Sun Tan Lotion

Addy

A couple of years ago I bought an all day suncream called ProSport. It's a factor 44. It's available from some sports shops in the UK, but only in small tubes. As I needed a large quantity for my brood, I ordered it in a pump dispenser from the States and it worked out cheaper than P20. It was excellent. No waiting time after application, easily absorbed, not greasy or stingy, and smelled nice too. Had the UVA protection as well as UVB.

If anyone's interested, the website I ordered from is

Added to say - most importantly, it works. I've used it now on 3 holidays, totalling 5 weeks for three children over two years, with no burning at all. Still got some left but won't risk that it hasn't "gone off".

You talkin' to me?

From memory, I think it was about two weeks.

Bear in mind that it might well be subject to an extra Customs charge, whether or not you're charged this seems to be a bit of a lottery. I wasn't but a friend who placed a separate order was - even with this it was still cheaper than P20.

I've just done a google and found a UK supplier of ProSport HERE but their prices seem much higher than the US site.

I wonder if the Piz Buin has a quicker binding time - the 90 minutes needed with P20 used to really be a problem with the children.

Checked Tesco today and Piz Buin states 20 mins binding time.

20 minutes is better than 90 when the kids are champing at the bit to get in the pool! Thanks for that.

Superdrug also have the piz buin range at bogof too;)

I always used to grab daughter when she first got up and before putting any clothes on would slap on the P20 while she was still half asleep
