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.”

I use Puiz Buin both factors 30 and 50. I have never burnt. £5.99 from Home Bargains. Also use the Aftersun. I refuse to pay the silly prices Ultrasun ask for these days.
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.

Ultrasun 4 Piece Collection TSV 04/07/24 (more options to come)
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?
