I hate buying sunscreen it's always so expensive and their is so many to pick from especially with a bunch of kids we tend to use a lot of it over summer. I found this one works well with no sunburn and no one has complained about it either. So over all it's a win win in our house

I am really sensitive towards the Sinai this really made my life a lot easier. I live in the sun in summer pretty much so this so my life line
I love it that its got higher spectrum (SPF50+) sun protection and that its reasonably priced and often on sale at retail outlets. The size of the bottle is generous as well so you can use it all summer long. but regrettably thats where it all stops for me. I find it very greasy and heavy to wear AND it gives your skin a off whitish sheen which clashes painfully with my dark skin tone. I've applied it on my body when at the beaches but cant use it as daily wear for sun protection or underneath makeup
This sunblock goes clumpy after a day in the sun. We had to throw it out and buy a different type of sunblock. It's also rather watery and I got burnt. I could have been burnt because of my inability to properly apply makeup.
I know about the importance of sunscreen and I try really hard to be diligent but often the greasy feel really puts me off so I am on a constant hunt for sunscreen that does not leave that feeling!
I can't say 100% that this sunscreen succeeded in that task BUT it did do a lot better than other brands! It felt greasy to start but did absorb pretty well (although not totally).
I like that is has SPF 50+ and it is a reasonable price, the bottle is ok... not bad, nothing special. I don't feel 100% confident it wouldn't come open in my bag.
I find it quite easy to apply and that includes on to the kids, although if it is really hot and you are getting a bit of a sweat on it slides off pretty easily, also if the kids are swimming I don't think it lasts well.
So! I have not found my holy grail yet but I do keep a bottle of this in the car glove box and it does the job well!
As someone who's family members have had skin cancer I take sun protection very seriously.This is a very thick and greasy sunscreen therefore I only use it on my body.
Living in a country where half an hour in the sun can cause some serious sunburn, it's always been important to me to get a reliable sunscreen!
What attracted me to this product in the first place was it's affordable price compared to other brands of sunscreen, and the fact that it provides a high level of protection from the sun - SPF50+.
However, the first time I went to use it was when I was out camping and about to go swimming. Whilst the actual lotion seemed promising because of it's thick consistency, I found that it leaves a greyish sort of tinge to wherever it was applied (which is annoying, but alright since it offered such good protection), but I found that as soon as I got into the water, that the sunscreen started to run all over the place which was problematic when it ran from my forehead to my eyes.
Whilst I understand that sunscreen isn't meant to go into people's eyes, it is something to consider, especially when going in or near the water. What I like is that you don't need a lot of sunscreen when applying, it goes a long way!
Nivea......why do you insist on making all of your products smell so similar? If it wasn't for the good performance I get out of them I wouldn't touch them with a barge pole. The scent is so overwhelming and frankly quite sickening. I bought this on sale from the Warehouse for $11.99 and loved the fact that it promised moisturizing effects as well as protection from the sun.
The other reason why I reached for this one is that besides the moisturizing it does for my skin, I have quarter of my body covered in tattoos so need to protect them from the sun so they don't fade. The fact that it is SPF 50+ made me get this, rather than the normal SPF 30+ like I normally would have got. I can rest assured knowing that my son as well as myself are well protected.
I love the shape of this bottle. It is both unique and edgy and fits in with my personal style. I make sure I always have a bottle in the car, inside and in my bag where ever I go, especially in summer. It is a basic flip lid that you open, tip up and squeeze to get the sunscreen. I am generous with it and rub it all over my skin to cover every inch. I also apply this under my makeup to protect my skin from the UV rays I don't see under the clouds.
I notice that my skin is very moisturized like it promises and that sun burn is now a thing of the past. I apply every two to three hours or every hour if in the water to make sure that my skin and my families skin is always protected as best as it can be. It is very thick and can take a bit to rub in. It leaves a slight residue but is quickly absorbed as it melts in to the skin. As I said above the smell is not one I like but will tolerate for the sun protection I get.
Tips: Slip, slop, slap and wrap!
It is good suncreen. I use it every summer, can't remember how many bottles I have used over the years. it does an amazing job protecting skin from the sun. Absorbs quickly into my skin, the formula is not runny. Super affordable! It is very moisturising so it is great for winter as well. For some people, it might be a bit greasy.
We have used this for so long in our family, it is super great for long sunny days at the beach or park, family gatherings, birthday parties and such. I really like this sunblock too because its not crazy thick like others so you can actually lather it all over your body without feeling like you've trained your biceps. Smells like general sunblock so the kiddies don't mind it at all and it definitely protects from sunburn so we are happy campers! :D
