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

February 10, 2023February 10, 2023Leave a comment

A very mediocre SPF 50. Performs as well as a SPF 30 lotion.

sun bum spf50 spray sunscreen review

Sun Bum Original SPF50 sunscreen spray (★)

February 17, 2022September 26, 20221 Comment

Could a chemical based spray sunscreen be bad? Despite using 4 different UV blocking agents, this sunscreen provided very little UV protection.

aveeno positively mineral spf50 review

Aveeno Positively Mineral SPF50 (sensitive skin) (★★★★★)

February 16, 2022April 3, 20251 Comment

The Aveeno positively mineral sunscreen is a high scoring, UV blocking powerhouse. Despite being somewhat thin when spread, this sunscreen provided strong and consistent coverage!
