(More customer reviews)We bought this product for our vacation as we would be going to a water park one day and spending a lot of time outside during that week. I have three children ages 10, 7 and 1. I have used "kids" sunscreen on myself in the past and never had a problem with it so we just decided we'd all use it instead of buying separate sunscreens. We followed the directions on the bottle to the letter, put it on a half hour before getting to the water park and we reapplied it twice more during the about 5 hours we were there, being careful to give at least 20 minutes before getting back in the water. The can says it is waterproof, no rub, provides broad spectrum UVA/UVB protection and sprays evenly. None of those things turned out to be true.
At the end of the day, it was a total disaster! All five of us were burned to varying degrees of severity. My husband who almost never burns was lobster red in various places. I was burnt almost everywhere the swimsuit didn't cover. My 7 year old and 1 year old sons were burned here and there...kind of like in patches. It was as if the spray didn't spray evenly and cover the entire body though I made sure I saw spray go on every part as I sprayed. The top of my feet were so burned that they almost looked purple and blistered and I am still having pain when walking almost a week later.
Another major problem with this product is that you can see some of the spray dispersing in the air as you spray it so you end up wasting a lot of it while applying it and of course you don't want to apply it inside. It took nearly a whole can of this stuff to cover all of us including reapplications for a 5 hour stay at the water park and then didn't even work. We wouldn't have been much worse off had we not put sunscreen on at all! We have always used lotion sunscreen in the past, including Coppertone brand, and never had a single problem with sunburn, it just takes a bit longer to apply of course, and that one bottle of lotion sunscreen will pretty much last our whole family an entire summer, usually two, even with all our trips to the pool and other outdoor activities...this bottle lasted for one afternoon and cost more than a bottle of lotion that lasts the entire season. The idea of an easy and quick method of applying sunscreen, especially on children and especially toddlers is enticing but trust me, it's not worth it. Stick with lotion!
