Review 1 for Performance Remedy™ Oil-Free Sun Guard SPF 45
godzilla
Absolute Amazeballs!!
-05.18.13
So forget the fact that this is supposed to be for "men" only because this is my favorite sunscreen ever. It doesn't have that god awful smell that most typical sunscreens do so you don't reek of chemicals all day long. This product has more of a fresh scent to it.
But my favorite part of sunscreen is that it goes on just like a regular lotion and has no greasy residue. Nor does it have powdery feeling of the non-greasy drugstore brands that just add talc powder into their sunscreen to absorb the grease. I originally got this as a sample and have been a fan of it ever since.

Review 2 for Performance Remedy™ Oil-Free Sun Guard SPF 45
Perfect sunscreen for sensitive acne-prone skin
-04.07.13
Quick Take: non-greasy, blends in easily
Great effective sunscreen for guys and gals. I apply this every day... it does start out white, but it absorbs quickly without leaving a white cast. It doesn't aggravate my skin... it's very gentle and I even apply it around my eyes without any problems and I have incredibly irritable chronic dry eyes which makes me love this sunscreen even more!
Tip for the ladies: Since I apply this after all my other products, I will mix it with my liquid foundation (just a dab) when I need some coverage and it works like a tinted moisturizer/BB cream, evening out my skintone: I just make sure I rub it in well including my neck and it looks really natural.
Also it doesn't control my oily skin so I do have to layer on oil-controlling/absorbing products to keep my oiliness in line BUT it DOESN'T make my skin MORE oily...or break my skin out.
Overall...best sunscreen I've come across... esp. at this price point. Definitely try it!

Review 4 for Performance Remedy™ Oil-Free Sun Guard SPF 45
No guy would complain about this!
-05.25.12
Quick Take: light, non-greasy, organic, scent-free
I was on the hunt for a light, scent-free and non-greasy sunscreen for my husband. He has combination/oily skin and as a guy, hates sunscreen that shows!
This sunscreen is perfect- its light, scent-free, and doesn't make you greasy or white, and a little goes a long way.
The price is the icing on the cake, and the cherry on top, is that it's made of organic ingredients, which means that rather than carrying 3 sunscreens, I carry this in my infants diaper bag- for on-the-go use, I use it, my husband uses it and I don't hesitate to put it on my son.

Review 5 for Performance Remedy™ Oil-Free Sun Guard SPF 45
Another fabulous Jack Black product
-03.22.12
Quick Take: effective
This is the best sunscreen I have ever used. It goes on thick but doesn't take forever to rub in. It is "very water resistant" so I didn't have to keep reapplying it. I love it!

Review 6 for Performance Remedy™ Oil-Free Sun Guard SPF 45

Quick Take: it feels a bit heavy to me
This product is pretty good. It does definitely keep the sun from burning and although it goes on very white; the color does get absorbed quickly. I have purchased it several times.

Quick Take: sunscreen lotion
I wear sunscreen everyday and I just wanted something not too fancy and easy to put on, but this one definitely makes my face white until i rub it around for a while, which isnt a big deal but i thought maybe next time I should just get a cheaper one at a drug store or something....

Review 10 for Performance Remedy™ Oil-Free Sun Guard SPF 45
Great daily sunscreen
-08.09.11
Yeah, it's suppose to be for guys, but I like it anyway. I use this sunscreen on my face and neck daily. It goes on easy over my acne regimen and blends easy too. It does have a little white cast to it, so you may need to blend it a bit. It does fine if you use foundation. I haven't had the guts to try it on my sensitive eye area yet. If it does work there, I'll love it even more.
No breakouts, high SPF, lots of vitamins, and the price isn't bad - yup, 5 stars!

Review 11 for Performance Remedy™ Oil-Free Sun Guard SPF 45
Five-Plus stars!
-07.12.11
Quick Take: cooling, soothing, long-lasting
OK, so I went into the "guys" products to find a good sunscreen and it was SO worth it! I'd highly recommend this as a unisex product. It just got put to a serious test- I work in the sun a lot and just spent 3 days straight working in salt water and blazing sun, 12 hours a day. I was VERY impressed by how non-greasy this sunscreen is and by how effective it turned out to be. My skin should be crispy by now but after the abuse of that work streak, all I have is a light tan and smooth skin. It stayed on very well even when I was getting wave-soaked, and didn't run into my eyes (especially nice because I wear contacts!). It also did not leave greasy streaks on my clothes. The scent is so light, you won't smell like one of those "umbrella drinks" when you wear it. VERY impressed with this product, and a tube of it will always be in my boat bag!!

Review 12 for Performance Remedy™ Oil-Free Sun Guard SPF 45
keeps me matte!
-07.08.11
i never write reviews but i was SO impressed with this sunscreen i had to tell everyone. i usually run into a problem when i wear moisturizers or sunscreens on hot days. as soon as i sweat a little, my face will just get super slimy. gross. with this jack black sunscreen, my skin stays matte even when i sweat. i am blown away! i tried a ton of $30+ sunscreens and they all made me slimy. i can't believe the most economical option worked best for my skin-- when does that ever happen?! TRY THIS SUNSCREEN NOW!

Review 13 for Performance Remedy™ Oil-Free Sun Guard SPF 45
Absorbs easily, non oily
-06.18.11
Quick Take: cooling, soothing, scented
This product rather surprised me. I've been using more expensive spf's before and wanted to try something more moisturising. This one is excellent - it doesn't dry the skin but hydrates it nicely. It does leave a white screen after the apprication, but it absorbs in 2-5 minutes. Can be applied with makeup too.

Review 14 for Performance Remedy™ Oil-Free Sun Guard SPF 45
Great skin care line for men AND women!
-09.06.10
Quick Take: non greasy, does not clog pores, will appeal to your man/ male friends
My husband uses this and loves it. It is a true to its word product and with his sensitive break out prone skin it has been so great! I have noticed less blemishes on his skin after using this. Its also non greasy and great high spf factor for all the qualities it offers. If you cannot get your husband to use sunscreen, try this and I think you will have success. Ps I also tried it out and I love it for my combo sensitive skin, just because its a Jack Black product does not mean it does not work for women also!

Review 15 for Performance Remedy™ Oil-Free Sun Guard SPF 45
-07.08.10
Absolutely wonderful. I have incredibly sensitive skin and I don't like going out in the sun too much when I do I get burned off the bat and pretty badly too. I tried other sunblocks but they're all too heavy feeling or scented. This one is perfect not too heavy not too strong of a scent. I felt funny at first being female buying something I suppose was more intended for guys. However, I'm happy I took the chance just like the jack black lip balms!

I bought this sunscreen for my husband. He won't wear other sunscreens because they cause breakouts. He now wears this sunscreen everyday! Sucess! He says it's great; hasn't had a breakout since he started using it. It's fragrance free; a huge plus for guys that don't want to "smell like a banana". He frequently works outside, and has not had a problem with the sunscreen running into his eyes. Definitely recommend this sunscreen. It's great.

Review 17 for Performance Remedy™ Oil-Free Sun Guard SPF 45
Husband loves it!
-06.28.10
Quick Take: soothing
My husband doesn't like the greasy feel of sunscreen, especially on his face. I bought him the dry type from neutrogena which he claimed made his skin break out. I decided to splurge and get him some "quality stuff". This product is a winner. He loves it and no break outs. He is happy, therefore, I am happy.

Review 18 for Performance Remedy™ Oil-Free Sun Guard SPF 45
Love this sunscreen
-06.05.10
As a woman, I love this sunscreen for my face. I use to use a European cosmetic brand for years that I would get in Italy when I visited family. This product works just like it.
Love that it is paraben free, has Vitamin C, etc. Goes well under makeup.
It does go on a little on the white side, but it fades pretty fast. Only issue I have with it is that I cannot put it too close to my eyes because as the day progresses at some point my eyes start to burn. I realize it's "creeping" toward my eyes. So I don't put it under my eyes or on my brow bone. I'll have to find something else for that, but overall it's great.
I bought a tube for my brother who is out in the sun a lot, so got a guy's opinion. He's doesn't use much in the "fancy" men's grooming products, and even he likes it.

Review 20 for Performance Remedy™ Oil-Free Sun Guard SPF 45
Great sun protection...
-03.18.10
I've been bringing home skincare products for my husband to try and almost bought the Jack Black sun guard with SPF 20 when I saw this new formula with an SPF of 45. So I bought this one with the SPF 45 and asked him to try it to see how it felt on his skin. He really liked the way it isn't greasy feeling and the texture makes it easy to apply and absorb quickly. I would like him to wear sun protection every day, but at least he has promised to wear this while outdoors mowing, playing golf, etc. I'm happy to have found a product that he will wear to protect his skin from the sun. He usually wouldn't wear any type of sun lotion because he said he didn't want to smell like a coconut, but this has a pleasant very subtle smell that doesn't bother him at all.
