Pros: No mess, oil free, reasonable price
Cons: Bottle leaked, can't apply it to the face and I'd like a bigger bottle
Summary: I used to worship the sun. I was born and raised near Cocoa Beach, Florida, which made it easy to subject my skin to the UVA and UVB rays of the sun. I used to plant my butt on the beach for hours at a time with no thought to sunscreen. Not only did I...

Pros: Nice consistency, offers a spray version
Cons: Does not include some of the more powerful ingredients
Summary: Banana Boat Sunblock comes in a variety of SPF levels from 15 to 50. (SPF means the SPF number of the sun screen x 20 minutes). According to leading dermatologists after 35 SPF it's not about protection it becomes more about staying power. The higher the ...

Pros: protects from those harmful sun rays, goes on really easy without a greasy mess.
Cons: the cost, but can you really put a price on protecting your skin?
Summary: Last year when I was diagnosed with colon cancer and started my chemo sessions I was warned not to go out into the sun unless I had a big hat (I don't do hats), long pants and long sleeves. Well, living in Kansas where the humidity is horrible during ...

Pros: odorless, sweatproof, UVA and UVB protection
Cons: not the cheapest on the market
Summary: I’ve been using Banana Boat Sun block for two years now and I really like it. I’m an avid cyclist, often spending 6-8 hours on the bike in one day. The sweat proof blend works great. I’ve used other sun blocks before and they always felt greasy or ...

Pros: No stinky smell that lingers.
Cons: There really isn't one I can find.
Summary: I really like this product. There is no strong smell like other sunblocks that linger. It has UVA and UBA which is a good thing to have to protect your skin. It's good to put a lotion on without announcing to everyone I come across that I'm wearing ...

Pros: Helps prevent unsightly and painful burns, skin cancer, and premature aging
Cons: Must know what SPF to use and when to reapply.
Summary: We have been using Banana Boat exclusively for the last few years. I can’t help but sing, “Get on the Boat, Banana Boat….” every time I think of this product. I suppose advertising convinced me to consider Banana Boat wile picking a sun ...

Pros: quick and easy to use, no mess
Cons: hard to apply to face
Summary: Yep, It’s That Time of Year Again! When my kids go on summer vacation, it means endless days of summer fun. For kids like mine, summer fun involves countless outdoor hours. While I will admit to be a bit lackadaisical about application of ...

Pros: SPF 30, thick lotion, water/sweat-proof, hypoallergenic, mild smell.
Cons: Don't get it in your eyes.
Don't put it on your face if it's burned.
Summary: I travel a lot to the Caribbean & spend a lot of my time windsurfing all year round. The sun can be brutal and I needed something that wouldn't wash off so easily. I've tried other products, but they didn't provide much sunscreen & the smell of the...

Pros: sweat-proof, hypoallergenic, and I got to learn a new word...
Cons: a tad pricey?
Summary: Summer's upon us. Well, here just a couple of degrees north of the Tropic of Cancer, it's been upon us for a couple of months. But regardless of where you live, the arrival of summer heralds the return of sunscreen season.
Now, I happen...

Pros: Very effective UVA & UVB protection, inexpensive, very waterproof, does not make me breakout
Cons: Slightly dewy looking skin, but perhaps that's a good thing :)
Summary: Had a lot of sunburns in my 43 years (the first 13 in the California sun, then later, some 15 years in the high desert of New Mexico where I REALLY fried myself, just working in my garden!) By my early 30s I was having precancerous actinic keratoses...

Pros: Absolutely does exactly what it is advertised to do -- protect your skin!
Cons: I really can't think of any cons of this product!
Summary: Before South Louisiana went underwater due to Tropical Storm Allison, I was back in my old home town for Memorial Day weekend.
Because LSU was in the Regionals for the College World Series, I wanted to take advantage of this situation....

Pros: Waterproof, sweat proof, activity proof
Cons: Does what it should
Summary: For years, I've never worried about going out in the sun for long periods of time. I don't normally burn and when I do it tends to be mild. Within a couple of days, the minor burn always turns into a nice tan. I guess I'm lucky in that respect.

Pros: Easy application; little goes a long way; not greasy; excellent protection
Cons: Can burn the eyes...don't spray near your face; I'd like a larger bottle
Summary: I admit it: I like the shade. I get too hot in the sun. And I find it uncomfortable to sit under the sun's bright rays. Still, realistically speaking, there are many occasions when I have no choice but to be exposed to the elements: swimming; walking;...

Pros: Very effective, inexpensive, lasts long
Cons: None
Summary: After having one skin cancer removed (from my nose of all places), I have been applying sunscreen every day. Usually a spf 15 is adequate for daily use, but we were on our way to Hawaii!
I wanted to be free to play in the sun without risking...

Pros: quick, sweat and water resistant, great for kids, isn't runny or messy
Cons: slight oily feel, but much less than normal sunscreens
Summary: I know I need to wear sunscreen, but I absolutely abhor the greasy, sticky lotions. That's why this product is a lifesaver, and the only kind of sunscreen that I use. It sprays on and pretty much absorbs into your skin, though you can still feel a bit of...
