I am very picky about sunscreen that goes on my face since I am extremely acne-prone but less so with one for my body. I was just looking for anything with a relatively high SPF that was inexpensive and had no frills. I reached for this one, which claims that it is comparable to Coppertone SPF 50 Lotion, which I have never tried. Its surprisingly light weight and water based and rubs in a lot easier than say any of the Dry Touch Neutrogena sunscreens. I use this everyday and noticed that while it does protect me from burning or getting sun spots, I still tan a little if I stay out in the sun for a long time, which can't be helped really by and sunscreen.

This leaves a very sight greasy feeling just right after I rub it in but dissipates in fifteen minutes and my skin feels even slightly moisturized, unlike the Neutrogena dry touch which always made my skin feel dry and powdery. I've had this for six months now and after just about daily use on my neck and arms, I've barely made a dent into this 16 fl oz bottle. I remember paying a little over five bucks for the bottle, which makes it an amazing value. I will definitely repurchase.
