Calypso Dry Oil Wet Skin with SP30

Always use this sun screen. The other half likes it to.

My go to sunscreen. I’ve got really sensitive skin and never get on well with thick sun creams like Garnier, Soltan and Niviea , they usually irritate my eczema. I’ve used this now for about 4yrs and I’ve never had a problem. It goes on wet but once it’s rubbed in it soaks into the skin and dries with no sticky, greasy residue left behind. I’ve used it at the beach too and the sand doesn’t stick to it like other creams. I work in a school and spend long periods of time outside so have to apply regularly and still doesn’t feel like I’m wearing any.

It's a good product over all and it works well. Easy to apply lasts ages too. Creams just don't work for me - I burn like they're not there at all, and I have quite hairy arms which doesn't work well with cream either, so I have to go for this. But any review that says it's not greasy is lying to be honest. Okay so it's not like covering yourself in veggie oil, and it does absorb better than a lot of creams, as well as being better than any other dry oil type protection I've tired, but it does leave an oily film which can transfer to other things for quite some time and it also can stain clothing. Smells very strongly of coconut, which is nice if you're on the beach but annoying anywhere else. Not perfect, but it really does work well!

Beautiful smell. Rubbed in well with no staining of clothes. Highly recommend

This for me is the best sun cream i have used.Drys very quickly and does not run into your eyes when sweating.

Nice product, not too greasy.

I have skin that burns very easily so I am always looking for effective products to prevent sunburn. For my body I use Calypso Once a Day SPF30 and SPF20 which has always worked for me. Unfortunately the Once a Day product isn't good for my face: it tends to run into my eyes when I am in the sun and perspiring. I tried Calypso once a day cream SPF40 For Kids which worked but left me looking pale and was also a bit heavy for my skin.I then saw this product and decided to give it a try and I am glad I did. On our annual trip to Thailand this was an important item to protect my face and I have to say it was perfect. Easy to apply, fairly light and absorbed quickly. I didn't burn once despite not applying this Dry Oil more than 3 times a day. I should add that I rarely venture into the sunshine during the danger hours although this year I did on a number of occasions. I made sure that I applied the lotion before going into the sea and even after 30 minute sessions I never burned. A new 'Must Have' sun protection item for me. An added bonus for me is that my skin on my face felt really good all day: no tightness at all and it was like I'd moisturized.It smells like sun protection on application but that soon goes-not an unpleasant smell at all. The important thing is this stuff worked perfectly on my fair skin and I have used less than 20% so it is economical too: only used it for my face so you will use a lot more for whole body protection than I did.Thanks Calypso, another life changing sun protection product for me. If you are fair skinned you will understand that statement: for us it is always a Pfaff going out in the sun if we don't want to get burned. Just use it as often as you need it to be safe.
