Avoid!!!
Severe allergic reaction on areas of skin I used this product on. DO NOT USE this product!!! I have tried using antihistamine to get rid of itching and discomfort but it’s resistant to that. Early in my holiday and have no idea how long it will last

A Wonderful Product.
This is amazing. Highly recommend. Put on before you go to the beach or pool to get the best coverage. The only block I’ll buy. Good price. Arrived quickly. The only sunblock that works on my pale skin. This is a great moisturizer, provides great protection, smells nice, and is not greasy. I use it on my face every day to both moisturize and protect. It does not make me break out or have shiny, oily skin. It is a wonderful product.

Dont Buy This Product, It Will Ruin Your Holiday
After 3 days of use I am now covered in an itchy rash. The rash is developing into pustules/blisters and is extremely uncomfortable. Avoid Piz Buin like the plague, it's awful and will ruin your holiday. I will be complaining to J&J when I get home....
Rash From Head To Toe
Used this for four days, now have a rash everywhere it's been applied. Nothing is helping. Will never use again. Face is swelled up and it's extremely itchy.
Sorry struggling with pain not rain lol
Nightmare suncream Avoid! I used this and have been covered in the most painful itchy rash for a week now. Nothing eases it, I have missed work and I am struggling with the rain. It's like prickly heat only 100 times worse. Please share this on social media so that no one puts it on their children. Johnson and Johnson should be deeply ashamed not hiding behind excuses!

Never Again!
I got to 40 years without ever suffering an allergic reaction to anything, until last week when, unusually for Blighty, it was too sunny to go outdoors unprotected. I slathered on the Piz Buin and went about my gardening. I didn't burn, so I suppose that's a plus, but I've had a severe itchy rash (contact dermatitis?) for days. Interesting that the manufacturer says that this only happens to 0.01% of people using their product. I think they ought to have a glance at review sites such as this, and think again about their figures.

Fantastic!!
Piz Buin products are my favourite. They go on easily and give the necessary protection. used to use their shower gel years ago as well after sunbathing and it was brilliant.

Excellent Product!
Myself and my family have been using this product for years and found it to be the best one ever. It isn't sticky or greasy and works really well. My youngest daughter would re-act quite badly to some things but has never had an issue with this product. I think you just have to go by trial and error. Certain products work for some people & don't for others but that's true of all things. Just because you reacted badly to it doesn't make it a bad product overall just not the right one for you. In my opinion the best sun cream I have ever used & will continue to use.

Ruined My Skin
I used this product in Italy after being there the previous week using a different product. After applying the skin on my neck/ chest felt irritated but I thought it was the sun so applied some more protection. My skin continued to worsen that day so kept the area covered only to find that my skin absolutely erupted in to red risen blister type sores !!! The redness worsened even though I stayed out of the sun - the irritation was unbearable. After about three months it was a lot better; but even now, after nearly 3 years it takes very little for the area to become irritated - I can definitely not apply perfume to the area.
If only I had known the consequences of using this product. Have even tried the allergy cream but this produced a similar burning sensation.
Do not risk ruining your holiday or your skin with these products.

Makes Sun Bathing Easy To Do
Have no problems. One application and set for the day. Goes on easy with no allergic reaction for me or my wife. Just wish they did more that factor than 15 or 30. A 10 or 7 would be good. Used in France, Itally, Maldives, US great.
Q&A
Hi, I use this product myself and find it very good. I'm just wondering whether it is ok to use on a 1 year old? He has red hair therefore very fair skin.
Last year the product was on watchdog and this morning after some people had horrific reactions. I would check if the product still has the ingredient that 1 in 10 people are allergic too. I would look for something that does not have these it in. 3 of us on holiday were badly affected by this product not worth the risk and Johnson and Johnson really did not think there was an issue.
Last week, the sun cream featured on the BBC's Watchdog show after producers were inundated with health complaints about it.
Leading dermatologist Dr Ian White, of St John's Institute of Dermatology in London, said two of the cream's ingredients could be the reason for the severe reactions he had seen.
He said his organisation had demanded urgent action into the safety of one of the chemicals used in Piz Buin, C30-38 Olefin/Isopropyl Maleate MA Copolymer, two years ago.
He also claimed that one in 10 of the patients he now sees were allergic to another active ingredient in the cream - Methylisothiazolinone.
