Brush Block Sunscreen Protection Phthalates Reviews Summary

Ease of Use

Pros:

• "I highly recommend this for ease of use and good coverage."
• "Love this stuff! You don't need to mess up your make up to put sunscreen on."
• "I love this brush on sunscreen. Easy to apply. Easy to carry with you."
• "I used this on top of a base sunscreen and reapplied throughout the day as needed. It’s slightly bigger than a lipstick and super convenient. I did not burn and was very happy with this product."
• "It's super easy to tap out the powder and apply (and reapply)."
• "It is easy to apply and is not greasy like regular sunscreen."
• "This is the best facial sunscreen for oily and sensitive skin. It is also great as a traveling powder brush."

Cons:

• "The one thing I don't like is that it is extremely difficult to get the brush back into the cap without damaging it."
• "Product packaging is no bueno. The brush sleeve came off within a week."
• "The product is difficult to open to begin with."
• "After awhile the cylinder around the brush doesn’t retract all the way unless you push down hard, then it is hard to pull it back up again when you go to use it."
• "If you rotate it TOO much to 'open', it will come apart and you'll end up with powder all over the floor."
• "The cap unscrews easily and the powder just spilled."
• "The bottom compartment holding the powder broke off in my bag."

Product Effectiveness

Pros:

• "The powder did not look pasty and blended well with my skin color."
• "It has a bit of a glowey finish but that's alright in the summer."
• "It seems to work well and it's easy to apply to ears and scalp if necessary."
• "It feels great on my skin. I don't get burned. It's the best."
• "NO BURN at all."
• "I sweat buckets that day in Universal and it still worked."
• "This stuff is amazing! Lightweight, practically invisible on my skin, and so far has been great sun protection!"

Cons:

• "I like the idea of this but I found that when using it my eyes became incredibly itchy and red from the product falling from my forehead into my eyes."
• "I like the idea of this product and it seems to work but it really makes your skin itchy so half the time I feel like I end up scratching off the product."
• "I applied the product across my face and shoulders as directed. The product definitely came out because there was a lot of powder in the air, but I still got (very) burned."
• "The kids and I both got burned so bad we were blistered. Even with multiple applications."
• "But, this product after an hour and a half of use in Springtime sunshine and clouds, did not work well. And I'm sure I overapplied it because it is truly almost translucent (just like it claims to be). But, I did burn on my shoulders, neck, and upper cheeks."
• "I still got a significant amount of sun on my nose while this was applied liberally."
• "Didn’t seem to offer enough protection and my face got a little red."

Product Design and Quality

Pros:

• "The Brush On Block pricing is similar to DermaE, but it is a translucent formula."
• "Excellent brush on powder/foundation/sunscreen. It is totally retractable."
• "Compact size, fits nicely in purse."
• "I love that they have the eco-refills and I find it easy to maintain."
• "I also like that it locks to stop the flow of powder (and possibly preserve or keep the product fresh)."
• "It's compact, lightweight and easy to use."
• "You can even use it on the part of your hair without messing up your hair."

Cons:

• "Nothing would ever come out so I kept putting it aside."
• "I haven’t even been able to use this because this doesn’t work. None of it will come out onto the brush at all."
• "The powder is so orange that I can't wear it. Oomph loompa orange."
• "I would not recommend this product."
• "There have been times powder does leak out."
• "The company replaced the product for free and I’ve had no further issues."
• "I spent way too much on this stuff only to have to buy another brush just to be able to use this."
