Advantages: good protection, nice smell

Disadvantages: expensive , marks your clothes

Last year I used a lot of Ambre Solaire sun protection products.
I bought a little bottle of spray and a regular sized bottle. Both of these were SPF25.
The perfume is really nice. Almost like honeysuckle (yum), and it blends into the skin easily, but there is a major drawback with these products. They leave white, indelible marks on your clothing! With white clothes it leaves a yellow stain, and with plastics or other coloured materials, it almost looks like a hazy bleach mark. I have had a few items of clothing ruined by this cream, and once I figured out that it must have been the culprit I stopped using it and bought another brand (Nivea, which is fine).
The sun protection of Ambre Solaire is excellent however, but really with all the choice of cheaper products out there that are just as effective - why buy something that's going to wreck your favourite shirt!?
This brand is also one of the dearer choices. So, I wouldn't recommend it.
Their introduction of SPF60 is interesting, hopefully other manufacturers will follow suit.

I have found that Nivea is a good allround cream. I'll try it for longer, along with Solait (Superdrug's own), and write reviews on those once I know more.
