How do formats compare?

What should I check on the label?
Review the active ingredients, SPF and any water-resistance claim before deciding. Compare the label and consult a qualified professional about your needs.
Do higher-priced sunscreens work better?
Price often reflects format, volume and formulation choices, not effectiveness alone. Compare labels and choose based on how you will use it.
