SPF lower than labeled

歐珀萊等防曬系數'打折'

The Sun Protection Factor (SPF) values of some suntan lotions are far less than their advertised values, according to test results from the Chinese Consumer Association, the Legal Evening News reported Tuesday. Some products of name-brands selling in the Chinese market, such as Aupres, Avon, Doctor Li and Ponds, have been found with SPF values less than half the values claimed. Generally speaking, the higher the SPF of a sunblock, the better the protection.

據《法制晚報》1日報道，中消協公布了市場上防曬化妝品比較試驗結果。歐珀萊、雅芳、李醫生、旁氏等品牌的部分產品出現了SPF實測值不足標稱值一半的情況。SPF是"防曬系數"的英文縮寫，一般來說，防曬霜SPF值越高，防曬效果越好。
