Customer Reviews of Fallene Cotz SPF 58 Water Resistant UVB/UVA Sunscreen for Sensitive Skin, 2.5-Ounce Tube
Customer Review: Great Family Sunscreen
Summary: 5 Stars
Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program (What's this?)
This was a handy sized tube of sunscreen that I was impressed with for several reasons:
#1 I have a hard time finding sunscreen for both UVA and UVB rays so right there it scored points. Plus the prime shipping is a definite plus on Amazon.
#2 I appreciated the tint when applying to the kids. I worry I miss areas, and sometimes I have in the past and have ended up with stripes myself:-) My kids liked the tint too since it made them feel grown up like the lifeguards. Plus, the tint made me feel like I was getting fantastic coverage.
#3 My daughter and I have rather sensitive skin and we didn't have to deal with any stinging or rashes afterward. Major plus!
#4 It was very water resistant and I didn't have to reapply at all while we were at the waterpark - an all day event.
One thing to keep in mind for adults is that the tint can be a minor annoyance on the face if you aren't accustomed to one. Just double check if you are wearing it on your face that you have blended it in very carefully. I hadn't when we went to Great America and walked around for hours with a non-blended patch on the side of my face. It looks a bit like foundation that didn't blend then.
Customer Review: This really is a terrific sunscreen for sensitive skin!

Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program (What's this?)
When a product claims it's good for sensitive skin, I'm skeptical.
My skin is so fair I have a blue glow, so I need sunscreen. I also have sensitive skin with rosacea, so most non-prescription products cause a bad reaction. Commercial sunscreens combined with a bit of perspiration turn into something like battery acid on my skin.
After an hour in the sun with the Fallene Cotz I hadn't burned; I wasn't even pink. Even more exciting, I didn't have the usual welts I get from most creams and lotions.
The package says that this is a non-chemical sunscreen. It contains titanium oxide and zinc oxide, two ingredients I would expect to form a very thick white paste, but surprisingly it dries almost clear.
I'm amazed and excited that Fallene Cotz lives up to it's claim of being extra gentle for sensitive skin. This really worked out well for me.
Highly recommended!
FOLLOW UP - Today I had an appointment with my dermatologist and pulled the tube out of my purse to get his opinion. He was quite familiar with Fallene Cotz and confirmed my own impression that this is an excellent product.
Customer Review: Works well but pricey

Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program (What's this?)
This product says it protects sensitive skin against UVA (320-400 billionths of a meter wavelength) & UVB solar radiation (290-320 billionths of a meter wavelength)--& appears to do so. But, it also claims superiority since it utilizes Titanium Dioxide & Zinc Oxide to do so. These are more natural than the ingredients in competitive products. However, together they constitute only 13% of this product; the other 87% includes many, many "chemical" ingredients. Still, it's probably no worse for you than its competition unless you're sensitive to one of these "inactive ingredients." And, frankly, it seems to work quite well. It has coloring but that does not transfer to the skin when rubbed in. It has a nice 58 SPF and is water resistant--yet I didn't have much trouble washing it off with soap & water. Didn't seem a problem on my skin at all--I didn't notice any greasiness or other unpleasantness. But, the price is rather high--even with the Amazon 1/3 off discount it's still not cheap. So, one has the usual trade-off--do the ends (presumably better/safer protection) justify the means (high cost)? This is a personal decision for you to make. Hava grt day, NealCustomer Review: Great stuff!

Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program (What's this?)
When I first went to use this product and saw the vaguely skin-covered tint, I thought, "Oh no ..." Shades of that awful "acne treatment" I used to use in sixth grade that was the approximate color of a Band-Aid!
But after I rubbed in the sunscreen, the tint disappeared completely, even on my whiter-than-white skin. It did leave my face looking a tiny bit greasy -- though I have oily skin, so most sunscreens do -- but nothing a little powder didn't take care of.
There seems to be only a very mild scent -- I don't know that I could identify it, but I guess it seems sort of minerally to me. (Is that a word?) Definitely not offensive, and I appreciate not having to smell like a coconut every time I wear sunscreen.
As others have mentioned, the protection seems very good. I haven't had a chance to test out its water resistant properties yet, but will definitely bring this along next time I'm at the lake or pool and report back!
One minor complaint: I wouldn't wear this with light or white clothing. The tint does seem to rub off on them.
Customer Review: Keeps the burn out.

Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program (What's this?)
My first experience with this product was at the beach. I first applied it to my skin before leaving the house. This would ensure that it would work into my skin before going into the water. As I squeezed the tube, I noticed that there was a tint of color in the lotion. A "flesh" tone. Problem with this is that if you get it on your clothes, you'll see the streaks. I was wearing a white T-shirt so I had tan color streaks on my shirt. This product says it dries clear. However, as you rub it into your skin, it's almost a white, ashy color instead of the flesh tone from the tube. But eventually it goes away and does dry clear. I've used many different sun protection lotion at the beach. I still come back a bit burned. However, this product didn't seem to have that problem. The best way to tell if you are burned is when you enter the shower. That's where you'll feel whether you are burned or not. When I got home and showered, I didn't feel that hot burning feeling.
I recommend this product as a great alternative to the leading brands of sun protection.
