Even though this lotion says non-comedogenic, I'm pretty sure it's caused my breakout this past week, since I haven't changed anything else I've done. Additionally, it stings in some places when I apply it, and a small area near my mouth has become red and sore. I also agree with the other reviewer - this lotion doesn't blend into my skin; no matter how much I rub it in, it still appears as a white paste. So much for SPF; I've had better success with much cheaper products.

Look from a redhead who's worn high SPF's most of her life...the best suggestion I can give is to use the spray on kinds the higher the SPF because the lotions are just going to be heavily viscous and never rub in very well.

I have used this cream for quite some time. The cream prevent any oily condensation from forming on my face while keeping it fresh through out the day. Read some of the reviews regarding white streaks on the face due to applying this cream. I found it to be true when more cream is applied to one spot but when it is applied little by little in layers the face does not have any marks. The cream does occasionally sting at places. But over all I feel it is a good investment.

My kids refuse to use this product because it leaves disgusting greasy white flakes and balls of lotion, no matter how well you rub it in. It's like you're sweating sunscreen. It makes you look awful and feel slimy, especially if you're doing anything active .... It protects against sunburn but I can't recommend it due to the after-effects of application. NOT a good product.

I've used this product for a little over a year on my entire family, including my toddler son. It spreads and blends in way easier on my son's face than some of the other baby sunscreen brands such as neutrogena. My son had a big problem with eczema, and this product was the only thing that didn't exacerbate it. Even though this is an oil free product, it initially feels just a tad greasy on, and provides the moisture that my son needs. I also have somewhat dry skin, that is pretty sensitive, and this product worked great for me. I was a little worried about the fragrance, but it didn't irritate my skin. This is a much higher SPF than most, so it will obviously be different than a lower SPF product, but I haven't had any problems with it. We also have relatively fair skin. It's also best applied when the skin is dry. My husband has a problem blending it in when he applies it right after or while he's sweating--but not any more so than with most other sunscreens. Ditto for when he re-applies it immediately after coming out of the water. Although I use a lighter SPF lotion on a daily basis, I primarily use/trust this Aveeno product on days that we go to water parks, beaches, etc. Lately, I have also been using the spray on my boy's body because he thinks it's cool--making it easier to apply. Unfortunately, the spray does irritate my face a bit (I have no idea why), so I try not to use the spray version on any faces.
