I had a few of their bottles a few years ago and I'm currently sweating away in a hammock and thought I'd order some more. Spotted they now offer a 1L bottle that appears to be good value and it's discounted slightly.

For reference from what I can see other sun creams on offer are often 100-200ml for £5, this is £1.59 per 100ml. They also seem to use some of the money towards a good cause if that's your thing.

Not a skin Dr so can't comment on the quality, but my skin is still attached to me currently and it's supposed to be suitable for sensitive skin.

    Doesn't protect against UVB, which any dermatologist would say is essential to prevent burning and skin cancer

    Think you're talking nonsense:

    Worth a go gets decent reviews. Not exactly easy to take to the beach but am sure can decant into smaller containers

    I ordered this a couple of months ago. A great suncream but the bottle was very poorly packaged and the push top doesn't have any kind of protection for transit so was in quite a mess when it arrived after the bottle leaked. Amazon rejected my review highlighting this issue.

    Caution if you have darker skin will make you look like Casper the ghost.

    Been using this for a good few years. Find it excellent.

    Excellent sun screen this one is a little more watery than the cream but is great for all over I use the spf 50 cream on my face multiple times a day and I would say it's my favourite sunscreen by a country mile (edited)

    Looks very good value when the "name" ones on the high street at £6.50 / £7 for 200ml.

    Cheers Op, have just ordered, will give it a go.

    Bought some SPF 50 from this brand recently, after having wish listed it last year when I saw it recommended.

    Used it for the first time at a festival this weekend and it was excellent, much better than any suncream I have ever used and did the job very well, despite massive exposure to the sun, couldn't have survived without it, very good value as well.

    Anyone know if this is good for people who suffer from contact dermatitis?

    My family have sensitive / eczema type skin and this is great for it. It’s soothing and emollient.

    Brilliant stuff I've been using for years. Slather it on before going fishing for the day and it does what it's supposed to. Have tried lots of different brands over the years and this really is value for money.

    Love this suncream, have been using it for years and no issues...initially found it when researching for a suncream for my son with eczema, and it's never caused him any problems (unlike most other suncreams). Mineral based for those with sensitive skin, and 5 star rating for UVA/B. At this price, it's a bargain!

    I bought the "face fluid" from this brand and found it totally unusable on my face as the fumes made my eyes sting like crazy. Been using it on my arms just to get rid of the stuff. Suggest buying a small bottle of this stuff first to see if it works for you.
