Riemann P20 P20 Sun Filter High Protection

Sounds unbelievable doesn’t it – only having to apply your sun protection once per day? That’s what Reimanns P20 claims. It was recommended to me by a policeman who said his mate (who had even fairer skin than me) never burnt his entire holiday. It was after I forked out nearly twenty quid for the stuff that I wondered where his mate had gone; it could have been Iceland or Alaska for all I know! Anyway I thought I’d let my husband test it on our ...
...worked. Then if he got really burnt I wouldn’t bother with it. It’s always handy to have a guinea pig in these situations (not a real guinea-pig – just Andy, no animals were harmed in the writing of this review). He used it for a few days with no ill effects so I thought I’d try it. I have the type of skin that can burn within five minutes of Northeast sunshine (no, its not a myth – we do have about three days a year when it gets sunny), so I am ...

Review of Riemann P20 P20 Sun Filter High Protection

***What is it?*** Riemann P20 is a once a day sun protection cream. If applied as per the instructions it will last for approx 6 hours. It only comes in factor 20. ***How does it work?*** Rieman say: The active ingredient in P20 is PABA (p-aminobenzoic acid), which is a natural substance found in the human body - it is also known as Vitamin H. When P20 is applied to the skin, the p-aminobenzoic acid is absorbed and binds to the keratin in the ...

Review of Riemann P20 P20 Sun Filter High Protection

I have really fair skin that burns easily, and don't usually get a tan. In fact I often avoid direct sun, being quite happy to sit in the shade or wait until the strong sun has passed before venturing out. However, when holidaying somewhere where that isn't practical (Mexico and Florida are two recent-ish holidays that spring to mind) P20 does a great job at keeping my skin from burning. P20 is unusual so far as sun protection is concerned, since ...
...day for most people. It has an active ingredient (PABA, also known as vitamin H) that binds itself to your skin when applied, meaning that it stays put even when you’re in and out of the sea or the pool like a jack in the box. This is great for me, as one of the things I really hate about traditional suntan cream is that it isn’t waterproof, so doesn’t work if I spend extended time in the water, and certainly doesn’t stand ...

Review of Riemann P20 P20 Sun Filter High Protection

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 ...
...hot holidays and always burnt I thought what the hell, and bought some..... STOCKISTS P20 comes in a 100ml or 200ml screw top plastic bottle. It costs roughly £10 for 100ml and £20 for 200ml. This may seem expensive, but actually is good value when you really only apply it once a day. It can be purchased from several outlets that include: Superdrug, Waitrose, John Lewis, Lloyds pharmacy, Bodycare, Savers, Wilkinsons, Semi-Chem, and most airport ...

Review of Riemann P20 P20 Sun Filter High Protection

...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 was rewarded ...
...was intrigued and decided to purchase this product. The first test was a holiday to mainland Greece in an area that was prone to temperatures well above 35 degrees C. The forecast for the holiday was good - hot and sunny. On arriving at the hotel, I decided to open the P20 and apply. The instruction say that you must wait 90 minutes for the product to 'bind' to your skin. This means that for 90 minutes you mustn't go out in the sun (since this first ...

Review of Riemann P20 P20 Sun Filter High Protection

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 still ...
...11 yo girl off to France with a bottle of the stuff. She shared it with her friend and applied it themselves. Neither of them got burnt, except for the one occasion when her friend didn't use use it! This is good stuff, but it comes in at about £24 for 200 ml, £15 for 100 ml (shop prices). But as it only needs to be applied once a day, it works out to be very cost effective. Shop around for the best prices. Ebay usually have some for auction. It ...

Review of Riemann P20 P20 Sun Filter High Protection

...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 ...
...you tan. It gives high protection against UVB rays, but lets through UVA rays, the result being a golden tan without burning. None greasy and fragrance free. Once P20 is dry, it stays that way so you no longer have to apply sticky lotions, milks or oils throughout the day. It also has no horrible odour, which is a big advantage. Economical to use. P20 may seem expensive at about £17 a bottle, but you’re wrong. Because it is a once aday filter, ...

Review of Riemann P20 P20 Sun Filter High Protection

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 with ...
...decided to check it out myself, but I must admit that the price deterred me then, and it wasn't until a few years later that I did decide to buy some for myself. Listed below are my positive and negative comments regarding P20. Positives: * You only need one application and it lasts for a whole day. There is no need to re-apply after swimming. * The P20 sinks into your skin very quickly after application. * You are able to stay in the sun much ...

Review of Riemann P20 P20 Sun Filter High Protection

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, ...
...drawback as far as I can tell is that you need to apply it at least 90 minutes before venturing under the glare of that star which occupies the centre of our solar system. It can be tricky to apply as it is absorbed into the skin quickly making it hard to tell where you have put it! Make sure you do cover up all those nooks and crannies or you may get the red stripe effect, not nice. Once applied it absorbs so you cannot feel it and the smell is ...

Review of Riemann P20 P20 Sun Filter High Protection

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 ...
...I thought I could only give it a try. I have never looked back. The bottle claims it is a "Once a Day sunfilter. Tan without burning. High protection SPF 20" and I think it works. Having read the instructions I thought it looked a bit daunting but I soon got into a routine. Because of the price I only use P20 on days that I know that I am going to be exposed to the sun for any length of time, otherwise I just wear clothes that cover me and stick ...

Review of Riemann P20 P20 Sun Filter High Protection

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 ...
...woke up before breakfast.It is a clear liquid that you put all over and rub in. Then away we went, my son was in and out of the pool laid in the sun then the shade back in the sun wanting a tan ,then not.I can honestly say I used it the once a day and for the whole holiday he did not burn. I could not believe it in Minorca the previous year in May when it was not very hot he got his shoulders burnt and moaned as 12 years olds do,but not once with ...

Review of Riemann P20 P20 Sun Filter High Protection

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 ...
...I put p20 on when I got up. It is brown and kind of sticky. You can sort of see where you have applied it. You need to wait for a few minutes for it absorb and lose its stickiness so you can put your clothes on. During that time instead of just standing there stupidly you could do your teeth or something useful. You really need to be careful putting on your clothes because a couple of my tops got stained with it but it does wash out easily with just ...

Review of Riemann P20 P20 Sun Filter High Protection

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 was a ...
...form and not lotion,and with my son only being 18 months old at the time he was wriggling and running away which didn't help.But I managed to get there in the end,and with only having to apply it to him once a day it wasn't all too bad. You see you only need to apply it once and it protects you all day long even if you have been in the water.So really in the long run it doesn't at all work out all that expensive in the long run. Anyway at the end ...

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 in your ...

The only time I burnt was when we went snorkeling and forgot to do the backs of my legs. Children who make a fuss about sun protection are easier to do because it only needs doing once a day. Although it seems expensive at £21.99 for a 200ml bottle ...

Review of Riemann P20 P20 Sun Filter High Protection

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 burned, ...
