Piz Buin Sun Cream By Jennifer Kennedy on Jul 01, 2009 - Updated Oct 15, 2011

My cousin bought two bottles of this sun cream as it was on offer, I think they cost around £8.00 each, anyway she give me one, I was a bit skeptical because the bottles that she lifted was only factor 4, but I tried it anyway and found that I have nothing to complain about.

Packaging

The bottle is brown with a flip lid and on the front it says UVA - UVB Protection, at the back it tells me that this sun screen is a low protecting cream. (the reason I was skeptical) the bottle is 200ml. like with all sun creams this should be applied 20 minutes before going in to the sun! it should also be re-applied frequently.

The cream

The cream is white in color and the smell is quite nice, the smell is quite strong, in my opinion this sun cream has a slight smell of coconut, although once applied to the skin the smell soon fades. When appling the cream not a lot is needed, a small drop does go a long way. I have been using this cream for the past two or three weeks (weather permitting) and I still have about quarter of a bottle left, thats using it on three kids!

Does Piz Buin Work?

Yes! I tried it on myself before I would try it on the kids, (I put other sun cream on them) and I have to say I was well impressed, I didn't burn at all. So I felt more confident to then try it on the kids, I did put the cream on them and kept a close eye on them to make sure they were not burning, it worked on them too!

Conclusion

To be honest I didn't expect this sun cream to do the job it did, but I was proved wrong. I will continue to use this brand of sun cream in the future, it really is worth the money. Highly recommended!
