Has anyone used this as a sunscreen?

No I have not, but I use it as deodorant, lotion, to take off make-up, you can even mix it with baking soda and a few other ingredients to make toothpaste!!!

Yes! It is good,but do not expect a coverage like a foundation,it is like a BB cream with a sunscreen smell and more expensive.

Yes I have. I have a sensitive face when it comes to UV exposure. I always burn in the cheeks first. When I used this Phoenician in the tanning bed, I burnt no more than usual. As for just everyday use, it was a little greasy for my skin.

Not as geasy as some. It doesn't clog my pores, but as a person who likes to use makeup to cover my melasma, I don't prefer using I under my makeup. It is a great physical sunscreen that works great when I'm exercising outdoor. DOesn't sweat off easily. ;)

No. This product would be used as your aftershave. make sure that if you are using this on your face that you are applying sunscreen with at least 30 SPF and do not apply it right before you plan to head out to the beach or plan on being in direct sunlight for awhile; with the glycolic and lactic acid, paired with the alcohol and salicylic acid, it will definitely irritate your skin and give you a pretty bad sunburn. Hope this helps

I have not used it for this specific issue, but I have everybody in my family using it! It made my hands look so much better by fading sun spots.

I have not applied it to my face because my face is ultra sensitive!! I cant even wear sunscreen for faces only because it breaks me out. But,I could see where it would work great because it glides on so evenly and silky. Especially if you applied it with a facial moisturizer. You'd get subtle color immediately and a darker tan in several hours. Don't let the color or consistency freak you out when pumping it out of the bottle!!

I have used this on myself with good results while swimming or sweating. I am moderately fair skinned, and I often get a bit of a tan following prolonged exposure while wearing sunblock, which is normal for me and I don't mind. I think that did happen a little with this, but I didn't find that unique to this product, and it also could be partially due to my own failure to reapply per the directions, as I often go longer than the labels recommend before reapplying. The same company also has a "thinksport" product, which I have not tried, but sounds like it is specifically for sweating. I have used this on myself with good results while swimming or sweating.

Yes. I have. Just don't get it near your eyes. It will burn. But it tans my face nicely

I used it last summer and it did well. Of course one should reapply any sunscreen every 90 minutes, which I did.

I've used it primarily on my daughter and have since she was about 2 - so we reapply pretty often, but she has never gotten a sunburn while being in the water. Our pediatrician recommended it because sge has very sensitive skin and it has been great for that. Many other sunscreens irritated her skin, but this one has been great and provides strong protection.

This sunscreen is rather thick. I would not use it this way. I have oily skin though, so this is just my opinion.

I did not use it for a sun screen. I used it to make fillings for my chipped teeth. I mixed it with clove oil. Just a few drops until it felt like a smooth paste I can use as my fillings.

No, I have not, but it is a wonderful cream. I use it all over my face, not just around the eyes.

I used this for making sunscreen, which I do put on my face and sometimes it gets on my lips and haven't had any issues with it thus far.

It runs in well, though it is a physical sunblock and not nano, so will obviously be a bit more noticeable than chemicals. Have not had any problems with it on clothes. Have not tried the other product, sorry. All in all, we love this -- in fact, my wife and I now use it too usually, as well as our daughter. (The only difference between this and their "adult" product is what it's designed to smell like, I've been told.)

I love this sunscreen as it was the only one I have ever wanted to apply to my face. It feels so great! Honestly, I have never used any other product on my face. I use it on my arms as well and they never burn.
