Cheap E45 suntan lotion

Just a quick heads up for those with senstive skin: Chemist Direct is selling E45 sun cream at knock-down prices. They are £3 each, rather than £10. Postage is £3, but if you wanted to stock up, this is a decent deal.

    Poundland has the factor 15 at a pound.
  • Can anyone confirm that once suncream gets old, it loses it's protection factor significantly - so for example stock of, say, last year's factor 15 suncream (shop sealed and unopened) will NOT give you factor 15 protection now?
    I have extremely sensitive skin and burn easily, so buying a cut price cream which may be a year or more old may not protect me like I think it will...
    Mmmmmmmmmm...... bargains.......!

    I have sensitive skin and have used Aldi's suncream I think it was factor 40 250ml for £2.99 also bought factor baby factor 50, 100ml for £2.49. I wouln't go as low as factor 15. I have read that it does lose its protection but don't think it was as quickly as a year.
