General Comments
Both my partner and I were burnt using a counterfeit product claiming to be Calypso Sun Care Cream.
The way to check if your bottle is legitimate is:
Linco (Calypso) logo and application directions etc are printed on the bottle!
Where as the counterfeit bottle has stick on labels back and front.
Linco (Caylpso) top has a smooth edge top.
The counterfeit top is scored down the length.

My new stock from Linco Care Ltd Manchester has a single label that wraps the bottle. The Cap is smooth.

so you were sold and used a fake product.... why then review it as if it was the real one? you have made sure that the product is now at a lower reivew level because you had not used an "original" product?
<br/>
<br/>i am sorry you had problems but you should not have reivewed as Calypso!

Linco did have an issue a couple of years back when their customers in Cyprus were getting hold of imitation products from somewhere else. This was quickly rectified.

<br/>Most of the products so have the designs printed straight onto the bottle, however with a few products the designs are printed onto labels, this is most likely due to the bottles being used for more than one product.
