Product reviews of Banana Boat Sport Sunblock Lotion, SPF 50, 8-Ounce Tubes (Pack of 2)
Review: Not as advertised
Beauty product: 1 Stars
Being an avid outdoorsman, I've been through quite a few different sunblocks in pursuit of the ultimate sport lotion. Banana Boat was a huge letdown.
1. It is not "sweatproof." I know, I know - 80 mins. sweat/water is all they are claiming, but I'm telling you it's much less than this. That 80 min. claim might hold true if you are sweating and NOTHING is coming in contact with your skin. More likely scenario, you sweat and clothing or something else rubs your skin - bam, sunblock is gone. This turns into a thick, gooey type substance when sweat is added and you can see the mixture building up on your skin.
2. Dri/No slip formula. BS. This is the greasiest of al of the "sport" lotions I've tried. Not good for sports where any sort of grip is needed.
3. As some others have noted - stings/burns your face. This is minimized by waiting until well after a shower to apply, but it still burns. This is definitely NOT good for faces. When it runs into your eyes (and it does) it will burn like the dickens. You've been warned.
Go for Hawaiian Tropic Sport and thank me later. Super grippy and doesn't run. Spreads on smooth and thick.
Review: STINGS YOUR FACE!!!
Beauty product: 1 Stars
It's 4th of July weekend and I am livid about this product. Both of my kids applied it to their face (7 & 9 year old boys) and within minutes they were both in tears from the burning and stinging they felt from it. They DO NOT have existing sunburns and sun care is very important to us. We are outdoors and at the lake regularly and use lots of suncare products and this one will never be used again. I had to take both into a shower to help and it still hurt after using a gentle soap to try to get it off. It sucks and I'll never ever buy this product again and either should you. Review: Simple and effective

The key to effectively using this product is application BEFORE leaving the air conditioned confines of your house or hotel room. Apply it liberally and wait ~30 minutes before going outside.
I see people make three mistakes with sunscreen:
1. "But I want to get some tan" - these people sit in sun from noon to 2PM then apply sunscreen. Too late they're already burned. Nothing short of aluminum foil stops all tanning.
2. Failure to follow directions and reapply. Especially important around neck and nose where collars and fingers rub.
3. Failure to apply to tops of feet- ouch that's painful..
This product doesn't cause my skin to break out and has provided many years of satisfactory service while wade fishing, kayaking, and playing water volleyball. Other products (Coppertone Sport) clog pores and burn eyes. Bannana Boat Sport line isn't greasy and won't burn your eyes.
Review: This is good sunblock for athletics activity
Beauty product: 5 Stars
I have no complaints about this stuff. It is reasonably priced and does a good job protecting my skin for my 30-45 minute afternoon runs.
A single application has protected me just fine for longer three to four hour afternoon kickball games. Users should remember, however, not to apply this sparingly. A full fluid ounce, that is an eighth of a tube, is need to cover an adult's exposed body parts for sunbathing.
Since I am normally in shorts and t-shirt while running, I get away with a half-ounce, but still, you gotta put this stuff on thick.
NB, I wouldn't recommend this product for daily facial use. For that you should get something lighter and oil-free.
