Good Points

Long lasting, fairly waterproof, easy to apply & absorbs quickly. No sticky feeling. Available in SPF 8. Easy to find worldwide.

Bad Points

Fairly expensive.

General Comments

I tan well & quickly but since an unfortunate encounter many years ago with a PABA-based sunscreen, have a tendency to come out in red, raised bumps unless I use a sunscreen designed for sun-induced allergies. Piz Buin stops this, and as I can get it in SPF 8 I can continue with my usual tanning routine. I've also successfully used Simple Sunscreen (allergy formula) but it's not easy to find abroad if I run out, whereas Piz Buin is available everywhere.
