I don't think there is any significant difference now.

(At one time, the term sunblock might have been used for a cream or lotion that gave more protection than sunscreen.)

People talk about "putting on sunscreen" or "putting on sunblock."

example:  "I need to put on sunblock/sunscreen before I go to the beach."

does it also means a kind of cream that protect skin from sunlight .......... yes
