Jack BlackOil-Free Sun Guard SPF 45 Sunscreen

I was so bummed out when my local Sephora stopped selling this because this is the only sunscreen that actually works for my skin. Thankfully, I can get this here!

I've got somewhat fair skin and am concerned about sun protection because my grandfather had skin cancer. Also, at my age I want to do whatever it takes to take care of myself to stay healthy.I'm one of those who absolutely dislikes putting creams and such on my face because I don't like to have a greasy feeling. I've tried a very large number of other sunscreens in my lifetime and I've never liked them because they dripped, left my skin feeling oily, stung my eyes when I started sweating, and left my hands greasy and stinky too after I applied them.This Jack Black SPF 45 sunscreen is the complete opposite of what I've experienced all of my life. Wow. Didn't think it was possible to protect your face from the harsh sun while still staying comfortable.I used it on a two-week trip to sunny, humid, and hot Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. I was surprised that I never had this run into my eyes and cause them to sting. I was well protected the whole time. I think I came back just a little more "tan" than before I left, but that's good I suppose. This sunscreen protected me from burning and turning red, and my skin never got to the point where I started to peel.I always felt "normal" on my skin in that my skin didn't smell or feel funny nor slick or greasy because of the product. It immediately absorbed into the skin and stayed there without running.I tried a little experiment this morning just before I want outside in the hot Arizona heat to work in the yard for a couple of hours:I first applied Jack Black Double-Duty Moisturizer on my face, and then I immediately lathered on a thick smear of this Jack Black SPF 45 Sunscreen on top of that just to see how things turned out. And to further add to the drama, I purposefully didn't wash my hands after applying these on my face, ears, back of my neck, etc. Guess what: went on smoothly. Again, no sting in my eyes despite my heavy sweating. And my hands were perfectly dry and not greasy immediately after putting this on. I just rubbed them together for a few seconds and the mildly thick liquid sunscreen just seemingly disappeared into the palms of my hands.It's a definite addition to my routine. I'll be putting this on on top of my daily moisturizer when I plan on being in the sun extensively. A little goes a long way, so it'll last and is worth the slight premium in price vs. generic/mainstream sunscreens you can buy in the store.

Moisturizing sunscreen recommended by Dr. Dray she’s never wrong!

I'm a natural redhead. This means I do not tan - almost biologically impossible for me to. Because I am extremely prone to burning, I have lived most of my life smelling like Coppertone or some other sunscreen. I've tried just about every kind on the market and have a high opinion of what I like and what I don't. This one, I am neutral about. For the cost per ounce and the application feel, this isn't anything to phone home about, but it is nice to toss into a bag for a day at the beach or to use on your face, neck, ears, lips, etc. while out running errands.No smell. This is a big one. I don't understand why anyone would add fragrance to anything intended to be applied anywhere near the face, neck, etc. It is skin. I don't need it to smell like coconuts. And many people with fair skin, who are the more prolific purchasers of sunscreen, also typically have sensitive skin. I'm please this doesn't appear to have any added essential oils or masking fragrances.The application is ok. This is a lotion, which for the price point, I would have hoped it would have had a smoother application formulation. It is semi-thick, doesn't leave a white cast, but does take a little effort to apply. I'm spoiled to watergel sunscreens, which this is not. Most everything I buy sunscreen-wise these days is Korean brands because they apply like a dream (immediately soaking into the skin, no white cast, and are often loaded with beneficial ingredients alongside sun protection). This is just your run of the mill, just ok sunscreen. It does the job of providing protection, but I wouldn't consider it a luxury sunscreen product.Size. The bottle is ideal for tossing into my purse/bag. I reapply regularly to my face, neck, ears, and arms (openly exposed areas) when I'm out and about running errands.It seems to provide SPF protection. I haven't experienced any pink or obvious reactions to the sun or any sort of sensitivity to the product itself. However, I likely won't repurchase because there are equally as good sunscreens out there with the same SPF coverage, with a better texture, at a lower price point.

Super lightweight and stays on even in very hot humid weather — only catch is it leaves a film and looks like you have foundation on. That may be great if you’re very fair, but may not be if you don’t like the Casper-ghost look. Still, I love it. I know it works!

This is the best American sunscreen I have ever used. Very moisturizing and water resistant. Provides great protection. I have since moved on to European and Japanese sunscreens which have newer and better sun filters than US sunscreens. However if I’m ever in a spot that I HAVE to buy an American sunscreen again this will be it.

Sunscreens usually irritate my husband eye, so I was trying to find one that doesn’t irritate and fortunately found this . My husband is in love with this sunscreen. It’s doesn’t burn his eye nor leave white flakes in his skin. He is happy so am I . Thank you for this product.

Smells good, spreads easy, cool on the skin, penetrates quickly. Not expensive. Delivers next day.5 Stars. Thank you Amazon.
