    I've been looking for these offers ever since reading about them on here but all 4 stores here don't have any reduced! Lol! Going away next month so these would be ideal! :)

    In my local stores these "specials" are always at the end of an aisle with white handwritten price tickets on.

    I used Soltan Once when I was on holiday this year and it stained anything white it came into contact with a lovely bright yellow/orange. Don't think I'll be buying that again

    My parents took it on holiday with them and it stained one of my mums favourite white/cream tops. She complained when she got back from holiday and they were very shifty indeed. In fact, after fighting for a refund and a bit of compensation for the pricey top which was ruined, they then denied ever having any knowledge of having her top even though she had sent it to them as proof and they had acknowledged receiving it! Clearly they didn't want the 'evidence' falling into the wrong hands. I'm surprised after incidences like these, that they haven't withdrawn the product or improved the formula! :mad:

    "Do not be silly", said the Man, "for a frock alone cannot do that".
    "True", said the Lady, "I will have the shoes and the bag as well".

    Disappointed you say it stains - not such a bargain. Passed over the Piz Buin all day that was £2.45 in favour of the Boots own brand - got 4 bottles to use. Will use it when I go a rambling next year and make sure I wear old tops. I go off walking with the Ramblers and do get very hot and sweaty so always buy cheap tops for that very reason. Never had a staining problem with the Piz Buin all day, Calypso all day oil (which incidentally is half the price of P20 and exactly the same ingredients and smell! - can always get it in Wilkinson) I just don't want to get burnt.

    Please beware buying these creams and putting them by for next year. The oil emulsion breaks down over time and WILL NOT give you the same protection in 6 or 9 months time. Check the BB dates carefully before you buy. They should be fine for anybody going on holiday soon.
