About Sun Bum Original SPF 50 Clear Sunscreen
Overall Feedback:
88% positive
83% praised the no white cast effect, but 17% noticed a slight tint
The sunscreen doesn't leave a white cast even with minimal rubbing.
I am a cinnamon toned user and noticed that the cream has a slight white cast which is blend-able but once rubbed in, there is still a noticeable undertone with a purple-ish color.
The sunscreen causes an intense white cast and mild irritation around my eyes.
After applying the product, I noticed a slight white cast all over my face.
84% liked the water-resistant feature
I was in and out of the water all day while using the product, indicating its good water resistance.
The sunscreen seems quite waterproof, despite turning a bit white when sweating. I haven't needed to reapply it.
82% appreciated the moisturizing effect
I don't need any additional moisturizer with this sunscreen. Makeup layers over it nicely if I'm wearing any that day.
When I mix this sunscreen with some face moisturizer and rub it in, my face looks much better within an hour.
I did not experience any negative reaction on my face with Sun bum, suggesting it may have a moisturizing effect.
I can still put the SunBum Moisturizing lotion on top, indicating that the moisturizing effect of the facial-sunscreen is good.
93% praised the pleasant fragrance, yet 7% found it too strong
The sunscreen has a pleasant fragrance, but it may leave a little residue after application that could be uncomfortable for some.
I found the fragrance of the product off-putting. It was added to make it smell like old-fashioned suntan lotion, but I think the product would be better without it. I would have given it 5 stars. I doubt I will purchase it again unless they remove the fragrance.
72% praised the allergy-free formula
With this product, I can now go out in the sun without any issues, but in the past, my face would break out within minutes of sun exposure.
The product worked for my son who has sensitive skin and tends to burn easily due to the amount of skin meds he has been on for years. It is allergy-free and after using it for a week on a beach vacation, my son did not get sunburn for the first time.
I used the product on my face and experienced no redness or allergic reaction. It is allergy-free.
82% appreciated the quick absorption, whereas 18% didn't
I put clear zinc on first, let it get absorbed, and then apply my cc cream for maximum sun protection on my face.
I apply the sunscreen as a thick cream that feels heavy on my skin but it absorbs quickly and leaves a nice, satin finish after about 30 minutes.
I love that this product is lightweight, absorbs quickly, and leaves my skin lightly moisturized without any residue feel.
The sunscreen absorbs into my skin like an average drug store sunscreen.
