Readers Review: Wet Skin Kids Sunblock

Name: Julie-anne Bennett

Review: My name is Julie-anne &  I reviewed this product on my 9 year old niece over the weekend as the weather was superb. Firstly I found that when you sprayed it on it came out evenly, I was at the beginning holding the can a bit close to the skin which was making white patches but when you spray from the distance recommend it definitely does the trick. I like it because you can turn the can upside down and use it also, so it is good for covering the back of the legs and arms, and I found that you can even do the back of your neck with ease.

It had a pleasant smell almost like a citrus smell which is a nice change from the usual chemical smell & it wasn’t greasy at all. My niece enjoyed using this product because it was something she could use herself and I noticed that when she got out of the pool she would reapply without having to be told as she quite liked spraying it all over the place & she like the idea of not having to dry off before applying it which meant she had more time for playing in the pool, definitely a bonus for them to be able to apply themselves, so I would definitely recommend people buy this product for your kids.

Review: I’m Samantha and my children are Trent (12) and Quinn (9). We were excited to be chosen to review Neutrogena Wet Skin sunblock spray but we didn’t think it would work. Even if it sprayed on OK on wet skin I had the feeling it would wash off as soon as we got back into the water.

The first thing was to do a patch test. Quinn and I both suffer from eczema and we’re allergic to a lot of sunblocks. We sprayed a small amount onto our forearms, rubbed it in and left it overnight. No reaction – cool!

We decided to try it on one dry arm and one wet arm each to see the difference between the two.

The sunblock spray smells really nice and fresh but not overpowering. Another plus. You can feel it still on your skin when you rub it in but it’s not greasy. And, amazingly, once we applied it to a wet arm and then rinsed the arm under the tap, it didn’t come off!

Trent and Quinn are old enough to know the importance of reapplying sunscreen on a regular basis and don’t make a fuss about it. I think this product is aimed at younger children with less patience but it was so easy to apply that we’ll definitely be using it this summer.

Review: My name is Charlotte and I have two sons aged 9 and 6. I found this product really easy to use, and the kids gave it their seal of approval too! We all really like the citrus fragrance, and the locking lid and size of the bottle are great for when you’re on the go.

It works equally well on wet or dry skin and doesn’t drip or whiten when applied. It also doesn’t make your skin feel greasy or sticky like other sunblock products can. Being a busy Mum, it’s great to be able to reapply sunblock between swims without having to dry the kids off first which makes it so much easier to keep them protected from the sun. I would recommend this product to others and it will be a must in the swimming bag for us this summer!

Review: First impression was a nice subtle scent not to over powering and it was great to use a spray on Sunscreen so much easier and no complaints from my son. As the

Spray absorbed so quickly, no heavy creamy feeling that he always complains about, no having to wait till he was dry which was very convenient .I also noticed that after a day in the sun there was absolutely no tan line whatsoever on him which was very impressive as he normally burns very easily being paled skin.

Sienna didn’t spend a day in the sun but did spray some on after the shower, once again no heavy creamy drippy substance just an easy light application and she was done with no reaction at all. 

Overall I would give this product a 10/10 and would definitely recommend this product in the future. Just made life so much easier no stress, no fuss from the kids. Will be putting this  on my list to buy this summer that’s for sure.

Neutrogena Wet Skin for Kids  and the beach and pool is definitely the way to go!

Name: Rebecca Margetts

Review: My name is Rebecca and I am the mother of two active girls aged 10 & 13.

This weekend, Neutrogena Wet Skin got a great work out as we were away on a camping holiday with friends. There were 7 children were aged from 8 to 14.

The weather was wonderful on Sunday and after months being covered up, all the kids were keen to don their swimsuits and hit the beach. They spent the whole day in and out of the water.

Reapplying sunscreen, which kids do not like as it takes up valuable playing time, was a breeze. Rather than going to their own mothers standing there with tubes, they all queued up in front of me to be “sprayed” as it was a lot quicker and they could get back in the water faster!

I will definitely continue to use Wet Skin Neutrogena for its ease and coverage

Review: I’m Tessa and I have a 4 year old boy, Oliver and a 22 month old girl, Paige. We received the Neutrogena Wet Skin Sunblock for kids about 10 days ago and we were excited to try it out! The next day the kids showered in the morning, so we sprayed it straight on.

First thing I noticed was how different it smelled to normal sunscreen! It has a faint citrus smell which we all really enjoyed. The Neutrogena Wet Skin sprayed on easily and didn’t just sit on top of the water but seem to blend in with it and there was no big white drips running down their arms and legs.

Was such a nice suprise to see how well it really worked. I found this much easier than rubbing my kids from head to toe with sunscreen and having them fight me. This is definitely our new favourite. Thanks 24/7 Girl for this awesome trial. Cant wait for the beach now, bring on summer

Review: What a great product, not only did I use it on the kids while they were playing in the water - with ease as it was quick and they did not have to stop what they were doing to be really lathered up.

But I also used it on my husband while he was outside putting in some hard work and even though he was sweating it went on easy and he also commented that it was nice and cool.

I would recommend this product to all as not only can you put it on wet kids but you can also put it on with quick precision and you don’t have to try and keep the kids still for too long.

Name: Amy Rhind

Review: I am Amy, I’m a stay at home mum from Taupo.  I have two wonderful children Ella aged 5 and Fabian aged 3.  We tried the Neutrogena Wet Skin Sunblock the day it arrived when the kids had a bath (as its too cold for swimming in the lake just yet!),  I found that the product stayed on skin for about an hour even after the kids had put it on and had been in the bath for 20mins.  You could tell it was on skin as it has a glossy shine.

I didnt really like the smell as it was applied but once on the skin it has a lovely fresh, fuity smell to it.  Having it in a spray can makes it so easy to apply, I do wonder though how hot the can will get at the beach etc, in summer and care will need to be taken to keep the can out of the sun.
I would reccommend this product to every mum I know, its a real piece of mind to know that your kids have sun protection in and out of the water.

Review: Auckland hasn’t seen all that much sun in the last few weeks but we have a spa in the garden with natural thermal hot water so the kids spend a lot of time in the water. I haven’t found a sunscreen that is easy to apply and non greasy for them until now!

Name: Charlotte Kofoed

Review: I’m Charlotte, mother of 10 year old Gabriel.  On trying Neutrogena ‘Wet
Skin’ I found:

• It had a pleasant smell.

• Gabriel and his friend Phoenix didn’t mind me applying it to them (usually the squirm and complain as they dislike the greasy feel of sunscreen). They even applied some themselves.

• The lid opened and closed easily, so that there wasn’t any risk of it leaking in my bag.  This is an especially good feature when the product may be taken in a school bag.  I’ve had bad experiences with spilt sunscreen in the past!

• Wet Skin sprayed visibly onto wet and dry skin, (so no skin was missed) but then disappeared on the skin, leaving no greasy residue or drips.  Other sunscreens tend to be quite greasy on wet skin and leave a white residue which doesn’t look great in photos.

I would recommend this product to others to use on children and themselves as definitely protected us from the sun and was easier and more pleasant to use than other sunscreens.  I will use it in future.
