Anybody used ebay to buy suncream before?

Hey, I'm going away in a few weeks and I've noticed that good sun cream is fairly expensive in the shops, I can find decent brands loads cheaper on ebay all from people with really good feedback, but i have to ask myself; how so cheap? skin care isn't something i really want to take a risk on.

So, would you buy sun cream from ebay? any horror stories about bottles actually being filled with a mixture of man juice and mustard?

cheers.

There's a risk of catching aids but aside from that I'm sure it'll be fine.

Boots might still be doing 2for1 on suncream, have a look; may work out cheaper than the internet.

As said just find the 2 for 1 offers. They are always about, just have a look around.

It depends could be fakes, could be old sock(most only last 2-3years), could just be a bargain.

Also depending on where you're going, it might be cheaper to buy it when you get there. I bought some before going to Miami a few months ago and thought it was so expensive, and they had the same stuff there for so much cheaper.

Then don't!

spend the extra few pounds, which you probably wouldn't save due to postage and just buy some from a shop!

Just as important is a good moisturiser to apply before bed as this will help the skin recover.

you checked the local supermarket? about £2.99 a bottle for the decent brands. unless you are an albino i think you will be ok with any

Boots have 2for1 on Piz Buin once a day, which is excellent, so you get 400ml (2 x 200ml bottles) for £20. If you have a Wilkinsons near you they are even better at the moment, they have 2for1 on the 100ml bottles so you get 200ml for the princely sum of £5.50, or 4 bottles for £11........

Suncream on ebay? Are you mental?

People sell fake batteries, razors, games, CDs, clothes on ebay. I'm sure someone has figured out how to make fake suncream, even if it's just Dulox brilliant white gloss in a bottle.

Just say no.

Bought my Rieman P20 from ebay, just got back from holiday with a nice golden tan.

So no issues here.
