I've used P20 for years now in the blistering heat of Goa India. I always recommended it to everyone. No one ever burnt until my daughter's friend came with us. He used P20 and burnt in patches... more

    Advantages Advantages Only apply once a day

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Takes an hour and a half to work

    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 recent holiday to a Greek island, to see if it worked. Then if he got really burnt I wouldn’t bother with it. It’s always handy to have a guinea pig ... more

    Advantages Advantages Only need to apply it once a day

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Turns your clothes yellow

    ***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 skin, a process that takes 90 minutes. Amazingly P20 gives high protection (SPF 20) against the sun's burning UVB rays but still lets through some UVA ... more

    Advantages Advantages Only have to apply once a day, waterproof, high SPF, nice tan

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Takes a while to become active, can stain clothing, price might put you off

    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 it’s one that only has to be applied once a day for most people. It has an active ingredient (PABA, also known as vitamin H) that binds itself ... more

    Advantages Advantages No heavy suntans to carry round, Once a day application, Tan without burning.

    Disadvantages 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 can imagine I was very sceptical, but having had many hot holidays and always burnt I thought what the hell, and bought some..... STOCKISTS P20 comes ... more

    Advantages Advantages Phenomenal sun protection from a single application

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Stains clothing

    Summary - Great protection (factor 20) from a single once-a-day application - Allows the skin to tan giving a natural, subtle colour - Not noticeably affected by swimming and contact with water only (does wash off with soap and water) - Costs around 18 pounds for 200 ml (which sounds expensive but what a bargain for protection against the risk of skin cancer) - Does take 90 minutes to provide protection from the time of application - Can stain clothing As the title of my opinion suggests, my complexion is fair and my skin is rather susceptible to burning when exposed to the sun. The thing that ... more
