Comments about Aloe Gator Super Waterproof Total Sunblock Gel - SPF 40+ - 4 oz.:
I started using Aloe Gator gel over 12 years ago, as an ocean lifeguard. I wanted something that I could apply once in the morning and know that I would be covered the rest of the day, no matter how many times I was in and out of the water.
It stays where you put it (which keeps it out of your eyes). I surf, swim, dive and paddle....and can be outside all day. With one application I know I am good all day.....even under the Hawaiian sun.

Comments about Aloe Gator Super Waterproof Total Sunblock Gel - SPF 40+ - 4 oz.:
My friends and I went to Rocky Point in Mexico for 4-5 days. We were out in the sun on the beach (in and out of the water) all day. The first day one of my friends only applied the gel on his shoulder. That night we could clearly see where he had stopped applying because he was burnt everywhere else.
The gel is a bit greasy. It might makes you feel uncomfortable if you are in humid weather and is not anywhere near water.

Comments about Aloe Gator Super Waterproof Total Sunblock Gel - SPF 40+ - 4 oz.:
This is a very greasy product and the BEST and ONLY sunscreen that can withstand hours in the water, surfing, kitesurfing, windsurfing. Everything else washes away: bless Aloe Gator for making that stuff, and REI for carrying it.
A must for kite instructors!

Comments about Aloe Gator Super Waterproof Total Sunblock Gel - SPF 40+ - 4 oz.:
This is the ONLY sunblock that works for my son who has extremely white skin. He ends up burned with every other product we've tried, regardless of the SPF #.The rest of us in the family use it on our faces because it does not sting our eyes. [...]

Comments about Aloe Gator Super Waterproof Total Sunblock Gel - SPF 40+ - 4 oz.:
I have used Aloe Gator for more than 20 years. This is the best, PABA free, product I have used. Put in on before a surfing session and it will last all day. I started using it in Florida and it works even on the North Shore of Hawai'i as you duck under the big sets.

Comments about Aloe Gator Super Waterproof Total Sunblock Gel - SPF 40+ - 4 oz.:
This sunblock may be a little much to spread over large areas before a casual day of beach tanning, BUT it works fantastic if you really need protection on specific areas (under your nose, on the tops of your ears, back of neck and your face in general). It's waterproof, stays on all day and works great for climbing and mountaineering, plus it's tiny tube fits nicely in easy-reachable spots on your pack or person!

Comments about Aloe Gator Super Waterproof Total Sunblock Gel - SPF 40+ - 4 oz.:
Yes it's gel...Very goopy gel that starts off like gel toothpaste but STAYS sticky ALL DAY! You'll get dirt in it, you'll get it all over yourself, and if you ride a bike - BEWARE! You'll arrive at lunch covered in bugs - I'M NOT KIDDING! Stick with the Aloe Gator or REI white stuff that disappears in a minute or so.

Comments about Aloe Gator Super Waterproof Total Sunblock Gel - SPF 40+ - 4 oz.:
I bought this expecting a quick dry gel sunscreen like Bullfrog used to make. This sunscreen is a gel, but that's the only similarity - this stuff is thick, sticky and greasy on your skin. And it doesn't rub in either. It looks and feels like a layer of Vaseline on my skin. Not recommended.

Comments about Aloe Gator Super Waterproof Total Sunblock Gel - SPF 40+ - 4 oz.:
This stuff works great and lasts all day...never came close to burning at the beach and I was in and out of the ocean on a hot, sunny day. Kept me protected at an early season football game in the hot sun too. Despite lots of sweat and ocean water it stayed put.
