Full Review & Insights ▼

This sunscreen applicator offers a dual-layered solution to common sunscreen hassles. The roller ball dispenses sunscreen smoothly, while the soft sponge spreads it evenly, helping avoid sticky hands or uneven coverage. It's sized to hold 55 ml (1.9 fl oz), which is enough for multiple uses while remaining compact for bags or travel kits.


The BPA-free plastic construction feels lightweight yet durable. An attached strap and carabiner enhance portability, especially useful for beach bags or strollers. While the applicator works well with most fluid lotions, it struggles with thicker mineral-based sunscreens, which can clog the small opening and complicate cleaning. This limitation affects versatility and long-term hygiene unless used consistently and cleaned thoroughly.


An extra sponge is included, extending its usability, and the twist-off cap ensures secure storage. However, some concerns include the roller occasionally sticking, sponge displacement during application, and the challenge of refilling due to the small fill port. Despite these issues, the applicator succeeds in making sunscreen application easier for kids and caregivers alike.

Our Take on the Product

The KYHDIYA Sunscreen Applicator is an effective tool for families who value convenience and hygiene during sun care routines. Its roll-on and sponge combo works well with lightweight lotions and makes application easy for kids. It's especially beneficial for travel and daily outdoor activities. 


However, its narrow opening and sensitivity to product thickness limit compatibility with some creams. Those using thicker or mineral-based sunscreens may prefer a broader design. 

For general sun lotion use, this compact and refillable applicator offers a smart, fuss-free alternative to tubes and sprays.

Gadgifyr Score

A practical and reusable solution designed to ensure a cleaner, more hygienic application of sunscreen, especially effective when used with lighter, thinner lotion formulas.
