Ambre Solaire Hydra 24 Hour Protect Lotion, Water Resistant Sunscreen, With Shea Butter, Uva And Uvb Protection, Unscented, Sun Protection Factor 50, 200 Ml, Pack Of 1

I generally have 'normal' skin, however, with many suncreams I become greasy, this leads to makeup melting off and reapplication. This suncream has an excellent formula and I haven't dealt with any excess grease on my face (other than the expected tiny amount from having a product on your face). It also isn't drying, its comfortably moisturising. It gives a slight glow and softness to the skin without being overbearing and sweaty-looking. As for sun protection, I don't tend to burn easily, but the sun cream reduces redness and the slight burning sensation on the skin, whilst still letting my skin tan evenly. I haven't had much of an opportunity to test the water resistance but among the other great qualities of this product, I can't believe that it would be terrible in that area. I don't have skin allergies or sensitivity, so I can't speak much on that, although the formula is very soothing, moisturising and simple. There are no harsh scents, it has a pleasant, light smell (whereas most have that harsh suncream-stench), this means it will probably reduce irritation for those that deal with it lots. Overall, I think it would make a very good staple in anyones skincare routine, its cheap, basic and perfect formula for the face and body. It's cruelty free too! Hope this helps! :)

I was looking for something a little moisturing and that smelt pleasant without the checmical smell that some factor 50 creams have as I wanted it for my face rather than body. Both me and my husband are now using this daily its really good value as its a decent size. I use it as an under make up high factor face cream is nice and emolient from the shea butter but not too creasy sinks in in minutes and like many high factors starts of with a white film but this one disapears very quickly and just makes my skin look radient not greasy so its good for daily wear as I just dont trust make ups that say they are high factor included in them, i bet Im not alone either. The bottle is a good shape too for shoving in my bag to go to the beach or away for the day ( if we ever get back out) Its not too big and secure on top. My husband ruinned his skin last year to the point he had to go to hospital so has bad sun damage so he must protect his skin now he us using this without moaning and daily too so its working out a good buy for us. I would definatley recomend this to anyone it has a faint smell but its a clean smell not annoying chemical smell.

Great value for money given the size and protection factor, but it can leave a bit of a white cast on the skin. The bottle is squeeze operated and easy to use.

Good for my skin

Used this during 30°+ heat in Mallorca - not one bit of sunburn! I'm a ginger, and burn easily so was very impressed with this. Not suitable if you want a tan, unless you use this then gradually decrease the strength. I used it from my chest down to my feet (I had another facial cream) and my skin never felt sticky it greasy, or dry. I applied it once, before going out and only reapplied after a shower in the evening. Best sun cream I've used for years. I wish it contained anti-mosquito stuff and then it would be absolutely perfect!

All my life I have had pale skin, I burn every year without fail. Whether it is because I spontaneously end up on a day out during summer, if I put sun cream on but end up being in sun too long or just me being an idiot and wanting to 'get a bit of colour'. For people like me slightly burning and going red is about the only colour I can get that isn't paper white. Finally at 35 years old, I see the dangers of skin cancer having hit members of my family. I see the damage it has actually done to my face around my nose and cheeks. I just got back from a 2 week cruise around the caribbean, I bought this for £6 I believe and it is exactly the same as the one in Asda that cost £10 (I actually compared product codes and everything). I wore this pretty much any time I went around one of the islands or hanging around the top deck, swimming pool/hot tubs on sea days. I didn't get burned at all. I wouldn't say I lay it on that thick either, enough that I feel like it has covered the skin with a very thin layer. It lasts for hours. You can go swimming in pools or the sea and it still works. Trust the king, it was literally 30 degrees basically every day out there and as most people joke when I got back "did you even go on holiday/out in the sun?!" The glorious answer is yes I did, so I would definitely recommend this product to any ghostly pale people out in the world like me, buy it cheap on amazon and enjoy the sun!

Good product

Thick but not sticky or gross feeling. Great protection, but only problem is that it creates a somewhat grey hue on skin, so would be cautious if you are darker. I just wiped away any residue to deal with that.
