Sun Bum Daily Face Liquid Moisturizer SPF 50 sunscreen lotion (★★★)

May 27, 2025May 30, 2025Leave a comment

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

May 23, 2025May 23, 2025Leave a comment

Despite being marketed as just a moisturizing lotion, this product protects like a SPF 40-50!

A strong performer for a tinted, light-weight, mineral-based, sunscreen formulation!

Poor performance. Tinted the color of a persimmon or dried apricot.

A poor performing sunscreen lotion. Not recommended.

Supergoop has gone mineral based! A decently performing SPF 30 offering from a brand I trust.

Exceptional tinted sun protection. Highly Recommended!

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

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

CeraVe AM Facial Moisturizing Lotion with SPF30 Sunscreen (★★)

June 2, 2022September 26, 2022Leave a comment

The CeraVe is primarily marketed as a facial moisturizing lotion, yet also contains a broad spectrum SPF30. I set out to test its UV blocking effectiveness.

Trader Joe’s Sunscreen Lotion (Face & Body) SPF 30 (★★)

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

L’oreal Youth Code Dark Spot Corrector SPF30 review (★★★★★)

February 23, 2022September 26, 20221 Comment

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

Badger Kids Broad Spectrum SPF30

Badger Kids Broad Spectrum SPF30 (Tangerine & Vanilla) review (★★★★)

February 13, 2022September 26, 2022Leave a comment

I test the Badger Broad spectrum SPF30 kids sunscreen. Its high viscosity leads to higher protection from UV rays.
