I like the cinnamon like scent that isn't too strong. It feels like a normal lotion, not too greasy, which makes it easy/convenient to put spf on other parts of the body. I only wish they had one...

I’m good about wearing sunscreen on my face and on days where I know I’ll be outside most of the day, but not so much when it’s just an ordinary work day. I usually use Neutrogena dry-touch for...

This lotion is amazing! Great for people with sensitive skin, and I love the scent. Leaves my skin moisturized yet dewy, and well as dry enough to touch anything.
Perfect stuff!

This seemed promising - a body lotion that happens to be a sunscreen, rather than the reverse. However, like other reviewers have pointed out, it goes on a bit greasy and stays that way. I also...

I have this in the 12oz bottle and that has lasted me (with daily use) for a few months or so. The lotion is of a medium thick consistency and is very easy to apply and soak into the skin. I found...

I use this practically every morning, whether it's sunny or not! Light scent (I don't find it to be sunscreen-y at all), non-greasy, and a nice amount of SPF for a regular day. Highly recommend!

Ugh, this smells like sunscreen, hands down. There is no other odor and it doesn't fade. I was looking for coverage from incidental rays and this sucks! If I wanted to wear sunscreen, I would get...

I recently bought another bottle of this stuff after having used it a few years back. I didn't remember liking it very much, but decided to give it another try, since I was looking for a decent,...

I hoped this would be like the normal Very Emollient lotion (i.e. fast absorbing, non-greasy), but with sunscreen. It's not. Waaaay thicker, greasier, takes a long time to absorb. Once it sinks...

This is Alba's SPF version of their Very Emollient Body Lotion. I believe it's SPF 16, which isn't much, but it's still better than nothing. Personally, I hate sunscreen and I intentionally...

This is my new HG lotion. I love everything about it, except that it is a little expensive (about $13 for the big size). Hopefully the bottle will last awhile, since it is a very rich formula,...

HG body lotion for sure, thick and creamy lotion absorbs completely and leaves smooth super hydrated skin, spf 16, AND the BEST scent i've ever come across in a lotion. I wish there was a perfume...

Super moisturizing and isn't greasy at all. I mix in 1 drop of jojoba oil with each palm full of lotion to seal in the moisture. This thick and creamy lotion goes on smooth and keeps my skin soft...

I like the concept of a AHA product with suncreen in it, so you don't have to put on separate suncreen when you use a AHA product. On top of that, it is also natural(or almost). I like to use this...
