Peripera Milk Blur Velvet Tone Up SPF 50 PA++++ sunscreen lotion (★★★★)

May 26, 2023May 27, 2023Leave a comment

Inexpensive, yet decent protection. Ingredients list is a little scary though.

EltaMD UV Sport SPF 50 Sunscreen lotion (★★★★)

May 26, 2023May 26, 2023Leave a comment

A lackluster SPF 50. Performs more like a very strong SPF 30-40.

La Roche Posay Anthelios UV Correct SPF70 sunscreen lotion (★★★★★)

February 10, 2023February 10, 2023Leave a comment

An extremely strong UV filtering sunblock. I definitely recommend.

A strong performing mineral based baby sunscreen.

February 10, 2023February 10, 2023Leave a comment

The Babo Botanicals daily sheer tinted SPF30 is a solid mineral based formulation!

Supergoop! PLAY Antioxidant Body Mist SPF 50 with Vitamin C sunscreen spray (★★★★★)

February 10, 2023February 11, 2023Leave a comment

The Supergoop! PLAY Antioxidant Body Mist SPF 50 sunscreen spray is an absolute beast of a sunscreen spray. Amazing!

December 4, 2022December 7, 20221 Comment

A disappointing and very inconsistent performer. Do not buy.

November 18, 2022November 18, 2022Leave a comment

Very disappointing. Just roll-on by and choose another sunscreen product.

November 1, 2022November 1, 2022Leave a comment

A fantastic performer. Highly recommended, even my 13 year old son likes it!

Black Girl Sunscreen SPF 30 moisturizing sunscreen lotion (★★★)

October 28, 2022October 28, 2022Leave a comment

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

Shiseido Ultimate Sun Protector Wet Force SPF 50 sunscreen lotion (★★★★★)

October 26, 2022October 26, 2022Leave a comment

Wet Force Ultimate Sun Protector. Like a Japanese superhero coming to save you from the sun. I kid, but it really does!

Missha Soft Finish Sun Milk SPF 50+ PA+++ sunscreen lotion (★★★★★)

October 26, 2022October 27, 2022Leave a comment

With a consistency like milk, this Missha Sun Milk protects exceptionally well. Whether it withstands use in an active environment however, is questionable.

La Roche Posay Toleriane Double Repair Daily Face Moisturizer UV (★★★★★)

October 19, 2022October 20, 2022Leave a comment

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

October 4, 2022October 4, 2022Leave a comment

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.

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

September 29, 2022September 29, 2022Leave a comment

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