CalypsoOnce a Day Sun Protection Lotion with SPF 30, 200ml

I’ve been using the Calypso Once a Day Sun Protection Lotion SPF 30 for several weeks now, and it truly lives up to its promise of once-a-day protection. The lotion has a lightweight, non-greasy formula that absorbs quickly into the skin without leaving any sticky or white residue. It feels comfortable on my face and body even during hot, humid days.What I really appreciate is how long-lasting it is — I only need to apply it once in the morning, and it keeps my skin protected through outdoor activities without reapplication. This is a huge time-saver compared to other sunscreens that need frequent touch-ups. The broad-spectrum SPF 30 coverage gives me peace of mind against UVA and UVB rays, and my skin hasn’t shown any irritation or dryness since I started using it.The 200ml bottle is generously sized, making it great value for daily use, and the packaging is easy to squeeze and control so there’s minimal waste. The scent is subtle and pleasant, not overpowering like some other sun lotions.Overall, this product is ideal if you want effective, hassle-free sun protection for everyday wear. Whether you’re heading to work, the beach, or just spending time outdoors, Calypso’s once-a-day lotion keeps your skin safe and comfortable all day long.

My all time favourite suncream! This brand is AMAZING! I burn really easily and I’ve never ever burnt while wearing this. I’ve worn it for 3 months in America and when I was in Bali and didn’t burn once. Both times I was in and out of the water, doing activities and more. I would usually reapply at lunchtime, but never once did I burn so it’s a total win in my opinion (I was the only one that didn’t burn in Bali and I’m super pale). Would recommend this whole brand. It’s also really nice to apply and not sticky at all, don’t feel like you need to wash your hands after applying and not sticky on the skin once applied. My all time favourite and I’ve tried all sorts!My only concern is that it’s oily and probably not great for marine life, however it’s difficult to find a good suncream that’s also non-toxic.

I've used Calypso for four years. It does seem to last all day, even if you swim. It's easy to apply and soaks in quickly. I don't like the smell when I apply it but the smell doesn't stay at all - in fact it doesn't smell of anything once applied. I'll certainly keep on buying it although I often wonder what the ingredients are - on the label it's a long list of names I don't understand!

Brilliant, a little goes a long way and you really only have to use it twice a day in 30 degree heat. Sinks in well, not greasy and don’t need to reapply after swimming. Already bought more for next holiday

EDIT AND UODATE AFTER USING:So I said I’d update and give a review after I’d used it in the sun and I’m happy to say it stands up to its claims. I’ve had this on legs and arms, been out for bike rides and in the garden working all day in the sun and I’ve not burned once. So this is a definite 5 stars for me, cheap as chips and so elegant to put on, no grease or sticky residue and doesn’t make the hairs on my legs or arms sticky. I will be using this from now on. I adore Ultrasun but that’s at least double the price of this and this is just as good so this will now be my got to body sunscreen. I absolutely love it.Ok so this just arrived today. It’s absolutely throwing it down today here in the UK so can’t attest to the sun protection yet ( hence why only 4 stars and I’ll update when I’ve been out in the sun all day) but in terms of allegiance, applying and how it feels on the skin I can at least review as I’ve already tried it on my arms which are hairy ( I’m a guy 😂) and my face which I’m very fussy with in terms of sun protection as most feel tacky and greasy. No I’m a long time user in Ultrasun, used and loved them for years but the price is a little high, however for sun protection can we really put a price on it?I use their face 30 all the time and their sports gel for rest of my body. I have NEVER burned and only ever applied it once a day unless I’ve been swimming in the sea or a pool.It has never let me down, doesn’t feel greasy or tacky but sometimes the price can be a bit much when I’m having a bad week.I saw this yesterday as a once a day and though for 6 quid I’ll give it a go, didn’t know it was a clear liquid and thought if I don’t like it I’ll just use it up on my legs and not purchase it again.Omg, this has gone on like a dream, I’m a bit gobsmacked for the low price tbh. I really wasn’t expecting too much but WOW, I actually said Jesus Christ as I first applied it to my hairy arm. It glides right on and then just disappeared, no tacky, oily feeling, o sticky hairs and after like 5 minutes I can’t even tell there’s anything on my arms.I thought I’d give it a quick try on the face just to see and the same again, did feel a little more tacky at first than the arm but then boom, it’s gone, I could absolutely use this also as my face spf. So now all I need to do is test it out in the sun of course which is the main reason for using it. However I had to review already as I’m really impressed with how it’s applied, I’ve used loads of sun lotions, creams, oils in my 50 years and this is definitely one of the best in terms of how it sinks in to my skin.Now if this holds up in the sun then I think I’ll be changing over from my Ultrasun and buying this from now on. I really hope it gives the protection as I’m really impressed with the rest of it. Absolutely love it so far.❤️

I was slightly sceptical at first for the price but have been really surprised. It's my go to sun protection.Number one rule, make sure you've showered first otherwise it'll take any dead skin off and you'll just spread it around. When applying to your face, make sure you close your eyes and hold your breath as the alcohol used as a carrier will sting your eyes. When applying to hairy skin like legs, you'll need a bit more product but don't put it all in your hands at once, as it'll not spread well.This stuff really does last a long time but it can start to get a little greasy as the day goes on. After applying all over, the greasy residue can take a bit of washing to remove from your hands. It can stain white clothing, noticeable around collars etc.
