NIVEA SUN Protect and Moisture Moisturising Sunscreen Lotion SPF50+

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

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

This sunscreen was effective but it leaves your skin very very white and it feels very thick on your skin. It rubs off in water or with sweat making it not useful for me as I row.

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 .

This has always protected me from the sun (aka no sunburn) but it isn't the most comfortable to wear compared to other sunscreens I have tried. This lotion is quite thick and takes a lot longer to sink into the skin that other lotions I have used. Because of this it leaves you looking quite greasy and sticky feeling for longer than other sunscreens (as I know all sunscreens should be given a while to soak in before going out into the sun). There are more affordable better performing sunscreens than this one but it's ok for a standard sunscreen as it still does the job. Not something I would repurchase or recommend though.

I had high hopes for this product, but ultimately I'm left feeling disappointed and I won't be repurchasing or finishing the bottle. Even though this sunscreen does the job and I don't tan at all -- the lotion is thick and doesn't seem to absorb, no matter how many times I rub it in. I'm then left with a white, shiny cast which does not look attractive on my light skin at all!!

This sun block has a nice smell lovely and creamy texture and does the trick, no tanning with this block on, but it just doesn't tend to soak in, it sits on the skin and you can see it white streaks of cream and any thing floating in the air sticks to you, I feel quite tacky with it on. It does block out the sun but it's not for me.

Being brought up in my family, Nivea was one of those staple items in our grocery shopping or shopping sprees. I normally use sunscreen in the summer but have come to realise that I need to use it probably all times of the year to help protect my skin from uv trays.

Niveas known for their colour blue being their main branding colour. This bottle comes in a 200 ml bottle. The shape of it is like a ractangle but slanted to the top which I'm assuming is for grip. The bright orange and yellow added to the bottle screams summer.

The liquid sunscreen lotion is thin in texture. Feels like a white film when it's applied to you skin. I do remember it having a light scent to it. Lasted on me for about 30-45 minutes in direct sunlight. Did need frequent application if used when swimming. I have used this on my whole family. It does sting kids eye if rubbed in so beware.

My results is an average suncreen that gets the job done. I have used it on numerous occasions because it's affordable for the family to use.

This product is OK, does the job in terms of sun protection however it is too greasy and smells gross. Is not ideal for the beach either as I've I get covered in a sticky sandy greasy mess when applying this at the beach. Def prefer the spray to the lotion

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
