Two big brand sun creams from Garnier Ambre Solaire and Nivea – including one for kids – have failed 'Which?' sun protection tests.
Which? said: "We put 11 SPF30 adult sun screens and 4 SPF50+ kids sun creams to the test and were concerned to find two products that failed to live up to their SPF or UVA protection claims.
"Garnier’s Ambre Solaire Clear Protect Spray SPF30 (£7/200ml) failed our UVA test, while Nivea’s Kids Protect & Care SPF50+ Spray (£6/200ml) was found wanting when it comes to SPF protection – particularly concerning considering children’s skin is more at risk from the sun.
"After an initial fail result, we tested an extra sample of each of the sun screens and both failed again.
Which? have subsequently named those two products as 'Don't Buys', which means they reccomend you avoid them.
