Nice tube design but mediocre protection.

An extremely strong UV filtering sunblock. I definitely recommend.

October 28, 2022October 28, 2022Leave a comment

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

October 19, 2022October 20, 2022Leave a comment

A highly effective UV protecting daily facial moisturizer. Performs better than some sunscreen only formulations.

A very high performing acne sensitive SPF 50 sunscreen lotion. Recommended.

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

October 3, 2022October 4, 2022Leave a comment

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

SVR Cicavit + Creme SPF 50+ sunscreen lotion (★★★★★)

September 27, 2022September 28, 2022Leave a comment

The highest performing chemical based sunscreen I have tested to date. Way to go SVR!

Beauty of Joseon Relief Sun Rice + Probiotics SPF50 PA++++ sunscreen lotion (★★★★)

September 20, 2022January 18, 20251 Comment

Rice and probiotics. Its not the latest health food craze, but rather, a strong performing sunscreen. Overlooking its tendency to evaporate of course....

Alba Botanica Sheer Shield Sweet Pea SPF 45 Sunscreen lotion (★★★★★)

September 18, 2022September 26, 2022Leave a comment

A very strong performer from a brand that I've begun to trust. Great price/performance!

Biore Aqua Rich Watery Essence SPF 50 PA+++ sunscreen lotion (★)

September 6, 2022August 15, 202312 Comments

Worst UV blocking sunscreen I have ever tested. Too bad, because everyone loves and uses it.

Trader Joe’s Daily Facial SPF 40 Invisible Gel (★★★★★)

August 27, 2022September 26, 20221 Comment

An invisible gel which is meant to be used as a daily facial SPF 40. It is extremely low priced for the very high UV protection that it offers!

August 27, 2022September 26, 20235 Comments

Another fantastic lotion from the Supergoop! family of sunscreen products, just invisible!

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

August 26, 2022September 26, 2022Leave a comment

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

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

August 22, 2022September 26, 20221 Comment

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

Sun Bum Original SPF 50 sunscreen lotion (★)

August 20, 2022September 26, 20224 Comments

Absolutely the worst sunscreen I have tested to date. DO NOT BUY.
