Calypso Once a Day Serum SPF50+, Serum with Vitamin C for Face and Neck, for Sensitive Skin. Very High Sun Protection. UVA + UVB Primer.

Used on vacation to turkey, I usually tan well, used this every day and had a nice even tan only using once per day so seems to do what it says.

Being, well used to be, blonde, I found that being bald/shaved, I suffered from a sun burned head. I used a P40, once a day, oil type, this dried on, giving no moisturizing properties. I tried this product, despite the quantity being half of the other, for around the same price, it seems really economical. I used it once a day, half an hour before going out, it rubbed in easily, leaving my skin soft and smooth. I was in sunshine, in 32° 'ish, with no burning, very little stinging in my eyes. No reaction at at all on my sensitive skin, no blocked pores, or spots. Really impressed with this product, I've ordered two more, even though the original still has some left after two weeks of continuous use. I never reapplied in the day, even though I was going in the sea, snorkeling, or in and out of the pool all day, trying to cool off. I recommend this product!

Price + no white residue. Quality face sunscreen

👍

I tried this product as a possible daily SPF usage in my skincare routine, however it did sting my eyes. This didn't occur immediately, after being out and about for 15 minutes or so my eyes started to water and sting, this continued for a few hours. It was definitely thhlis product as I wasn't wearing makeup or anyofher products. Additionally, another Calypso suncream product I've used before would affect me the same way so I'm pretty sure it's the fragrance and something in there that bothers me. Apart from the stinging, the pump applicator is great and it feels silky smooth and the skin and absobs nicely.

Would recommend buying

This sunscreen is a must for everyday use on the face and neck. It has all day protection, a serum like feel (light and not thick like conventional sun cream), and if you leave it for 5 or 10 minutes to absorb, as you would with any day cream, liquid and powder foundation go on perfectly without balling. If your skin is super oily (mine is!) I would recommend a setting powder over this. Didn't get burnt over summer and I use retinol too so it's very important that the sunscreen does it's job. And remember; always apply generously or it simply won't work, as is the case with every single sunscreen.

Seems ok in terms of absorbency, I did not have any reactions and my skin usually gets a lot of pimples, etc if a product doesn’t agree with me. I can’t speak for the UV protection yet as we’re nearly in May and we didn’t have a single sunny day so far!It isn’t really water resistant as instructions specify to reapply after a swim, so not sure why it says it is resistant, a little confused by that… therefore if we’ll go for a beach holiday this year, I’ll be taking a different cream with me and use this one every day application.
