Biore Aqua Rich Watery Essence SPF 50+ PA++++ (2023) sunscreen lotion
Tested new in 2023 (vertical writing on bottle). Still terrible and not recommended.
Sun Bum Face SPF 70 sunscreen lotion
Provides strong protection. Recommended.
Eucerin Advanced Hydration SPF 50 sunscreen lotion
A poor performing SPF 50. Not recommended.
Bondi Sands Fragrance Free for Face SPF 50 sunscreen lotion
Nice tube design but mediocre protection.
EltaMD UV Sport SPF 50 Sunscreen lotion
A lackluster SPF 50. Performs more like a very strong SPF 30-40.
Supergoop! PLAY Antioxidant Body Mist SPF 50 with Vitamin C sunscreen spray
The Supergoop! PLAY Antioxidant Body Mist SPF 50 sunscreen spray is an absolute beast of a sunscreen spray. Amazing!
EltaMD UV Clear SPF 46 Facial Sunscreen Lotion
A disappointing and very inconsistent performer. Do not buy.
Black Girl Sunscreen SPF 30 moisturizing sunscreen lotion
A typically performing sunscreen for an SPF 30. I do like the name and tube design though.
La Roche Posay Toleriane Double Repair Daily Face Moisturizer UV
A highly effective UV protecting daily facial moisturizer. Performs better than some sunscreen only formulations.
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.
SVR Cicavit + Creme SPF 50+ sunscreen lotion
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
Rice and probiotics. Its not the latest health food craze, but rather, a strong performing sunscreen. Overlooking its tendency to evaporate of course....
Biore Aqua Rich Watery Essence SPF 50 PA+++ sunscreen lotion
Worst UV blocking sunscreen I have ever tested. Too bad, because everyone loves and uses it.
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.
Alba Botanica Hawaiian SPF 45 Sunscreen review
The Alba Botanica Hawaiian SPF 45 is a strong performing UV ray blocking sunscreen lotion. Recommended.
Banana Boat Sport Performance SPF 100 with Active Max Protect review
Although discontinued (and ~12 years old), the Banana Boat Sport Performance with Active Max Protect performed exceptionally well.
Sun Bum Original SPF50 sunscreen spray
Could a chemical based spray sunscreen be bad? Despite using 4 different UV blocking agents, this sunscreen provided very little UV protection.
Precious Mineral Etude House B.B. Cream SPF30 PA++ Blooming Fit review
Despite the bad looking sample, the Etude House BB Cream SPF30/PA++ works well as a sunscreen.
Missha No.23 B.B. Cream SPF42 PA+++ sunscreen review
A review of the Missha No.23 B.B. Cream SPF42 PA+++ sunscreen. A very consistent performer which blocks 85% of UV irradiance!
