Consumer testing found that one cheaper cream 'outshone' other more expensive brands
Sun worshipers are being advised to avoid a certain brand of suncream after it failed testing by a consumer watchdog. Which? testers compared various sunscreens to see which offered the best protection and found that one "did not come close to hitting its claimed SPF30".
According to results, Avon's Refreshing 3-in-1 Face and Body Sun Lotion SPF3 came out last, as it "did not offer adequate sun protection" as advertised, reports Birmingham live. "Our advice is to stick to a tried and tested sun cream. Do not be fooled into thinking that paying a higher price will definitely mean a better or safer product as our testing proved a supermarket own brand product can do the job well."
