This sunscreen has both pros and cons, in my opinion. I've used it only on my body, not my face. I love Shiseido SPF 55 Lotion for my face, but I can't afford to use it all over. On the plus...

I love this stuff. Packaging lip sunscreen with the regular sunscreen is genius. I also like the feel of the sunscreen on my face. It's not oily. It is a little thick, but it makes you feel...

When you follow the instructions and shake the bottle first, it's less goopy to apply. I've been using it on my face and arms this week and it's not bad. Greasy on the face, but after 15...

This does an "okay" job, I got slightly tanned while wearing this. I don't find it greasy & it absorbs quite easily. My big problem with it is the scent! It's VERY faint, but I know it's there & I...

This stuff is great. I have dry skin on my body, and it soaks right in. It doesn't feel greasy at all. And no scent either. I love it. I don't use it on my face, though.

I live in FL so sunscreen is a must. However, I have difficulty finding one that has the correct ingredients to protect, doesn't break me out (especially on my face), and doesn't cost an arm and a...

I really like this product. At first, I was concerned about putting it on my break-out prone face; but the FL heat "compelled" me to apply it. Surprisingly, I did not break out from it. So now,I...

This stuff works, and did not make me break out. I tested it when I was sailing & kayaking at the equator-- so lots of sun, reflection off the water & sand, and we were always getting wet. ...

Agree with others that this is a heavy & greasy sunscreen. I would NEVER think of using it on my face! It does leave a slight whitish cast on your skin, but then again, we are talking about a SPF...

English isn't my first language, but at least I know what "NON-GREASY" means. It doesn't mean a face fully covered with butter, does it?

I am somewhat neurotic when it comes to the sun as I normally have very fair skin that burns and freckles easily. So I used to slather this all over on my 15 minute walk to work in the intense,...

The bottle states that "this product is light and non-greasy." Well, I'm not quite sure what definition of "greasy' (and, conversely, "non-greasy") the Coppertone folks are using, but this stuff is...

This may be for kids (according to the TV commercial) but it works great. None of that "suncreen" smell and no heavy feeling like most high SPF lotions. My new HG sunscreen!
