As with most sun creams during the summer months, this sun cream was on a half price offer in Boots so I invested in a couple to take on holiday with me. It cost me the equivalent of £6.56 per bottle which is great value for a suncream of a good reputable make. Normally it would retail at £13.12. You can also buy these suncreams in other stores such as Tescos or Sainsburys.

The bottle stands upright and is mostly white in colour but with orange writing on it. There is a pump dispenser at the top and a clear round lid that you lift off when you want to use it. The pump dispenser worked very well at the start. You only needed to press it once and quite lightly for a lot of cream to come out. It even worked on an angle at the beginning and I was happy using it.

However, a few days in to the holiday I struggled to use the cream as I found the dispenser so hard to use. It seemed to go really, really stiff and I couldn't press it down with just one finger. My other half didn't find it problematic at all but he's a lot stronger than me. I am by no means weaker than any other 30+ woman so I imagine others would struggle too.

The actual cream worked very well for its intended use, to prevent burning and protect the skin. This bottle was Factor 30 but they do others which are lower and higher factors. I didn't burn any areas and felt comfortable with it on. The cream looked similar to other creams but I found it harder to rub in than others I've tried. I was glad it worked well in protecting the skin though.

Basically I was happy with the cream apart from the fact that I struggled to get it out! If the dispenser had been looser it would have been much better. I would have awarded more stars if the bottle had been made better.
