My husband has many pre-cancerous skin spots from the sun. His dermatologist highly recommended this for him anytime he is in the sun. He uses it every time he goes outdoors.

I have but not for very long! I would use it for about maybe 20 mins to 30 and then put a SPF on!

This product helped me with brown spots, but it works better after you have washed your face and waited around 30 minutes to apply the cream. I cannot say anything regarding sun exposure. I would say ask your own doctor about, to make sure you get the proper care according to your own skin condition. Good luck.

I'm pretty bad about reapplying but the bottle turns blue in the sun (hence "blue" lizard) and that is when you're supposed to reapply. I'm almost positive this is water resistant. It's a pretty thick sunblock compared to a spray SPF for example. I have very fair skin and used this to protect me from the Cabo San Lucas sun rays and it did the job. Recommended by my dermatologist, too so I'd say it's a good choice.

I have used this lotion to tan outdoors as well as indoors and I get great results! But be mindful it doesnt have any spf to block from burning. I love this Snooki lotion!

I would not recommend it...I live in a hot dry climate...and even though this sunscreen is supposed to not clog your pores..it does have an oily feel...so with you have oily skin and the humidity...I probably wouldnt use it...however since I bought this I tried Obagi sunscreen and like it much better..you should look into it. THE Obagi is not greasy and absorbs nicely into your skin. I also have Rosacea...thus am ultra sensitive and this does not break me out.

Yes! I think it works well...but now that we are coming upon days with more sun be careful to use sunscreen with it.

Yes, if you use it as directed, it should keep you from tanning. You have to reapply it every two hours while you are outside. You also need to reapply after you get out of the pool or after you have sweated a lot.

Nope I've been using it for the past 6 months it's done nothing, it didnt even combat the usual slight skin darkening I go through due to the Florida summer sun. Everyone is reacts differently but that's been my experience.

Yes I have been faithfully using this product for about a month now, and as mentioned I am currently deployed so the hot weather results in the moisturizer melting off my skin before it even has enought time to absorb; this moisturizer takes more time than usual to truly soak into the skin, because my Olay all day mositurizer soaks in instantaneously, so that is a down for me with this product. I do not use it to actually see a more 'youthful' look but to prevent wrinkles and free-radicals effects. I opted to use it as a night cream because it gives the product enough time to soak in and I wake up up with beautiful soft velvety skin :) Yes I have been faithfully using this product for about a month now, and as mentioned I am currently deployed so the hot weather results in the moisturizer melting off my skin before it even has enought time to absorb; this moisturizer takes more time than usual to truly soak into the skin, because my Olay all day mositurizer soaks in instantaneously, so that is a down for me with this product.

I've always used it on my face,its not a self tanner..works great in a tanning bed,but i think you can use it outdoors also.

As its statement, it should be used as a night cream. There should be no chance for you to see sunshine. Don't recommend use the chemical under daylight to induce further sun spit in my opinion.

I use it at night or when I am indoors. If I am planning to be outside, I use their Total Effects with sunscreen.

I can't answer that but I can tell you it really didn't help me at all. I have dark spots from sun damage and I didn't notice any difference after using this product.

I don't know what chemicals are in the product abut it WORKS. I fish a lot and out in the sun for hours on end. since I have been using RIT SUN GUARD I don't need to be treated for ultra violet damage as often. IT WORKS. yOU SHOULD ASK YOUR dR.

I love this product! I use it every time in the tanning bed. I don't know why you couldn't wear it outside but there is NO sunscreen in it. It will not protect your skin at all. Just keep that in mind.

Hi! Yes, this product is going to protect your skin both from sunburns and from darkening. Please do remember that any sun exposure can darken your skin, even with protection, but the combination of sunscreen with zinc oxide and traditional solutions like umbrellas and covering up will protect you best! Good luck!
