Sensitive, fair skin and LOVE this stuff
As someone with super fair and sensitive skin and that cares about what I'm leaving traces of in the environments around me, I can't recommend this enough. I'm outside hiking/biking/skiing several days a week and this has kept me from getting burnt with no skin irritation or acne breakouts. This, unlike SO many other chemical or zinc face sunscreens I have tried, also does not make my eyes burn over the course of a day. I've been using this brand exclusively for a year now (I wear sunscreen more than 3 days a week) and am constantly pushing people to try it because I like it that much. Definitely reapplied, but this was also sufficient for a trip to New Zealand with lots of outdoor time.

Like using toothpaste on your face
This stuff is so thick and heavy, if felt like trying to rub toothpaste onto my face. It left a gross white residue on my face and it rubbed off on my jacket on top of that. I had to rub like crazy just to get it to remotely dissolve into my skin. If you have facial hair, it’s going to look like you put toothpaste on your face. I won’t be buying any “Thinksport” products ever again, this stuff is terrible.

Excellent sunscreen!!

My awesome dermatologist recommended this product because the ingredients are TRULY "Organic" vs other products that are inserting chemical ingredients into their so called "Organic " sunscreens. With a recent MOH's procedure and usual diligence to have sunscreen on before leaving the house, I am always on the lookout for the best non " Full Spectrum" formulations. Love the consistency and viscosity of ThinkSport! A small amount goes a long way, especially on the face, and has not rested visibly in the pores, a win win!! Also held up well x 2 hours of intense Pickleball and cycling before needing to re-apply on larger skin areas. Highly recommend ThinkSport!!

Favorite Sunscreen

This is my new favorite sunscreen and best friend for all my outdoor adventures as my face is quick to burn when I'm in the sun. This sunscreen is so effective and I have absolutely no complaints. I went paddling with my boyfriend (who did not use this) he got burnt to a crisp and I was completely fine. It showed me how great this product is. I also have sensitive eyes and sometimes sunscreen on my face bothers them but this doesn't irritate my eyes either!

Only Sunscreen on my Face!

I spend three months in the summer camping. I am outside for the entire day, and I'm fair skinned. I put this on in the morning, sweat and swim, and it stays put. I used to only use Neutrogena on my face because of the brand, but when I stumbled across this sunscreen at an REI store 3 years ago and tried it, I now only buy this product.

Seems Ok

This wasn't bad. Clear zinc oxide? Yeah, sure, compared to white paste it was clear but still pretty white. It blended in better after a while. It wasn't irritating to my skin. It's pretty thick so felt a little greasy but was tolerable. I didn't get burnt so it probably worked. I'll use the rest it on non-face areas so my friends don't laugh at me. lol.

Excellent product

Sunblock goes on smoothly and effectively protects from the sun’s harmful radiation. I am an avid long distance cyclist and have used this product consistently with good results.

Comfortable on skin & Zinc Oxide

I appreciate zinc oxide sunscreens and thinksport feels the most ok on my skin, which means I keep using it for sun protection.
