Too heavy and greasy for the face
I usually use a separate SPF for my face and body, but when I saw this on offer I thought I'd give it a go (huge 300ml tube, a good brand apparently, about 14 quid, etc). Although it's fine for the body, this was far too thick a consistency for my face. Perhaps dryer skin types would fare better, but if you have combination/oily skin, this is not for you. I think even normal skin types might suffer too...I not only looked like I was covered in grease after a few hours at work, but also my face felt much stickier and greasier than normal. Not a great look in the office. I'm going back to Korean/Japanese SPFs which appear to mostly have far better formulations and results. So this did not turn out to be such good value for money after all.

Really creamy and soft
This milk is soft and gentle for all the family loved the smell and how it dried in quickly on the skin and didn't leave a skin feeling greasy

It protects skin but it feels greasy to me
This is a good size tube of sun cream and does provide protection with regular applications. It says it is a non greasy product but I disagree, I find it greasy to touch, to the point where I do not like to sit on my sofa after application. It is quite expensive compared to others and therefore I was disappointed that it feels so greasy. OK on your holidays but not so practical for everyday sun protection if you dont want to feel sticky all the time. Fragrance is pleasant but very mild. This probably wouldn't be my first choice in future however it does work so I would recommend it.

Great protection
It gave really good protection from the sun, I even used it on my toddler when hers ran out while we were out for the day, it feels lovely and silk when it goes on the skin and has a lovely fragrance that just makes me think of holidays!

mild, non greasy and effective
Have used this all summer on face hands and arms- It soaks in after a minute (so you can add a primer and foundation for face)
Best all rounder SFF 50.

Not as expected
I bought this sunscreen after seeing it was suitable for both face and body, and also because the description said it leaves no white marks. Having used it now, I can say it is a thick and greasy sunscreen, which makes it quite hard to apply. But the worst part is that it does a leave a white cast which is really disappointing. Personally, would not buy it again

great product
This is a lovely product to use whether you are on holiday or in your back garden. It smells heavenly and sinks into your skin without leaving a greasy residue. It offers great protection for your skin and doesn't irritate it all. The bottle is large and is, therefore, good value for money.

Standard sun cream
This sun cream makes some bold claims about luxurious textures etc but I really did feel this was a very sun of the mill sun cream. For me the texture was exactly the same as other cheaper leading brands sold at boots and having been kindly sent this by boots to review I don't think I would spend so much money on purchasing it when I run out. On the plus side is does have a nice light fruity floral scent and it comes in a large bottle. Packaging is nice and looks high end.
