I like this sunscreen because of its high SPF. I normally use it my children and myself when we're swimming, as we have a shower straight after. The lotion is thick and very white ,so when we apply it , it leaves a white residue making us all look a bit grey, and not to forget that this is very stick too,so I don't find it suitable when out and about as we would end up being a hot sticky mess, so it is just limited to the swimming pool.

I loathed sunscreen all my life , always avoiding wearing it till I smartened up and realized that I HAVE to wear it, non- negotiable. Now that i've accepted that fact and learnt to live with sunscreen in my life, this is one that i've come to prefer.
This sunscreen lotion has a soft flowery talcum powder scent, it still has that typical sunscreen smell to it but it's very mild and smells more to me like a talcum powder. Big thumbs up on scent if you usually hate the smell of sunscreen, (I do!)
This consistency is thick and creamy, is easily rubbed into the skin and absorbed without leaving an obvious pale film on the surface of the skin or white streaks. It leaves my skin looking and feeling adequately hydrated and protected from the sun. It does feel the slightest bit tacky on the skin to the touch, but not enough to bother me.
This is one of my favorite everyday sunscreens as it feels more like a regular lotion to use, as opposed to dense, filmy, sticky and stinky sunscreens. A great option or the whole family.
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.
while camping a couple of months back a group of 7 went through a big bottle of this and open a second one while we did what it said on the bottle and wait before swimming a couple of us got it in our eyes whilst swimming and it caused our eyes to burn and become very irritable ever since then i wont put it on my face as i find it does protect from the sun ..
Tips: dont apply to face area and if u sweat or go swimming and some gets in your eyes it hurts
As a sun lotion it works great, I didnt get sunburn in or out of the ocean. But for me it is way to oily and thick! Plus it never soaked in, I felt like a greasy person all day and badly wanted a shower. Plus sand stuck everywhere!! For the purpose it is intended for its great but made me uncomfortable and gross so personally wouldn't use it again
This sunscreen is light and protects my skin pretty well in the warmer months, However it is quite expensive for the volume. It leaves an oily feeling on your skin, but that's how I indicate whether I need to re-apply or not, so I find it useful
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
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.
As a brand, I really like Nivea, so last year, when the warmer months started approaching, I quickly purchased this product.
I really like the packaging of the product, more for convenience than anything else. The pacaking is blue, and yellow. With simple but clear text, which is effective, and tells you all the information that you need to know. This product has a smoth shape, and is easy to hold, even with slippery sunscreened hands. The plastic is easy to squeeze and so the product is easily released. The product uses a flip cap for release of the product, and this cap is supsrisingly effective, and has not leaked a single drop of sunscreen. So far, so good. The product has the sunscreen smell, and I actually quite like it. It reminds me of summer! The sunscreen is thick, glossy and white. When rubbing into you skin, the sunscreen has quite a thinned down appearance and easily rubbed in, leaving no white marks or streaks. It does leave a residue however, and the residue is slightly greasy, and it can be seen aswell as felt, and has a slightly sticky feel to it. I have to say, I don’t really like this. Especially in the warmer months when you can get a little sweaty, its just a recipe for a mess!
This is a product I have repurchased, and it used to be my staple sunscreen. Now however, this is a product I leave in my car or at work to ensure if I forget to sunscreen at home, I have a back up option available. And this is exactly how I would describe this product, as a back up. It does the job, but it is no where near my favourite sunscreen
I like the high SPF of this product and I buy it to pop into my bag when I am out and for my kids school bags. It is a fairly thick formulation and so the kids can see when they miss a spot too.
I will continue to buy this product
