No. 3: Philosophy A Pigment Of Your Imagination SPF 18, $30
TotalBeauty.com average member rating: 5.5*
Why: Although this claims to fade sun spots, readers say "I didn't really notice any kind of difference in my skin." They also didn't like the "thick and sticky" formula and hue, which "turns my skin yellowish and made me look like I was sick," one reader says.

The Shiseido sunscreen feels very nice on the screen and has a high spf.

Handy sunblock list, but my favorite isn't even available for review on this website!

I've used the banana boat clear mist several times and it worked just fine for me! Also, where is neutrogena on the best list?

I hated the Clinique, loved Shiseido. This list should be updated because it's so important!

Not a fan of aerosal sunscreens, just don't feel like I get enough coverage.
