i agree with the other comments posted. the quiz wasn,t adequately specific and in particular failed to take into account factors such as age, sex and the type of climate where one resides. i was not impressed at all i'm no better position in terms of knowledge regarding what spf is good for me.

This quiz was horrid. It doesn't even tell you the difference between different sunscreen types. Waste of time.

I completely agree with the other comments. It does not take into question the AGE FACTOR. Nor does it take into account where you live and the strenght of the sun. Further, what about the difference between face and body products You are usually SOOO MUCH BETTER. REALLY.

Disappointing. Not enough information for my specific skin type. Also, nothing about age was taken into consideration. I think that is very important, as well as the area of the country you live in, for example the South vs. the Northeast? Florida vs. Canada? I did not learn anything I did not already know.

The results were supposed to be specific to my skin type and life style. It wasn't! It was pretty generic, with the exception of telling me to use a 'lotion.'
