What the gurus are saying

For $10, this sunscreen hits something genuinely rare: broad-spectrum protection paired with a moisturizing feel that doesn't leave dry skin uncomfortable. Both reviewers found it comfortable enough for daily wear, and as they both emphasized, that affordability actually matters because sunscreen expense keeps many people from using protection regularly at all. They loved it enough to call it the best budget option they'd tested.

"I hated the Bondi Sands SPF 50 moisturizer and so I've been really reluctant to try anything else from Bondi Sands. I'm sure some of their products are good, I don't want to be shady and say all their products are garbage, but I just really wasn't a fan of that one. It's kind of put me off actually trying any of their other products."

"I love that this is available at the drugstore, that you get two and a half ounces for it, and it's so affordable—maybe the most affordable sunscreen that I am talking about today. I know a big gripe that people have with sunscreen, which is fair, is that it can be expensive, and really everyone deserves to be able to afford sun protection, so whenever I can find some kind of cheaper options for you guys I definitely want to incorporate those into my videos."

"But this was so greasy, I don't understand why it was so greasy on me. I posted about this and made a video about it as it was in a video, a lot of people said, yeah, it's incredibly greasy on me too, and that's even in my drier areas. Here it was just slippy and slidy. I definitely wouldn't say it was non-greasy. However, as a chemical sunscreen, it didn't sting my eyes, it didn't sting my skin. If you have very very dry skin, you're probably gonna love this."

"This is very high protection, fragrance free, four-hour water resistant, and it's for those with dry skin. It's not for people with oily skin. It's super greasy when you first put it on and it only gets greasier with reapplications, sweat, and natural oils. But for 6.99, I think you can't fault it really unless you are allergic to too much grease. I would say it's popular for a reason, but really just for those with dry skin."

"It's broad spectrum because it has all of those filters in it and the best part about it is that it is ten dollars. I actually just found it online for seven dollars on sale, [...] but on a regular basis this is only ten dollars. This is probably [...] the best sunscreen that I have found recently. This is the one I'm going to probably ride the hardest for."
