NIVEA SUN UV Face Shine Control Cream

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.

This is hands down the best I have ever used for my face!!! I done a lot of research before buying as soon it’s such an affordable price, I was unsure how well it would preform. I alway use serums and moisturiser on the morning, followed by the sunscreen and then makeup. It dry well. On top of my serums perfectly. It drys well and is a perfect base for my foundation! I have read some people complain because it smells like sunscreen… but what do you expect? It’s great. I found my new forever sunscreen!
