Really good price this. Around £16 everywhere else. Probably one of the best sun cream, comes handy in holidays or hot weather.

Not too pleasant smelling either. Try Calypso Once a Day as an alternative. £7.99 on Amazon .

10 Hour protection. You get SP8 after a few hours so topup again if you are fair skinned!
Best buy stuff that is cheap enough to slap on properly!

Much prefer Calypso. Not only is it much much much cheaper, but its available all the time at Aldi, Home Bargains, Amazon.
Never fails me (unless you miss a bit when applying!).
Best bit? No staining like with P20.

I have used P20 whilst running for a few years and never got burnt including 2 half Marathons at 2 hours each. I gave found it stays more sticky once applied these days though - you could never tell you had it on previously

When you look like I do, see profile pic, and have a skullet I prefer sprays that you don't need to rub in and are clear. My pal swears by this stuff but he isn't hirsute like me and apparently doesn't sweat!
Greasy
Also factor 30 is pointless if you actually want a tan haha!

Good price, shame the 20 or 15 isn't on offer tho, 30 a bit high for me

Currently in Spain with this stuff on. Stops you burning, but also tanning. Very oily and smells like you're plastering yourself with vodka which can be somewhat overwhelming first thing in the morning. Voted hot as I paid about 15 quid for my bottle

Good price, but don't wear it with anything white as it will stain your clothes.

They must have changed the ingredients in this as when i used to use it, it never stained clothing, although that hasnt been for a few years.

Im a window licker so i work outside and have tried all lotions over the years. P20 is the best lotion to stop you burning and recommend it to anyone who burns easily and for children for peace of mind. Yes if over applied it will stain your clothes but if basic applied its not too greasy and doesnt run in your eyes like most lotions and also easily by far the best water resistant lotion. Im 43 dark haired and over the years i thought i never really needed much Sun tan lotion and have had a great tan looking like the Spanish, however a few years ago i had a Melonoma removed off my back. Seriously dudes watch those Moles on your skin and slap a 5 star uva ECT.

Apparantly which called for a ban of P20 and others advertising 'all day'.
grifz here has a warning about trusting suncream to last all day!
Normal Calypso is well recommended, giving you what it says on the tin!

It is also worth noting that Australia banned the 'once per day' lie.
You have been warned.

This stuff does work (I.e. provide all day protection) however it's not the nicest to use. It's a bit sticky and turns clothes yellow (which does wash out no problem).
Superb price if you are wanting it though,

Anyone else think this stuff smells like curry after being put on?!

Highly recommended for cyclists, runners etc I have used it on long days out in the sun and has been the best i have found!

It's worth researching the chemicals that go in to 99% of sun creams. That 99% have cancer causing chemicals in them that are 'above the safe limits', if such a limit even exists. From the research I did when I looked in to it a couple of months or so ago, there's only two that seem to be completely safe, which are 'Badger' and ThinkSport.

They all use zinc for equal non safety. You are safely wrong.

It's rubbish don't buy it. Doesn't last all day, stinks and ruins ur clothes.

25 Jul 17#34
I'm really not. Please do some more research. Posting what you have is quite irresponsible. Go through the list of ingredients and Google then one by one, and then try telling me that they're safe. You won't be able to without lying.
LadyEleanor

You claimed alternative safety with a scare story whilst best said,all are 'likely safe'.
Me, I'll stick to reapplying but I,safely, know little.
roooby to LadyEleanor
27 Jul 17#36
I'll go with the researcher's findings rather than your opinion of 'likely safe'. I suggest others do also.
I'm not sure why you won't do what I suggested and search the individual chemicals present in all the mainstream sun creams, then we can have an informed discussion.
Also, how does zinc nullify the negative effects of the present chemicals?
