My mom had a melanoma removed 10 years ago (luckily it was caught early and she is completely fine and healthy now), so I became aware of the importance of sunscreen early on in life, and I would always apply a strong sunscreen (SPF 60 or higher) before any extended periods in the sun (like before outdoor runs or swims, etc). However, when I started walking to work a couple years ago, I realized that I need to find a daily use sunscreen to protect against the increased daily sun exposure I now experience. This Coppertone Oil Free Face Lotion was one of the first ones that I tried, and overall I would say it is an effective option. The consistency of the sunscreen is a little runny, but I found that it blended into my skin well and after 5-10 minutes it had all absorbed. I have somewhat sensitive skin and never had any issue with breakouts or irritation after wearing this lotion. The SPF 30 was effective in protecting my skin from burning during my daily sun exposure time (about 1 hour). The one thing that I didn't like about this sunscreen was the inclusion of a couple ingredients (including PROPYLPARABEN and OXYBENZONE) which I have since learned may be cause for concern. I have since found a more natural product and use that instead for daily protection.

I bought this sunscreen with a few others from eBay last year, and found that it worked pretty well. I really like the fact that it's hypoallergenic and oil free. It's great for people that have acne prone skin, it doesn't cause acne or make acne it worse. It's also relatively inexpensive when you buy it at Walmart. Scent This has a really nice scent. Absorption It absorbs easily into your skin, it doesn't leave your skin oily like a lot of other sunscreens and lotions. Longevity This should be applied about every two to three hours. I usually apply and reapply sunscreen every two to three hours anyhow to ensure you are covered well. Effectiveness This sunscreen is great at protecting your skin from the sun. I have acne prone back, and it gets broken out at times because of suntan lotion and sunscreen. This didn't make me break out with acne, and it seemed to be a great moisturizer as well. Ease of Application This is pretty easy to apply for a sunscreen that isn't oil based.

Personally, I need to use a face-specific sunscreen lotion when hanging out in the sun. I do not like the effects of putting "body" sunscreen lotion on my face. This Coppertone is oil-free and it makes a huge difference in how my skin reacts to the application. I am not prone to break-outs but couple a greasy sunscreen with warm weather and a face-only product has a remarkably different effect. This lotion goes on easily and lasts pretty well even in warm or humid weather. I like that it feels light and is not noticeable after application. It does not have an overwhelming scent either; I am somewhat sensitive to fragrances, so I appreciate that. My husband even started snagging it when we go hang out by the pool. He agrees that it is much better to use this than even our standard "Sport" sunscreen. We have never had a problem with burning with this lotion but do reapply when outside for long durations.

I have had nothing but good luck with this "Coppertone oil free sunblock lotion for faces" It is a wonderful moisturizer without all the extra oils added to it. Some parts of my face already produce way too much oil so I was looking for something to eliminate that. This lotion does exactly that, while protecting me from getting sun burnt. I love that it doesn't hardly have a scent to it so sometimes I will actually wear it under my makeup, even if I'm not going into the sun. Scent There really isn't much of a scent, which is great because I usually break out from scented lotions. Absorption I only use about pea sized dabs of it on each cheek, my chin, neck and forehead. It absorbs right into my skin with no left over lotion lingering around. No grease and no shine! Longevity I put it on in the morning, 8 hours later my face still feels super soft and moisturized. I'd say this product lasts for a while. Ease of Application Very easy, put your desired amount into your hands or directly on your face and rub it in.

This is a great sunblock lotion for the face by Coppertone. I thought it would work well and it has. I wanted to try it because it is "oil-free". It worked wonders on my face, and it didn't break me out. I break out a little bit on really hot days. There have been oil sunscreens that make me break out. This stuff is perfect for my face. I was looking forward to trying this Coppertone because it has anti-oxidants and Vitamin E in it. These ingredients are wonderful for the skin and for my face. It goes on soft and smooth and feels good. It is the perfect texture too. It doesn't clog my pores either. I think this stuff would work wonders for ance-prone and sensitive skin too. Frankly, I think it would work on all skin types. It is fragrance-free, so men would probably like this sunblock a lot. It won't make you smell like you just came from the beach either. I wish it had a little bit of a fragrance to it. I like sweet smelling scents. This stuff lasts for hours and hours. It is very effective, and easy to apply. I like the size of the container because it fits into several different beach bags of mine. I can take it anywhere, and I like the price of it as well. You can use this sunblock lotion daily if you want, especially on hot or sunny days. This is a winner by Coppertone.

I really like this "oil free" option for sunscreen from Coppertone. I have skin that is prone to breakouts, and if I'm using sunscreen, I'm obviously going to be in direct sunlight, sweating and clogging my pores already. I like knowing that the sunscreen I slather on isn't going to make me break out. It especially gives me peace of mind when using it on more delicate areas like my face and neck. I am always hesitant to use regular sunscreen on my face as I have issues with breakouts, and yet your face is one of the most important areas to protect. I like that this product is not greasy at all and rubs in well-so you don't get that unattractive "white nose" look! I also like the design of the bottle in that the product is always at the bottom where it comes out, so you can be sure you are using up all of it and you don't have to shake it a bunch of times! It seems to last a long time, even after being in the water for a short period.

I don't typically use sunscreen lotion that is not at least forty-five SPF, but this is one of the best ones that is thirty SPF. One of the things that I look for in lotion is the effects that it could have on my skin. I hate risking breaking out, but this one is really good and I have not had any problems. The ease of applying this lotion is really good; because of the lack of oil, I have found that it is a lot easier to apply and that it doesn't leave my hands feeling nasty. I don't like looking really shiny after I put sunscreen lotion on, so that's another positive that I like about this. If you are looking for a lotion with not much scent to it, this one is a great choice. The one thing I might would change to this is make it a higher SPF to provide some more protection, but overall it is a really great lotion. I think Coppertone Oil Free Suncreen Lotion is really great. I have recommended it to many people.

I love this sunscreen! I have extremely oily skin and it always is worse in the summer months. I love going to the pool but the sunscreen and oil completely clogs my pores. It causes breakouts on my face, chest, shoulders, and back throughout the entire summer. I saw this sunscreen and knew I had to try it due to it being oil free. It worked great for me. I was able to use it on my face and shoulders without having any breakouts. It works great at protecting your skin from the sun but not clogging your pores. I will be using this every summer. I highly recommend this to anyone with oily skin. Scent The scent is fine. It smells like any other sunscreen. It reminds me of summer so I love the scent. Absorption It absorbs quickly. Being oil free, it does not leave you feeling greasy. I usually give it 10 to 15 minutes to dry before sun exposure. Longevity I am fair skinned so I reapply frequently. It will last you about an hour or two. Effectiveness It is highly effective. It keeps your skin safe from burning and also does not clog your pores. It is one of my all time favorite sun screens. Ease of Application It is not hard to apply at all.

I have tried many MANY different sun screens throughout my life and I have always ended up being allergic to them. I could never go out into the sun and really enjoy it because I could never find a sunscreen that worked. I burn so easily so I absolutely had to have sunscreen. If it weren't for Coppertone Oil Free I would probably never leave my house. It didn't leave my skin oily feeling and doesn't clog pores. Two important things to take into account when using sunscreen. I can now spend a day in the pool with the sun beaming down on me and not have to worry. Depending on how long I stay outside I may need to apply it twice but that isn't a problem at all. Afterwards I don't get the itchy red bumps and rash all over my body like I did with every other sunscreen I ever tried. This is definitely a must for me and anyone else with sensitive skin. I wish they had this years ago when I was a child and was outside more.

I live in a state where the sun is intense. In my youth, I never wore any kind of Sunscreen. That mistake forced me to pay a penance in the form of painful burns. The mess associated with oily sunscreens was enough to turn me away. Coppertone Oil Free Sunscreen eliminates my chief complaint. There are a few factors I use to determine sunscreen quality: 1: Duration 2: Water Resistance 3: Ease of use; including less mess 4: Protection Coppertone's oil free formula meets all the criteria, save one (I will discuss that later). When it's time to hop in the pool, I apply a generous quantity of Coppertone on my skin. The sunscreen absorbs well, and leaves no mess behind. Water does not wash it off on contact, and I simply reapply as necessary. This formula is simple; but effective, and achieved very easily with Coppertone Oil Free. Protection is not a large factor in my opinion; simply because SPF30 has always proven sufficient, even in the intense sun of New Mexico. The product's weakness is duration. During a very intense summer of swimming, I decided to determine how long Coppertone would last. If I waited 45 minutes in between applications, I received minor burns. When I waited more than an hour, I noted almost no effect in protection; as if I wore no sunscreen at all. Applying sunscreen every 45 minutes is an inconvenience, but not serious enough to discourage a positive review of this product. This product is also easy on sensitive skin. This; of course, is the primary reason for being oil free. However, the added bonus is it doesn't run as much as regular sunscreen. If you use Coppertone Oil Free Formula, you can't loose. Scent This stuff smells kind of funky, but it isn't nauseating. Absorption Coppertone absorbs into the skin quickly. Longevity This is where Coppertone falls short. If you wait more than 45 minutes between applications, prepare to face the wrath of Mother Nature. Effectiveness Very effective for 45 minutes, weak after that. Ease of Application The bottle could have a more user friendly means of application; but once the sunscreen reaches your skin, it's easy to rub in.
