Hello,
I was surprised to see it works! Here is the description that I found on their web site:
AVEENO® CONTINUOUS PROTECTION™ Sunblock Lotions with SPF 45 and SPF 30
Formulated to provide better, longer-lasting sun protection. Unlike ordinary sunscreens, these formulas combine the patented ACTIVE PHOTOBARRIER COMPLEX™, which maintains protection over time against the sun's harmful rays, with natural soy proteins and antioxidants to help shield your skin from environmental damage. These oil-free, non-greasy formulas are also hypoallergenic and water resistant. Now you can discover the secret for long lasting sun protection!

These lotions are good for everyday use and gentle enough for sensitive skin. Additional product benefits include: non-greasy, oil-free, water resistant, dermatologist-recommended brand, endorsed by the Skin Cancer Foundation

I tried it only for one day, but so far I don't have allergic reaction as I usually have to any kind of sunblocks. I will use it for at least two weeks and post my review again. Hope, I finally found my sunblock Pray

Will be interested in how you get on with this, my MIL has dry skin and likes the Aveeno range, I know she will be looking for a good sunscreen this summer.

Hello everyone,
I've been using it for a few days now. I can say that my skin didn't brake out from this sunblock, but when I put it on, my face become very red and irritated Sad

. I believe the cause is chemicals that in the sunblock. I tried to use it on my arms and legs with the same result: irritated and red skin.
Another thing is even though it written SPF45, it doesn't protect as if it would be SPF45. I got two frecles on my nose Shock

while I used this cream Crying or Very sad

. And I didn't go out under the sun for ling time. So, if you have sensitive skin (as I have) I wouldn't suggest to use this cream.
P.S.
I ordered Skiceutical and Lavera sunblocks. I will post later reviews about them. They both physical sunblocks, and I hope they will give protection without side effects.
Lara
