We received travel-sized samples of KINeSYS at ThisNext awhile ago. I'd never had an occassion to put it to the test until last weekend when I went to blazing hot Palm Springs.

I had thrown a few different travel sized products in my bag: two different sprays (one a non-fragrance) and also a travel-sized stick of sunblock for the areas of the face.

When I pulled them out for my friends to look at one of them started freaking out about how cool it was that it had Parasol 1789 in it. She says that she never burns when she uses sun screen with this ingredient.

Researchers at Penn's Department of Dermatology and other universities have found that the addition of PARSOL 1789 -- a patented UVA filter recently approved by the Food and Drug Administration -- to sun-screen products may protect the skin against the full spectrum of those damaging UVA rays.

Whatever it was, it worked. KINeSYS didn't drip in my eyes, didn't leave a sticky dirty feeling when it dried and best of all, didn't give me a sunburn!

I strongly recommend the travel size because days later I was in my car and stuck in traffic and felt one half of my body getting a reluctant tan through my car window. Having worked so hard in Palm Springs I wasn't about to get car-tan so I grabbed the bottle out of the purse and gave myself a few quick squirts and all was right with the world, I mean my tan, again.
