Don't think so Reesy, it lasts about 6 hours. If you burn using a normal factor 20 then you would probably burn with P20 too. I can use a low factor and don't burn so think I would probably be ok. I know other members have used it and say it's good.

I used to burn using ambre solaire factor 30, but with that calypso p20 I was fine and came home with a nice tan, and it's lasted, started to fade a little now but you can still tell I;ve been away and that's from 2 weeks ago (feels like been back longer). I think the good thing with the p20 is it's totaly waterproof so you don't have to worry about reapplying where as the creams you have to re-apply and sometimes forget or what ever.

Don't get the branded P20 as it's about £20 a bottle. The calypso P20 is just as good and a fraction of the cost.

As for prickly heat I don't know as I don't suffer from it.

Thanks for the tips Steve. Does it last long? Although Ive bought loads of normal sun creams, if it works well with the kids and hubby do you think Id need to buy another bottle?Dont want to run out as we are going for 2 weeks. Idont need such a high factor so probably wont use it myself.

:
The P20 would be no good for prickly heat sufferers then? If it forms a film over the skin it would block your pores surely?

Colette
you are rigth about P20 and prickly heat sufferers its not a good one to try as I found out

PizBun have a once a day one as well which I use, this doesnt seem irritate my prickly heat as much.

Colette, daughter and I both get prickly heat and this year, a friend recommended the Piz Buin suncream (there is one specifically marked for sun allergies), and we found it made a big difference. We both still got a wee bit of a rash, but it was nothing compared to how bad we normally both get it.

Thanks. I got it in Wilkos this morning, £6.15.

You can buy them in 100ml or 200ml I had 200ml and it lasted me about 10days that was just using it for 2 of us.

Thanks Blondie, I will have a look in Asda tomorrow when I go shopping for it
