I looooove this sunscreen! I've always tended to buy brands like DDF or Clinique, but I needed larger quantities (at a lower price) because I'm starting college and have to walk around campus in 100+ degree heat for hours. I'm a redhead, burn incredibly easily, and do not tan. Ever. I burn, then peel. A sunburn will also trigger a shingles outbreak, which is so incredibly painful I cannot describe it. Skin cancer is prevalent in my family, so I'm a bit paranoid about it, also.

My problem with sunscreen is I'm apparently more sensitive to smell than other consumers. Most that say they're "fragrance free" are really just unscented, which isn't the same thing. The acrid chemical smell of most sunscreens sticks in my nose and won't go away for days. (Neutrogena, for instance, although frangrance free, burns the inside of my nose when I breathe in the smell.) I bought Blue Lizard because the reviews seemed to find it both effective and low odor....

SO TRUE!!! I love it. It has a really faint smell like someone thought about maybe scenting it, then changed their mind. It's very faint, though, a lot like a light fragrance might linger after using a scented soap. The lotion is thin, but not in a bad way -- it makes it easy to apply and it sinks in faster. (Dry off any sweat before applying it, though, because this can make it too thin.) I'd suggest applying it thick enough so you can still see it a bit, then let it sink in. It will disappear on its own, and otherwise I'm not sure it's enough protection, being so thin, but I don't really know.

I love this lotion. I'm going to buy more, so I can keep some in the car, at home, and in my purse.

Be careful...people say Blue Lizard is great for sensitive skin, but they mean the Sensitive Skin formula. This regular formula has many of the same chemical sunscreens as many other brands, even though it does have zinc oxide for UVA protection (which is good if you're specifically allergic to, say, Avobenzone). Because my daughter and I didn't know which chemicals we were allergic to, we tried this one thinking the Zinc would help. Both of us had a reaction--not very serious, but still (one or two hives, a small rash). If you have very sensitive skin, stick to the Sensitive Skin formula. If not, this is one of the best sunscreens in terms of staying power, easy to rub in, not greasy/sticky, etc.

        We boat almost every weekend and also have a lot of land to mow so we are always outside in the hot sun. So when a friend recommended this product we bought and have never looked back. We love Blue Lizard. It really protects our faces, ears, neck and shoulders.

            Blue Lizard has seriously changed my life. I hadn't been able to spend a day on the beach comfortable for years without going through agony after. A doctor recommended Blue Lizard and I now refuse to use anything else. Thank you!

            Comments about Blue Lizard Australian Suncream Lotion, Regular, SPF 30+, 8.75 fl oz:

            This is pretty much the only sunscreen I can count on to keep my red-head from burning. It is really hard to find in stores (and this year it was in such short supply that I had to order it), but it is some of the best sunscreen we've used. When it comes to sunscreen, I do NOT skimp and I love Blue Lizard!

            It does run easily and is a bit thick, but it WORKS. And that is the most important thing. :-)

            Service and delivery comments:

            FAST delivery, in time for our trip to the beach! We lost our other container, couldn't find any in any stores, so ordered it...it arrived in plenty of time!
