Calypso Once a Day Sun Protection Lotion with SPF 10

Product Information

Use in the water - Calypso warns that even ‘water-resistant Once A Day sunscreens’ can still be washed off if you spend a long time in the water, or if you dry yourself with a towel. Brands aren’t allowed to make 'once a day' claims on sunscreen in Australia, due to concerns they give people a false sense of security, but there's no such restriction in the UK. My daughter used this following instructions carefully and ended up burnt on the first day (only day) of using. The hottest it's been when I've used the P20 has been around 45 in the shade and I was out walking for a few hours in the early afternoon (I cope with the heat well) in an area with no shade and I didn't burn. I used P20 and tanned, I then found calypso OAD, for a test I did half left side with P20 and right side with Calypso, I did this for 3 days in Spain, there was no difference, I was protected the same by both.

I tan easily, and don't usually burn in the UK, so when I go to the Med in September I'm usually fairly well tanned already. Unlike traditional sunscreens that require re-application on a regular basis, Calypso Once A Day can be applied only once and will protect your skin from harmful sun radiation. Professor Brian Diffey, of BAD, says: 'We recommend against relying on any sunscreen product for long periods without reapplication, whether advertised as an extended wear product, or not.

We would always recommend reapplying your sun protection if you’ve been in the water for a long time, have been sweating excessively or after towelling. We asked Boots a series of questions about its Once sun cream range and asked it to respond to our concerns about 'once a day' claims. For the time I have used it I've not had any problems and my advice to anyone using it is to follow the instructions on how to apply.

We've raised concerns about this before, and it's disappointing to see leading brands still pushing family versions of these products. For my holiday in Portugal I knew I’d be out and about in the sun a lot and getting involved in water activities so I really wanted a sun lotion that would keep me protected through the day, which I didn’t have to worry about reapplying every hour. Yes my skin has a tendency to tan quickly and I don’t burn that easily but that doesn’t mean my skin isn’t at risk of sun damage.

It is very good but i read an article in the daily mirror highly recommending calypso once a day and 2 year ago ive tried it.Use in the water - Claims to maintain 'intact' protection levels even after 4 x 20 minute sessions in the water. The range consists of five products ranging from SPF10 to SPF50+ and we recommend our Once a Day SPF40 for kids as it is suitable for their delicate skin. And after that, he adds, re-apply at least every two hours - and immediately after swimming, sweating or towel drying.

Apply evenly and generously to all exposed areas 15 minutes before sun exposure, then rub in well to allow the product to bind with the skin and form a protective film against UVA and UVB rays. I've never been brave enough to try using this for the full day while on holiday in sweltering hot sun and have applied sun cream after 6 hours to be on the safe side. I tried Calypso and didn't get burnt but my skin felt as though it was burning during the day so I went back to P20 spf20.

Most purchases from business sellers are protected by the Consumer Contract Regulations 2013 which give you the right to cancel the purchase within 14 days after the day you receive the item. Apply evenly and generously 15 minutes before sun exposure, which will allow the product to bind to your skin. Since our 2016 investigation, the CTPA has advised brands to voluntarily stop making 'once a day' claims and move towards using the word 'durable' instead. But take a look at the small print on the back of the bottle, and it becomes clear that these all day protection claims come with a list of crucial caveats. Boots Soltan Kids Once, Calypso Once a Day and Riemann P20 Once a Day are among the brands we've found claiming to offer all day protection.
