Maybe for the kids

I personally did not find this sunscreen to be 'Lightweight & Fast Absorbing' or 'Non-greasy' as it states. It says that it is ideal for daily use on face and body - but there is no way I'd be putting this on my face.

In my opinion, it should only be used on kids who aren't too fussed about the 'feel' of sunblock. But I won't be buying it again.

There are far superior SPF products on the market that are actually non-greasy.

Sunscreen

The Banana Boat sunscreen has a great smell and applies on easily. It doesn't leave any residue and soaked nicely into my skin. However, I did feel it wasn't super protective as I did start to feel my skin burning quite fast. Possibly if I tried a higher #+ such as 50+. I would possibly try it again but would consider other brands first.

Nice and easy

This is a great sunscreen. Lasted the distance, good for my sensitive skin and so easy to apply especially on kids that can't sit still for too long. Will definitely be getting again

Banana boat

Most unreliable sunblock ive ever used.

One summer i spent it at the mount and i was only in the sun for a hour or two, i applied the sunblock over 5 times and i still got the most burnt ive ever been in my life.

Really bad experience and i havent trusted banana boat since.

Tips: * would not reccomend.

Original

I remember having to use this product back in school before going swimming, it was awesome because just a few squirts would be enough and I'd be off again running around, It seemed to have done its job from what I remember, so lightweight and stayed on my body while I was in the pool

Good brand

I really like Banana boat and the fact it doesn't make my family breakout or react. It comes in an easy to use spray bottle and is a thin liquid. It's not too greasy and doesn't have a bad smell about it. I do prefer the cream as its thicker and you know you've got a good layer on your skin

meh

It was through this product I realised I was not a fan of spray on sunscreen. Although for a spray product the spray come out nicely the fact that since it is spray on it is so thin makes me weary of its actual sun screening capabilities.

I like banana boat but will be sticking to the actual thicker lotions

Bit Greasy

Most stores provide Banana boat products in most nz stores. I like to pick mine up from The Warehouse because they often have a sale on their skincare products. When I look at sunscreens I try and go for a bottle that can last me and my family a decent amount of time. I like to choose a sunscreen that can be used for my partner and I and my two kids.

This sunscreen comes in an upright bottle that has a nozzle thats easy to disperse product out of. I notice that this formula is thin creamy and white. I did notice a slightly greasy after feel with this. Has a mild scent not to overpoweing for my children.

I find this easy to apply to my skin and my children find it simple to rub into their skin. My partner has rosacea and sensitive skin and had no irritations at all with it. I found I needed to apply every two hours because my partner and son burn very easily being fairly pale skinned. In the water I needed to apply hourly for my kids particularly because it rubbed off them easily.

Ideally I would expect water resistant protection for up to four hours but didn't happen for my kids. I did have sun protection when I was dry though. I think its priced fairly . One bottle lasted me up to 6 months usage. I wouldn't buy it again as I wasn't a fan of the consistency.

Great product

I found this brand great, it's the only brand we use for the whole family. I love it in a spray bottle makes it so easy for putting it on the kids. It didn't irritate anyone's skin, was easy to apply and soaked in well. Great for use by the water and being waterproof I didn't worry about the kids being in and out of the water. Re applying every 4 hours worked well none of us got any sun burn. Will definately use again.

This boat has sailed!

I like to trial and error things such as sunscreen because there may be one better suited to my skin type or that offers more protection for my skin. This came to my attention on trip to the warehouse where they had 25% off sunscreens, so of course I had to have this. First of all the pump bottle I love because it means I minimize wastage and I don't have to worry about a thick cream to rub in to my skin. I can take or leave the design on the bottle, it's rather bland and unimaginative. It doesn't jump out to me at all besides that it is the Banana Boat brand.

The consistency of the sunscreen is quite watery I find and seems to absorb far too quickly. When it comes to sunscreen prefer to have a white film still visible because it offers peace of mind that my skin is protected. I do prefer 50+SPF but I know that 30+SPF is just as suitable. The smell is quite pleasant while still maintaining that familiar sunscreen smell. I made sure that I reapplied every two hours when I was in the sun and every hour when I was in the water to prevent sunburn. I concentrate on areas like the face and my tattoos (mostly to prevent them fading).

Now for Banana Boat I expected a more quality performance. After four hours at the beach I can almost guarantee that I will be a red lobster despite reapplying as directed. To me this is more suited as a winter sunscreen than a summer one because the sun is far more intense when it's summer. I wear this under my foundation in the colder months just to use it up. I prefer other brands with higher SPF rating though to be safe. I am not a fan of this one at all.

Tips: Reapply often to prevent burning
