It's even more expensive than it used to be when I lived in Paris! Who in their right minds would pay that? What does it actually do that makes it superior? It seems like the price comes for "buying into an exclusive brand." More fool people that buy it, I say!

Does this price include the flight to your holiday destination?

If I bought a sunscreen that expensive I doubt I'd be able to eat anything :-( and it's got aluminium in it. I like the packaging but that's not going to persuade me to part with that amount of money! Even Ultrasun is better than that! I still say Soltan is a good all-rounder!

I didn't even see on the blurb that it was a once a day application!

That's right! Because it's a poor product marketed at people with more money than sense! I like my Soltan! Have used it for years and it's never let me down! Sisley can go take a running jump!

Sisley are a very high skin care brand always have been. I have used their foundation and it was around £69 then and yes fantastic,but they have another one at £100.

I tested a Sisley sun cream for the body as a Beauty Bible tester and couple of years ago (rrp about £89). It pains me to say it but it was absolutely lovely to use and using it up during 10 days in Cyprus I came home with the best tan ever and my skin felt fab. I suspect they pump in more skin care ingreejunts than other sun protection products, or maybe it just suited my skin? The label said factor 15 but I tanned gradually without consciously sunbathing, without redness even though I'm fair skinned.

There's a killer question on every Beauty Bible questionnaire which is, "Would you repurchase?" And the answer is No, I can't afford it.....but....if I won the lottery?....Hell Yes!
