    Although I said I wouldn't buy this again, I actually have--twice. But I won't buy it ever again. First of all, as others have said, this product stings like CRAZY if it gets anywhere near my eyes....

    It's a good sunblock, but do NOT get it in your eyes, because it STINGS like crazy!!! Apart from that, it's fine.

    Well, I really don't like this sunscreen even though I still use it. I love lavender, but the scent of this to me is like baby diapers! I think it's awful. Also this is ridiculously greasy and...

    Great sunscreen - good protection, nice smell, creamy texture, absorbs easily, and doesn't smell or run into my eyes. I like that it's moisturizing - I no longer have to moisturize in the AM if I...

    I bought this because it was on sale at Central Market. I had high hopes for it, but I was sorely disappointed. This was no where near my eyes- I applied it to my neck, chest, and back, but once...

    This is the best sunscreen I have found that does not cost a fortune. I am still looking for a reasonably priced sunscreen that is sweatproof for my long runs. This stuff works pretty well -...

    I received the 4oz tube as a freebie with a drugstore.com purchase, because while I do appreciate the other qualities of this suncreen, I *detest* lavender and would never have purchased this for...

    I can't use this on my face, but I love it for the rest of me. The scent is absolutely lovely -- very light sunscreen smell (which I kinda like) plus a very pretty lavender. Smells better than it...

    A pretty good sunscreen. I found it less greasy than most sunscreens from the drugstore, and it was effective for me. I used it on my face too, but beware about getting it into your eyes. It stings...

    Avalon recently changed the formula and this is no longer photostable, according to Nora80 on the skincare bb.<p>Besides that, its quite thick and the lavender smell can be overwhelming!

    Spreads much more easily and absorbs better than most sunscreens, and smells lovely! I wouldn't use it on my face, tho, because I'm oily. I found this on sale, so it was inexpensive.

    This is great sunscreen!! It doesn't smell like sunscreen, but a lovely lavender scent that fades away. If you have oily skin, it might be a little much for you, but for my combo sensitive skin,...
