I have recently been on holiday to Zante, and as you can imagine, a week before the holiday had to go out and buy all of the holiday necessities.
So off i went to my local high street with my list at the ready, not looking forward to the steam that was about to rise from my credit card, when i went into superdrug. The item that i was in here looking for was sun tan lotion.
It is common knowledge that these sun protections are very over priced and can cause a dent in your wallet, so i was not suprised to see bottles of lotions for around £16.00 per bottle.
Then as i had selected a bottle and was prepared to give my student overdraft a hammering, i saw another make on the top shelf. The make was called Deplh. I had never heard of this product before but was shocked at the price.
This lotion was in a pack with two suntan lotion factors in one bottle, (i purchased factor 8 and 15) and a massive bottle of aftersun for free. The cost of this pack was £2.95! I was amazed. I was a bit weary about using this product as it was so much cheaper than the rest, but i thought i would take the chance.
Before i went on holiday i found information about this product in the free superdrug magazine and found that this product is used mainly by the army, which is why the costs have been minimised. So i went on holiday with confidence thinking that if it is good enough for the army, it is definately good enough for me!
The lotion itself was as good as any other that i have tried before, but the aftersun was slightly hard to rub in, but i think this was down to applying too much!
All in all, i would definately use this product again, as it does the job it is intended for and is so much cheaper than the others on the market. A great product for skint people like me!

I think this is essentially good opinion, but I would like to know more about the lotion itself, besides the price. How does it smell? What is the packaging like? Also, I know this is really picky, but the word "I" should be capitalised- you're talking about yourself, and you're important, so be a capital! I hope this is helpful, please let me know if you make any changes and I'll re-rate. Christine

It has been proved in clinical tests - that many of the cheaper sun-lotions are just as, if not more so effective than their more expensive counterparts. Sue

I will have to watch out for this next time I want some sun lotion.
