Light Sunscreen with a Nice Tropical Scent
Sun protection factor: 30 Sun Protection Factor (SPF), Size: 6 Fl Oz (Pack of 2)
I really like this sunscreen spray for everyday use. It feels lightweight on the skin, sprays on easily, and doesn’t leave a heavy or sticky feeling. The tropical scent smells really nice too. Good option for the beach, pool, or just being outside.

Works and feels Great
Sun protection factor: 70 Sun Protection Factor (SPF), Size: 6 Ounce (Pack of 1)
I just got back from The beautiful island of St Thomas USVI and used this product all throughout my vacation. I’m really picky about sunscreen formula and having dark combination skin, it’s pretty important that I find one I can work with. This was great! It was hydrating but didn’t feel too oily, the smell was subtle and not overwhelming, and I didn’t burn all week especially when I was on a different beach in different areas of the island it worked beautiful for me

Very sheer sunscreen.
Size: 3 Fl Oz (Pack of 3)
As always, the company does a good job of providing sun protection without white goopy stuff lingering on the skin. Can be worn under makeup.

Perfect sunscreen for adult men... and others as well

I live in the southwest where you have to use sunscreen on your face every day or it will impact your skin. No questions about that. I use this sunscreen every day as it's light weight enough that my face doesn't look greasy or shiny at all, it flat out works (when I miss a spot I know it) and it reasonably priced. I have no idea if this works in combination with anything else like foundation or make-up but I say for any guys out there that want a simple everyday face sunscreen you cannot go wrong with this one. Buy it, use it, protect your skin for years to come.
