The story behind the major motion picture from Disney--starring Chris Pine, Eric Bana, and Casey Affleck--written by a recognized master of the genre--"a blockbuster account of tragedy at sea" (The Providence Journal).

It's the winter of 1952 and a ferocious Nor'easter is pounding New England with howling winds and seventy-foot seas. Two oil tankers get caught in the violent storm off Cape Cod, its fury splitting the massive ships in two. Back on shore are four young Coast Guardsmen who are given a suicide mission. They must save the lives of the seamen left stranded in the killer storm, and they have to do it in a tiny lifeboat. The crew is led by Bernie Webber, who has to rely on prayer and the courage of his three crewmembers to pull off the impossible. As Webber and his crew sail into the teeth of the storm, each man comes to the realization that he may not come back alive. They've lost all navigation and have no idea where the stranded seaman are, and have no idea how to get back home. Whether by sheer luck or divine intervention, the crew stumbles upon the wounded ship in the darkness. More than thirty men appear at the railings of the SS Pendleton, all hoping to be saved. Once again, Webber and his crew face a daunting challenge. How can they rescue all these men with their tiny lifeboat?

Dripping with suspense and high-stakes human drama, The Finest Hours has incredible and astonishing true-to-life heroism and action-packed rescue scenes. This "marvelous and terrifying yarn" (Los Angeles Times) "deserves a place as a classic of survival at sea" (The Boston Globe).

Decent face moisturizer with SPF
Huron’s SPF 30 Face Moisturizer offers a refreshing experience for daily sun protection. Unlike many other SPF products, this moisturizer does not have that overly strong "sunblock" smell, making it pleasant to use throughout the day. It's there, but it does not dominate the lotion when applied. Application goes on smoothly and absorbs quickly without leaving any sticky or streaky residue behind. One of the standout features is how it avoids that common greasy feeling often associated with sunblock. Instead, it leaves your face feeling naturally soft and well-moisturized. Ideal for anyone looking for effective moisturizer with sun protection. Highly recommended for those who want a non-oily, fast-absorbing solution for their daily skincare routine. I have previously tried Anthony Day Cream with SPF 30 and would rate this product in the same league.

Worth the price
Scent: Face Wash, Size: 5.1 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
Although I was hesitant to buy this at first since it’s about twice the price as the facial cleansers I normally use, it’s by far the best face wash I’ve ever used. It exfoliates the skin very well and leaves your face feeling clean after use. Definitely worth the extra few dollars

Greasy, does not blend in well but does not leave white marms
Overall, when researching this product, I saw that it does not leave the white residue on your face like normal sunscreen does, I’m looking for a face moisturizer first with SPF but this one feels more just like an SPF sunscreen. It is pretty greasy shortly and after a few hours of having it on, especially when sweating it makes my face feel really oily, and also it does not blend in very well such as pretty much like I just mentioned you could still feel it on your face a couple hours later but if the no white resident is the most important thing for you, it does not leave that residue. It’s cruelty free and vegan product (no animal products in it or animal testing done) so that’s good but I will most likely not be purchasing this .
