What the gurus are saying

Water resistant for 80 minutes, this sunscreen earns praise for stellar performance in and around water and for holding up in sweaty sport conditions. The tropical fragrance lingers noticeably - pleasant but not subtle - and it requires very liberal application, rubbed in thoroughly, to avoid skip areas and under-application burns. It's also a good value.

"Costco also has Neutrogena Beach Defense SPF 60 Plus, um this is a great one also with fragrance. This one you get an eight and a half ounce can so you get eight and a half total body applications worth, because that one total body application is an ounce, so if it's a cream that's roughly a shot glass worth of product, um a dollar a 13 per unit $17.49, this is a good deal."

"It does have fragrance in it but it's great for sweaty humid conditions being outside doing sport. [...] You do actually need to apply it very liberally and then physically rub it in to get an even layer otherwise people typically under apply it and they get skip areas where they burn."

"Neutrogena just in general I think is one of the most innovative brands for sunscreen in the American Market. I really do think they offer some really really great sunscreen formulas and I do think their Beach Defense line is probably one of the best water resistant lines for specifically being in the water. I find their sunscreens incredibly water resistant. This is water resistant up to 80 minutes. It does have fragrance and the fragrance actually lingers quite a bit."

What the evidence says.

Independent of what the gurus think, this is what the published research supports about the main active ingredients here.

Sunscreen filters

Sun protection is the best evidenced way to slow visible ageing, and the filters are what does the work. Mineral and chemical filters both protect when a product is applied thickly enough and often enough, which is where most people fall short rather than on the choice of filter.
