One formula, Marks and Spencer's Sun Formula Lotion, was found to provide an SPF less than half its advertised protection.

As a general rule, you cannot indiscriminately rely on any sunscreen to provide considerable protection against aging or skin cancer.

These facts are reflected in:

• current TGFA/FDA flaws in SPF calculation;
  
  
• the epidemic and spiraling incidence of skin cancer;
  
  
• the inability of the majority of even self-professed fervent sunscreen users to markedly and visibly prevent and reverse photoaging over time.

Typically, individuals use sunscreens which are inadequately protective both by virtue of their formulation (the responsibility or work of the manufacturer) and their application (the responsibility of the user, whom routinely applies around one fifth the required quantity).

A comparison of the photoprotective ability of 33 sunscreens from a range of makers including Decleor, Dermalogica, Clinique, Yonka, Pevonia, Ego, La Prairie, Jan Marini, Skinceuticals and IS Clinical is made in the Comparison of 33 Sunscreens Document.

Individuals should not generally and automatically rely on or expect considerable skin cancer or aging prevention just by possessing sunscreens.

The majority of people are using sunscreens with the impression that they are extremely effective (no matter which formula is chosen or how much is used), yet they achieve:

• little to no therapeutic prevention of skin cancer and skin aging;
  
  
• accelerated skin damage and no considerable photo-aging reversal on account of over-confidence in their sunscreen use and simultaneous use of photosensitizing medications or skin care products (in particular those containing Vitamin A, glycolic acid and plant extracts as aromatherapy);
  
  
• erythema or subclinical irritation from sunscreen chemicals ultimately more detrimental than protective.

Individuals living in Northern Australia, where UV is more intense, may do better to not use photosensitizing skin care if they are unable to verify their sunscreen use is beyond reproach.

Unfortunately, the latent benefits of regular sunscreen use remain largely theoretical.

Popular Hamilton sunscreens are always a poor choice.
