The overall score is owner satisfaction weighted by how many reviews back it, so a high rating from few reviews counts for less. The bars below show where this model stands against the other women's everyday face care: moisturizers, face mists, facial kits, rollers, cleansing brushes and steamers we track in this category on price, popularity and size. Context, not marks against it, and our read of the data, not a lab test.
Overview
Thankyou Farmer's Sun Project Water Sun Cream is built around a watery, lightweight texture that the brand designed to feel more like a hydrating step than a heavy sunscreen layer. It's rated SPF 50 and made for all, combination, dry, and normal skin types, with a phthalate free formula and no added scent.
Because it skips water resistance, this cream is better suited to daily indoor to outdoor wear, like a commute or a walk, rather than a day at the pool or beach. The lightweight consistency is meant to absorb quickly, which can be a plus for anyone who finds heavier SPF creams sit too long on the skin before they set.
At 4.6 stars, the ratings so far are strongly positive, though the review count of a little over 600 is still modest, and the current bought last month figure is low. That combination suggests a smaller but appreciative group of buyers rather than a high volume bestseller.
Pros
- SPF 50 protection in a lightweight, watery texture
- Phthalate free, unscented formula
- Suits all, combination, dry, and normal skin types
- 4.6 star average rating
Cons
- Not rated water resistant, so it's not ideal for swimming or heavy sweat
- Smaller review count compared to more established SPF 50 creams
- Priced higher than many mass market facial sunscreens
Performance notes
A watery, lightweight cream format is meant to absorb faster than a thicker lotion, which can make daily reapplication feel less like a chore. Since the formula is not water resistant, it's best suited to everyday wear where sweat and water contact are limited, and it should be reapplied more often if you're outdoors for an extended stretch.
What buyers say
A 4.6 star average is a strong result, and it holds steady across the reviews on record. The total number of ratings and the current monthly purchase count are both on the modest side, which points to a product with a smaller but satisfied following rather than a runaway bestseller.
