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 sunscreen is good, dosnt smell chemically like other lotions sometimes do. Its formula is thick and creamy, it absorbs into my skin fast without leaving a oily residue. I used some on my 4yr old son and he had a VERY bad reaction! He broke out in hives that lasted for nearly a week! he never reacts to anything so this was a surprise! so wont be using it again .
I really like this lotion it keeps skin moisturised and protected. It is not sticky at all and you forget you even have it on. The large bottle is easy to find when needed.
This sunscreen is a go to for my family. It's a decent price for a decent size and you can easily pick it up on a grocery run. It gives good reliable sun protection and doesn't smell entirely unpleasant; it has that Nivea sort of smell. It has good coverage and is easy to apply. It leaves a slightly greasy after feel, but I've yet to find a sunscreen that doesn't. It is quite white on the skin but with a bit of rubbing it'll blend in. It's not especially amazing, definitely not the best, but it's reliable and easy and a staple for my family. I'm still trying out different sunscreens and looking for a perfect one.
Tried it on Christmas holiday for camping. We spent a whole day outdoor with Nivea, and none of us have any sunburn. It does the job :)
So being a SPF 50+ it does what you would expect you end up stick white/purple and not burnt. This is great for kids but if you are wearing your favorite outfit it is probably best to avoid as you end up feeling pretty sticky. Nivea have brought out a light one which i think would help that stick feeling. x
Have used this in the past but not one of my favorites. Was rather thick and sticky to rub in especially on the kids and found it made hair greasy around the hairline or if it came into contact with it. Averagely priced everyday sunscreen.
I'm not personally a huge fan of thick sunscreens as I find them rather uncomfortable on my skin, however, this one does the job and lasts relatively well on me.
I do prefer something a bit thinner that isn't as difficult to rub in, though you do feel protected wearing this! Super huge bottle, so will last you months. It is a traditional smelling sunscreen, but more moisturising than most.
It has been a family favourite for many years and is definitely a great option for those who want great sun protection.
Tips: I found less is more in order to avoid a thick white covering
Protected me from the sun as it said it would, but I did find it quite greasy and heavy. It did it's job nicely
I decided to purchase this sunscreen due to it being the first one I seen when I was searching for some. I love the size of this sunscreen as it is a reasonable size to carry around in your handbag without weighing it down. I like the consistency of the formula as it is just right and it doesn't take forever to absorb into your skin. I feel like it protected my skin quite well but I just need to remember to reapply throughout the day. I would definitely repurchase this product as it is definitely an essential.
