Bullfrog Quik Gel Sunscreen SPF 50 | Oxybenzone & Octinoxate Free | Broad Spectrum Moisturizing UVA/UVB, 5oz…

Always loved Bulldog products, Compares well to other more expensive products and I like the gel factor and it being clear. I need water resistant products as I sweat during summer during yard work and gardening and have to be careful due to skin cancer issues. On this bottle it seems to be only half full. Did not seem to be wet or sticky so I do not know if it leaked during transit or was only filled half full when filled at the factory.

One of my favorite sunscreens it works so well on my sweaty kids and husband. Do not use with lotion spf. It won’t let it stick and it gets icky.

Highly rated sunscreen that feels cool when applied and is easy to apply. Effective sunscreen.

Update: I added a star to this review because after I used it for a while I got the trick of applying it without it pilling up. It is super quick drying so you have to literally put it on and do like one quick swipe over the area that you want in a thin layer and be done. There’s no rubbing it in. It dries super fast and with just a hint of a sheen but not greasy, sticky and no white residue. It’s great for my tattoo because it brings out the colors. I’ve actually become a fan of this gel sunscreen in the right circumstances and applied correctly. Original review: I am very impressed with the bullfrog face sticks as well as the bullfrog insect repellent and sunscreen in one. I hate the feel of sunscreen lotion and its greasiness but I also am allergic to a lot of the sunscreen sprays so I thought this gel would be a nice compromise. I used it for the first time today and no matter how quickly or lightly I tried rubbing it on it ended up leaving little sunscreen "pills" everywhere. I did not get burned so at least some of it stayed but in all fairness I do not burn that easily. I also noticed that after I went swimming, it left white streaks all over my body which I have never had with sunscreen before. Overall, I was not impressed and I would definitely keep using the sunscreen sticks as well as the mosquito repellent version but I would never buy the gel again.

My son absolutely hates putting on sunscreen, so we have tried a lot of different types and brands. Recently, my son told me he liked using aloe Vera gel and that if there was a sunscreen like that, he would use it. I went to work looking for a gel sunscreen and of course, Amazon never disappoints. I grabbed this one and tried it out on my kiddo. The sunscreen goes on easily and has good coverage (is long lasting and effective), but move fast because it dries quickly! I do feel like we use a little more than we would with lotion style sunscreen because of how quickly it dries. It also has a very strong smell. But I can get past those things for a sunscreen my son is willing to use!

I grew up using Bullfrog on the lake, beach, boat and anywhere I needed protection from the sun, while participating in water activities. When I found out bullfrog was back, I ordered two bottles! Yesterday, I tested it out before taking it to the beach by using a UV detector sticker at the pool. I followed all directions from both the stickers and the Bullfrog. Bullfrog never provided adequate protection, clearly not meeting their advertised SPF, as our stickers remained blotchy purple, even after *3* layers applied. As well, though it is advertised as Water and Sweat resistant for 80 min, it washed entirely off the second we were in the water, despite waiting 20 min for the sunscreen to fully absorb and dry. To be sure it wasn't the stickers, I applied a different sunscreen on reapplication, which proved that the sticker was working as intended. Last point - it pills. As you rub the product into your skin, it pills up into a gooey, disgusting mess that is embarrassing to have to deal in public. It looks like skin falling off, or half dried Elmer's glue. You can't layer another sunscreen on top during reapplication, either, for this reason. And none of that even touches on that one bottle was leaking on arrival, and both are MAYBE 75% full, closer to half. Really hate that I bought two bottles and can't return them.

This is the only sunscreen I use and that actually works. I am very light skinned and have gotten second degree sunburn before. After using this product I have no longer gotten sunburned. I like it cause I don’t have to reapply it after getting into the water. Only thing is it does have a weird smell and it is oily. Best tip is to put a on 30 minutes to an hour before leaving the house so it can dry and keep you from sweating it into your eyes.

I got this product because of the great reviews. It goes on clear and dries and does protect the skin very well. But it's not for us. We can usually use any brand of SPF and have used many different brands. This one gave us skin reactions. The gel goes on thin then dries and leave a clear film. The film stays on pretty well even when submerged in water. The film didn't bother me but my kids hated it. They did not like the shiny look, the slightly tacky feeling, or that if you rubbed it the product would come off like eraser shavings. We ultimately discontinued using this product because I think our family is sensitive to something in this product. After using it twice for swimming in the backyard and swim classes, we all have little bumps all over our shoulders, chest, and back, where I primarily applied the product. The bumps are not itchy or inflamed but our skin is rough with tiny flesh-colored bumps. I am glad I did not put this on our faces! We stopped using this and hopefully with a few days of hydrocortisone, our skin will return to normal.
