Industrial Strength Sunblock

13 years ago

One of the best sunblocks available. I've taken this on 4 day trips through The Lost Coast (no shade) and through Arizona canyons (barely any shade) and made it out with zero burns. After days on the trail I come home with a light golden tan while less fortunate companions get turned into tomatoes. I've taken it out to the river where I've spent long days getting in and out of the water. This stuff never seems to lose it's strength throughout the day. The only downside is that it is quite thick and greasy. When wearing it backpacking I find that dirt tends to stick to me very easily as a result. But I would rather deal with that than a sunburn any day.

works perfectly

15 years ago

I've used Aloe Gator 40+ for many years. The secret is to apply it everywhere that the sun will get to with a thin rubbed on layer. It takes a little patience to thin it out on your body but it works even on your scalp, even if you have just thinning hair. If it is sticky and will rub off, you have put on too much. Daily use on face, head, neck and hands will allow a 4 oz tube to last for months. Full body coverage for swimsuit and beach use will last for at least two weeks. If don't want to get sunburned this is the answer.

Simply the best sunscreen ever!

14 years ago

We are a family with very fair skin. This sunscreen is amazing! I cannot imagine another beach trip, boat outing, a summer camp without Aloe Gator. It is an oil based sunscreen but it dries very quickly, adding moisture to dry skin. I put this on my daughter at 7 AM, send her to a camp in which she is constantly in the sun and water - until 6 PM. With no reapplication, she comes home completely sunburn free. I tell everyone about Aloe Gator. It is guaranteed for eight hours, but it lasts longer. While it may be a tad pricier than what you get in the grocery store, with only one or two applications each day versus four to six with other brands,it is a cost saver! I highly recommend this product.

Protects from sun and dryness

11 years ago

I have been using Aloe Gator for many years. it not only protects from sunburn but moisturizes the skin and treats some minor skin problems. (Aloe juice has many topical health benefits including promoting healing from burns.) I prefer the jell product because it slightly less messy than the cream.

Good Water Resistant Sunscreen

11 years ago

This is the best water resistant sunscreen I've found. All the others I've tried are only good for an hour or so in the water. Aloe Gator lasts much longer. I started using it in the 80's on surf trips to Hawaii. That was when I discovered that it also softens rough skin. I was living in Fairbanks, Alaska at that time. During the winter my hands would get dry and cracked from the extreme cold. However on each trip to Hawaii they would heal quickly. Eventually I realized that it was the sunscreen.

It works but..... its THICK, GREASY, STICKY

9 years ago

I guess the things I don't enjoy about it are what make it so good. I have used it under some heavy sweating and it holds up for sure. I have not found the happy medium between having enough for coverage and being greased like a bowling lane. I wish I could give it more stars because it performs its function well. I just need to get over the form VS function of it. Its not my sole sunscreen but if I am going to be sweating or in and out of water it is the lotion I choose.

Full On Sun Protection

17 years ago

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.

Finally!

9 years ago

I am a cyclist and was starting to believe that I would never find a sunblock that didn't run as soon as I started sweating. My wife asked for a recommendation at REI and came home with this stuff - and it WORKS. I used to during a one-week, 425-mile ride across Iowa, and it not only did a great job of blocking the sun, but it didn't run at all. No stinging eyes, no slimy skin, and no sunburn. I finally found a sunblock for cyclists!

Aloe Gator Waterproof

17 years ago

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.
