I'm a big proponent of using sunscreen year-round and I've generally had good luck with Hawaiian Tropic sunscreens. I'm with Lady5andy--this is a good sunscreen for the most part (I've used it in...

I'm in the minority here but I'm not a fan of this sunscreen. I'm a fan of Hawaiian tropic products, but this is not my favorite. The shimmer are really apparent, and they also get everywhere in a...

Love how Hawaiian Tropic sunscreen smells and the scent lasts on skin. The Shimmer Effect Sunscreen I got is SPF 30, perfect for everyday use in Summer. I used to use Hawaiian Tropic Sheer Touch,...

This is probably my favorite sunscreen ever. I got this before a recent trip to Jamaica and I'm so glad I chose this instead of a plain old regular sunscreen. I love shimmery body products, and...

This sunscreen smells amazing and leaves a beautiful shimmer on your skin. I haven't tried it on my face yet, so I don't know how it would work there but it is great on the rest of my body.

I don't have anything new to contribute that other reviewers haven't already said about this, but I loved it so much, I wanted to review. The one thing I would add is that because it's such a...

Another summer staple for me -- this smells nice (light coconut scent), has a pretty, subtle shimmer, doesn't feel sticky or tacky, and keeps my arms and chest from getting burned during my commute...

As soon as I saw my skin in the sun I was in love with this sunscreen. Very tiny golden shimmers, it was so pretty and subtle. So often products that claim to shimmer actually have large pieces of...
