I used this product over the period of a 5 day holiday: I thought it would be fine, why wouldn't I (although it is worth pointing out a do have quite sensitive skin)...And then after the first day a had a 'bobbley' feeling face and the backs of my ears were hot and raised. I thought it might be food, and since I didn't have any other cream, and it was 40 degree heat almost everyday, I continued to use the product (stupidly).
I've since come back, and the rash behind and all over my ears is still very uncomfortable, hot and itchy. It effected my face too, visibly, but not as badly as around my ears.
Despite applying onto my arms everyday as well, I haven't had any rash appear there.
This is one of the worst products I have ever used, and urge everyone to stay away from this Piz Buin product line if they value their appearance and skin. Why risk it?

Why are the manufacturers continuing to market this product when so many people are suffering an allergic reaction when they haven't been prone to sensitive skin previously? I wrote to them last year to complain after my husband's holiday was ruined after using this product and the only response received was that I had to return the product and received a replacement hypo-allergenic cream in its place, which we would not think about using. Such a shame as we have used piz buin products in previous years with no adverse effects. I agree with the reviewer, it isn't worth taking the risk of using this product
