Calypso All School Day Long with SP40 Review: Works better than typical USA sunscreens - I was looking for something that’ll last all day without reapplying because my Pre-K got sunburned (face peeling :( ) and is too young to understand to reapply and teachers don’t help with that. Obviously reapplying is ideal but we can only do our best. This one is water resistant, advertised to last 8 hours, and no white cast once you rub it in. It smells like coconut cake (my kid love sweets so he’s totally ok with it) and it doesn’t have a greasy feel, but it does feel a bit tacky. I would say better than typical white cast American sunscreens but not as good as the Asian ones (though I question how well it works when the kid sweats a ton). This is pricey since it’s an Australian brand (doesn’t seem to be sold locally to USA) but I’d say this one is perfectly functional and so far I’ve used it for a week and no issues so I’m happy with it. Definitely need soap / cleanser to wash it off. Water will definitely not cut it! For comparison, blue lizard has a ton of white cast! This is easier to rub on! Review: All Day Sunscreen! - I love that this is all day sunscreen. I wish USA brands made this sort of formula, but glad I can get some of the Europe ones like this one over here for my kids and I.

All Day Sunscreen!
I love that this is all day sunscreen. I wish USA brands made this sort of formula, but glad I can get some of the Europe ones like this one over here for my kids and I.

Good for face sunscreen
Very light weight for face sunscreen, and soaks in wonderfully. Wore it under primer and makeup and it did pretty great. I have sensitive skin and acne prone skin and it didn’t break me out at all, doesn’t sting eyes either.

Great suncream, we've been using a different Calypso all day product (clear gel stuff) but the smell is horrendous, so I was pleased to find this with reviews saying it smelled nice. Smells sort of coconutty and fruity, kind of like sweets. It's very thick as other commenters state, but it goes on really well and sinks in, great to see where you've applied though as you go. I am basically transparent I'm so pale, my daughter is the same. We have not burned using this which is a huge thing for me! It works well for the whole family. We top up after prolonged water exposure so cant comment how water resistant it is.

Excellent sun cream for school & home. Doesn't stain clothes & smells nice. Very thick but spreads well on the skin. I like it & so does my daughter. About to order my next bottle after 2 months of regular use & no burnt child. Would 100% recommend

Best sun cream you can buy. It doesnt stain and once a day application is great. My daughter has never burnt with calypso. It is thick to apply but dries very quickly. Highly recommend

Amazing stuff, smells fantastic and last all day. The only downside is it's rather thick and almost sticky feeling, so you will need to wash your hands after applying to your skin.

Cream very thick but once warmed up on your hand it's easier to apply. Works all day at school, kids have never got sun burnt wearing this. Bit pricey but you get what you pay for here.
