    Interestingly, Aldi suncream performed better than some much more expensive brands in this recent consumer test. There's also a recent thread about this in the Beauty forum here.

    SPF is a tested calculation, any 50 SPF product has to meet minimum standards - so either you didn't apply it properly, didn't use the right type (went swimming with one that washes off) or stayed out all day in which case nothing will be useful. The middle one is far and away the most common. If its not waterproof, its going to wash off.

    I was using top of the range sun creams for my family for 15yrs of sun holidays to Spain.

    This year we bought Lidl sun cream in a Lidl store in Spain and it was sane product as Irish Lidl shops sell.

    Anyway it was brilliant worked fantastic on all the family. I had bought two different strengths was extremely impressed with quality and value.

    Seen a shelf full of half price sun cream in Dunnes the other day, in Castlebar but I'm sure other stores will have the same offer.

    Most people do not realise that any SPF only protects you for a specific length of time.

    So, if without applying SPF your skin would burn after 5 minutes of exposure, then using SPF 30 will mean you get the same amount of damage in 150 minutes.

    You cannot just re-apply after those 150 minutes and expect to start again from zero exposure.

    Not your ornery onager

    Must be the user's fault. My wife is Spanish is more religious about sunscreen than the pope is about Catholicism.
    It was uesd all the time we had 4 bottles of the stuff

    What she was worried about was when my 2 year old was getting red seen as tho she was the reason we bought the factor 50 in the first place.

    Switched I nivea while over there and problem stopped.

    Im not on here trying to bash aldi I shop there every week but I found the cream not good.
