No-Ad Sunblock SPF 45 (16 oz) 5 Star Rating: Cheapism Best Pick
Summary:

Users like the ease of application, non-sticky and non-greasy feel, effective protection, and cheap price. No-Ad offers broad-spectrum protection and comes in of SPF levels from 8 to 85.

If you've never heard of No-Ad Sunblock, that might be because the company doesn't spend money on advertising and marketing. Instead, consumers learn about the product through word-of-mouth and No-Ad Sunblock reviews on sites like Buzzillions and Drugstore.com.

Users posting No-Ad Sunblock reviews say the SPF 30 version goes on easily and absorbs well; it protects hairless scalps as well as fair-complexioned cyclists who routinely take long bike rides. Many users also note its relatively non-greasy feel, although some No-Ad Sunblock reviews on Viewpoints and other sites grumble about the smell. Perhaps its chief selling point is the price: Numerous No-Ad Sunblock reviews comment appreciatively on the price and overall value, and this is one reason a dermatologist recommended the product, according to a No-Ad Sunblock review on Buzzillions. Several No-Ad Sunblock reviews claim it works as well as the higher-priced brands.

No-Ad Sunblock comes in a variety of SPF levels, including 15, 30, 45, 60, and 85. The formulations vary somewhat depending on the SPF level; No-Ad SPF 45, for example, contains aloe vera and vitamin E, as well as coconut oil, mineral oil, and the UVA/UVB fighters avobenzone and oxybenzone, while No-Ad SPF 60 contains glycerin, aloe vera, cocoa seed butter, olive oil, vitamins E and A, and avobenzone and oxybenzone. In some SPF levels you've also got a choice of spray or lotion; packaging size also varies. This cheap sunscreen is water- and sweat-resistant.

Cheap No-Ad Sunblock may be a bit harder to find than the big-name brands, but at $8 for 16 ounces and with strong reviews from users, this is a bargain you might want to snap up whenever you can. Keep a stock on hand for any summertime activity.
