This sunscreen is great, because it goes on clear, and it's really light, it almost feels like there's nothing there!Unfortunately, my dermatologist has said that SPF 30 is not strong enough for my skin, so I switched to an SPF 65 sunscreen, but while I used this, I had no problems.

My 5 year old son is allergic to something in sunscreen (haven't figured out what yet). The dermatologist recommended this product for us to try. My son still broke out from it, but what was most discouraging was that it didn't seem to protect him from burning. We were in Mexico and even though I reapplied the vanicream during the day, he still was burning. I finally had to switch to another lotion for the morning when the sun was strongest. I would use the vanicream for later in the afternoon when the sun was weaker. The nice thing about this product was that unlike most oxide formulas, my child did not have a white "glow" (vanicream was clear) and the vanicream was easier to wash off in the bath. The other oxide products were like slathering your child in desitin (it doesn't come off!) Just beware that you will have to reapply this product quite often and even then it may not protect you from extreme sun.
