I stumbled on this product while shopping for our recent trip to Cabo. First, let me say this sunscreen smells absolutely FANTASTIC! I normally use a 30 spf and I found this product to do a great job protecting me from any sunburning. It doesn't feel greasy at all and absorbs easily leaving my skin looking and feeling great! The thing I really like about it is that while they call it a "bronzer" it doesn't give you a strange "fake tan" look at all, it just kind of gives my skin a subtle glow. As you can see in my photo, the product just has a slightly creamy-tan color to it which I love! I can't stand suntan lotions that leave my skin looking white and pastey...This one is my new favorite and I recommend trying it! Read more
This is my favorite sunblock and it is so hard to find the 30spf in stores. I am naturally pale and burn easily, but putting this on in the hot sun not only keeps me from burning but definitely gives me a nice golden tan. You do have to be a little careful while it's wet to not get it on your white cover-up or bathing suit, but after it dries, it's not a problem. Did I mention how good it smells? It's one of the best sunblocks out there, and even with my sensitive skin, in a pinch I put it on my face when I ran out of my face sunblock and had no issues! Love it! Read more
I've never tried a sunscreen with built in bronzer before, let alone one with at least SPF 30 (the recommended amount by dermatologists). Unlike other sunscreens, this does not give you a ghostly cast and the added bonus is the smell. It doesn't have that typical sunscreen odor/spray tan odor (yuck) but a tropical island smoothie smell. So far, I haven't seen it stain my clothes. I am not sure if this product causes breakouts as I've only used it on my body. Update- Used it all summer and found out some interesting tidbits. Even though it may not bronze you, you will notice dark stains coming out when you shower. So, it is a bit like light makeup and the consistency (a tan colored cream) reminds me of tinted moisturizer. The "bronze" is the shimmer you get from the sunscreen which for me (an olive toned person) brings out my tan. On a brighter note, this sunscreen doesn't make you feel goopy and greasy. You may feel heaviness on your skin if you put a lot on but that goes away in minutes. My next step is trying the spray version of this. Too bad Amazon doesn't carry it. :) Read more
I love the Australian tanning gel , it protects you from the sun spf30 or 50 , not oily at all, pleasant gel Recommend it to everyone Read more
These smell fantastic and go on easily - and they're not sticky at all. They really do have a bronzer added to them, as well; I notice instant color as soon as I put it on. If you prefer the same product in a spray (easier to apply) try this: Australian Gold SPF 15 Continuous Spray Bronzer, 6 Ounce It's also a really great product. Read more
A friend introduced me to this brand when we visited her in Hawaii. I am very fair and burn easily, under 15 minutes in moderate sun. This sunscreen worked better than the SPF50 I had been using (the yellow tube white cream). Of course that may be because its easier to use and smells great so I am more likely to use it. Day 1 in Hawaii I burned slightly with the yellow tube stuff, after that I had no issues because I was using this (non bronzing version). I bought the bronzing version when i got back home in the hopes of giving my pale skin a touch of color and that didn't really happen. Have had no issues with staining of clothing or towels. Did I mention it smells good? Very easy to apply, doesn't feel nearly as gross as the white stuff. Try it! Read more
Hands down my favorite spf, and I've tried them all at this point. I have very sensitive, dry, fair skin that burns very easily and reacts negatively to everything. This stuff causes no negative reaction, even when I use it on my face. Even better, I have never gotten burnt using this. It's SO effective. Something about the gel formula makes this a lot more waterproof and it soaks into my skin better, so I think that makes it work significantly better on me. Read more
I like this stuff. Smells really good. Skin cancer is no joke. I have it so now I use plenty of sun screen. Growing up in So. Fla. you get plenty of sun. In the 60's and 70's our teenage idea of sun screen was baby oil :) Add owning boats and working on boats through college, along with being a lifetime fisherman, and the skin takes a beating. Cover up folks. Or plan on seeing a Dermatologist 2-4 times a year and hope you have good insurance. The damage begins at an early age even though you may not notice anything. So protect yourselves. Also.....when the spritzer stops spritzing open the bottle. There will be plenty left that you cannot see from the outside. Read more
