Lightweight, Smooth, and Truly Unscented — My New Go-To Sunscreen

This is the first time I tried this Banana Boat unscented sunscreen, and I’m genuinely impressed. One of the biggest things I look for in sunscreen is how it feels on the skin, and this one delivers—it’s not sticky at all and goes on very smooth. It’s easy to apply and absorbs quickly without leaving that heavy, greasy feeling.I also really appreciate that it’s unscented. There’s no strong or unpleasant smell, which makes it much more comfortable to use daily.I’ve used other brands before, like Neutrogena and some higher-priced options, but honestly, this one stands out. It performs just as well—if not better—at a more reasonable price.Overall, this is a great sunscreen that I’ll definitely keep using. Highly recommended if you want something lightweight, smooth, and fragrance-free.Ver más

Good for acne prone sensitive skin

I am in my 30s with combo leaning oil and acne prone fair skin with pigmentation issues and I’m on prescription tretinoin every day. I sometimes use hydroquinone when my pigmentation issues flare up. I wear sunscreen every single day to protect my skin. It’s especially important since I’m on Tret. daily. Being that I have acne prone skin finding a sunscreen has always been a HUGE challenge for me. I’ve spent so much time on SkinSort and similar sites looking through sunscreen ingredients lists trying to find ones that won’t break me out. I’ve purchased PLENTY of k-beauty, j-beauty, EU sunscreens and Us sunscreens from Sephora and drugstore only for them to break me out. My skin is very sensitive/breakout prone to long ingredients lists, emollients, heavy textures, oils and lots of botanicals. I randomly stumbled upon this banana boat sunscreen here on Amazon and saw the short and fairly simple ingredient list that is low (not free of- but low) in occlusive ingredients in comparison to other sunscreens so I decided to order it. It has not broken me out and it feels nice. No alcohol in it, no irritation, no pimples so far. The tube is user friendly, the texture is light and pleasant and the sunscreen is affordable and accessible. I also appreciate how it’s water resistant so can be worn every day OR pool/beach. I highly recommend this to anyone with acne prone or sensitive skin if you are ok with US chemical sunscreens. I prefer chemical sunscreens over mineral sunscreens as mineral sunscreens break me out. This affordable banana boat in my opinion is WAY better for me personally than high end and expensive options that have tons of pore clogging ingredients. Yes even the popular k-beauty sunscreens break me out unfortunately. Everyone is different and anything has a potential to clog someone but for me this sunscreen is way more safe for my acne prone skin than any other sunscreen option I’ve come across. The majority of sunscreens are just packed with pore cloggers, but this banana boat one is minimal in comparison. The tube is travel size (tsa approved) but bigger than your standard 1.7oz sunscreen. This is nice for me because like I mentioned I wear sunscreen every single day and re-apply if I’ll be outside in the sun. While spending time outside I did not burn while wearing this sunscreen and I’m extremely fair skinned. I also did not notice any new pigmentation issues. The texture is nice, light and pleasant. It wears well under makeup. I normally wash my face in the AM, apply a hydrating kbeauty toner, tiny little dots of super light gel moisturizer (not much- I’m oily!) and then apply this banana boat sunscreen on top. Sometimes I wear makeup sometimes I don’t. It works both ways. I have not experienced any pilling. I have not noticed any scent with this sunscreen other than the sunscreen filters smell which isn’t too bad at all in comparison to other sunscreens I’ve tried. The sunscreen itself adds a touch of moisture but I don’t find it to be greasy on my oily skin. In the summer I will probably use a hydrating toner or serum (skip gel moisturizer) and then apply the banana boat sunscreen since I live in a warm climate. Anyways, this is a very nice textured non offensive not overly clogging (for me at least) Us chemical sunscreen that has been very unproblematic for me. I just apply a decent amount every AM and don’t even think about it. Like I mentioned if I’m out in direct sunlight (normally I’m not in the winter) I’ll reapply as needed. In the PM I use bioderma micellar water and then follow it with my Remedy brand face cleanser and it takes the banana boat off fine. I’m interested in trying the spray version (always spray decent amount into hand and then apply!) for my body in the summer. For now I apply this banana boat sensitive face to my face, neck, hands or whatever exposed area. If you tried the banana boat light as air face spf that one is a little more matte and dry but it’s also more pore clogging in both my experience and by ingredients lists. This banana boat sensitive has a bit of a different texture that’s lightweight and still not greasy but it’s more of a traditional light lotion. The banana boat light as air face one felt great but over time gave me more closed comedones. Needless to say I highly recommend this lightweight Us chemical sunscreen to anyone looking for a simple waterproof Us chemical sunscreen that is affordable and easy. Obviously no white cast as its chemical. Sorry for the long review but it might help someone out. Also I purchased this with my own money I am not a part of one of those product reviewing groups- whatever they are called. No shade to anyone lol.Ver más

Great

The sunscreen itself is really good. It applies smoothly just as advertised “lotion”. I was pleased to see it didn’t leave a white cast. I apply makeup over my sunscreen often. This sunscreen worked perfectly with makeup. Like it said, it’s unscented and that was true as I didn’t detect a scent. My skin feels nice with this on. My only issue is that it didn’t come with a safety seal under the cap. Usually all products come with a seal to ensure it isn’t tampered with and that buyer gets the full amount of product. That was a bit upsetting but hopefully I didn’t actually get a used one.Ver más

It’s great! So light weight!

I have been testing this out for a month now.I love it. This does have avobenzone in it, and because of that, I do NOT put it around my eyes as avobenzone is a chemical sunscreen ingredient that typically tends to cause the of sensation of burning eyes! At least for me it does.I use an Australian sunscreen around my eyes that doesn’t have anything that irritates my eyes. So for the rest of my face, this stuff is great. It literally is so serum like sinks into your skin within five minutes or sooner. Now it’s not the most hydrating thing in the world so if you have a dry skin, you still wanna go in with a moisturizer before however, if you have oily skin, this is your girl right here. Skin like finish, not super matte and not dewy at all. I do not wear primer so I don’t know how it plays with that. Works great under my makeup and has never caused pilling.Quick, easy, simple ingredients, definitely sensitive skin friendly, and no fragrance at an affordable cost-effective price! Now if only banana boat decided to go cruelty free😭9/10 bc not CF 💔Ver más

I LOVE this sunscreen!! Super affordable and lightweight for your skin!

I love this sunscreen!! Love it so much I bought 3 bottles of it!Super lightweight and blends right into the skin, and I don’t feel not sticky!I got super excited and got this primarily because it’s lightweight, super affordable, SPF 50 for high protection, and it said there’s no alcohol or fragrance…heres the catch tho, there IS a slight sunscreen smell, but you only notice it when applying it and if you keeping smelling it on yourself up close during the day.Other than that, it’s truly fragrance free in the sense that you aren’t just standing there doing your thing, and keep getting HIT with the scent of sunscreen for hours, like other sunscreens! The scent is extremely light and pleasant when you go to smell it on yourself.Don’t EVER discontinue this please please please!!!!Ver más
