Beach Defence Sunscreen Lotion SPF50 Reviews

I absolutely love the smell of this sunscreen, it smells like pineapples!
It is non-greasy, lightweight and sinks into your skin quite quickly. It leaves a nice little moisturising glow on your skin and I tan quite nicely while wearing this sunscreen.
Even for everyday use on my face it's great and my makeup sits very nicely on top of it.

The bottle is nice cheery yellow so it even looks great in your beach bag!

This sunscreen is truly awesome and does everything it says it will. We have a pool and spend a lot of time outdoors in summer and are constantly trying different brands. My family can swim for hours without getting burnt and it doesn’t leave you feeling greasy and my face doesn’t break out from using it. The bright yellow packaging is easy to find when you’re digging through your beach bag too!

I had such high hopes for this sunscreen, but it just didn't work. There were two biggest faults: 1) it is sticky, so unless you apply it at the beach, it ruins your clothes. Not really possible to apply it 20 minutes prior going to the beach. And it was uncomfortable to drive, because my clothes were sticking to my skin. 2) it is not waterproof, I found it out the hard way... It needs to be reapplied right after coming out of water, and then you just have to be ready for all the sand to stick on your skin.
The only thing I liked was the packaging.

This is an absolute gem of a find. I don't actually know how I came to have this but I know it was about 2 years ago and I have repurchased about 5-7 bottles since and used them all up. In fact I'm looking at the two bottles I have and need more for my hike tomorrow!

It's a beautiful creamy product with a very pleasant fragrance. That was definitely one thing I liked - it did not have that standard SPF scent which isn't bad, but this pleasant scent just adds to the enjoyment of applying it.

I would say it's thinner than most formulaes (like the home brand kind) but not a slippery/water like texture. It is more a light cream which spreads easily and I find it doesn't leave much of a white cast on my C3 skintone.

As for protection - THIS IS FANTASTIC. I'll admit that I am part asian and tend to tan before I burn (missed the British genes there) but I have leant this to my palest of friends who burns into a tomato and she didn't burn at all! She also didn't even reapply (I tried) and she still didn't burn. Very impressed.

I highly, highly recommend this for ALL use. Beach, day to day, hikes, walks etc. Just remember to apply liberally and reapply as necessary.

Honestly, for me, this product was too strongly scented, very strong florally scent. I'm usually ok with scented products, however, this smelled so strong and lingered on the skin even hours after application. I used this product all over the body liberally and it was only slightly sticky but not greasy at all. I wear it when I am out for a jog and it stayed on the skin even with the sweat, heat and humidity. I do love the staying power of the sunscreen and the high sun protection it gives. Nevertheless, I could not get over the scent, it gives me a headache and also makes me nauseated. Sadly, I would not repurchase this and I could not manage to finish the product because of the strong scent. If it was unscented, I would definitely love it more.

This sunscreen lived in my desk drawer for using before lunchtime walks. It's very light so it felt more like applying a moisturiser than sunscreen which makes it pleasant to use, especially with its lovely smell. It doesn't leave my skin feeling greasy or looking ghostly which are both important, especially for using on the face. It also doesn't leave me looking shiny.

It's made in Canada and contains the usual list of active ingredients. It is water resistant for 4 hours but as with all sunscreens they recommend reapplying frequently. The bright yellow bottle is easily found in your beach bag (or desk drawer!) and the flip top means no losing the lid.

I didn't get sunburnt while using it but I take all the usual SunSmart precautions anyway.

I won't repurchase because my husband prefers a different brand, however if I were buying just for myself it would definitely be high up on my list, if not at the top.

First of all this product smells amazing it doesn't smell like sunscreen and it also looks great underneath makeup. This sunscreen has a great spf and it doesn't leave me looking like a ghost. This sunscreen also leaves my skin feeling smooth, soft and moisturised.

I quite enjoyed this sunscreen for use on my body and it did pretty much everything I wanted. Ever since it was introduced, it had a high SPF rating with broad spectrum protection which means great protection even in harsh sun when the UV Index is high. The high SPF is great but one of my favourite things about it is that the formula is fairly non-greasy, unlike many other high protection sunscreens, although even then I prefer not to use it on my face. The smell and packaging round off a really solid product - it's smells like pineapples and is packaged in a cheery yellow bottle. The price isn't too bad and it's even cheaper if you buy it during a Priceline 40% off skincare sale. Overall, it's hard to go wrong with this product.

this has become a holy grail item for me. i have a natural tan so don't burn much, but when i burn, i burn. sunscreens usually break me out and i can't hack the oily feel - however this product is amazing. it smells incredible and fresh, and leaves a light moisturising gloss. its light enough to use on your face which is what i do daily - a little on the face goes a long way and can be worn under makeup. i am going to try out the spray version of this product next. i honestly do not burn or go red when i wear this
