once a day sun protection

is there anything better than P20 ?

[Puggit]

Never found anything better. I believe P20 is the Riemann product, sold by a Danish company? It costs a considerable lot more than SP20, almost the same product - found in South Africa.

Unfortunately I've discovered that I'm allergic to it - over a couple of days I come up in massive rashes on my legs, arms, sides and underarms! A friend comes up in an immediate reaction - so test a small amount first

You can't beat P20 for ease of use, but I also use (not at the same time) Piz Buin Once-a-Day.

It's a traditional cream but rubs in easily. The stronger factors now only recommend a working 'day' as six hours though.

yes the riemann product. its not a bad price from costco.
i was just reading the difference between spf20 and 50 is 50 blocks an extra 3% of the suns rays as they put it so doesnt seem to offer that much more when 20 blocks 95% and 10 90%

Yes. "Piz Buin All Day Long" is significantly better, available in spf 15 or spf 30. Being of fair skin I've tried pretty much every sunscrean known to man. P20 is ok to put on but it stains clothes, Piz Buin is just as easy to put on soaks into the skin and has never resulted in any issues for me.

After using Piz Buin for the past few years I wouldn't dream of going back to P20.
