Piz Buin In Sun UVA-UVB Lotion

Last year in Morocco I used the Piz Buin F15 sun spray the last day of our holiday. By that evening my face began to burn and I was itching all over. By day 3 my face had swelled up so much that I couldn't see and the rash got worse all over my body, with the exception of the areas I had not used it. I was lying awake every night itching and burning and the allergy remained in my system for 3 weeks. I had at the time equated this to the swimming pool chemicals as I thought the pool may have been a bit dodgy. However, this year we went on holiday to Tenerife and sure enough after 2 days of using the same Piz Buin sun cream spray the itching returned and by day 3 I could barely leave my room as I was covered in an angry rash and my face had swollen to 3 times it's size. I had to cover up and wear dark glasses even when inside. It ruined my holiday. Again it remained in my system for 3 weeks and by the third week I am still itching although the rash and swelling has now dissipated. The doctor just prescribed some cream as he had no idea what it was. I have contacted Johnson and Johnson and they say they are 'investigating'. I was given £30 worth of postal orders by way of 'compensation'. I took a lot of photographs of my face and sent these to them. I'm waiting to see what happens next, if anything. Judging by the other reviews I have read about their sun car products it seems I am not alone. I am appalled that this is happening to so many. I hope that others read this and know they're not alone. Do NOT use their sun care products as I have read that their day long and special allergy sun creams have been having the same effect on others.

Having used Piz Buin before, I bought the In Sun oil free spray - 15 and 30 factor - to take on holiday. Luckily I decided to try it out before I went on holiday, as I developed a severe rash on my arms and legs - the only places where I had applied the lotion. Two weeks and two trips to the doctor later, I am still suffering. I have had to have a course of steroids and steroid cream, as well as anti-histamines, and the rash is still causing me discomfort. It was interesting to discover that I am not the only one to have suffered in this way. Could it be something to do with a new ingredient which has been added to this product? I have never reacted like this to a sunscreen before. I have written to Johnson and Johnson (who make the product) and await their reply.

I used factor 30 whilst on holiday in Spain, I came up with rashes and bumps all over my torso - I thought it was the chlorine in the pool and so avoided using the pool. I Came back to the UK and the rash was treated with antihistamines. I never thought it may have been the suncream because we had used it to good effect in the past. I am glad I saw these reviews before I bought another bottle !!

OMG I used this sun lotion for the first time and I have hundreds of pimples under my skin I have been to the docters and am now having to take seven steroids a day and piriton every 4hours I don't normally have sensitive skin and this is the first time I have ever had a reaction to anything.I advise anyone not to buy this suncream sensitive or not sensitive skin unless u want to risk getting this horrible rash.I've now been on tablets for 5 days and no improvement.

Used UVA/UVB lotion on first day of holiday 2 weeks ago and came out in terrible rash all over including face,eyes were swollen.had to have strong antihistamines,ruined our holiday.

Used In Sun Radiant Face and immediately developped a bad allergic reaction - itchy, dry and feels like thousands of little pimples under my skin. Has been two weeks already, and still not much better, even with E45 cream. Am off to docs tomorrow, thanks Piz Buin, my face is a state!Definitely is due to this cream as I only have this reaction on my face, and haven't changed any other part of my skincare regime....

Bought the Piz Buin tan instensifier in 15 and have come out in a horrible rash of tiny little pimples all over my arms and stomach. It's not itchy but feels shocking. It feels like hundreds of tiny bumps under my skin as well as ones I can see on surface. Have always used Piz Buin products and have had no problems in the past.

Nice packaging, easy to apply using the spray, rubs in easily, has a nice smell. Works! Nice smell, easy to use, does the job.

No bad points what so ever

Def recommend. I am going on holiday for the first time in four years and went to my local chemist to buy sun cream. It was horrendously expensive. I searched the web and found chemist direct which has saved me a fortune on Piz Buin suncream which is £7.00 cheaper than the price I looked at in the shop. I made the order and it arrived the next day " it was easy and cheap.

An excellent cream for all day protection. I did not burn it did what it said on the bottle. I usually apply before going out in the morning and use a moisturiser to keep my skin soft and hydrated throughout the day. I have always found Piz Buin products good and I think you would only burn if you did not follow the instructions properly. The all day lotion is a very good product, just make sure you apply it and let it bond to your skin prior to getting dressed and going out.

Also it is worth noting that you will burn with any product if you apply it whilst out in the sun, you need to let it absorb before going out. With a normal lotion you should put it on in doors in large quantities and give it 20 mins before getting dressed.
