Sunscreen news

I can verify that Coppertone does not work, since I ended up with one of the worst burns I had in years! Within 24 hours I had burn blisters! Ouch! After that I bring the can with me to reapply every so often and even then I tan up even more. I heard that Bullfrog was really good. Has anyone used that?

Thanks for the tip on the others, I might need to switch.

I've used Bullfrog. It smells nice, and it's (in most forms) a gel, not a lotion. We made it through a trip to Florida where we were (not by choice) out in the sun all day, every day without a burn. We did re-apply, but I don't think excessively so. However - the negatives - it DOES NOT come off in the shower. You can feel it for a day or 2. Also, be careful handling plastic after applying (I think this would apply to paint too) - it dissolved a couple of pens on me.

It works well. My only problem with it is that it STINGS if it gets in your eyes. I sweat like a fiend, so this is a big consideration for me.
