I do use Ultrasun all year, although I can’t stand Abi so just buy the version that I know suits my skin without listening to her drone on in her patronising manner. However, I’ve also tried her Skin Sense stuff and it did no more for my skin than the cheaper stuff I use.
She also believes that she’s now a scientist, just because she stuck on a white coat on for an Ultrasun trailer but I’ve no doubt that her minions are the ones that have created her brand.
I have been using Ultrasun face 30 on and off for a few years. On our holidays to hot countries my face has never once burnt. I use it at home during the summer but stop now and again if I try other cheaper brands that claim to have spf. Ultrasun face isn't just a sun cream, it's an anti-aging moisturiser and I have come to the conclusion that it's the best daily moisturiser for my skin. I bought botanics hydrating cream spf 15 from Boots which I though was OK but it has clogged my skin. The other brands I tried weren't much cop either so it's back to Ultrasun every day.
I have been buying from Amazon or QVC depending on which has the better value. I have no interest in Abi's new brand. I don't have much interest in her either.
Thanks Nellie, you just helped me get a bargain! When reading this thread it reminded me that I needed some more ultrasun face30 so I just looked on qvc and amazon to compare prices. Qvc are charging £34 for two 50ml bottles but I only want one bottle and once it's converted to euros and add postage it would be too much. I got a single bottle from Amazon with free postage for under £20.
From the reviews I gather that Ultrasun Face has changed the formula
Please bring back the old ultrasun formula! This now contains Salicylates and grape extract, both of which I am allergic to. The old formula was the only sun protection I could use, even right up around the eyes with no problems, and it was fantastic! The amazing thing about Ultrasun used to be that it didn’t use the ingredient that every other bog standard suncream brand does ... Ethylhexyl Salicylate... now every single one of your products has it in! Please, please give your customers the option to at least buy one tube of ultrasun that is the same formula that we knew, loved and were able to use for many years previously
She had the pick of the month last month, this month she’s got the supersize of the month and she’s had a TSV a couple of days ago. 🙄
In the past, we got a breather from her in the winter but now the drafted woman is on all year because of SkinSense.
I can’t stand her now, to be honest, and I’m as much of an expert as she is about suncream because I know her spiel off by heart having heard it so often.
The bonus is that I rarely watch QVC now because it’s become like the Groundhog channel - same pigging items on a continuous loop. 😳
I suppose we could be seeing her so often because some of their other products are not being made currently or the people who plug them are not prepared to venture into a crowded studio etc.
I watched a video clip of an item the other day and Julia Roberts forgot all about social distancing and was cosying up to the guest as normal - she moved very fast for a woman with her leg in a cast* so must have got short shrift in her ear piece.
