New Favorite!
I have always looked for a sunscreen that was moisturizing but also didn’t pill, especially around the outline of my eyebrows and face. I’ve tried a couple here and there, even really expensive ones like La Roche-Posay. Any of their sunscreens just were NOT doing it for me. I also don’t think a sunscreen should be $31 anyways.I’ve tried CeraVe’s ultra light sunscreen SPF 30 and I liked that for a bit but I feel like it still pilled around the outer parts of my face. Then for the longest time, I was using Black Girl Sunscreen Kids Sunscreen SPF 50 for body and face and I really liked that. Cheap, effective, didn’t leave a white cast, and is worth looking into. Something I would continue repurchasing if I see it. I tried the Eucerin Age Defense + Hyaluronic Acid 50 SPF and while I did love how that dried down, it was more of a satin-y finish, I don’t know how well my skin responded to it. It could have been a mixture of other skincare products I was using before and have stopped, so I really only use that on my hands.I follow Dr. Dray and Abbey Yung (love them) on YouTube and both have tested the Bondi Sands Sunscreen out and had very good feedback for it. I decided to buy it off Amazon because I couldn’t find it anywhere local (I don’t think it’s sold locally in the US because it’s an Australian brand) but I figured why not. I got their fragrance free face and body sunscreen too and it is VERY moisturizing! Felt like I was putting on a body lotion. I personally love that feeling. I think once the face sunscreen dries down a bit, it gives a beautifully glowy finish. I know not everyone loves that kind of look, but I have dry and sensitive skin and have dealt with pilling with a lot of sunscreens and I’ve had NO issues with this sunscreen.When I got it, it must have been on sale because the face sunscreen was $6.99 and that’s why I bought it, but I definitely would continue to buy it at $12.99. I’ve used Bondi Sands tanning products before so I figured their skincare/sunscreen should be good too. I was not wrong! I’ve had NO irritation, sensitivity, burning issues, no white cast at all using their sunscreens. 10/10 recommend.I do plan on wearing makeup for the first time after using this sunscreen so we will see how it holds up but I have a feeling it will be great. Definitely worth a try :)

Wearing this daily as a 40yr old. Great protection from the sun.
Just purchased my second bottle of this sunscreen. Just turning 40, I recently got on the ball about taking care of my skin = applying sunscreen daily. I previously purchased this as a sunscreen for pool days and days out with the kiddos. Now, I use it daily as the last step of my morning skincare routine. As a 40 yr old with sensitive, combination skin, this product does not irritate or cause dryness.Pros:• No white cast• No scent/very faint scent (sometimes I think I smell it, sometimes I don’t)• Very hydrating.. so much so, that I often skip moisturizer before applying primer & makeup. I appreciate the added hydration for my dryer areas (like under the eyes)• Blends in beautifully with my tinted moisturizer/foundation• High SPF. Great sun protectionCons:• Looks/feels greasy (in my opinion) if worn aloneI used to hate wearing sunscreen daily, but this one works great with my skin type and blends my makeup well. Now I never skip this step while getting ready for the day.

Great, but stings eyes
This sunscreen is okay. It does leave a dewy finish and is moisturizing. It did not irritate my skin and the texture isn't too thick. My only complaint is that it did sting my eyes. After a few mins of wearing it, I could feel the burn and when I showered, the water barely hit my face and I could feel the sunscreen burning my eyes. So, if you don't have as sensitive eyes as me I think you will love this sunscreen. I loved it but cannot handle the eye stinging.

10/10 super impressed!
Updated review after a month: After almost a month of wearing, I did start to experience slight sensitivity/burning and some superficial acne. Nothing else changed in my routine but incorporating this. This is still a great product in my opinion and it may not irritate you personally, so try it! Oh and buy hthe regular sized one, the face one is just them marketing to specific parts of the body. The ingredients for both are the same. I will still use this on my neck and body and stick with my physical sunscreen from DRMTLGY for my face.Original Review: Trust me when I say that I have tried every single sunscreen under the sun. I have really sensitive skin, I use tretinoin, and I go out in the sun daily. I had been using the DRMTLGY physical sunscreen, because it was the only one that didn't make me break out or burn my skin. There are a lot of chemical sunscreens that wore really beautifully on my skin, but I could not tolerate the chemical aspect. This product by Bondi Sands is PERFECTION for sensitive acne prone skin. It goes on sort of like a moisturizer so it can feel a little bit greasy, but it dries down within five minutes and leaves you with a really natural glow. And you cannot beat the price! The stuff I was using before was twice this much and felt like clay on my skin. This is lightweight and wears beautifully with zero white cast. Nice job, Bondi Sands!

My new favorite face sunscreen
I have tried many, this is the best so far. It goes on like a light cream, without the white mask, has no fragrance, is not sticky, and doesn't make my eyes water. It feels more like a moisturizer, and works under my makeup. I finally found the right one.
