Alba Very Emollient Sunscreen SPF 30, Fragrance Free, 4-Ounce Tube

I just got one of the worst sunburns of my life after having spent about 3 hours working in the sun and having applied this stuff twice. It's as if I never even used sunscreen at all and I slathered this junk on pretty heavy both times.

They have some nerve calling this junk "sunblock."

I bought this for my 2-month trip to the Philippines.While at the beach, I had this plus a generic spray-on suncreen from Target at SPF 50.

I'm filipino and I tan very easily.I had gotten sunburned for the first time in my life while visiting the Philippines 18 years ago so I wanted to make sure I wouldn't have a repeat of the agony I placed myself in by going to the the beach with no sunscreen.

I purchased the Alba sunscreen because I already use Alba lotions and absolutely love them!I wanted to see how their sunscreen would turn out.I pushed out a small amount of this sunscreen and massaged it into my arm and was surprised to see how thick it was.Eww.I wanted something a lot lighter feeling on my skin while at the beach but I was still willing to give this a try.So, I went ahead and put it just on my arms and used the spray-on sunscreen for the rest of my body (not my face).

The Alba sunscreen was alright most of the afternoon.It held up in the water but I just couldn't get over that thick sticky feeling it left.

For the rest of my trip, I stuck to my generic spray-on sunscreen because it was much more lighter and easier to use in application.Plus, it cost way cheaper than this tube from Alba.
