SolRx WaterBlock Matte Zinc Sunscreen, SPF 50, 3.4 oz tube

The "waterblock" technology really works. I have very sensitive skin- melasma that easily recurs after exposure to sunlight. I almost gave up surfing due to the sun exposure, but then I found this sunscreen. It keeps me protected during the hours I spend in the ocean, without having to go back to the beach to re-apply sunscreen. I hope they never stop selling this!

I’m a redhead, fair skinnered. I spend a lot of time outdoors — kids sports, surfing, etc. This is the only sunscreen I’ve found that will 100% keep me from burning for long periods of time without reapplication. If I’m not getting wet I can wear this all day without reapplying. If I’m getting wet it depends on how much I’m rubbing my face as to how often (if at all) I need to reapply. It’s not 100% mineral. It leaves me with a bit of a greasy sheen so I don’t use it when going out if I care about that (eg a downtown day out on the town). I’ll use this on my face/neck/hands/etc then something else if needed on other parts of the body because it goes on thick and is expensive. I love this stuff.

SolRx is the best sunscreen you can get, I do a lot of cycling and live in south Florida, they make another sunscreen that is a more creamy, I use both

It protects well but is greasier than I would have liked. When I first opened the package it was greasier than when I got toward the bottom of the tube. I found you have to shake it vigorously and often to try to cut down on the greasy factor. However, despite this, it still protects from the sun very well and does not seem to clog my pores.

I believe this product might have some trace nickel in it because I broke out and am allergic to nickel. I'm not sure what else would be causing the allergic reaction. I gave it 3 stars because my bonus boys use it, and it works well with their skin. It does stay white on the skin unless rubbed in very well.
