I bought this sunscreen on holiday when I just needed a small amount of SPF 50+ sunscreen for my face. I was also keen to test if this Shine Control cream with Mattifying Effect and 0% Sticky Feeling was actually that different from my regular NIVEA SPF50+ sunscreen. The Shine Control cream promises the same UVA and UVB protection as the regular NIVEA sunscreen, and I think it definitely works well. One thing to note is that this version of the cream is not water resistant, however, most people do not spend a lot of time with their faces in the water. I have to say that I do not find this cream any less sticky or greasy than regular NIVEA sunscreen. I was expecting something that felt like a regular day cream, but to me this cream feels like a normal sunscreen. It is hard to say if it really looks more matt than a regular sunscreen, but I cannot see a very obvious difference. Overall, I think that this is a good sunscreen, but I do not think it is worth buying it in addition to another sunscreen as a nicer option for the face. However, I find that the regular NIVEA sunscreen I use is not very sticky anyway, and I happily use it on my face, so it would have been hard to beat that.

I love this sunscreen because it does what it says and does not leave you with that oily finish that many other brands do. It is lightweight and looks good under makeup I highly recommend as also great for sensitive skin.
This sunblock effortlessly absorbs excess oil, leaving your skin feeling delightfully non-greasy and utterly smooth. Goodbye stickiness, hello radiance!
