Riemann P20 P20 Sun Filter High Protection > Reviews

Advantages: No heavy suntans to carry round, Once a day application, Tan without burning.
Disadvantages: 90 minute wait, occasional staining,

RECOMMENDATION I was recommended this product by a stranger whilst I was perusing the vast choice of suntan creams. She noticed I was fair skinned and told me that I must try P20 as it is an amazing product that will make me never want to use other creams again. She said you only need to literally apply it once a day in the morning, wait 90 minutes, then that is it for the day!! She told me that you still tan, but do not burn whatsoever. As you ...

Advantages: Phenomenal sun protection from a single application
Disadvantages: Stains clothing

...is over! I was introduced to Riemann P20 by my partner, a pharmacist, after she had returned from travelling to some very hot climates. My partner's travelling companion happens to have a very pale complexion, like myself, and she used P20 throughout their adventure in places like India, Vietnam and Australia (during their summer!). To my surprise, the travelling companion did not frazzle in the Australian sun, resembling a lobster, and instead ... Read review

Advantages: Once a day application, brilliant protection
Disadvantages: initally expensive, may cause staining

I was recommended this stuff by a friend several years ago. I thought it was a bit expensive, but tried it anyway. I have been using it ever since. As it only has to be applied once a day, 90 mins before exposure to the sun, it was a simple matter of putting it on, having breakfast and then you are ready for all day sun. I have used P20 in Greece, Turkey, Egypt, Cyprus and Spain and never once been burnt. I have been swimming & snorkeling and ... Read review

Advantages: It is the Holy Grail of sunscreen
Disadvantages: No real ones

...and tested in Denmark by Riemann & co. What sets it apart from other sunscreens is that it is a once aday lotion. You put it on your body ONCE in the morning and it will bind with your skin, giving factor 20 protection all day. Even after frequent swimming during the day it still retains about 90% of its effectiveness. No need to take countless bottles of cream to the beach. This makes it prefect for children and skiers on slopes to protect against ... Read review

Advantages: You do not burn!
Disadvantages: Very expensive.

All of my life I have been prone to sunburn. I put this down to a combination of two things: the first is that I have very pale skin, with freckles and moles; the second is that I did not have my first holiday abroad until I was 18. Year after year, I would go on holiday and always burn terribly. I tried everything, but to no avail. I could usually only stay in the sun for 30 minutes without burning. One of my friends used to always come back ... Read review

Advantages: Convenient
Disadvantages: Pricey and takes a while to take effect

With all the excellent sunny weather we have been experiencing recently I thought I'd let you in on this product, I am joking about the weather of course! This must be one of the best kept secrets on the sun cream market and I only came across it through word of mouth. Indeed you will find it very hard to buy, it used to be available only through mail-order and airport shops, but I believe larger Boots stores now sell it. It is made in Denmark, ... Read review

Advantages: Only needs to be applied once - you don't need to carry the bottle with you!
Disadvantages: High price. Not to be applied if you're in a hurry.

I have used Riemann P20 Sun Filter High Protection for about 4 years now and wouldn't use anything else. I have fair, freckly skin and can only sit in the sun, even in the UK, for about 10 minutes before burning. I have tried many different sun products in the past and found that they were usually greasy and had to be reapplied frequently to afford any protection. I was always missing bits, as it is difficult to apply cream in public, and coming ... Read review

Advantages: Not always appling cream
Disadvantages: Can mark which does come off

I have to share my veiws on P20 it is truley an amazing product. I only started using this product last year when my family visited Crete in August.The temperature in the shade at night was 32 and in the day was about 110 very very hot.What is the saying Mad dogs and English Men!!!! We are all fair skin and can easily burn I watched the hype on this on QVC and thought why not give it a go. You put this on about 90 minutes before you go out in the ... Read review

Advantages: Excellant protection and only one coverage needed
Disadvantages: Sticky at first

If like me you are fair skinned and burn easily this product is essential! I tried it in July last year on our two week holiday to Malta. It claims to only need one application and prevent burning. Here is my experience with it: As it needs to be put on 1h ½ before going outside on the first day I didn’t bother putting it on because I think we were a little late getting up. So I just put normal sun cream on that day. By the evening however I was ... Read review

Advantages: only need to apply once a day.
Disadvantages: hard to apply

I came across this product last year when I was out shopping looking for sun cream to protect my son for when we went on holiday in June. My son has blond hair and is very fair so I wanted something that was going to really protect him but also let him get a bit of colour. I managed to find P20 whilst shopping in our local bodycare shop.It was a bit expensive at £9.99 but found out after the holiday that it was every penny well spent. It ... Read review

Advantages: Amazing sun protection, lasts a long time, once a day application,
Disadvantages: may stain clothes before drying, recommended to apply 90 minutes before going in sun.

why did i buy it as a nanny and a mummy I appreciate importance of sun care. It was as a nanny that a friend recommended p20. The family she was working for had been using it for a few years. This was about 7 years ago and I have been using it ever since. how does it work I won't go into any long boring explanations because it can be quite technical but basically it contains Vitamin H which is absorbed by the skin and binds to the keratin ...

Advantages:
Disadvantages:

As a redhead, obviously with very pale skin, I burn easily. A friend reccommended I try P20 a few years ago, and I have used nothing else since. It will stain your clothes if you do not leave the product time to dry, and I have found I do get a heat rash sometimes - only if I apply too much. The trick is only using enough for a light coverage. I now live on the Gold Coast of Australia, and will not step outside without using P20, I have never ... Read review
