bullfrog everywhere else; last time I did that I ended up with a burnt nose and cheeks. I hate getting sunburned and really worry about getting skin cancer in the future, but burns just seem to happen to me once in the while despite my best efforts! So for now I will stick with Bullfrog Quik Gel for my face and just put it on very carefully.
I have also found a great sunscreen for when I just need light sun protection. It's JP MOMENTS SPA 34.0 oz Body Lotion WITH SPF 15 By JEROME PRIVEE, and it also seems to absorb into my skin well.

I developed my love for Bullfrog a couple decades ago when I was a surf bum in Costa Rica. This is my favorite modern formulation, and it no longer is being carried at my local Walgreens. I use it mostly when playing tennis or when on a long-distance motorcycle trip. It does leave a slightly sticky tactile feel to your hands, but a good washing and wiping takes care of that. The important thing is that this stuff will last a good 4-5 hours, that it is not noticeable on your skin, and doesn't have that greasy feel. I sweat extraordinarily heavy and Bullfrog still works -allowing my sweat to naturally exit and still providing me great sun protection.I love Bullfrog Quick Gel!!! I was a lifeguard for a few years when I was younger and used it on a daily basis and never burned!!I have very fair skin and this is the only product I can rely on.Now I take it on vacations all over.I went to Aruba last year and sadly forgot to pack it.This reminded me how good Bullfrog is because I was toast within 5 min. of being there.LOVE THE BULLFROG!!!We haven't been able to find this in the stores anymore, and are very thrilled to find it online here. The gel is great because it does not have a greasy feel. I really like to use it on my face because it doesn't cause me to sweat more, and it doesn't run and get into my eyes.
