Says SPF 50, but maybe SPF 30 protection.

Decreased in UV protection after about 2 hours. Still received decent testing results. Reapply this product often!

While marketed as SPF 50, protects about as well as a SPF 30.

A mediocre sunscreen lotion. Just use something else.

Nice tube design but mediocre protection.

A very mediocre SPF 50. Performs as well as a SPF 30 lotion.

A typically performing sunscreen for an SPF 30. I do like the name and tube design though.

cle de peau BEAUTE (Shiseido) SPF 22 protective fortifying emulsion (★★★)

More a moisturizer than a sunscreen, but the protection is as good as one could expect from an SPF 22.

Trader Joes Zinc Oxide SPF 30 Mineral sunscreen spray (★★★)

A run of the mill SPF 30. Nothing more nothing less. The sunscreen testing sample also showed rapid evaporation, so there's that.

Hawaiian Tropic Sheer Touch Ultra Radiance SPF 30 sunscreen lotion (★★★)

Mediocre Sun protection. Might be decent for tanning without burning.

Hawaiian Tropic Sheer Touch SPF 15 Ultra Radiance lotion (★★★)

A low SPF rating tells me it may be good for tanning, but bad for sun protection.

Thinkbaby safe SPF 50+ sunscreen (orange top tube design) (★★★)

The winning streak for Think care sunscreen products had to come to an end with this bad performing sunscreen.

babyGanics SPF50+ sunscreen lotion (★★★)

A mediocre sunscreen. Look elsewhere.

Tizo Ultra Zinc Tinted SPF 40 Mineral Sunscreen for Body & Face (★★★)

June 2, 2022September 26, 2022Leave a comment

I test the pricey Tizo Ultra Zinc Face and Body SPF 40 sunscreen. Does it live up to its price tag?
