I know this isn’t the most popular sunblock out there, but I’m so glad I found it. I have tried many, many brands, and I even bought Babo once before, used it, wasn’t all that impressed, and went back to trying some of the same things from before and others that were new to me. I’ve tried ones recommended by my dermatologist. There are the typical ones that are supposed to work for sensitive skin. I’ve tried Neutrogena (several formulas), Blue Lizard, Aveena, Mary Kay, No Name for Faces, Vanicream, CeraVe, and more. I would go back to Babo every so often, but I’m going to be honest, that I didn’t care for the smell, and I didn’t like the way it applied. It’s not horrible, but it can take some effort to get it to blend in. I’m in my 60s, and I was having an awful, really awful time with my skin constantly breaking out. It was especially bad on my nose. Sometimes I had little red bumps that were watery and other times whiteheads. I was using a generic retin-a AND a clay mask, which kind of helped, but it never lasted. There were days when I avoided using sunblock, and I would still break out! What I think happened was I wasn’t giving my skin enough time to get over reacting to all the chemicals from the other formulas. CeraVe was the one that seemed to take me over the edge. It gets wonderful reviews, but it made my skin worse than ever. I knew I had less problems in the past when I used Babo, so I decided to give it another try. But this time I stuck with it for awhile, and I didn’t use anything else. Well, I’m here to tell you that my skin has really cleared up. It’s the best it’s been in years. I had one little bump on my nose today, but it’s been weeks since that’s happened. The whiteheads I was constantly fighting along the sides of my nose (right in the crease) have dramatically improved. I’m ecstatic to finally have nice skin again!! Please don’t ever change this formula.
