i have found that the coppertone sport takes 3 soapings in the shower to wash off and my clothes smell like sunblock for months after.i mentioned to my dermatologist that every sunblock i use (no matter how far away from the eyes i apply) eventually makes its way into my eyes causing irritation. he recommended Anthelios (with Mexoryl) - Brand L SPF 60. Just approved by the FDA and has been used in europe for years. since then, i've been reading a lot about it in different magazines. it's supposed to provided better protection than anything on the market.regarding eye irritation or how well it stays on, i haven't been out biking or running this spring. i'll let you know if it does or doesn't irritate my eyes (i don't think it will. i've been with my dermatologist for years and he's never steered me wrong).

I have a real problem with sunscreen burning my eyes - can really ruin a round of golf or the drive home!I did find a sunscreen that seemed to work much better. I think it's a generic version of the coppertone as the bottle looks very similar. I'll have to find it and take a look for the name (winter here, so don't need it right now and it's buried in my golf bag), but it is from either Lawton's Drugs or Shopper's Drug Mart (in Atlantic Canada)
