Most Helpful Positive Review Great for the price Product is very decent for the price. It's a bit runny, so you have to use a little at a time to cover a large area. The smell isn't the greatest, a little mediciny. Ulta's aloe vera after sun gel was much better. However, it's not sticky and dries pretty fast. It definitely helps with the burning and itching sensation of the sunburn effect. Definitely helped my skill recover faster from a medium burn. I used once a day for two days and all the discomfort was gone.
Most Helpful Critical Review Don't recommend If you're like me and looking for an elegant, inexpensive substitute to sticky aloe vera, this probably isn't the product for you. It's basically just a strongly fragranced lotion. I used it on hot, sensitive, not-quite burnt skin, and while it did preserve my tan and I didn't peel, it also stung slightly and had no cooling affect at all. My skin was still hot to the touch hours later, even after reapplying. Admittedly, I think I may be slightly allergic - I used this on my face and my eyes burned and got really swollen.
Two stars because I didn't peel and it is a decent light body/hand lotion (actually wish it was heavier). Minus stars because of very strong fragrance and it didn't sooth or cool my sun-irritated skin.
I recommend Banana Boat's after-sun or just regular aloe vera, which are both safe to use on the face and are instantly cooling and soothing.
I got this on sale for half off, so I won't bother returning and will just use it as a moisturizer for my body, just not when my skin is sun-sensitive. Will not repurchase.
Reviewed by 35 customers Works well but smells horrible 2
Doc Pam from Detroit, MI
Bought this to use on a recent vacation. I was surprised how thin the lotion. I did find it went on easy and was moisturizing BUT the smell was horrible. Like a stale, musty closet. I would have to put a different lotion to cover the smell. I'm not sure if they changed the formula or created a bad batch.
Smells terrible 1
HH from In
Sounded like a lovely smell and I was excited to see aloe/lotion mix for such a good price but smells like wax. Nothing good about this smell AT ALL. Maybe it has just been sitting on a shelf too long somewhere? I don't suggest.
It's okay for the price 3
Ms Be from New York
It's runny and very thin lotion. The smell isn't that good either ! It's not sticky in which I like but I wish it was a bit thicker !!! I use a lot of it because it's so runny… I actually use Aloe Vera gel for the cooling after spending time in the sun and then I'd go over my whole body with this lotion for double moisturizing !!

Smells AWFUL!! 1
Dana A. from TX
I bought this for myself, but put some in my hands to rub on my boyfriend's shoulders one day after he was in the sun. He ended up not wanting any on, so I just rubbed it into my own hands. It STINKS! BAD!! I don't even know if it works well or not because I don't even want to try on myself now due to the smell of it. I love beachy smells, but this did NOT smell beachy at all.
Works OK but smell is terrible!!! 2
MeggerB from Reading PA
I really like the way this product makes my skin feel after a day out in the sun, but honestly cannot get past the horrible smell!!! It is supposed to be coconut scented but instead it has a strong unpleasant chemical smell. I will probably end up throwing the whole bottle out based on that alone :(
Not a fan 1

Smells horrible and very thin lotion.
Wanted to like this 1
Kristin K from Franklin, MI
I really wanted to like this after-sun moisturizer ...however the consistency and fragrance ( or lack there of) could not be overcome.
Sorry to have to return, however without in-store testers -I had no idea of the undesirable smell.
I would buy again 5

I can not get over the smell first of all. Smell is a major factor for me. I love beachy scents and this is exactly that. Smells like fresh coconuts. I went to Florida to see family and I ran on the dock. I can have a bad habit of falling asleep in the sun or staying out too long without realizing it and paying the price for it later with a bad sun burn. This soothes my skin, moisturizes, and made my tan last longer. I'm in love and will not go back to Florida unless I've packed this.

Not as rich as I had hoped 3
Jojo from Washington
Fair price but not as hydrating as I hoped
ok im obsessed 5
Jenny from Boston, MA
works well. its a watery consistency that dries quickly on your skin. i feel like that consistency is perfect for after sun care. you dont want anything thick and heavy that you have to rub over your burnt or sensitive skin from being in the sun all day. it definitely works as indicated. if i use after a slight burn i wake up feeling brand new. skin doesnt peel and no pain. i even put some on my boyfriend after he burned. he complained about the smell and consistency but he woke up with no pain or sensitivity. his skin never peeled. def worth it
The best after sun lotion!! 5
Andrea from pa
I absolutely love this, I will use this over aloe or anything else from now on! I went to Florida got burnt everyday put this on at night and bamm I was tan and ready to go the next day! It smells super good too
Great after sun lotion! 5
JL from Mississippi
I was applying this after every time I was out in the sun and it immediately soothed my parched skin. I got a little too much sun at the beach and applied two coats of this and woke up with a significant reduction in redness. Thank goodness for this lotion!
The best!!!! 5
Caseyyy from Pennsylvania
This is my go to right after a long day outside tanning. I am a person who doesn't tan easily at all, but after I burn and put this stuff on it works wonders!!!! Turns my burn right into a tan!!!!!
Meh 2
Mrswilsonforprez from Idaho
It honestly just felt like watered down lotion, I wouldn't recommend for dry skin, it almost left me feeling more dry and ashy than before.
Nice 5
whit from utah
This feels nice after you've been in the sun for a while. Very moisturizing and smells nice. It even has a cooling effect. However, i would NOT recommend putting this on a sunburn. It stings. This is perfect to hydrate your skin after getting lots of sun, not for repairing burned skin; for that, just stick with Aloe Vera.
love it! 5
SadieJRedd from Wyoming
I really like this stuff! I burn really easily and after being outside a while, this stuff feels really nice. love the smell!

Jaw dropping good 5
Madison from Alabama
I normally do not like lotion, but when I tell you this is the best stuff I have ever used I am not lying. This lotion feels and smells like you are at a spa at the beach. I have never owned a lotion that feels so good. And it seals your tan at the same time!! If I could give this more stars I would!
Really good!! 5
Meagan from USA
This smells so good -very tropical which I love. It also makes your skin feel very soft and smooth after being in the sun!
I would buy this again! 5
Chelsea from Hanover, PA
This product helped me when I came home from the beach. My skin was very dry and this product helped make it feel nice and soft.
Feels nice on the skin, smells great 5
Kim from Long Beach, CA
I purchased this lotion to use after being in the sun but I use it all the time instead of just after sun. It feels really nice and it smells good. It has a beachy, sun tan lotion scent.
