Redhead Approved!
I love the ease of this product and as a redhead who burns very easily, I like the product. It does not have any real smell, I just swipe it over my face and then rub it in. Easy peasy!

Affordable with minimal white tint!
I wanted a sunscreen stick for so long. I am allergic to most of the products but this one is great! I did not get any reaction and it is affordable. The size is pretty decent for the price! I was afraid it would leave a white tint, but I can't tell for my skin tone. Would definitely buy it again!

Don't miss a spot!
I'm writing this review with the remains of an itchy, peeling sunburn on the back of my upper arm, so...there's that. However, I'm pretty sure it was more my fault than the sunscreen's. If you've never used stick sunscreen before, here is the vital fact you need to know: unlike liquid or spray sunscreens, stick sunscreens don't spread out when you rub them into your skin. The sunscreen stays exactly, precisely in the exact, precise spot you applied it. Stick sunscreen is faster to apply than liquid and less messy than either liquids or sprays, but you must be vigilant about applying it in smooth, overlapping strokes. If you miss a spot, you're toast--or at least you'll end up with a well-toasted spot on your skin.But if you don't miss a spot, this sunscreen works. I was out in the sun for several hours a day for several days in a row on vacation, waaaaayyy more sun than I usually get, as I'm the droniest of office drones. And I'm fair-skinned and burn pretty easily. But with this sunscreen, I didn't get any burns except in the spot I apparently missed. (For the record, though, I used liquid sunscreen on my face and ears, as it's easier to get liquid sunscreen into little crevices such as behind your ears.)In response to a common complaint about this sunscreen, yes, it will leave a white cast on your skin. That's because it's mineral sunscreen. To oversimplify the difference between chemical and mineral sunscreens, chemical sunscreens protect your skin from UV rays by absorbing the rays and converting them to heat, while mineral sunscreens physically block UV rays from your skin. The active ingredient in mineral sunscreens is a bright-white mineral compound, either zinc oxide or titanium dioxide. The particles of these bright-white compounds act like tiny mirrors to reflect the sun away from your skin. In short, mineral sunscreens pretty much have to be bright-white in order to do their job, because no other color reflects sunlight as efficiently.Obviously, you'll have to decide for yourself how much the white cast of mineral sunscreens bothers you. If you decide you can't stand it, use chemical sunscreen instead. (If you're wondering how to tell whether the sunscreen you're buying is chemical or mineral, look for the word "mineral" in the product name or description. If you don't see the word "mineral," it's probably chemical.) Personally, I decided not to worry about the white cast. I figure that if people see me at the beach with a ghostly white tinge to my skin, most of them will be smart enough to realize that I look that way because I just applied sunscreen and not because I'm actually a ghost. And given a choice between being mistaken for a ghost or getting sunburned, I'll go with being mistaken for a ghost.

The BEST sunscreen I have used
This is now my go to sunscreen - love it for many reasons!I am very sensitive to UV, so this sunscreen works well under makeup.I love the fact that this sunscreen is a stick as I dislike having to apply sunscreen with fingers and then have to wash my hands and it applies quickly and easily.I also love the fact that this sunscreen doesn't leave a white layer, it does not turn my moisturizer into cottage cheese(!) and has a matt rather than shiny appearance - all great plusses in my book.Would definitely recommend and will be buying more!Thank you Aveeno for great products!

Difficult to apply
It's difficult to apply because you have to press hard. It also makes me feel like my skin is wet forcacwhile after I apply it even though its dry to the touch.

Great sunscreen for the backs of your hands
I use this on the backs of my hands for sunscreen protection when I drive. Lotion formulas are always greasy or messy when you apply them to your hands -- so this is pretty handy, clean, easy and convenient for purse and travel or to keep in the car.

Great sun block for the face
I've tried Many face creams with some feeble SPF. This is superior. It's Zinc Oxide, which is better than the various chemicals in more expensive face creams, serums or face primers. Blocks UVA and UVB rays.It's not greasy, creamy, sticky, drying, irritating or smelly. 50 SPF. Easy to put on. No fragrance. Alone or under makeup. It even works as a pore diminisher!Yes, there's a slight white cast. Because it's Zinc Oxide. Cover with makeup or a tinted moisturizer if it bothers you. I prefer a slight cast to sun damage/skin cancer.
