Banana BoatProtection + Vitamins Sunscreen Lotion SPF 50, 4.5 oz - Nourishing, Moisturizing, Vitamin C, Niacinamide, Water Resistant, Dermatologist Tested

I have been looking for a moisturizer with an SPF of at least 30 and have tried several, but none felt like they had the moisture I was looking for. Finally, after reading a review on Wirecutter, I decided to try this. This product is the one. It leaves my face feeling totally moisturized. A little bit goes a long way. The first couple of times I used it, I put too much on but it sank in and did not pill or roll off later. I can't smell any fragrance at all. I am very pleased.

Bona-fide face sunscreen for the hot, sweaty outdoor days. Doesn't sting my adult eyes, either. Also easier than others to wash off later in the shower.

I purchased it because of the vitamins and skin improvement ingredients. Most sunscreens are just pure sunscreens, which is okay, but I wanted something more, something that might also heal. I feel this works, compared to feeling my skin was getting damaged from the sun when I was using nothing. A little goes a long way.

I bought this as a face sunscreen, hopefully to go under makeup. For reference, I live in the arid western US. I have normal to dry skin. My skin often feels a bit dry and itchy.On a no makeup day, this acts as a sunscreen and moisturizer in one. It works for me as a moisturizer better than the Cereve SPF moisturizer. My skin feels less dry and itchy with Banana Boat. I have no idea how an oily face might react to this sunscreen.On a makeup day, I don't need an additional moisturizer with Banana Boat. Because this is a chemical sunscreen, there is no white cast. I find that I have to let it sink into my skin longer than with the Cereve SPF moisturizer before I can apply makeup. Normally, I only wait a couple of minutes because the Cereve disappears into my skin quickly. Banana Boat needs to sit for a good 5-10 minutes before it settles in long enough for makeup to go on top. However, once it settles, makeup looks and feels good on top of it. It's cheaper per ounce, as far as I remember. To me, it's normally worth doing some other task while waiting for my SPF to settle before doing makeup. If I'm in a hurry or traveling, I'll still use Cereve. Overall, I recommend this to someone who wants a relatively cheap face sunscreen.

This is my Go-To sunscreen. Doesn't leave a white tint. Absorbs beautifully into my skin. Best part it can be paired with my foundation.

Works

I can’t afford to buy expensive sunscreen and I have several different kinds that I use but Banana Boat is now my favorite. It is rich and creamy and not greasy. It does not leave a white cast and does not sting your eyes.

I use this every sunny day in the Spring, Summer and Fall
