  • The best sunscreen. I use this everyday for my baby. Feb 18, 2024

  • Seems nice. Not overly greasy, but its thick so I feel like I use a lot more than usual. Jun 15, 2021

  • Go to sun block for my little one! Aug 21, 2020

  • Our sunblock go-to! It doesnt irritate my daughters skin, applies thick without being greasy or bothersome, doesn't irritate her eyes and has always prevented sunburn. Aug 19, 2020

    Definitely works at preventing sunburn, but is so hard to rub in. I feel like have to pull and twist my kids arm. I finally used it up and can go back to our favorite! Jul 14, 2020

  • I have confidence that my baby is safe with Aveeno sunscreen, but dislike how thick it is. It requires a lot of diligence to work into my children's skin, though they are well protected and don' burn. Jul 08, 2020

  • Expensive for the amount you have to put on your baby from such a small tube. May 27, 2020

  • My son is allergic to so many of the sunscreen brands that this is the only one he can use. It is thick but does not cause any flair ups or aggravate his eczema. May 24, 2020

  • Wouldn’t recommend. This has a low rating with the Environmental Working Group. Get the sensitive skin version which is great and has the best rating because its active ingredient is zinc oxide. Feb 26, 2020

    Works well on little ones but not as great on older kids sweating, running around and in and out of the water Jan 28, 2020

  • I use this on both of my kids at the beach and it works wonderfully. Never had a sunburn. Jan 02, 2020

    I was hoping this would be a little less thick but it's not. Still trying it though, hoping it doesn't make my daughter break out. Aug 28, 2019

  • I use almost al aveeno products but this one disappoints. It’s very thick and not as easy to apply as other sunscreens because it doesn’t seem to absorb Aug 06, 2019

  • I love all the Aveeno products. This works wonderfully keeping my sons skin protected and soft. May 30, 2019

  • Very happy with this sunblock. No harsh chemicals like other brands have. Apr 12, 2019

    • Rani M.

    • San Marcos, California

    I tried to like this b/c it's safe for baby, but every time I tried rubbing it in it balled up & left a grainy feel on the skin (I guess b/c of the colloidal oatmeal). So personally a no go for us :( Apr 10, 2019

  • Had some minor skin reaction to this, but it protected from the sun. Reaction went away in a day, and did not return. Recommend testing small amount before going into sun. Apr 08, 2019

  • Wonderful sunscreen. Not oily at all and works well. I used it for myself generally as well as most most sunscreens make me break out in acne. Definitely recommend. Feb 09, 2019

  • My daughter has very sensitive skills and is prone to breakouts and eczema. This sunscreen was lightweight, not greasy, and I felt she was well protected! Summer must-have! Oct 23, 2018

  • I used this on my little one at 1 month old. It worked fine and he didn't have a skin reaction. Oct 09, 2018

  • We tried a sample of this product when we saw it on a countertop display at The Little Gym. Loved it! Goes on easily and we trust the Aveeno brand. Aug 31, 2018

  • Thick and hard to rub in! Jul 10, 2018

  • Protects from sun as it should. It is very pasty and keeps skin a very white color. But gets the job done! Jun 13, 2018

  • Pretty neutral about the sun block. Worked great. Was not greasy at all. Nice size container to pack in diaper bag. No reactions. Jun 05, 2018

    • Alena T.

    • Raleigh, North Carolina

    My daughter has sensitive skin so we thought this would be a good option. Not only did it irritate her skin, she got sunburned even though I applied every 45 minutes! Very disappointed with this Jan 27, 2018

  • Works very well. Jan 18, 2018

  • This is my favorite sunscreen for babies. It's not to thick and very easy to apply. Oct 13, 2017

  • I bought this when the store was out of our usual and love it. It is safe and recommended. It does get a little tough to rub in however! Oct 06, 2017

    Good EWG rating, but was kind of thick to apply. Oct 05, 2017

  • Nice and easy on his skin Aug 23, 2017

    A little thick to apply but has worked great and doesn't irritate my babies skin. Jul 23, 2020

  • I loved the feel of this sunscreen- not greasy and easy to apply and rub in. Protected my sensitive skinned baby. Jan 26, 2019

  • I've just starting using this brand this summer. There's often white streak and it's hard to use on the face but it does the job. It's easier to blend than some of the others I've used and non-toxic. Jun 13, 2018

    • Deidre C.

    • High Point, North Carolina

    My little guy is allergic to regular sunscreen but this is perfect for him! It does take more time to rub it in but it does great for him! Nov 15, 2017

  • Love this sunscreen! Rubs on nicely and doesn't turn your face white from the lotion. I use this to protect my kids skin and my face! Sep 28, 2017

  • Easy to rub in. Didn't irritate my sensitive skin daughter. May 23, 2017

  • Works well - super thick and difficult to spread in - I will use consistently on Baby and my face - plan to use something thinner for body May 18, 2017

  • This was very take it or leave it! It did seem to prevent any burns but was not the easiest to apply. Apr 17, 2017

  • I love aveeno Dec 17, 2016

  • Goes on really easily (not greasy) and works great. Nov 20, 2016

  • Does not go on smoothly. Also, dermatologist said to look for a mineral based sunblock (zinc oxide & titanium oxide). This one is chemical based. Oct 01, 2016

  • No sunburn yet! Jul 20, 2016

  • Use this a lot. Jul 06, 2016

  • I used this on my son & he never burned. Oct 15, 2015

  • This is my go to sunscreen for my child. Dr recommended! Jul 23, 2015

  • Really great sunscreen! Rubs in well, and isn't greasy. I've even used it myself, and it did an amazing job at protecting my vampire like skin! Jul 13, 2015

  • This sunscreen runs in so easily just like lotion leaves no residue and is not greasy! Best I've found Jun 03, 2015

  • Great sunblock for sensitive skin! Jul 28, 2014

  • Amazingly enough - still made our LO's skin break out. And she doesn't have that sensitive of skin. Jun 16, 2014

  • This is great if someone else is buying it for you-- too pricey, in my opinion. Jul 03, 2013
