Vanicream Sunscreen Sport, Spf, 4-ounce Review.
"Summer saver" 2009-09-13
By E. Pirrera (Mercerville, NJ United States)
We adopted a little boy from China, whom we found out on the first day of swimming, is highly allergic to sunscreens of any kind. The allergist recommended this and gave us samples as well. While it is a little thicker than norm, the Vanicream Sport 35 worked well, whether on a FL vacation or for daily pool use. Our other son, who usually gets rashes after a few days of sun and sunscreen on the beach, used it as well. No more rashes!
"Excellent sunscreen, extreme holding power" 2009-08-20
By Steven J. Sorensen
This sunscreen holds up incredibly well while perspiring heavily or when swimming. It does not seep into your eyes at all when sweating. It takes a bit of rubbing to get it in. If you put too much on you will not be able to rub it all in and you will end up looking like a clown. However even if you do put too much on it does eventually fade in on its own. There is no greasy residue with this lotion, which I really like. I had been using a good lotion for a number of years, and then they changed something in the formulation and now I feel like a greased pig when I use it. This sunscreen can be tough to wash off-but that really is a plus. If it comes off easily, then you're not getting adequate protection. I work as a lifeguard on the beach so there really is no better litmus test than what I go through in a normal work day. This sunscreen does the job.
"Sensitive Skin Relief!" 2010-05-12
By narrowfeet (New England)
Having extremely sensitive skin (including eczema), it has been a challenge to find a sunscreen that didn't cause an adverse reaction - especially on my face and neck. After recent Mohs surgery for basal cell carcinoma on my nose, my dermatologist suggested Vanicream - the one product his most chemical sensitive patients could handle. I was skeptical, but agreed to try it - as I now have to wear SPF 30 daily on my face. I am so pleased! For the first time - no reaction, no redness, no breakouts, no welts that last for days. I would recommend this product to anyone - but especially to those who feel as I did that there wasn't a sunscreen made for my sensitive skin. Excellent results.
"Works extremely well" 2010-06-26
By J. Miller (Seattle, WA United States)
I'm on vacation in Hawaii right now and I used this product for the past week. It's almost as if I didn't go out in any sun. I would only put it on once and even with swimming for hours, I was still protected. Love the fact that it has no smell and is not very greasy as I hate putting any lotions or creams on my skin.
My vacation is almost over and I wanted to have at least have somewhat of a tan. I did not put any sunscreen on today, was only out in the sun for less than two hours and now I'm burnt!
I can't believe what a difference it makes.
"Best Sunscreen" 2010-07-01
By JnelZBZH
Vanicream Sport is the only sunscreen I have used now for about two years. It's very low in toxins, it makes a great base before I put on my makeup, and it even helps to fill in my wrinkles! Unlike other sunscreens, this stuff never makes me itchy. Amazon's price was the best price I could find on the internet on the day of my purchase.
