Neutrogena Beach Defense Sunscreen Stick SPF 50 Broad Spectrum Sun Protection for Face Body Water-Resistant Non-Greasy Formula Travel

This is our go-to sunscreen and my family has not used any other brand since discovering it about 5 or 6 years ago. The scent is pleasant, light, and tropical. Application is quick and easy. It goes on clear (not white) and looks a little greasy at first, but that is actually a positive because it helps you quickly see spots you (or your child) missed. It soon absorbs cleanly and the oily feeling goes away after a few minutes. The sunscreen works really well. My family has very pale, sensitive skin with eczema and easily burns in the sun. It does not irritate our skin at all and provides great coverage. This stuff works very well for us on vacation in Florida and on Bahamas/Caribbean cruises. It fits easily in a small bag and doesn't take up much room. With it being a solid, there's no worry of leaking. I love that you can hand everyone a stick and they can do most of the application themselves. Then we turn around and get the hard to reach spots on each other. And all done with clean hands that aren't getting messy. I would be so sad if this sunscreen is ever discontinued. We have over a dozen sticks in our house/car/luggage at any given time. Read more

Neutrogena Sunscreen Stick SPF 50 – A Summer Must-Have! I absolutely love the Neutrogena Sunscreen Stick SPF 50 — it’s a staple in our summer routine. I always keep several on hand: one in the car, one in the stroller, and one in our beach bag. It’s just so convenient to have wherever we go! What makes this sunscreen stick stand out is how easy it is to apply, especially on my kids’ faces. There’s no mess, no fuss, and no need to rub it in. I can quickly swipe it on even when they’re squirming or in the middle of playing. It goes on clear, feels lightweight, and doesn't leave a sticky or greasy residue. This product gives me peace of mind knowing my kids are protected with broad-spectrum SPF 50, and I don’t have to wrestle them into a full sunscreen routine. Total win for busy parents! Highly recommend for anyone looking for a quick, reliable, and kid-friendly sunscreen solution. Read more

I really like this sunscreen stick! It’s super easy to apply, not greasy, and perfect for taking in my bag. I use it on my face and it feels very light, not heavy or sticky. It’s great for the beach and reapplying during the day. Read more

I have stopped using aerosol type cans for anything and was a dedicated lotion applier even though it's a hassle, the sprays just left me burned several times and the damage to the ozone doesn't sit well with me. I was interested in trying these and evaluating how they apply, feel, protect, and last. These glide on nicely and invisibly which makes it a little difficult to establish coverage, but they give the skin a nice dewy, water beads, and you can sweat normally through it. It's a little difficult to get nooks and crannies (my biggest issue was my ears) but otherwise the coverage was surprisingly good and even and I was able to get my own entire back with it (not without some small difficulty). I did find that it wore off on the side of my body at pressure points that was laying on the lounge chair (I laid out for one hour on each side and when I flipped there were patches that got slightly pink so if you're going to be wet or sweating and in contact against a chair or even clothes for a while, re-apply before sun exposure. It didn't apply as nicely to damp or sweaty skin (no types do) so blot/dry before re-application. These things are small, feel unsubstantial, but I did multiple full body applications, multiple touch ups, and multiple face/neck/arms applications and am only 1/2- 2/3 through one stick. I will be packing more for my camping and then beach vacation with at least one stick for every 2 days just to be safe. You are supposed to keep it out of the sun/really hot temps and I assume it would melt at a certain point and lose it's shape and that's why they recommend it be kept in the shade. Until I find a perfect sport-type water resistant lotion or stick that is also completely reef/coral safe I will continue to use these, I wish they made them bigger though, it's a lot of plastic vs actual product like many other toiletry products.

This stuff is so great. I first used it when I went on a Caribbean cruise & it worked so well. I sunburn so easily because my family has a history of very fair skin. The sunscreen is especially useful at the beach (I live very close to the beach on the eastern coast). I am at the beach very often during the summer. The beach makes it difficult to apply sunscreen because it is hard to tell when you are burning. I put this sunscreen on my face, my bald head, my neck, and my shoulders and I never get burned when I use it. Given that it is in a "stick" form, it is very easy to apply and re-apply. I am very pleased with this product! Read more

This little guy was great! We took him to Greece and it kept us sunburn-free for hours in high sun and 97 degree heat while we were walking exposed in ruins. The smell is pretty good and not so flowery that my husband griped about wearing it. I love having the stick format. The stick went onto my skin really nicely and smooth, and if i made a couple of passes, it was also light enough that I could spread it around more with my hands like a liquid. Having the stick was super convenient to pop into my bag and we had it ready whenever. Forgot to apply before leaving the hotel room? No problem! Need a reapply after sweating like being in a sauna for 4 hours? Got it covered. Forget to take it out before airport security? It's cool - it's not a liquid! Read more
