Target Up & Up Advanced Repair Body Lotion Review: A dupe worth its weight in gold Yay! Further readingĬheck out my other sunscreen reviews here. Plus, it’s fragrance-free, which is good news for sensitive skin…and it doesn’t smell like quintessential sunblock. NO-AD Sport Sunscreen SPF 50 is highly affordable, which is great for your wallet, but even better, the low price point means that you won’t be tempted to skimp out on how much you actually apply-which ultimately leads to better protection against UV rays. We’re all tempted to skimp out on sunscreen on our body-it’s expensive (so much ground to cover!), time-consuming, and it can be difficult to find one that absorbs quickly into your skin. I plan to use NO-AD Sport Sunscreen SPF 50 on my body during the summer, but I’ll probably keep using a physical sunscreen on my face and neck, since those are more sensitive areas. It also contains Vitamin E, which may help make it even more effective for filtering UV rays.

Usually “broad spectrum” sunscreens only filter UVB rays, plus one of the UVA wavelength ranges, not both…so that’s a nice bonus. On the bright side (no pun intended), it provides a nice fragrance-free way to protect your body against UVA1, UVA2, and UVB rays. It also is a chemical sunscreen, which can be more irritating to sensitive skin. NO-AD Sport Sunscreen SPF 50 has its downsides: It contains oxybenzone, which makes it unsuitable for use at the beach. Plus, if you tend to sweat a lot in the summer, it’s a great option because it’s water-resistant/sweat-resistant for up to 80 minutes. Like other chemical sunscreens, it doesn’t really leave a white cast on your skin. It’s a bit of a runny texture, so easy to blend into the skin. But at least it does contain vitamin E! Plus, I can verify that it doesn’t really have any fragrance, so you don’t have to worry about that. Unfortunately, NO-AD Sport Sunscreen SPF 50 only contains vitamin E and oxybenzone, no vitamin C that I know of. "When vitamin C or a combination of vitamin C and E is formulated with a commercial UVA sunscreen (oxybenzone), an apparently greater than additive protection is noted against the phototoxic damage." The same study also found that a combination of oxybenzone and Vitamins C and E exhibited a greater-than-the-sum-of-its-parts protection against UV-related damage: The upside is that it contains Vitamin E (tocopheryl acetate), which has been shown to help boost protection against UV rays ( Source). Note that oxybenzone may be toxic to coral reefs, so you might want to opt for a different sunscreen during a beach vacation.
NO AD SUNSCREEN 15 FULL
That means this sunscreen contains ingredients that provide full broad spectrum protection.

Let’s review the table provided by the Skin Cancer Foundation, to verify which types of UV rays these active ingredients filter.Īvobenzone filters UVA1, homosalate, octisalate, and octocrylene filter UVB, and oxybenzone filters UVA2 and UVB.

This big bottle will last you quite a while. It’s SPF 50, fragrance-free, paraben-free (if you care about that), and pretty affordable. I think I’ve found an option that works quite well. That means we’ll be exposing more skin to the sun, which means that we need to find an affordable, effective sunscreen to put on our non-face areas, stat. But with summer fast approaching, we’ll all be wearing short-sleeves very, very soon. It’s too expensive to put it on everywhere!”Īlas, sunscreen can get really expensive. But when I ask that subset of sunscreen-wearing people a follow-up question, “Do you apply sunscreen everywhere, or just on your face?” They usually say, “Just my face. The other ~30 percent of the time, (s)he will nod, and I’ll give her/him a high five. Lately, I’ve been asking lots of people a question: “Do you put on sunscreen every day?” Most of the time, people answer no, and then find themselves confused that I even asked such a thing.
