Sunscreen you’ll WANT to apply!!

5 out of 5 stars

Sunscreen you’ll WANT to apply!!
This sunscreen is really the most amazing consistency. It’s light and absorbs so quickly. It is a chemical sunscreen and the ingredients are in Japanese so you’ll need to use google translate. My husband is SO FAIR. I’m talking so fair that people regularly say he’s the palest person they know. He burns within minutes of being outside or even the car. He has been using this all over his body and he has yet to be burned! He will actually apply this to his skin because he doesn’t mind the feeling of it which is basically like water. If you use it all over your body you will need to repurchase more frequently, but for us it’s worth it because we’re not dealing with bad sunburns. 10/10

    Wow- I have tried so many sunscreens for your face. For drugstore to expensive they all had good qualities but this one blows the competition out of the water! No white caste, super easy application, does not dry sticky, and easy to reapply with no pilling. 100% recommend this!

    Nivea is the best sunblock ever!! The scent is light and fresh. It keeps me from burning at the beach. I also think Nivea uses quality ingredients and I like their products. I prefer them over other we'll known brands.

    I really like it because it's not sticky and smooth both when applied and after applying it, and it also serves as a sunscreen.

    I like how light and fluid the texture is. Very easily rubs in. No white cast at all. During a very hot and humid day my eyes were burning so I think it's not sweat proof. I had applied some of the product under eyebrow/ top of eyelids not near lash line. I do this when I used the Japanese biore watery essence sunscreen and don't have issue with burning eyes.

    Great sunscreen, does the job for far less than what American sunscreens cost considering how much you need to use to get full SPF protection. It's a milky, thin consistency, spreads easily, absorbs quickly and works well under my makeup with no white cast. I live in a hot, sunny climate, have worn it for years and have not gotten sunburned on my face/neck.
