NIVEA Ultrabeach SPF50+ Sunscreen

It did a good job protecting your skin from the sun and a good size to carry on your bag. However, I found it too thick and sticky and it is hard to apply evenly on your skin. Especially when you want to reapply it after playing on the beach.

My husband was using this for surfing but found that it wasn't giving the best protection as he was still getting burnt and as its quite thick it was tricky to apply after being in the water!

I had to use it once when I forgot my usual spray on sunscreen and totally agree with the application thing, not pleasant to apply when wet and covered in sand!!

Pros: - Nice size to throw into purse - Liked it best for legs, arms, torso - Doesn't sting eyes - No overpowering smell - Kept my redhead skin sunburn-free for at least 3-4 hours (no swimming involved)

Cons: - Definitely doesn't stay on for 4 hrs if you're swimming (my sunburnt kids can attest to that!) - Bit too thick & sticky for my face

I found that the sticky white cream never really soaked into my skin and if i rubbed into to much it was not only sticky but oily. Not good for the beach with Sand! I didn't get burned so i guess thats a really good thing.

This is our go-to sunscreen when we're heading to the beach. Glides on & absorbs nicely-doesn't just it on top of your skin & doesn't feel greasy. One day I decided to really test it & applied it everywhere but 2 spots on my body and used another one on my husband doing the same thing. This one did far better than the one I put on my husband & really stopped sunburn all over (except those couple of spots) even after sweating a lot in the sun & stuff. The only downside is that it is quite expensive for the amount you get & we would easily use a tube per trip to the beach. Great stuff overall

Not the best sunscreen I've tried. It is quite oily and after spreading it on my skin and rubbing it in, it looks very shiny and I can feel a layer of this on me. I didn't like the smell and having to endure it for a whole summer I was glad to find a new one.

I tried the Nivea sunscreen and found it to be effective, but personally thought it was a little too oily and sat on the skin rather than being absorbed. It is effective and does protect the skin but I am certain there are better options on the market. I probably would not purchase this again.

This is a favourite in our household and is a must have item in summer, especially when most of summer is spent in and around the swimming pool.

I have been getting a few sun spots on my shoulders and arms in recent years and I need to be more sun smart so always look for something with good sun protection.

This comes in a blue metallic squeeze tube and sits on the lid, I like how it's easy to grab and squeeze the sunscreen out especially when everyone is in a hurry to get outside or get into the pool. You only need a small amount and it rubs in easily It leaves a slightly oily and greasy residue for an hour afterwards but it is effective, I only use this on my body and use a lighter formula for my face. It has a pleasant fresh scent that smells like a lot of other Nivea products.

I have never looked like a Beetroot after wearing this sunscreen, I put it on before heading out in the morning and then again around midday before reapplying. I wish this would come in a bigger size 150ml doesn't last long in our house at all.

This is one of the only sunscreens i can use on my eczema prone skin and it works great and does exactly what it should!

I am a fan of Nivea Products, have found them to be very reliable in the past. This Nivea Sunscreen comes in a tube which is handy for throwing into your bag. I prefer a spray on sunscreen which I find easier to apply, but the tube one is ok if you have the time to apply it. Typical Nivea smell and you only need a small amount, quite a thick formula and a bit oily and greasy, takes a bit of rubbing in to the skin. Very moisturising for dry skin and non-irritating for sensitive skin.
