Let customers speak for us
This sunscreen works brilliantly and doesn't cost the earth so I can be generous with the application. It gives me confidence that dermatologists formulated it and I respect them for their ethos. A rare product in this mercenary age.
Easy to use site with clear product descriptions. Payment process is fine and orders arrive quickly.
Love this as a light night moisturizer sometimes. Skin is calm when using it.
My skin looks well moisturized with this and is well protected. It doesn't irritate and skin feels smooth.
Excellent...great believer in Altruist products for the last 4 years !
Great product_ But sometimes the spray mechanism does not work
This is a great product that makes it very easy to apply sunscreen to my daughter. She even finds it fun. She's not a big fan of sprays, and it's easier to handle than a tube of cream.
The sunscreen product itself is fantastic as always.
Great product and reasonable price! Well done Altruist!
Love this spf
Light, absorbs easily and protects the skin beautifully
Quick and easy to apply. No greasy residue and all at a great price!
Really good sunscreen which feels good to apply and sinks in quickly.
Please make this in a 20l tube like the factor 30
Really excellent moisturiser!
I only wish it was always available and came in a large tub as well as the tube.
Fast dispatch and great packaging.
Lovely to use. Stops the shine, a perfect product. Also a bargain. My best ever buy. I can’t recommend it enough.
Quick and efficient ordering and delivery
