Once a day suncream

Hoping for some advice please. Looking to get a once a day suncream for three very fair people going to Turkey in August. I have used p20 before but found it really stained our clothing? I’ve looked at Calypso but not use it before so any help or suggestions would be really appreciated. Thank you

None of them are good enough for just once a day applications. Just buy the normal one or if you want a one a day P20 but you’ll need to apply it more than once.

Also this is in AMA so you might not get many replies.

We've used it before and I seem to remember it being the same. DS is very fair and has just done a week hiking in 30+ degree heat and he used Altruist for the first time and said he didn't burn once and that it was amazing. He messaged me to tell me so must be good! We've been using it too in the garden and more than impressed so far.

Calypso is very good and does not stain. But I reapply it at least once. I am also v fair and never get burnt, but I also cover up and wear a hat. Calypso is quite harsh on the face so you’ll probably want a separate facial sunblock. Altruist is good.

I didn’t find P20 stains if you apply it naked to bare skin just after the shower and let it dry thoroughly before dressing. I’ve done this for triathlons etc it’s not the “nicest” for your face for normal days tho

My sister in law swears by ultrasun , it’s very expensive though . The sport one in particular she said doesn’t stain .
