Suncream warning as shoppers told not to buy well-known 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".

Testers also found that one of the cheapest creams "outshone" its more costly counterparts, with Asda's own brand sunscreen being named victorious. Each cream faced two rounds of consumer testing, with factors like protection and absorption taken into consideration.

According to results, Avon's Refreshing 3-in-1 Face and Body Sun Lotion SPF30 came out last, as it "did not offer adequate sun protection" as advertised, reports Birmingham live.
