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

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!

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.

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

While being from a trusted retailer and packaged in an eye-catching bottle, this sunscreen tested with lackluster results.

Although discontinued (and ~12 years old), the Banana Boat Sport Performance with Active Max Protect performed exceptionally well.

The Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Broad Spectrum SPF70 is an effective sunscreen despite being runny

Supergoop Handscreen SPF40 (★★★★★)

While it isn’t called a sunscreen, if it looks like a sunscreen, protects like a sunscreen, and WORKS like a sunscreen, then it IS a sunscreen (to me at least). And what an effective sunscreen it is!

Despite having such an obnoxious name, the Loreal Youth Code Dark Spot Corrector works very well at providing UV protection!
