NIVEA SUN UV Face Shine Control Cream

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!

I am in love with this product! I wear this daily for a natural look whilst protecting my skin from the sun. So hydrating and dewy but I do like to put on a bit of blush and highlighter to have a more polished look.

I use this both in summer and in winter on the snow. Full sunny day on Mt Ruapehu requires about 4 applications of sunscreen throughout the day. And yet my face never felt greasy or clogged when using this. And most importantly, I didn’t get burnt. Great price point too!

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.

I’m so excited to have stumbled across this sunscreen as although I always use one on my face in summer (I know it should be year round) they all seem to leave me looking like a greasy mess. I’ve tried so many over the years specifically for the face but this is the first that doesn’t increase shine. It doesn’t seem to control the shine but just works with my makeup so it’s not obvious I’m wearing any. It’s a great price and one tube has lasted me about 2 months as I do apply it to my chest too. I have noticed a few more little white heads since using it but they’re really small and easily popped as they’re just surface ones. This is definitely a product that I’ll keep buying and will probably use it in winter now too as it doesn’t affect my makeup.

this is kind of an average sun lotion for oily face ,its very light to apply ,but it did not actually control the oil production ,it wont cause more break outs as well .
