Vanicream Sunscreen, SPF 50+ 4oz

I love this sunscreen. It is in a tube form so you have to rub the cream on but there is no fragrance or greasiness to it. It is a bit thick but works well. Last for 4 -6 months depending on how often you use. This was recommended by my dermatologist.

My Dermatologist recommended this. I am a senior, fair skinned & spent too much time in the sun when I was younger - did not use sunscreen. The last few years any exposure to sun resulted in red skin on forehead & nose. I told my Dermatologist that I wear sun visors & he said wear hats, he has seen too many women with scalp cancer that wear sun visors. Since this sunscreen is more expensive than a lot, I only use it on my face. It is not greasy & goes on smooth. Good results, worth the money.

So I’m not really a big review writer for anything. But I MUST say that I LOVE THIS SUNSCREEN!!! *insert tears of joy here* Recently, I’ve become a big proponent of sunscreen, specifically mineral sunscreen. As a darker skinned black woman, the chance of me experiencing sunburn is low (I never have), but I’ve seen the effects of the sun with hyperpigmentation on my skin. My previous line of sunscreen had been discontinued and I needed a new mineral sunscreen to try. My sister had recommended it to me in terms of the lack of a white cast, and that’s what drew me to it. I liked the amount I was receiving in relation to the price so I decided to give it a try and so far so good!! I must say that I am loving the easy glide of this sunscreen! The lack of a white cast (especially when I rub it in)! And just how well it went with my other products! I have oily, acne-prone skin and adding layers of products on my skin can be challenging, but this product works really well with my benzoyl peroxide and Cerave mix much better than my last sunscreen. I can’t say much about the protection yet since it’s only been a few days, and the smell is nothing to die for (I actually smell nothing), but if you’re looking for a mineral sunscreen that has a decent spf, and goes on without a trace, check this one out!

This sunscreen is awesome if you are sensitive to the chemicals in other sunscreens! Its a good consistentacy, and absorbs into the skin quickly. I still have a little irritationon my face, but nothing close to regular sunscreen. I try to wear a hat most of the time, but for the times when I'm swimming or just without a hat. This sunscreen works great!

So last year, out of no where I developed ezcema on my face and some parts of my body. So weird bc I've never had any problems with my skin. Anyhow, my skin was pretty bad when that happened. I would get some flare ups that wouldn't even let me sleep. Well my dermatologist recommended this brand and gave a tiny sample and I loved it. My skin immediately responded to it. So when I used it last winter I was afraid that this summer my skin would be bad again bc of the sun so I got this cream and while in Mexico used it and jeez it was hot over there and not a skin problem at all. I love love love this brand. Would never use regular SPF ever again.

Great stuff. A little goes a long way and it rubs in so you don't look like a ghost! I noticed if you use too much sun protection is less period make certain you put it on at least 15 to 20 minutes before you're going to be in the Sun. Don't wait until you're in the sun to put it on. I've tried every sunscreen known to mankind and this is by far the best. I'm a professional that works in the Sun and this is my most important piece of equipment.

Overall, it’s ok. It’s mildly hard to spread. And there is indeed a residue, even after showering, even the next day, though having a residue was only very-mildly bothersome. Maybe there has to be a residue for the product to stay on well during exercise, and/or to have such a strong SPF, 50+. On the other hand, it’s nice to be able to spread sunscreen easily, and to shower-off one’s sunscreen, and SPF 30 seems good enough, so a far better alternative is ‘Blue Lizard Sensitive Mineral Sunscreen – No Chemical Actives – SPF 30+ UVA/UVB Protection, 5 oz’. And that latter product stays on decently long during exercise, and is much cheaper per ounce. Both products seem smell-less, and seem to be healthy according to EWG dot org.

This is the best sunscreen ever made. I have allergies to so many skin products that before this one I would itch and get ugly skin rashes from a large variety of different sunscreens. I tried the most expensive sunscreens in cream or spray and nothing is better than this product. I use a lot of vanicream products. The moisturizer in the tub is great. I have less facial wrinkles than most people 10 years younger than me.
