Review on πŸ‘Ά Aveeno Baby Continuous Protection Zinc Oxide Mineral Sunscreen Lotion SPF 50 - Gentle and Resilient, Paraben- & Tear-Free, Water-Resistant, Travel-Size - 2 x 3 fl. oz. by Lisa Cummings

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Probably good for babies but not for me

This sunscreen is very thick, spreadable and leaves a noticeable white cast (and I'm very pale; I usually use the lightest or second lightest color in most foundations and concealers). I bought this product because it's made for babies (and Aveeno says it's as gentle as water on skin) and thought it might work for me as I have very sensitive skin and am prone to contact dermatitis. Well, unfortunately it caused me a slight itching in places (but not dermatitis). It also has a faint aroma (not listed as I'm sure it's just a natural aroma, possibly from the juice of the chrysanthemum leaves/flowers/stalks), almost like honey. This sunscreen reminds me of Neutrogena Sheer Zinc spf 50, another mineral sunscreen. And finally, it looks terrible under makeup, even with a light foundation. On the plus side, it's affordable, contains a good dose of Zinc Oxide (21%), and can be bought anywhere.
