New Favorite!
I have always looked for a sunscreen that was moisturizing but also didn’t pill, especially around the outline of my eyebrows and face. I’ve tried a couple here and there, even really expensive ones like La Roche-Posay. Any of their sunscreens just were NOT doing it for me. I also don’t think a sunscreen should be $31 anyways.I’ve tried CeraVe’s ultra light sunscreen SPF 30 and I liked that for a bit but I feel like it still pilled around the outer parts of my face. Then for the longest time, I was using Black Girl Sunscreen Kids Sunscreen SPF 50 for body and face and I really liked that. Cheap, effective, didn’t leave a white cast, and is worth looking into. Something I would continue repurchasing if I see it. I tried the Eucerin Age Defense + Hyaluronic Acid 50 SPF and while I did love how that dried down, it was more of a satin-y finish, I don’t know how well my skin responded to it. It could have been a mixture of other skincare products I was using before and have stopped, so I really only use that on my hands.I follow Dr. Dray and Abbey Yung (love them) on YouTube and both have tested the Bondi Sands Sunscreen out and had very good feedback for it. I decided to buy it off Amazon because I couldn’t find it anywhere local (I don’t think it’s sold locally in the US because it’s an Australian brand) but I figured why not. I got their fragrance free face and body sunscreen too and it is VERY moisturizing! Felt like I was putting on a body lotion. I personally love that feeling. I think once the face sunscreen dries down a bit, it gives a beautifully glowy finish. I know not everyone loves that kind of look, but I have dry and sensitive skin and have dealt with pilling with a lot of sunscreens and I’ve had NO issues with this sunscreen.When I got it, it must have been on sale because the face sunscreen was $6.99 and that’s why I bought it, but I definitely would continue to buy it at $12.99. I’ve used Bondi Sands tanning products before so I figured their skincare/sunscreen should be good too. I was not wrong! I’ve had NO irritation, sensitivity, burning issues, no white cast at all using their sunscreens. 10/10 recommend.I do plan on wearing makeup for the first time after using this sunscreen so we will see how it holds up but I have a feeling it will be great. Definitely worth a try :)

10/10 super impressed!
Updated review after a month: After almost a month of wearing, I did start to experience slight sensitivity/burning and some superficial acne. Nothing else changed in my routine but incorporating this. This is still a great product in my opinion and it may not irritate you personally, so try it! Oh and buy hthe regular sized one, the face one is just them marketing to specific parts of the body. The ingredients for both are the same. I will still use this on my neck and body and stick with my physical sunscreen from DRMTLGY for my face.Original Review: Trust me when I say that I have tried every single sunscreen under the sun. I have really sensitive skin, I use tretinoin, and I go out in the sun daily. I had been using the DRMTLGY physical sunscreen, because it was the only one that didn't make me break out or burn my skin. There are a lot of chemical sunscreens that wore really beautifully on my skin, but I could not tolerate the chemical aspect. This product by Bondi Sands is PERFECTION for sensitive acne prone skin. It goes on sort of like a moisturizer so it can feel a little bit greasy, but it dries down within five minutes and leaves you with a really natural glow. And you cannot beat the price! The stuff I was using before was twice this much and felt like clay on my skin. This is lightweight and wears beautifully with zero white cast. Nice job, Bondi Sands!

Not for me (i have sensitive skin) but great moisturizer sunscreen
I LOVED the way this sunscreen felt in my face. It had enough moisturizer and hydration to use after my serums by itself. It felt like a cloud on my face when i put it on. It was great. Did not burned as other chemical sunscreen do on my face, and it was glowy not greasy, and did not burn my eyes either. It took a while to dry up though, felt sticky for a while. I wore it without make up on top that day. BUT after i took it off during my nighttime routine I had irritation and i broke out into pimples. and i had to treat my skin barrier that night. My face was red and just had red bumps like pimples. i tried it a week later again to see if maybe it was my serums interacting with it. so that day i only washed my face and then put the sunscreen on and again it was great when you put it on BUT throughout the day i could see my face getting red patches and again the pimples started showing up even my neck started breaking out. so NOW i use it for my arms and that works. But i wont be re-purchasing. I have dry sensitive skin, usually all chemical sunscreen irritates my face (unless they are Asian sunscreens)

Definitely a Keeper
BONDI SANDS is one of the best SPF50 sunscreens I have used. This fragrance free sunscreen does not sting my eyes when applying or removing the product. It works well over my other skincare serums and feels very hydrating on my dry skin. My skin looks dewy, but does not feel greasy. I've been using this product daily for several months without any issues. This is definitely a keeper in my skincare routine.
