All sunscreens are not the same. Even those listing the same degree of Sun Protection Factor (SPF) are not the same. Even those saying they provide a high percentage of both UVA and UVB protection are not the same.

I don't like this on my face. I'm sure it works well on other areas, and "oh god" if you get it in your eyes, but don't buy this if you want a sunblock for your face unless you want to feel like you've rubbed a mcdonalds hamburger all over you.
