Summer must have
Great product. Spray format is super easy to use and no harsh rubbing required! Effortless and protected from the sun! Can't wait to use this all summer long with all the outdoor activities we will be doing. I love that the sport-version has better lasting power through the sweat and water!
I like the Coppertone Sport sun screen because when riding my horse I tend to sweat. This product stays on throughout my ride and keeps me protected from the damaging UV rays.
My husband loves the spray type of sunscreens and we buy this one quite regularly for sports and the beach. I like the ease of use for the spray and I haven't had any issues with coverage or burning personally, but my husband has found the application a bit inconsistent. Sometimes there's a streak of red on his leg or back where we apparently missed an area. It's really easy to miss with a spray, and less so with a lotion since you're physically rubbing it in.
I also find the cost is a lot higher... the sprays run out a lot more quickly than the cream/lotion style, even though I think we're getting less coverage with the spray. We end up using up a bottle every 4 days with this aerosol spray, but get a month of use with the lotion style.
Pros: convenience, no sticky/goopy application
Cons: Runs out a lot more quickly, easier to miss areas with a spray, cost
I have been using this sunscreen spray for touch-ups to my sunscreen throughout the day when I am out in the sun. It is especially handy when you’re at the beach because you don’t need to get your hands all sticky with reapplying sunscreen. The bottle is also good because the spray top has a lock so it won’t spray all over the inside of your bag.
The bottle says it is waterproof and “ultra sweatproof”. I agree that it is extremely resistant to sweat, because even when you’re sitting in the sun all day, you don’t get the feeling that your sunscreen is seeping out of your pores.
My only minor complains are that it is smelly and kind of sticky. It is smelly only in the sense that it has that traditional sunscreen scent that everyone associates with summer, and it is very strong. Plus the scent does not fade, so I am not impressed with that. It is only slightly sticky to the touch (on your skin) but in a bug spray kind of way, not a too much greasy lotion kind of way. Overall I think this is a decent sunscreen product and a good value.
I have just discovered Coppertone Clear Sunscreen Oil Free Continuous Spray SPF 50 and it is WAY better than this. My problems with this one (that its sticky and smelly) are resolved with the oil free version, AND it has a higher SPF. I don't think this one is bad, but I would recomment purchasing the oil free version over this one.
