Does this sunscreen only offer 40 minute protection? I see a lot of other sunscreens offer protection for 80 minutes.

It offers a 4 hour protection, but I would recommend to use a waterproof sunscreen if you plan to go to the beach.

I just looked on the tube and didn't see one and I did not recall seeing one on the box when I purchased it. However, their sunscreen does have an expiration date on the box. Hope this helps.

I'm reading the directions from the back of one of my bottles right now. It says to reapply after 10 hours for protection from deer ticks, 8 hours for mosquitoes, 6 hours for gnats, no-see-ums, sandflies, and biting midges. For sunscreen protections it says to reapply after sweating, towel drying, or swimming. According to the label it retains its SPF after 80 minutes of being in the water or sweating. It says to reapply as needed but no more than 3 times in one day.

Just used this last weekend. I did have to rub rub rub it in. BUT I didn't get burnt and it didn't sting my eyes like other face sunscreen.

I use Elta sunscreen. I believe it is SPF 47 but would need to double check. I only use this brand on myself and kids. It's the best, in my opinion. I hope this helps.

I checked my listing and it reads "sunscreen". There are several other merchants offering the same product - maybe you are reading their description? Sorry I don't have an answer. It might be an amazon issue.

I would recommend using SPF 30 or higher. I feel compelled to tell you there is still a great chance you will still get darker. I used SPF 70, waited 15-20 minutes after rubbing in my skin. I wasn't in direct sunlight over 30 minutes, yet my arms are 4 shades darker!!!! Just make your sunscreen offers UVA & UVB. UVA helps prevent darkening of the skin.

Hi Glen, our natural sunscreens are the equivalent to SPF 30. We advise you to apply liberally 20 to 30 minutes before going out in the sun, then re-apply every 2 hours, or more often after swimming, excessive sweating, or toweling.

Once a day was enough for me - 15-20 min before going to the beach (Mexico). I was at the beach from 8 am-12 pm. Yes, it is water resistant - I like to have long swims. The lotion is thick but I didn't have problems to apply it. You will be kind of whitish for the first 5-10 min then it will go away. I would re-apply lotion after swimming only to the neck and face. I like how the bottle turns blue under sun almost immediately as a reminder that you need to have a sunblock :) I have very sensitive skin and didn't have any problems with Blue Lizard

This product helped me with brown spots, but it works better after you have washed your face and waited around 30 minutes to apply the cream. I cannot say anything regarding sun exposure. I would say ask your own doctor about, to make sure you get the proper care according to your own skin condition. Good luck.

I use the 40 daily for years with no issues. You do need to let it absorb. A good alternative if you don't mind a light tint is Skinceuticals 50 SPF but that is more expensive.

No, it does not. I am quoting from the back of the bottle: "WARNINGS - This product does not contain a sunscreen and does not protect against sunburn." The other two respondents may not have exactly the same product. I believe you can buy this moisturizer with an added sunscreen, but this exact one does not have it.

This one has the expiration date at the bottom (two years). I try to use sunscreens with natural ingredients within one year. I found that using this one every day (as you should, regardless of the weather), lasts me about 3-4 months.

The label reads "Broad Spectrum" sunscreen, which I believe covers both UVA & UVB rays. I used this on my 2 children for a week at the beach this summer & neither got burnt, and my 1-year old got no sun tan at all while using it, so I am sure it covers both types of rays. I found this sunscreen on the Environmental Work Group's "A" list of sunscreens for 2012. It worked very well for us. Hope this helps!

I love this sunscreen. I don't think it leaves my skin any shinier than any other sunscreen I have tried. I apply it very lightly. For darker complexions, it could possibly leave a lighter cast. What I like the most about it is that it doesn't cause breakouts.

It stays on for me with primer about 6 hours an usually I'm on a motorcycle. You get light coverage unless you pack it on but it can get oily @pascal

Yes. I reapply every 4 hours when I am not swimming and every 2 hours when I am swimming. I live in Florida near the beach and this sunscreen has never let me or my family down. Hands down one of the greatest products ever!
