I was just checking this too but no date or indication of when to use by. Usually there would be a 12M or 24M date to signal that once you open it you should use it within 12 or 24 months for example. Wonder why these have no indication

Maybe this is why there going cheap???

Don't know who was more shocked me or the Sales assistant.

Nice one picked up 4 bottles yesterday. Just a shame 15 was the lowest available.

If it is the gel then just a word of warning PLEASE DO NOT use it on the face but myself & MIL did & it really stings & our skin went really red. (we had to wash it off quickly) it was ok on the rest of the body although it does go a little bitty.

As previously mentioned the sprays/lotion are better.

Still a good price.

It sounds like it has gone off. Be very careful using this in very hot weather (abroad) as it will not offer you any (or reduced) protection. I made the mistake of buying some cheap suncream (I'm sure it was ambre solaire too) one year from boots that was on clearance. I used it while on holiday in north africa and I burnt and came out in prickly heat. It was factor 20 too:eek: it went streaky and bitty when I applied it.

Ours was factor 30!! But I get on fine with their factor 30 spray, no streaks or bittyness.

it does state quite clearly on my bottle several times"Do not use on the face".I have aslo noticed a helpline number which might be useful if anyone is concerned that there is no expiry.I think its probably due to it containing alcohol.

Thanks for the post, the stcok in our local store, although hard tofind (towards the back), even had the shelf strips with the right price £1 printed on them, had the last eight bottles on display ready for my october trip to Sri lanka!

Nice one
