Have you ever wondered what the UK's most-shopped sun cream is? La Roche-Posay, Garnier and Ultra Violette all come to mind, but when it comes to the facial SPF category in both Boots and Superdrug, there's a clear winner: Bondi Sands Sunscreen Lotion SPF 50+ Fragrance-Free.
Coming in at £7.99, it also happens to be one of the more affordable SPF 50 formulas on offer. And with an ingredient list boasting broad spectrum UVA & UVB protection as well as vitamin E to nourish and add a glow, we can see why it's a favourite for year-round protection.
A scan of the Boots reviews, where many praise the bargain buy for not looking ashy even on dark skin tones, brings up plenty of glowing feedback from repeat shoppers. One happy user pens: "Loving this sunscreen. As a person with fragrance sensitivities it is such a relief to finally find an spf 50 that doesn't smell strongly of chemicals or perfume. It does not leave a white cast, cause breakouts or leave skin overly greasy. My skin actually just feels moisturised with this!".

Cheap and cheerful. Good for dark skin. Always come back for this," says another, while a third adds: "I really struggle with the texture of sun cream - it irritates eczema on my hands, so I often have to get someone else to apply sun cream for me. This one washes off my hands easily without leaving any sort of irritating film so I was able to apply my sun cream all week on holiday without irritation.".
