I wouldn't usually include that, except that for once, I genuinely think it describes the product really well.

This aftersun is light, effective, and great for sensitive skin. I've found it soaks in well, and soothes and cools skin brilliantly. I presume this is due to the combination of chamomile and aloe vera or not, but whatever it is it works for me! It spreads fairly easily, and I haven't found it sticky or greasy.

I like the fact that it contains no perfumes and colouring, because as I have really sensitive skin, this is a huge factor in which creams I do and don't, can and can't use. I also think it's generally better for skin not to be subjected to too much artificial substance if we can help it. (But that's only my opinion!)

The lotion leaves my skin feeling soft for hours, although if I'm on holiday, I do like to apply once I'm out of the shower, and then again, usually after dinner and just before I go to bed. Again, I have really sensitive, dry skin, so most people probably wouldn't need to, but I feel it makes a difference, and I like to make sure my skin is as moisturised as possible before more sun exposure the next day!

My only wish really, is that it came in a bigger bottle!

Summary: Good all round after sun for sensitive skin
