In case anyone’s interested, there’s an updated test report from Which? on sun screens. The highlights are:
Best Buys / Passed Tests
Best Buys / Passed Tests
- Aldi Lacura SPF30 Sun Lotion, £2.49/200ml
- Lidl Cien Sun Spray SPF30, £3.29/200ml
- Piz Buin in Sun Moisturising Sun Lotion SPF30, £6.50/200ml
- Asda Protect Moisturising Sun Lotion SPF 30 High
- Bondi Sands SPF50+ Face Sunscreen Lotion
- Calypso Press & Protect Sun Lotion SPF30
- Boots Soltan Brightening Protect & Moisturise Facial Suncare Cream with Vitamin C SPF50, £6.50/50ml
- Garnier Ambre Solaire Super UV Daily Invisible Face Serum with SPF 50+, £9.49/30ml
- Nivea Sun UV Face Anti-Age Q10 Cream SPF50, £10.00/50ml
- Ultrasun Face SPF50+, £26.00/50ml
Which? do this every year to get people subscribing!!! I take these with huge pinch of salt, for example, Bondi Sands is Australian, they will be so well tested to meet Australian regulations which are incredibly strict!!! Also they only tested 12 items, rather small in my opinion!
I do subscribe so they won’t be hooking me in!
(If anything I might cancel because it’s so expensive now and anything major gets picked up in the press anyway so you don’t always need the subscription.)I tend to trust Which? and I can’t see them telling blatant lies but maybe their testing was flawed, in which case Bondi Sands need to contest their findings. It wouldn’t be the first time the Consumers Association have been challenged and they do report back if they made a mistake.
PS I just saw in the detail, Which? said
“This sun cream failed our SPF tests twice. It didn’t come close to the claimed SPF and didn’t reach the minimum required UVA protection.
Bondi Sands didn't respond to our invitation to comment.”

It is getting very expensive… that said, I started using my face lotion beginning of April. And it’s still got some in.. so it does last.

I am looking at alternatives to Ultrasun, face products especially. I am finding the pump delivery in the containers I have at the moment very poor.I am sure there will be a fair amount left which I will not be able to get out.

A chap on here (Julius - alas sadly departed) used Soltan 'once' by boots. Its another once a day (common sense applies) product. It seems to have decent reviews, & Julius would let fly if something was rubbish (an entertaining chap) Also much cheaper than U.sun. ..
Also you'd get advantage points. They tend to have lots of deals on Soltan with the card.
Any estimates re price please Super? Do you have any records from last year ? I'm considering this for the Factor 30, but there may be better ways to purchase if the other 2 products in the tsv are rubbish, which I think they may be.
Thanks in advance xx
PS: Are you getting any L'occitane for your Mom in todays TSV?
