Summer = outdoor activities = the need for SPF. As any parent can testify, kids are a bundle of energy, and burning their energy will involve amusement parks, swimming pools, and parks; which all come with endless sun exposure. This summer, in an effort to combat skin damage from the sun, I purchased NO-AD skincare Prevent and Brighten Anti Aging moisturizer with SPF 15, as one of my tools from my myriad collection of UVA/UVB protection.

All skin types.
REPURCHASE:
Maybe. I am still searching for the perfect body moisturizer with SPF. If I find a better one by next summer then obviously no but if I don’t them I would have to resurrect this for protection.
RATING: 4/5
Pro
While testing this product, it left my skin moisturized for at least 24 hours
No white residue
It is not greasy
Some moisturizer leaves your skin sticky and sweaty after a couple of minutes this does not. It’s awesome for humid climates.
It absorbs almost immediately into the skin
It provides broad spectrum protection
It helped maintain my skin tone
Cons:
After my testing period, I did not notice drastic brightening of my skin.
There are a few parabens in this formula similar to those found in drugstore brands like Dove so if you would rather use a paraben free product; then this is not for you.
