All I have to say is that every negative review, I THINK that these people either did not use the product as described, apply 20 minutes before sun exposure and did not re-apply it every 2 hours OR the lotion they had was an OLD bottle of lotion and the sunscreen lost it's potency, and THAT is most likely why they got a sunburn.
People who use ANY lotion with SPF 30 should NOT get a sunburn, NO ONE who uses SPF 30 should NOT get a sunburn UNLESS they might be allergic to the sunscreens in the lotion, OR they might have had sun poisoning in their past, or are taking medications making them extremely sensitive to the sun. SPF 30 and NO ONE should get a sunburn, and any lotion that is higher than SPF 30, like SPF 45, 50, 70, I have read that anything above SPF 30 is practically the SAME as using SPF 30 ( with the exception for babies and children ).
This is a GREAT lotion to get a nice base tan, and then the last 2-3 days of your vacation, if you want, switch to SPF 15 to get a darker tan. This lotion has a nice scent to it. It is water proof and sweat proof too !
If you're not on vacation and work in the sun all day long, I would say use SPF 30 everyday then IF you want to get darker, if you want, then switch to SPF 15 but whatever the reason for being in the sun, be it that you are on vacation, or work in the sun all day or even at home in your back yard, a person should use a product that has a minimum SPF 15. Using any product with a sunscreen less than SPF 15 and you can put yourself at risk for pre-mature aging of the skin and even skin cancer.
SO ALWAYS USE SUNSCREEN !!!

This product seemed very promising the first time I cracked it open and applied it before going to the pool. But after about 2 hours in the sun I looked down and it looked like I had terrible sunburn (looked like peeling after really bad sunburn)all over my legs.
It turns out-- It was the sunscreen cracking and peeling off-- I've never had a product do that, so, I was kind of confused. Esp. since it says that its waterproof/ sweat proof-- so- that shouldnt have made it do it. It worked well though and I did not get burnt- so that layer that ended up peeling off must have been good sunprotection. the peeling makes me cautious to use it again, but Ive got the whole bottle- so I guess I will.

    I love this sunscreen; it smells great, absorbs easily and gives great protection. Of course no sunscreen is truely waterproof but I have certainly worn this one in the pool and emerged burn free. Definitely recommend it!

      Comments about Ocean Potion Suncare Anti-Aging Quick Dry Sunscreen, SPF 30, 8 fl oz:

      I use Ocean Potion first thing in the morning, and my skin is protected all day long. I begin with water exercise in the morning, then gardening and yard work later in the day. It smells great, and it feals great on my skin. It is non-greasy, and it gives my skin a healthy glow that people comment on. My dermatologist recommended it several years ago, and I've been a user ever since. I've told all my friends about it!

          I generally hate sunscreen - its sticky and thick. This is a nice light sunscreen with a pleasant scent that works very well. In addition, it doesn't have any oxybenzone - a chemical known to be harmful to humans. Great stuff!!!!

                I find the Ocean Potion does a good job protecting me during my noon runs in the sun. It rubs in well and stays on well while I'm sweating. I've had no issues with reactions. Another brand my family has tried rubs off when you touch something, so I don't use that. I also love the scent. A friend asked me about it and I told him I got it drugstore.com. He promptly came to the web site and made a purchase.

                      First used this product in Hawaii and love it. Kids don't complain about having it applied because it smells so goooooood!
                      I am a Summer docent 4 The Nature Conservancy at a beach/bluff area. Along with my official items, I keep Ocean Potion tube visible & offer it to hikers at the trailhead. It's a hit from the minute they sniff it and has probably saved many necks, ears, and noses from sun damage!
                      Wish I could find this product in local store instead of having to order online.
