I've just seen it lupime. When you buy these products you assume they are correct in what they claim to provide. I used Aldi lacura which im pleased to read does what it says on the bottle. X

Hi I just read this as well, pretty awful really. I usually stick to Ultrasun,I know it’s a bit more expensive but works for me. I did try Nivea a few years ago when I was caught short and apart from the greasy feeling it didn’t work for me either, I binned it. We have had terrible weather the last few weeks but had a little sunshine two days ago and I was under my brolly in garden for a short time in between doing a little gardening (pulling weeds) I was shocked at night to see one half of my face actually burnt. No idea how this happened apart from that tiny little bit of sunshine we had. We have to be so careful and it was completely my own fault as I didn’t put my cream on that day as it was pouring most of the day.

i read the article and not sure who to believe. doesnt say whether same testing equipment was used by companies and which, so could possibly be not entirely accurate readings as each other 🤷‍♀️ which at the end of the day is just another money making company.

I personally have gone for sunscreen that everyone on here has recommended, as in my opinion these are the experts 😁 ive tried a few until i found the one that best suits me. yes, some may be expensive but my skin is worth it. x
