Is this water resistant? How often do you need to reapply?

Yes, it is very water resistant. After many hours in the water, the water would still bead up on our skin where we applied the product. I am usually fanatical about reapplying every few hours when we are in the water, but we would only reapply this mid-day, and I'm not sure we needed to do that.

It does not say on the bottle and what I have noticed when using is that it does come off in water. It does do a good job of protecting from the daily sun and I do like this product, but I feel like I have to double up with a water resistant sunscreen if I'm going in the pool.

The product has been very water resistant. I live in Florida and wear this if I am going to be out in the sun playing golf or tennis and I never have to re-apply. Sometimes I have trouble washing it off. I can't comment on what happens with extended periods in the water.

Once a day was enough for me - 15-20 min before going to the beach (Mexico). I was at the beach from 8 am-12 pm. Yes, it is water resistant - I like to have long swims. The lotion is thick but I didn't have problems to apply it. You will be kind of whitish for the first 5-10 min then it will go away. I would re-apply lotion after swimming only to the neck and face. I like how the bottle turns blue under sun almost immediately as a reminder that you need to have a sunblock :) I have very sensitive skin and didn't have any problems with Blue Lizard

Yes it is somewhat resistant. You can see the water bead up on the skin. I would still reapply every hour or so during the hottest part of the day if you are in the water.

I put it on 1/2 hour before getting into the pool and did not reapply it after swimming and it worked.

like every lotion it eventually wears off, it has good staying power but sweat will do it in quicker than water, I have only used it once a day for a five hour period and no red skin

I'm pretty bad about reapplying but the bottle turns blue in the sun (hence "blue" lizard) and that is when you're supposed to reapply. I'm almost positive this is water resistant. It's a pretty thick sunblock compared to a spray SPF for example. I have very fair skin and used this to protect me from the Cabo San Lucas sun rays and it did the job. Recommended by my dermatologist, too so I'd say it's a good choice.

The bottle says to reapply every 2 hours. It does not specifically say that it is water resistant, but from our experience, it is. Does a great job!

I have been using it for 2 years now and reapply mid day when I am out all day in the sun or more if I spend a lot of time in the water! It's a wonderful product and the only one that does not break out my skin in red bumps!

This last for long time and resist the rain. Maybe every 6 month you need to reapply in some places.

I'd say it's resistant but not water proof. I've taken it out in the pouring rain and everything inside has stayed dry, but I'd be afraid to drench it just in case.

You should definitely reapply every 2 hours, more frequently if you are wet/sweating/toweling off. The tube says it will last for 80 minutes.

It is water resistant once dry, but with repeated exposures it will wear off and dissolve.

Yes, You just have to wet the window again and reapply. Just make sure that it is clean before removing it and still clean when you put it back on.

You can reapply..I have had mine for a couple of years and have reused them. I will probably replace them after this year and buy somemore....

I've had mine out prospecting in the rain several times and it seems to repel water pretty well. Over time, I'll just spray some Scotch Guard on it to maintain it's repellency if needed.

When I first got it I tested the water resistance and yes it worked to keep water out but the problem is it is very fragile so if you drop it once...chances are it won't be water proof anymore

Depending on rain, I usually reapply once every two months. But it depends on your neighborhood, rainfall, etc. I do add Gordon's Spreader Sticker to the bottle (one tablespoon) to help it adhere and stay water fast longer. This is part of my every two to three month regimen of spraying my foundation about two feet up on the wall and two feet into the lawn and landscape. Bugs can't crawl into your home that way and you don't have to worry about spraying chemicals on the inside. It's also great to spray generously around garage door openings, window sills, etc where you don't want easy access for insects. Depending on rain, I usually reapply once every two months.

It does not say on the bottle that it is water resistant. It does say to use a water resistant sunscreen if swimming or sweating. That said, my kids wear it when swimming and have never burned. It is a thick lotion. I usually do not even have to reapply. It is the best sunscreen I have used.

You will have to reapply after each washing. All it does is repels moisture and keeps the item from staining.

Water-resistant; yes. Water beads up and rolls off nicely. Waterproof; no. I would not leave water standing on it nor let it get soaked.

No, I don't think it makes it water resistant, just conditions and protects the wood as you continue to use it. It's a process you have to repeat regularly.

Water resistant is probably the right term. The less exposure to water, the longer it lasts, of course. Daily showers are no problem. I swim for an hour with it. I can get about 5 days out of it before it gets too scruffy-looking. Got 6 days once when I didn't swim.DO NOT DRY IT with a blow dryer or you will get a burn on your skin from the adhesive! That's a big warning. Just let it air dry.

It's certainly water resistant, albiet not waterproof. It usually last me multiple days (3+) - I just try not to get it super wet if possible. Pat the water off after you shower and let air dry completely before covering with clothing. It also lasts longer if you shave the area before application.
