Good sunscreen.
We put this sunscreen on and it worked as advertised. The sun didn't stand a chance.

Works Great!!!
Both items work great!!! No heavy smell and I like the convenience of a stick for my face and spray for my body.

Great sunscreen! The cream one doesn’t work in the little rollers though.
This is a great sunscreen especially if you are going to be sweating or in the water a lot. Unfortunately the cream version of this didn’t work in the solar buddies little rollers as it was too thick. Otherwise it’s a great buy! Love the stick and spray.

Best there is.
This is a great skin protector when fishing. Doesn't wah off too fast either. I applied it at 7 am. & 1pm, on a fishing trip and didn't get sunburn.
