Piz Buin products are my favourite. They go on easily and give the necessary protection. used to use their shower gel years ago as well after sunbathing and it was brilliant.

Myself and my family have been using this product for years and found it to be the best one ever. It isn't sticky or greasy and works really well. My youngest daughter would re-act quite badly to some things but has never had an issue with this product. I think you just have to go by trial and error. Certain products work for some people & don't for others but that's true of all things. Just because you reacted badly to it doesn't make it a bad product overall just not the right one for you. In my opinion the best sun cream I have ever used & will continue to use.

This is fantastic have used it for years in UK and foreign climates it's been great and I would recommend to everyone I took the silly decision this year to try Ultrasun once daily for face factor 30 and glimmer body factor 20 it cost me a fortune at the airport I believed the hype it is the only year I have ever burnt I will never deviate from Piz Buin ever agin!!

Have no problems. One application and set for the day. Goes on easy with no allergic reaction for me or my wife. Just wish they did more that factor than 15 or 30. A 10 or 7 would be good. Used in France, Itally, Maldives, US great.

I was given a tube of this suncream a few years ago and tried it and thought it was great. Since then I only use this cream when going on holiday. Myself, my husband and our 3 kids (ages 9,8,3) all use this suncream and thinkg it is brilliant. The kids have beautiful golden/olive tans and none of us have ever had sunburn whilst using this cream. We start with factor 30 and gradually reduce to Factor 10. As my kids are in an out of the water a lot , I do reapply later in the afternoon, I don't know if this is necessary or not but I would rather be safe than sorry. We also all use the Factor 30 and Factor 15 face creams you can get. None of us have ever suffered from any allergic reaction to the cream. Like all chemically made products some people will suffer from reactions which is why most creams and colourants advise to do a sky patch test rather than apply all over the body.

After reading all the reviews i was concerned myself as had bought the lotion for my holidays. Just returned a few days ago. So thought would do a few patch tests on face and body. No reaction. Used the all day long spf 15. I used this product throughout scorching temperatures and this cream has been the best i have used to date. I didn't burn and have an amazing tan. I don't tan that well but i did this time. Really happy with product. A patch test first to be sure. I also purchased the pizza buin after Sun tan intensifying lotion. I haven't peeled yet and this too is an excellent Cream. My skin is quite dry normally. Don't be put off by bad reviews. We all have different skin. Not water resistant. But i didn't burn mind as always re applied anyway when been in pool.

considering my sensitive skin, i use this cream regularly and find that nothing compares. i don't ususlly write rreviews but as this seems to be getting such bad press i felt compelled. i love piz buin 1 day long, the factor 15 stops me from burning without being greasy. as i am blonde i find many other creams don't make the cut. my advice is read the lable, test a small area as it says and if you are not allergic feel lucky because this cream works!

I really like this suncream, it was very easy to apply and did not remain tacky and greasy like other creams I have tried. I have very pale sensitive skin, and am allergic to numerous brands of suncream. I don't even get an itch with this. I use it on all three of my daughters, and one of them is allergic to almost everything! I can honestly say we have never burned when using it, I do always top up if I have been swimming etc, but I think that is just common sense. A little bit pricey but worth it for ease of use etc. I just look out for when it is on offer, and stock up for the season.

Myself, my husband and two daughters have used Puz Buin for over 6 years. We all have different skin types and have never had any problems. It provides excellent protection - we've never burnt and have been to some very hot countries. It is easy to apply and smells nice. We have used all types of the product ranging from SPF30 down to SPF15. I'd like to add that none of us have suffered any adverse reactions.

My husband and I have been using this for about the last 8 years and have never burnt. We always allow at least 30mins before we go out in the sun and get a gentle even tan during our holidays. I loved the spf 20 but this is discontinued so we start on the spf 15 and go down to spf 10 the second week if there isnt a heatwave. It smells lovely and spreads extemely well over the skin. Having read the other reviews-it seems most bad reactions come from the spf 30 so maybe thats where the problems lie.

For the last number of years myself and my husband use Biz Buin 1 Day Long lotion on 2 sun holidays a year and any bit of sun we happen to get at home. It is brilliant and we never burn. Our daughter, who is fairskinned and redhead was using other products and burned and blistered. She started using this a few years ago factor 30 and never looked back. She goes on adventure holidays, water rafting etc. and only uses it. Our problem is that we use Factor 10 1 day lotion or if available factor 8 but can get this nowhere!!!!!! We usually use at least 5 x 200ml per holiday (between the two of us. I have tried all the Boots around and even tried different websites but alas no mention of Factor 10 or 8 1 day Long Sun Cream Lotion. I would appreciate if someone from Biz Buin could let me know where I can obtain some. Going on holidays in less than 3 weeks getting despreate.

Have used this product now for over two years. It is absorbed really easily without leaving lasting residue. I have sensitive skin and do not tan but trust this product to protect me. If sun is really intense I would still apply twice a day, as a precaution more than necessity. Big fan of the 11ml sachets as you can put in bag/pocket just in case.

Amazing product, i go away for up to 5 weeks through December and January and small holidays throughout the year, never fails me and have used it for as long as i can remember... would not use anything else....

I am surprised that so many people are having problems with this cream. This is the first time i have used an all day cream and I thought it was brilliant. I put it on in the am, wore it in 30degree sunshine, in and out of pool, did not reapply, did not burn at all. No rash, no itch. I will definately be buying this again.

My 18yr old daughter had 2 separate holidays abroad. 1 week with friends, 1 week with her boyfriend, both to Greece in July and August. She came back the same colour as she went!! That was with factor 15, I honestly can say piz buin the BEST suncream I/we have ever used and would not use anything but. I have always used high factor on my children, this does 100% what it says on the bottle, brilliant!!!

As a family we love PIZ BUIN!!!!!!!!! we have used it for years, even on the kids, its great.! i have read some of the comments and SOME of those who have had a skin problem were prob suffering from prickly heat! (which is very painful and itchy) sun cream can block the pores and cause a skin reaction. we found this the first time we used 1 day application with our youngest son. we were recomended to use anti histamines a couple of weeks before the holiday and during, this stopped the problem straight away! THIS DOES NOT WORK FOR EVERYONE!! But it works brill for us.

are you kidding me? you read these reviews and your answer is prickly heat? you give your kid pills BEFORE you go on holiday just so you can use this suncream? for real? this suncream is at best a skin irritant and at worst a danger to those who use it. people...do not listen to this entry...you are not suffering prickly heat.
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!DO NOT EVER USE THIS PRODUCT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

absolutely loved this Piz Buin 1 Day Long Lotion. I used it in heat of over 90 degrees and stayed in the sun ( in the pool or sea mostly) during the hottest part of the day - and NEVER burned once.
I didn't have any reaction at all - highly recommend - best sun cream I've ever used. I used the SPF 30 by the way and got a lovely golden colour instead of the usual red peeling freckles I usually get.
And its in 100ml packaging so you can take 2 in your hand luggage.

Used various Piz Buin 1 Day Long Lotion from 8 to 15, & on many occasions & never failed to protect. Does exctly what it says on the packet! You definately only have to apply this product once & it works very well even after swimming etc! Would not use anythng else now

Just a pointer to those who have had a reaction to puiz buin 1 day long, like anything you put on your skin try on a small area first b4 you go on holiday.. would you take a huge mouthful of a food that you have never tried b4.. No!

I have 2 children, one is autistic and has sensitive skin doesnt like having lotion on and is in the water all day,not a good combination. But with this fantastic Piz Buin 1 Day Long Lotion all our problems are solved, apply generously after breakfast and thats it, after 20 mins ready to go. We use factor 30 never been burnt and doesnt stain clothes. We use to use P20 but it was such a hassle waiting 90 mins to dry, ruined lots of clothes, towels and bedding with staining. Would recommend this to all parents, for the whole family. Our 5th year of using it, wouldn't use anything else now. Great also when they are at school on a hot day, put it on before they get dressed and they, you or teachers dont have to worry about reapplication at lunch time.

have you tried the new recipe once daily type? It contains oxy benzone which many are allergic too. I was the same having tried wide rnge of products so was very surprised to suffer terrible rash with this type of Piz Buin. Just patch test...just in case.....

We haven't used the new recipe Once Daily type, but use the In Sun Moisturising Sun Lotion a lot, which also contains oxybenzone. I'm with you though on patch testing. Better to be safe than sorry....
