Hi Sam,
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback – I'm really sorry to hear that your experience with the ASAP SPF 50+ Ultimate Defence hasn’t lived up to your expectations, especially after enjoying the Moisturising Defence.
This sunscreen does have a slightly stronger scent than other ASAP products, which can come down to the high level of active UV filters and antioxidants in the formula. However, it shouldn’t smell unpleasant or "off", so if you’re concerned that it may have expired, I’d recommend checking the batch number or expiry date on the packaging. If you’re unsure, feel free to send us a photo and we can help check it for you.
It’s disappointing to hear you’ll be discarding it, and I completely understand your frustration. Please know your feedback is incredibly valuable – I’ll pass this on to the team at ASAP.
If you’d like help finding an alternative sunscreen that’s more suitable for you, I’d be more than happy to recommend one.
