NIVEA SUN Protect and Moisture Moisturising Sunscreen Lotion SPF50+

I like this sunscreen because of its high SPF. I normally use it my children and myself when we're swimming, as we have a shower straight after. The lotion is thick and very white ,so when we apply it , it leaves a white residue making us all look a bit grey, and not to forget that this is very stick too,so I don't find it suitable when out and about as we would end up being a hot sticky mess, so it is just limited to the swimming pool.

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 is such a trusty brand and it's one that I can always rely on. I only gave it a 3 however since I still have yet to find the perfect sunscreen in this bottle. I wouldn't say it's anything bad and it's definitely above average than other sunscreen brands but still nothing I love and would reach for often. The smell is actually quite subtle which is better than other brands but the stickiness afterwards is terrible which I do find common amongst sun lotions. It's definitely moisturising and what you pay for is amazing since it definitely does stop you from sunburning. So if you're not too picky about sunscreen lotions then it'll be perfect for you however for me I don't really find it to be all that amazing

I loved this sunblock just because of the high SPF. I only applied it twice that day and I did not get burned at all. I have fair skin and easy burn but this protected me very well even tho I went into the water and stuff.

Now I did get drawn to the Moisturizing effect when I first saw it, but when put on the skin its was just so greasy! I dont know if this is because I religiously moisturize my skin or what but this part of it I really did not like at all.

This sunscreen was way too thick for my liking. It made it really difficult to get good coverage. I think I used it twice before throwing it away because I just couldn't be bothered spending what felt like hours rubbing it into my skin. On the plus side, the two times I did use it, I did not get burnt.

This was pretty much our standard sunscreen that we always had a few bottles travel with us to the park or to the beach. It was just about the only sunscreen we had with us on several vacations. So long as people applied it regularly they didn't get too burnt and just heavily tanned. But that was on mornings that we spent five or so hours out at the beach in the tropical sun and swimming in the sea and the pool. If you apply it and then jump in the pool you will notice a thin milky sort of residue floating around you for a bit because it's not waterproof so you do need to be careful and reapply it fairly often because it does wash off.

I'm unsure on this sunscreen as I found it took a long time to absorb into my skin and when it did my skin felt thick and clammy. My partner finds it great as he uses it more often than I. The smell is fine, like any other sunscreen really, and the packaging is a little fun, it isn't too basic but not over the top.

I really love having sunscreen around over summer. This one was a good staple, but nothing special really.

It's reliable because it gives great sun protection (as you expect), but it isn't super awesome or anything to rave about. It takes awhile to absorb in, and leaves a bit of a greasy after-feel. However if you are just using it for a day in the sun this is fine, but I wouldn't recommend wearing it to the beach where all the grit gets stuck to you. Overall not a bad product though.

Unfortunately this product doesn't agree with me and I end up reacting to it, particularly on my face. It is easy to apply, smells better than other suncreens, but I feel it is a little expensive for what it is.

The worst sunscreen ever! So greasy and you will turn into a white monster! I mean it does the job, no sunburn, but it does not rub in and feels disgusting.
