My dad told me about home bargains at the weekend £3.99 for the suncream and £2.99 for aftersun, he said they only had factor 50, 30 and 10 though.

From Mataln try the CALYPSO ONCE A DAY it is magic stuff.Put it on in the morning then forget about getting burnt.It lasts all day and only costs £6 for 200ml, dont be frightend of the stuff because it really does work, it is also waterproof so swimming wont affect its use.

Be careful MANDYWAG thre is a lot of fake sunscreen stuff floating around on e-bay and it does not work.

Bought my Piz Buin off Ebay last year,certainly wasnt fake stuff,not disputing though that theres probably a lot of fakes being sold.

If you live in the north then home bargains sell piz buin for £3.99 - total bargain ! Google the shop for locations.

No home bargain store anywhere near me But was in Wilkinsons last week and they have Piz Buin on offer....only looked at the Tan Intensifier one as thats what we use and it was around £7.A bargain as retails at £16+ in Boots.

Juju did they have all the factors in wilkinsons?? as I am still looking for a 15 and a 20, they didn't have them in home bargains!

I second that. I have been useing it for a couple of years now after useing normal creams and lotions and getting burned as I like to swim alot and forgot to reapply sometimes since useing the Calypso Once A Day I can swim without haveing to reapply. I get mine from Home Bargains think I pay 4.99 for 200ml. Also with it being once a day you don't use as much as you would with normale cream sprays so less to pack, I usually take a 200ml bottle and 100ml bottle and that usually does me 2 weeks.

Danni I will not be back there before thursday but I will check then.As I said I only looked at Tan intensifier but they had all the others too.Will report back if you have not found out before then.

I would advise everyone to test their suncream if not used before or in awhile... I used piz buin for the first time last year and I'm not allergic to anything but I broke out in Hives (which is basiclly an allergic reaction) It's not a very pleasant experience I must say!

Just wanted to warn everyone to take care

Same happens to me with Boots Soltan products - my partner kept telling me it was prickly heat and I kept slapping more of the stuff on!!!

I used the Calypso in June and October last year, I found it stained a lot of things,especially a white vest if you decided to go for a walk etc. I will probably go back to the normal sun tan lotion this year.

It definitely did the job though and I didnt burn.

you need to use the oil free one so it does not block your pores

I used to suffer with a blotchy rash/prickly heat type thing too and wondered if it was the Nivea suncream I was using as it can be a bit oily/greasy, but the last couple of years I've used a good body scrub the day or night before flying and this seems to have solved the problem - no more rashes
