Calypso Once A Day Sun Protection SPF40

I was slightly dubious about using a once a day lotion but having found numerous different repeat application creams and lotions nothing but trouble and still managing to get burnt I decided to give it a go on this years summer holiday to Spain. Wow..I have to say I would never go back. The best tan I have had ever with no hint of burning and the tan seem to last so much longer when I had got home. I had reservations about using it on the children but went for the 40SPF and did apply on at least 2 occasions for the first couple of days (just to be safe) but they had no problems whatsoever and of course when used with sensible sun time management I was extremely confident after 2 days in, that this cream was protecting them ever so well. They all had a beautiful golden glow after the holiday so this stuff had really done the trick. I myself used the 20SPF and again applied a couple of times in the first few days but probably didn't need to. Kids had no problem with the smell although I did find that the 20SPF was a lotion rather than a cream and this would take your breath away when applying to the face area but only lasts for seconds and dries in nicely. a Great product all round, If you haven't tried it then make the switch with confidence that if used sensibly this will provide great protection and give a healthy looking tan.

Some folks mentioned it peels but for some reason I found it didn't peel but found sun cream 30 spf by garnier did peel and always got in my eyes. This stuff stays put does fine under make up. I also use their spray which goes fine over make up with no bad effects. Didn't find it trying or irritating, but I I use a facial oil (rosehip, avocado and rapeseed) to seal my moisturizer. It's 40 spf and 4 star uvas important to fight aging and the longware means replying sunscreen doesn't need to involve washing face and reapplying make up. I use the spray to reapply if it's sunny and i've been AT LEAST outside 4+ plus hours, I only use a fine mist. I'm was considering getting another brand for face but this seems ok, I take good care of my skin and seeing the spf and uva protection is the best preventive anti-aging product one can use I choose a strong one that lasts without needing to reapply makeup (most sunscreens need replied every 2 hours that you are exposed to the sun so every min in the sun counts),,has good spf and at least 4 stars uva . As my skiin health is good and I use an oil barrier before applying I am happy with this , I also like the spray and even though spray has drying ingredients over a full face of make up it is fine and makes replying easy without ruining my make up (I just need to dust with setting powder again after easy peeazy lemon squeezie ) . However if I change my mind or notice poor skin/reddness I will update.

No burning this year, good quality

The smell of this suncream is delightful - much better than any of the others out there! It's fairly thick so you will need to rub it in well, but overall it doesn't leave any white residue, and even better it doesn't leave any stains on your clothes. Despite being thick we've also found that it doesn't clog the pores. We are a family of pale-skinned people and this works well to protect our skin from the sun. It's become a regular purchase in our household. Getting the last bits out of the tube is tricky, but I think we can all agree that there are very few cosmetic products where you can successfully get the last bits out.

Have been using this for years. For anyone doubting it, IT WORKS! Non greasy leaves skin feeling normal and doesn't mark clothes. No prickly heat as it doesn't trap sweat. Relatively quick drying as long as you don't put too much on one spot (which isn't necessary anyway). Cheaper and better than P 20 IMPORTANT TIP: always apply in the same order around your body, so you don't miss anywhere.

Seemed to do what it says, obviously a bit thicker cream. Did t get a chance to test much longer but happy with the product.

Can't rate this highly enough. I bought the spf 40 suitable for kids 150ml. I was looking at a couple of different 'once a day' suncreams, but this seemed to be the best value for money. It is a white cream and mixes in to the skin easily and seems to dry quite quickly. I've not had any issues with it staining clothes which I've heard can happen with other brands. It smells nice too, it reminds me of the Hawaiin Tropic suncream we used to have. The proof is in the pudding though, my wife and I used it on ourselves and put it on our 5 and 3 year old sons. My youngest often burns when out in the sun too long, but even the 30c heat we've had this week, none of us have got burnt and I've been out in the sun all day long too. Really pleased with it and will take away the pain of having to time how long we last put cream on and avoid the unpleasantness of having to put it on at the beach and rubbing sand everywhere! Will definitely be buying again.

Put on thoroughly, wait 15 mins +, then dress, good for your beach or pool sunbathing... read the leaflet
