Review: Brilliant - Brilliant sun protection for autistic kids. It dries fast and lasts 8 hours, so minimises their discomfort as you won'r need to reapply so often. I've been using this for 3 years now and wouldn't go back to regular stuff. Its fab for men too and I'm allergic to cream based sun creams. It works better than P20 in my opinion. Dries faster and fades gradually so you feel the telltale tingle and know to reapply before it's totally expired.
Review: Only brand I’ll use. P20 without the price tag! - I’ve never burnt. Lasts all day. I do top up halfway through day due to towel rubbing or swimming (just in case ) it’s soooo good and reasonable too. My daughter is fair and wears 50+, then drops to 40+, 30+ on legs near end of week. She no longer burns. I use 20+

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is this reef friendly?**
A: That is a question for the seller, I have googled it and I would say it probably is reef friendly but not sure

**Q: Is this a spray or pour on cream please?**
A: Not a cream. Not a spray. I have used the factor 20 for years and had no problems with it. One bottle will provide my body with 4 days of application - I am slim build and 6ft tall, just make sure you apply it well to ensure full coverage. I am a naturist so I apply it ALL OVER! It is also much cheaper than other 'ONCE A DAY' products. I highly recommend it.

**Q: Can the Calypso factor 20 (i.e. the gel type material) be used on the face?**
A: I use it on my face and have never been burnt

**Q: Can this be used on the face?**
A: Yes it can.  My husband has skin allergies and this is the one sun protection he is able to use.  On the very odd occasion that he has been caught out in the sun without using it, his nose has burned very quickly, so we KNOW it works brilliantly. He normally puts it on all exposed areas in the morning after his shower and it lasts all day.  He spends a lot of time outdoors in the summer.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Not greasy at all - Super smooth
*by F***T on 6 August 2025*

bought Calypso Once a Day Sun for a recent beach holiday, and I was really impressed with how well it performed. I applied it in the morning before heading out, and it kept me protected all day — no need to constantly reapply like with some other sunscreens. The texture is lightweight and not greasy at all which makes it a big hit with children. It absorbs quickly and doesn't leave that sticky, shiny layer on your skin. I used it on both my body and face with no irritation, and the scent is mild and pleasant. I spent most of the day in and out of the water, and even after swimming and sweating, I didn’t get burnt (though I did reapply on very hot days just to be safe — especially after towel drying, as recommended). It’s become a go-to for me and my family, especially on days out, hikes, or festivals where reapplying constantly is a hassle. Great value, solid protection, and one less thing to worry about during the day.
