Comment:
Worked very well the first time I used it. Used it for a day down at the Jersey Shore. Figure 4-5 hours in the sun; on the beach for several hours. Went swimming for at least an hour. No sunburn that I noticed. <br />With the CR poor rating for UVA, it's hard to recommend this lotion.
How long have you owned it:
A month or less
Bottom Line
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.

Comment:
This is the only sunscreen I could find that is tear free. I have 5 grandchildren from age 6 to 11. Three of the five are sunburned. The spray was applied to all at the same time, waited before being exposed to sun or water. All in the sun the same amount of time and in the pool the same amount of time. I have never had this problem with Coppertone products, however the Coppertone burns if gets into eyes. (We are not spraying the Coppertone into the eyes, just gets rubbed when wiping face off after going under water.) I sure wish I had read this consumer report article before I bought this product. DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS PRODUCT!
