Banana Boat Light as Air Sunscreen Lotion, SPF50

Clean, light and non-greasy. This might be the best sunscreen you'll ever try. As a bonus you can reapply it multiple times throughout the day and it won't become more greasy and perhaps best of all, it won't go in your eyes. There is no white residue on your skin and I didn't get any on my clothes through multiple applications. I would highly recommend this for anyone who works outside like myself, yet doesn't want to go through the pain of constantly washing your face before each reapplication. Best of luck in the sun!

I bought this sunscreen for a trip to Florida but now it's my everyday sunscreen. My job includes driving around to body shops so my hands get a lot of sun, and I'm too embarrassed to wear driving gloves. I was using Shiseido's clear sunscreen stick (also SPF 50+) but had a slightly noticeable tan line at my wrist, both from my jacket and my watch so I wasn't sure if it was really working, despite the good reviews (and $$). This Banana Boat sunscreen feels so good that I decided to try it out for my hands every day, and it's fantastic. Smells good, not greasy at all it soaks right in, and the best part is my tan line is GONE. 10/10 please don't ever discontinue or change the formula.

This is the most economical option for those looking for a very effective but invisible and light sunscreen. I found it very easy to apply and rub into the skin and within a few seconds it had been absorbed into my skin creating a dry and invisible UV ray barrier that I was barely aware of. The two pack was 12 ounces for $15.95—or about $1.30 per ounce—a fraction of the cost of some of the boutique and facial moisturizing sunscreens that will set you back as much as $20.00 per ounce. I use this product often as I rock climb outside here in Las Vegas once a week all through the summer months. The sun is very intense in the Mojave desert, and I have extremely pale white skin that doesn’t tan and burns easily with minimal exposure. This is a chemical—not a mineral based formulation, and it fulfills the required task of preventing my skin from burning.

OK, so hear me out. I've been on a JOURNEY to find a sunscreen that I am willing to wear daily and feel comfortable in. I have tried so many. While I like Asian sunscreens the most for how comfortable they are to wear, they are expensive and hard to find in the US so I have been looking for an alternative. I absolutely hate to feel greasy. This sunscreen does not leave me feeling greasy and does not feel heavy on my skin. It absorbs quickly, and while there is a slight, initial sting on my skin it doesn't burn my eyes like other sunscreens. There is no white cast. It doesn't transfer onto clothing. The scent is very light and I don't notice it once it's dried. At first I thought this was the Holy Grail of a affordable, US made sunscreen, but then I learned there was a catch. I find that my face sweats much more when I wear this. I have never been an upper lip sweater, but when I get hot and have this sunscreen on, I need to dab my upper lip and forehead frequently. I will still use this, especially when the weather is cooler, but have I come to the end of my quest for the perfect sunscreen? Unfortunately, no.

I hate sticky and heavy sunscreen so when I saw the "Light As Air" name, I gave it a try. It is one of the best decisions because it definitely does not feel goopy or thick. It is light as air. It also doesn't smell or look like you have sunscreen on. It's perfect and after using it for my outdoor activities, it worked well at blocking the sun but I wouldn't rely on it to work if you are swimming in the ocean or pool. I think you need a water resistant, thicker lotion for water or strenuous activities. If you want a light as air sunscreen for generally use, it's fine. Oh, it also doesn't stain clothes.

Really non-greasy!! I should be wearing sunscreen more often, but I’m just always put off by the thick feel and the oily sheen most sunscreens give off. This one though - it is truly as close to fully matte and weightless as sunscreens come! And I say this as someone who has also used a variety of Korean and Japanese sunscreens as well (since those are generally known to have a better skin feel than US sunscreens). The feel of this trumps all others I’ve tried. The consistency is still thickish (not so liquid as some Asian sunscreens are), and when first putting on, it has that thick cream feel, but once dried, it is practically invisible. Barely any shine too! I’m oily-skinned and hate when things make me even shinier. This doesn’t. It is also fairly fragrance-free (another problem I have with most sunscreens - having to smell it all day). If you smell REALLY close (like really sniffing), it has ever so FAINT of a hint of mild sunscreen scent. But even after slathering it thick on my face and under my nose, once dried, I don’t smell it even after wearing a face mask. Definitely my favorite out of all I’ve tried.

I've been using this for about 6 months now and have ended up abandoning my fancier tinted face sunscreen. I got this to use for my bike ride down to the gym in the mornings, and it feels so good and weightless that I started using it before work, too. It goes down smooth, never beading up like some sunscreens do. Most importantly, it doesn't feel slick or greasy on my skin, which is something I cannot stand. I'll keep purchasing this as long as they keep making it.

I'm a self-confessed sunscreen snob. I love trying new formulas, and I came to the conclusion years ago that US formulas aren't usually for me. We haven't had a new filter approved by the FDA since the last millennium, and our products reflect that. I can't tell you how many times I spent $40+ on 1.7oz of sunscreen that I ended up hating before I switched to mostly Korean sunscreens; and most of the US sunscreens I like can be described as "good...for a US formula." In short, I didn't have high hopes for this, and I was very pleasantly surprised. This is a very, very good sunscreen even among non-US formulas. It's lightweight, doesn't make my oily skin shiny, and dries down entirely so it doesn't feel tacky or slimy. I can layer over and over throughout the day without pilling or streaks. It also comes in a huge tube for a very low price. The only possible downside is that it's fragranced, which isn't a deal breaker for me. I wish they still sold the 3oz facial version because it's travel-friendly, but from what I can tell, it's the same formula. Try this, especially if you hate thick, heavy, shiny sunscreens. Unless you can't do fragrance, I think you will be very happy with it.
