I wear this sunscreen to go running out in the LA sun. It works well to keep me from being burnt, even though I'm sweating a ton.
I am in love with this stuff! Only wish I had discovered it before my family's beach vacation this summer!
As a pale white Irish girl who grew up being slathered in thick, greasy sunscreen that would make sand stick to me at the beach and me feel overall pretty miserable, as well as suffering with severe blistering sunburns year after year despite being vigilant with sunscreen when I used to work as a lifeguard, I decided to put this stuff to the test but didn't have high hopes.
I was pleasantly surprised by how great it felt after applying, perfectly dry, no greasy feeling at all! I still wouldn't trust it until it had been put to use though, I spent the next several hours at the pool, swimming, towel drying and laying out. No sunburn! It's a little overpriced for such a small bottle, especially the American Skin Cancer Association recommends using a full ounce of sunscreen for complete coverage if wearing a swim suit, and the bottle only comes with 3 ounces. However, since in the pat I have avoided long beach days and prolonged trips to the pool simple because I hate the feeling of sunscreen, and venturing out without it is essentially suicide (long family history of skin cancer) I do think it is worth it. I would highly recommend it!

Must be the weird chemicals they put in for wet skin, but this stuff stings when it's put on your face! Put it on my poor kids face and felt terrible that it stung so badly. Won't bother you as an adult, but definitely go for kid formula for the little ones!

I can't speak to the experience for the woman who said her child was sunburned, (that's terrible)but this product works for me. I live in South Florida, so sun protection is important. Doubly so for me, as I love the outdoors but I am fair skinned and sun sensitive. Last week I went on a strenuous 5 mile kayak trip through the Keys on a very bright and windy day. Lots of spray, hanging legs over the side to cool off, etc. It's June in Florida, so sun is hot and strong this time of year.
The day originally started out cloudy and rainy, but I threw my sunscreen in the dry bag anywaysmart move! At the end of the day, I had two small spots where I "missed" applying the Neutrogena Wet Skinand they were cherry red! Obviously, the lotion works, even on the back of my neck which never seems to keep from getting burned. Ditto for my legs and tops of my feet which were completely exposed to the sun in the kayak, and doused with water constantly.
You need two remember two rules for sunscreen:
1. Cover yourself with sunscreen BEFORE you get into the sun. Sitting on the beach for half an hour without protection before you apply is TOO LATE.
2. Reapply often. If you remember to keep reapplying any sunscreen, it should work to the limits of its SPF. This one seems to work even after applying after swimming or sweating.
Good sunscreen isn't cheap, but it sure beats the misery of a summer Florida sunburn. Don't be afraid to use it.
I like the scent too. It's vaguely like the "Fresh Linen" scents that are so popular.

Used this on my 2 year old a couple days ago on vacation in San Diego. We played by the pool for 2 hours, and I reapplied once. His cheeks are swollen and red with his first sunburn. He's never had a sunburn before with our normal sunscreen, but I thought since we were going to be in the water, that this would be better. I will not be buying again.

These lip balms are awesome! They're huge, they smell absolutely amazing, and they really hydrate. I love that they have SPF, too!
