Invisible Zinc 4hr Water Resistant SPF50+
2 reviews
Only use this if you want to get burnt! – Brought this as I thought it was going to provide better protection, it did not! I thought 4 hours water resistant, that's great, exactly what we need at the beach! How wrong I was. First day we used we plastered it on every single spot especially face. Horrible thick cream which I joked about using the whole 100ml in that one trip as it was that thick. After 2 hours I felt extremely sunburnt, asked my husband and he said I was very red. I am very fair skin, my kids are olive skin, my husband dark skin. We decided to leave and start after sun aloe Vera at home as it was hurting quite a bit by then. Just in the two hours at the beach I got so seriously sunburnt that it blistered! A week later and I am in so much pain, still unsightly red sunburn on my arms, legs, and my face in addition to these painful raw blisters on my face. I have never, ever been sunburnt this bad without sunscreen little own with sunscreen. My kids went from red to tan, however after 4 days, but they never have been sunburnt previously so experienced a lot of pain for 3 days. In all honesty NEVER BUY THIS PRODUCT! I wish I had gone with banana boat, or any other subpar, cheaper sunscreen, it would have offered more protection for me and my family. I have never been so disappointed in a product.
Purchased in at Chemist Warehouse Physical Store for $22.99.
Stings and burns – Have used other Invisible Zinc products (i.e. Sheer Defence) and found it to be fantastic. However 'Invisible Zinc Sport mineral sunscreen 50+' caused my face to swell, burn and become very irritated. Particularly around my eyes and cheeks. Never had this problem with their Sheer Defence mineral sunscreen or the tinted sunscreen. Why is Invisible Zinc Sport labelled 'low irritant' when people have said the same thing (i.e. burning stinging, swelling) about the other-now discontinued-Invisible Zinc product. Invisible Zinc..... please review the ingredients common to this product and your other discontinued product which had similar reviews on this website for the sake of public safety and the children who use it.

Washed my face yesterday after it started going red and was stinging. Woke up this morning both eyes are even more swollen. My face looks like it's been stung by a bee.
