Thought you couldn't take aerosols in your hand luggage?
Or is it a pump one?

Not quite sure about this, husband says depends on what aerosol it is, but we took our sunscreen on my hand luggage last year without any problems. It is not a pump one, but it is a mousse so (I assume) not as dangerous as an spray, although is does say it is flammable. (I may be about to be corrected here...)

Just re-read it's protection, it is both UBA and UVB protection, it last for up to 6 hours, and as it is absorbed into the skin (does not sit on top) is water and towel resistant. I don't use less than factor 30, and as I was burnt badly as a child, raising my chances of getting skin cancer, I wear it under make-up and on exposed skin from April to October, cloudy or sunny as advised by the consultant dermatologist I work with (I've seen too many skin cancers to risk otherwise).

I just went out and bought 4 bottles only to walk past a 'SAVER' store where they were £4.99 a bottle.:rolleyes:

skwiffy, take your original purchase back and get a refund.

anyone know if this is ok for sensitive skin? baby 5 months old & has mild excema so a bit wary of what i'm using - at mo just keeping him covered & in shade but won't work all summer! sounds good for ds1 though as playgroup won't apply suncream so i need something that lasts from when i do it at 9am till playgroup finishes at 12 noon. think there's a savers in morley. where i've been today. pah!

Poncey suncreams - pah! Nothing wrong with chip pan oil.

Just wasted a trip to superdrug - no BOGOF offer.

Was going to try this product as I'm a P20 user myself - I don't worry about the 1½ wait - since routine for me and my family is to have a shower, apply P20, wait 20 mins to dry, wear clothes, goto breakfast and by time all that done time for some rays

i just bought soltan kids 50+ ultra for my 8 month baby - just noticed it says 18 months and over:mad: she has mild excema - i think i'll take it back and look for something unperfumed. i would recommend the long sleeved uva protection swim suits aswell as:cool:

tried p20 last year, it seems very effective, no burnt skin at all. I did find yellow stains on white shirts a problem though. Maybe I didnt wait long enough?

I saw an alternative come well recommended on a board last summer. Its similar to p20 but non coloured. It has protection from both UVA and B and is available in SPFs from 17- 30. I have seen it online, in John Lewis and Superdrug. JL had packs with free aftersun last year.
