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.

Reviews
This is my current sunscreen, and it works well. I have already bought 2 bottles of it this summer. My only gripe is that I wished it came in bigger bottles. The smell is reasonable, we did not reapply often and didn't get burnt.
I use the Nivea Sun Caring which comes in the spray bottle as it's easy to apply. Unlike many sunblocks which have a high sun protection factor, this goes on well without leaving me covered in a white film. I like that it has a 50+ SPF and is also a broad spectrum cream so it protects against both UVA and UVB rays.
Tips: Like any sunscreen remember to keep applying throughout the day if you're outdoors and sweating or swimming. The best beauty advice is sunblock, sunblock, sunblock. I wish I knew that when I was young.
I like the smell of this product. It dosn't smell like a normal sunscreen to me. I haven't been burnt yet from using it and the kids have senstive skin and seems to be working ok for them too
Although this stuff felt heavy on my skin & a bit greasy because it didn't absorb, it definately did what it was supposed to do. ven when sweating quite a bit it stayed put & protected my skin. I have very pale skin & burn easily, so it is important to have a good sunscreen & this is a great one if you don't mind the first few things I mentioned
I like that this product works, but I don't like the greasy feeling you have after applying. It does soak in after a while, but you still have that slippery feeling. Most sunscreen's have this, but I was hoping for something a little faster absorbing and that didn't make you feel slimy after application. The high SPF rating was something the drew me in to purchasing, but I am still not convinced by it just yet. This summer will confirm any doubts I have.
I really like it. Very moisturising. However, i wish that it would have come with a pump. When you have little children, they seem to squeeze out more than whats necessary. Not quite as long staying power, you have to re-apply all the time, but all in all, a good product.
I have very fair skin that burns so easily, so when the summer months roll around I pretty much have to slather up in sunscreen several times a day, everyday I want to be outside. I like that it is a nice big bottle, you don't have to buy a new one every week. I do think it is slightly on the higher side price wise, but it goes the distance. It does the job of a normal sunscreen, however I do not like that it leaves a greasy layer on your skin, for that reason I really don't like using it on my face as it makes me feel cakey and yuk, especially if you are having to reapply several times, it kind of builds up. I have a bottle of it that I keep around for a spare but if I can avoid using it I do
Quite thick and sticky but definitely does the job. I have never been sunburnt while using this so that really speaks for itself. The scent is alright as well. I would say this is a more moisturising sunblock compared to others. Would repurchase but wouldn't be my first choice.
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
