Tessa Flores is a Staff Writer for HuffPost covering a number of shopping topics and lifestyle trends. “It also isn’t greasy or slick once applied, which is like a holy grail as far as I’m concerned. My glasses no longer slide off my face as a result of wearing sunscreen,” one Amazon customer wrote in a review. “I tend to sweat when I exercise, and it doesn’t run when applied,” one reviewer on Amazon claimed. The Sun Bum Daily Gel sunscreen also contains nourishing vitamin E and vitamin C, two antioxidants that can help protect skin further against damaging environmental stressors, while an infusion of coconut and seed oils helps hydrate. ″Don’t judge but back in the day I used to use Avon’s face perfector because it REALLY cut down on the shininess of face oil and it also had SPF. It made your face look matte without any other makeup. And I am pleased that this gel is similar. No face grease. It’s not even really a gel—if instantly feels powdery (somehow?) in your hand, thus it’s nongreasy. It leaves your face shine free and protected.”—DonkeyDoug “No sensory ick! I’ve been looking for ages for a sunscreen that doesn’t give me the sensory ick. This is clear, so it doesn’t look weird if I accidentally leave a small glob at the edge of my face like others do. It didn’t smell weird or overwhelming, which is a HUGE bonus! It also isn’t greasy or slick once applied, which is like a holy grail as far as I’m concerned. My glasses no longer slide off my face as a result of wearing sunscreen and I’m not overwhelmed by perfumes when I use it. I’m a convert! I wish there was a whole body version of this sunscreen because while not having the sensory icks about sunscreen for my face is so, so excellent, I really do need the same for my arms and other body parts. My only reservation about this product is the cost. I wish the price were more in line with drugstore brands prices because I really love it and wish I could justify using it every day as well as using it on my arms, neck, chest, etc as well.” —Dan G “I rarely give an SPF with moisturizer a try. I stay with the same product that I have used for many years, but this intrigued me. The container itself is great for traveling or on the go. When applying to my face, It blended in nice and felt silky. It’s a clear gel that fades into your skin. The only drawback is that you don’t know how much you’re applying or if it’s covering your entire face so be sure to use a plentiful amount so you have the SPF protection. It also blends in well if I haven’t shaved in a few days. Even though the product is fragrance free, there is a slight sent based on the ingredients. If you have oily skin or like a light SPF, definitely give this a try!” —Aaron “This sunscreen is probably the best what I have used so far. Many other sunscreens have problem either with smell, not being good enough for the sun or being sticky or oily. This one feels matte on my skin and not oily at all. The product size is quite small for the price but I’m willing to pay for good product.” —Mrs A
