Banana Boat Sensitive 100% Mineral Face Sunscreen Lotion SPF 50, Travel Size Sunscreen, 3oz

Background: I have combination, sensitive, fair, 25 y.o. skin. I am super happy to have stumbled upon this in the drugstore! I have been using this sunscreen on my face & neck for the last 2-3 weeks every day, and... I love it! My skin is sensitive and will breakout in rash or acne easily if I use products that have questionable ingredients, and so far I have not experienced a rash or acne from this! It claims that it will not clog pores, and so far so good for me. The ingredients are great for sensitive skin; it is non-sensitizing. I love that it is fragrance-free, hypoallergenic, and oil-free. I love that it is SPF 50+ because that is plenty of sun protection. I am a fan of combination-sunscreens (a sunscreen with both physical & chemical UV filters). I love the UV filters that are used in this: octocrylene, homosalate, octisalate, and zinc (zinc is a fabulous ingredient – helps with acne & oil production). These UV filters are safe for the coral reefs and environment as well which is great. I have found that it does not leave a white-cast; it sinks into my skin well. It does have that stereotypical “sunscreen smell” which I don't mind and I can't smell it after a few minutes anyway. I can apply this right onto my eyelids and underneath my eyes and it does not burn or sting, even by the end of the day my eyes are still good. I typically use a moisturizer first and then apply a kidney-bean sized amount of the sunscreen to my face & neck. The way I use this sunscreen (with a moisturizer underneath) does not leave my skin matte, but I personally enjoy a dewy look because I think it looks healthy & hydrated & glowy. I think if I used less or no moisturizer first and just applied the sunscreen, then my face would look more matte. But it definitely is not like body sunscreen that is sometimes so greasy; this is a good light facial sunscreen. I haven't tested it's ability against water and sweat so I can't speak to that. At night time I make sure to remove the sunscreen using an oil-balm makeup-remover and then use a gentle cleanser, this way it does not sit on my skin overnight. Most importantly, I have not experienced any burning of the skin with this (yay for no sun damage!). I recommend this sunscreen for facial use!

I have oily and acne prone skin that doesn't handle chemical sunscreens well. My first mineral sunscreen was all zinc and way too thick for my skin type. I did some searching and found this sunscreen. I love that it is titanium and zinc. The product isn't thick and super white. I find it also comes off easier compared to all zinc sunscreens.
