TJ Hughes (for Northerners) have all Piz Buin at £6.99.

You can buy it online from TJ HUGHES if you can't get to a Savers or superdrug.

Used P20 for years with no problems, I always burned before and NEVER tanned until I found this. However, it does discolour clothing and towels, although wahes out.
The last 2 years We have used Ultrasun, always bought it on the plane and worked even better than P20 with NO staining. They only have factor 20 on the Plane. But we have discovered that they sell it in John Lewis and at the moment, factor 28 for sensitive skin, those prone to prickly heat and children is £15.99 for 100ml gel with 50ml FREE! Online at Ultrasuns own site, 150ml is £21.95. Bought this today, but not tried this actual one before.
40 mins binding time, but NO restrictions on how much time you can stay in the water which is what put me off Piz Buin. We are in all day with out 3 year old, and our very fair skin has never ever burnt.
Protects against BOTH UVA and UVB

so does the piz buin one have a restriction on the length of time you can stay in the water? i knew the soltan one had a 40 minute limit but i didn't know there was one with piz buin too. what is the limit?

tescos were doing piz buin once a day half price (at least it was yesterday when I was in there) which is £5.49 for the spf 15 - hope this helps!

if you can't get it from savers, superdrug bogof with the 10% is cheapest.

I am a convert from P20 to Piz Buin Factor 30. I am fair skinned and do burn easily. Recently returned from Israel where it was beautifully hot and sunny and did not burn at all . I was exposed to the sun most of the day with little shade.

Yesterday morning it was gloomy in London so I did not put on any Piz Buin factor 30 as I expected my game of tennis to be rained off,it was'nt and the rain held off. During the afternoon bright sunshine was drifting in and out and I did a few jobs in the garden. I did not realise until I went to get changed that I had bright red shoulders and neck...............do I feel daft or what! just goes to show you can never be too careful. I have 3 boxes in store and have just been and bought another 2 from Savers who seem to be well stocked.

Also, you guys and dolls that have had radiation treatment, do not forget you are very sensitive to the sun in the area of the radiation........

I really do feel such a nit because I am always slapping protection on and yesterday was caught totally unawares, reminding me painfully just how good this product is.

Go and buy.

Piz Buin seem to say that with most of their products you can spend "at least 80 minutes in the water".
