I surf regularly, and this is the ONLY sunblock I'll use on my face. The salt of the ocean and repeatedly wiping water from my face are two factors this sunblock endures like a champ! With other sunblocks, I always got burned even after 30mins in the water. With this one, I can suf for hours without reapplying, and I haven't gotten burned once. Best of all, it's got no fragrance, it rubs in completely and it doesn't make be break out or run into my eyes. This is hands-down the best sunblock for water sports! Thank you drugstore.com for carrying it year-round!!!

I was curious to find out exactly how much zinc oxide was in this product. I called Ocean Potion and they told me it contained 2% zinc oxide. I plugged all the active ingredients into Ciba"s Sunscreen Simulator and this one failed the Australian Sunscreen Standard. No other sunscreen that I plugged into the simulator failed but this one. It will keep you from burning because it has adequate UVB filters, but it fails in the UVA parameters. Being a lifeguard on the beach in the summer I take sun care seriously. I won't use this product.
Comments about Ocean Potion Suncare Face Potion Clear Zinc Oxide, SPF 45:
I love this because I use it for tennis and golf on my face only. My face does not turn white like other sunscreens with the zinc. I recommend this to all my friends. It is wonderful.
Comments about Ocean Potion Suncare Face Potion Clear Zinc Oxide, SPF 45:
Perfect for the problem areas. I use this on my nose and face and also on the backs of my hands and arms. I am prone to dark spots and sun poisoning from years in the sun. Zonker and I grew up in the 60s. I used this last week in the Caribbean and WOW ... no burn, no sun poisoning rash and bumps. First time in years. Quick and easy and invisible.

DISCOVERED FACE 45 FROM OCEAN POTION AFTER TOO MUCH SUN IN THE CARRIBEAN - ONE APPLICATION RELEIVED THE DISCOMFORT, I DID NOT BLISTER OR PEAL AND STILL CAME HOME WITH A GREAT TAN! NEXT VACATION GAVE IT TO ALL MY FRIENDS AND THEY HAD THE SAME GREAT RESULTS!
Comments about Ocean Potion Suncare Face Potion Clear Zinc Oxide, SPF 45:
My family love this product. It doesn't sting my children's eyes and it rubs in easily. It has long lasting protection and is great under make up. I love it when I'm riding my bike as it doesn't make my face all sweaty and it's equally amazing when we're all swimming.
Comments about Ocean Potion Suncare Face Potion Clear Zinc Oxide, SPF 45:
I love how it goes on and is non-greasy. The price is an added plus! After going through 2 jars, I then bought a dozen. I kept some for myself and gave the rest away. I gave them to people I care about so they can try it for themselves!
Apply liberally 15 minutes before sun exposure, depress sponge top to initiate product application. Reapply: After 80 minutes of swimming or sweating, immediately after towel drying, or at least every 2 hours. Children under 6 months: ask a doctor.
