Texture and Absorption

Pros:

  • "The texture is almost like a whipped lotion and it soaks into the skin easily."
  • "It's much smoother than aloe vera, not tacky at all, and helps to soothe the burned skin."
  • "It absorbed really quick into the skin."
  • "This cool down lotion absorbs pretty quickly and is not greasy."
  • "It sinks into your skin very well. It doesn't just sit on top of your skin like other lotions."
  • "It rubs in well and a little goes a long way."
  • "It feels like a normal lotion and rubs well into the skin."

Cons:

  • "This lotion is not what I was expecting at all. It doesn't provide any cooling or relief after being in the sun."
  • "The texture is thin for my preference, and I required multiple applications for my skin to feel thoroughly moisturized."
  • "It was very very watery and didn’t provide much moisturizing."
  • "More like milk and than lotion, very runny!! Smells amazing but makes a huge mess as it pours out of the bottle and drips as you try to rub it in."
  • "Just an fyi the consistency is a little thin and runny."
  • "The product is more liquidy, has a graininess to it, and clogs in the cap--none of which happened with prior orders."
  • "I love this product but I have noticed all the times I've ordered it the consistency isn't always the same. Sometimes it nice and thick and once it was very watery."

Scent

Pros:

  • "I love the smell and quality of the product but I just got this package today and it was looking like that."
  • "It's amazing! I have never peeled, it moisturizes, smells great, and I can see the results of my tan."
  • "This stuff is *terrific* and it smells *amazing*."
  • "I think it smells pretty good, like sunscreen or something."
  • "It smells nice and tropical."
  • "The scent is pleasant and light."
  • "This lotion smells so good! Reminds me of the beach."

Cons:

  • "NO SMELL AT ALL... not a full bottle and would leave no star if it were an option."
  • "not sure if I received a faulty bottle or not but lotion leaked all over AND it smells identical to playdough."
  • "The coconut-y scent is pleasant at first but it’s kind of heavy, and when you need to reapply it gets stronger."
  • "It also didn't have the traditional sun bum smell. It smelled like cocoa butter, which has a nutty smell."
  • "The smell was a little rancid, and the texture was lumpy."
  • "The cocoa fragrance is also overwhelming."
  • "Does have a cooling effect but I couldn’t stand the smell."

Moisturizing Effect

Pros:

  • "Even on one of the worst sun burns I've had, the lotion feels great as soon as it touches the skin and minimizes peeling and pain."
  • "This lotion moisturizes well after the sun and smells good. It absorbs well and is not greasy."
  • "Cools you down and keeps your skin extra moisturized."
  • "I love this lotion. It is super moisturizing and the scent is great!"
  • "Really works. While on vacation we got too much sun but we used this lotion and it soothes and cools down the burn. No peeling either."
  • "It feels nice on the skin, absorbs well, has a nice cooling effect from the aloe."
  • "Nothing feels so good on your skin after a day in the sun, burns or no burns. Not to mention it smells like a dream."

Cons:

  • "This particular lotion didn’t help with moisturizer, had to keep replying, nor did it absorb well."
  • "It was only 3/4 full."
  • "It moisturizes *seemingly* ok enough, but then the cosmetic alcohol in it dries you out after a bit, so you’ll need to keep re-applying more & more."
  • "It was very very watery and didn’t provide much moisturizing."
  • "This one wasn’t very moisturizing, and the smell lacked tremendously."
  • "After a sunburn I ordered this to help prevent peeling and hopefully get some cooling relief. It didn’t work too well with keeping my tan longer."
  • "I don't think it did that much to heal my sunburn or preserve my tan, but it did smell good and make my skin soft and comfortable."

Packaging and Quantity

Pros:

  • "Amazon is by far the best place to get Sun Bum at. Not only does Amazon sell larger bottles and a wider variety but it is also almost always the best price."
  • "The product arrived on time & in perfect condition."
  • "The item, the price, & the shipping were all excellent & just as described!!!!"
  • "Review updated for good customer service."

Cons:

  • "I love sunbum products, so it was a huge let down when the bottle of Cool Down Lotion wasn’t even full when I received it."
  • "It feel like scam, the bottle is almost half with product."
  • "The bottle wasn’t filled enough."
  • "The bottle I received seems to be only partially full. Looks like A LOT of product is gone."
  • "Just received my cool down today and was surprised to see that the product does not fill the bottle."
  • "But when I received it in the mail today, the bottle was not full. There was about 1 1/2 inches of product not in the bottle."
  • "Like the other reviewers said, this product came half empty."
