Oh dear UltraSun

[donna255]

Article in the daily mail about sunscreen sPF50 that pass and those that failed.

Ultrasun Family SPF50 failed. It's that the one usually in TSVs?

Ultimate guide to sun creams including one brand that FAILED tests

The alarming findings come from safety experts at Which?, who found a number of cheaper supermarket alternatives offer strong protection.

Which do these reports & I get the magazine.Have said before I do not remember Ultrasun being mentioned or featuring as one of the best products.Am off to read this latest update.

The Ultrasun passed. It was the Avon cream that failed.
They did say the Ultrasun didnt absorb as easily as some of the others. I guess that is personal taste, as I don’t have a problem with that at all.
I don’t get heat rash since using ultrasun and I put it on in the morning and I’m done.

I read that the Ultrasun factor 30 passed but didn't absorb as well of some of the others. The list of factor 50's didn't mention the Ultrasun so we can only presume that it wasn't part of the test - Had it failed, they would've said so. What it does go to show is that you don't have to spend silly money to get good protection from the sun!

The SPF 50 was not mentioned, only the SPF 30

La Roche-Posay is frequently recommended by derms, does well in strict tests like Which, and is reasonably priced. I'm a fair-skinned redhead, and been using it for years for its high protection.

I'll need to look at that Dry Sherry as the factor 50 I had on the other day did not stop me burning. I think it was boots own for children.

Should this thread be removed or edited if Ultrasun passed the test? I've never used the product but to say it failed when it didn't leads the forum to defamatory disinformation.

The article does list Ultrasun as a fail

 

[WinnieWhippet]

Where is it listed as a failure?

I just read it again, I think the fail in the article title referred to Avon.

 

[saintslad]

I cannot see Ultrasun listed as a fail.

I love this forum but am concerned that fake posts leave it open to negative comment.

Thanks for clarification. The title thread is incorrect and shows poorly on community.

Love ultrasun. Can wear it all over my face including mobile eyelids with no irritation. Have had some unpleasant reactions with other brands, including swelling. I dread every reformulation in case it stops working so well for me. I use factor 30 year round and 50 of going somewhere persistently 25C or above.

I've used Ultrasun for years now (usually factor 30) and I've been able to slap it on and not reapply all day, so I'm happy with it.

 

[ClaireKelly]

I love the simplicity of Ultrasun. Never burn, and no prickly heat.

Ultrasun is the only brand that doesn’t make my eyes strea.
