“Big fan of this sunscreen! As I am fair skinned and do a lot of walking I wear sunscreen everyday! When applied, the formulation is your typical white lotion, though it absorbs easily and doesn't leave a greasy residue. It also doesn't leave the white shadow which most sunscreen leaves over your skin. Overall a great product for someone who is sun smart as it contains zinc and feels lightweight and non-greasy.”

“I don't think I actually have anything bad to say about this product. I was excited to try this even though I had my doubts that this would actually end up looking 'invisible'. Well it does, and this is a HUGE improvement on the one I've previously used. This is great for people with sensitive skin, like my mum who can't use regular sunscreen without having a reaction to it. The formula is rather typical, quite thick as it is zinc based. Despite this it is easy to apply out of the squeeze tube and rubs into the skin nicely. It goes on white, but when it dries down it turns clear on the skin. After drying it doesn't feel greasy or gross on the skin which is also nice. Great sunscreen for sensitive folks – doesn't make you look like a ghost anymore and at 50+ SPF and 4 hours water-resistant you can't lose.”

“As a fair-skinned person I'm always on the lookout for sunscreen that is effective and comfortable to wear. Being zinc-based, this sunscreen has barely any scent and doesn't have that horrible stink we normally associate with sunscreens. As a result, you can wear it without your co-workers asking "Why can I smell sunscreen?". It also means that it doesn't clash with any perfume that you might want to wear. The formulation is nice and light and absorbs fairly quickly. It's not as chalky as some other zinc-based sunscreens I have used in the past and doesn't leave a noticeable white cast on my fair skin. The inclusion of niacinamide sets this sunscreen apart from other ones out there. You can protect yourself from sun damage whilst also combatting any existing pigmentation. It's very high protection at SPF 50+, and as well as being water-resistant, this a really versatile sunscreen perfect for everyday use as well as days at the beach. I would definitely recommend and re-purchase this product.”

I've tried 2 of their formulas before and upon application it stinks my upper lip area, etc. I wonder whether the sensitive formula will work better.

I'd love to give it a try on this sunscreen as I am going away soon.

Thanks for the reviews

I am in the Sunsense Sport trial. I really like it but I didn't want to put it on my face as there is no full ingredients list. This sensitive one sounds like something that is more designed for the face.

If only there were convenient ways of reapplying sunscreen every two hours...

That's a good point. If you have make up on it's quite tricky to reapply sunscreen.

I love this sunscreen for face and body. It does leave a bit of a whitefish cast when it first goes on, but I apply about 20 mins before putting my make up on and its well and truly soaked in by then. Make up goes on nicely over the top (even my Bare Minerals loose mineral powder foundation, which I have to spend time buffing in sits beautifully on top and it doesn't pill up at all). Very well priced too.
