Customer Review: Not for me

Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program (What's this?)
I've used a lot of sunscreens living here in south florida but this was about the strangest product I've ever tried. It comes out of the tube like light tan pancake make up and is thick like toothpaste. They claim it dries clear but it doesn't. It leaves you looking like you either just rolled out of a coffin after a year of being locked inside or you are joining a band of street mimes. I mean really, this product makes your face look like you are dead not to mention the extremely heavy slimy feel that completely clogs your pores. Hard to believe anyone would put something so awful on the market. OK it's SPF 58 but I would rather go out in long pants and long sleeves and wear a face mask then use this product. It also stains your clothes the same awful beige/tan color, nice! You can get a giant bottle of NO-AD that works just as well for a fraction of the price and no stains on your clothes or the look of death. Stay away!Customer Review: Good choice for sunblock

Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program (What's this?)
I cannot use chemical sunscreens and therefore must use a high SPF sunblock and most of those are very drying. Fallene's SPF 58 is the perfect mixture of sunblock and moisture for my skin. I liked the ingredient list for Cotz but wasn't crazy about it. This point is simply a personal choice for the skin guardian in each of us.
Also, as with most general sunscreens, I did not and would not apply this to my face. Face specific lotions should be used for that. I love the slight tint, so you don't look like a ghost. Might not be okay for darker complexions, though. I'm caramel. It is lightweight too, my only wish is that they would leave out the parabens.
Overall, I liked this product and feel it delivers as promises. Melts in high humidity, but excellent in drier climate. I agree with others that say it's a tad on the pricey side, but with the way it spreads a little does go a long way.
Customer Review: Wonderful Product!

This product is wonderful! I have used this product daily since I received it. I have very sensitive skin and have not experienced any reactions. This sunscreen reminds me of a product marketed by a well known cosmetic line that I use to purchase from a department store. But this is better!
The sunscreen glides on easily and a little goes a long way. I apply it a few minutes after my moisturizer. I also reapply if I am going to be in the sun for lengthy periods of time. I use this product on my face and sparingly on the backs of my hands. Since this sunscreen is tinted, I do not advise its use near clothing items.
When you first apply the sunscreen, you will experience a lighter than normal facial tone ~ but this goes away in a few minutes. Since using this product, I do not use any other facial products (powder or foundation) other than eye makeup. It is light and does the job!

As a fisherman who lives in Southwest Florida I spend a lot of time in the sun. The intense heat, excessive humidity, and salt water give any sunblock a real test. I typically use Coppertone Oil Free SPF 30, which has performed great. Fallene Cotz SPF 58 is unlike any sunblock I've ever used. It's thicker and more difficult to spread but that's probably because I'm used to a lighter SPF 30. Also, it's a tan color which doesn't rub in very well and at the end of the day I still had a tan-colored residue on my skin. However, it's very durable which might explain why a residue was left. After a lot of sweating and getting wet from salt water I was still protected and didn't get any sunburn whatsoever. Fallene Cotz also feels non-greasy. I have sensitive and acne prone skin and didn't suffer any adverse affects from this product. I like this sunblock but not enough to quit using what I normally use.Customer Review: Blocks the sun well but don't use with light colored clothing.

After using this product for several days, including a full sunny day at the Baltimore Zoo, I have come to appreciate the sun blocking properties of the Fallene Cotz sunblock. Even without reapplying, it kept my skin looking it's regular pale tone. UVB protection, then, gets high marks. UVA protection is harder to gauge. UVB rays cause sunburns. UVA rays age and damage skin -- think sun spots and skin cancer. The Fallene Cotz, with Zinc, has the right ingredient to block those nasty UVAs so I'll take packaging at its word.
The only problem with the product is the light coppery tint. The package says it dries clear. While it appeared to look clear on my face, it did leave noticeable residue on my gray shirt collar as well as on a napkin I used to wipe my mouth. Knowing that, I will just be careful to avoid applying it in situations where it may leave residue on my clothing.
