Sun Protection > Riemann P20 Sun Protection

Brilliant put it on, then forget about sun cream all day!!

Advantages: Great protection, no reapplying :D
Disadvantages: smells funny, stains clothing when wet

P20 is the best thing since sliced bread! A work colleague recommended the product to me as we sell it at my place of work. I first used it in Turkey last year. I put it on every morning and left it for the time it stated and went out and sunbathed all day. I went in the pool, I went in the sea, i put clothes on and I took clothes off. Not once did i waste any of my holiday reapplying sun cream and I did not get burnt once or have any issues with ...
...roses and it will stain pretty much anything while it is wet, so i advise applying this in your birthday suit in the mornings. Please ensure you leave it for a good 2 minutes before sun exposure or getting it wet for it to work effectively. Also make sure you don’t miss any skin when you apply it as if you miss any then you will burn badly. With sun cream if you miss somewhere the 1st time you will most likely get it the second or third time round ...

Review of Riemann P20 Once-A-Day Sunfilter

If it 'aint broke... dont fix it! ...

Advantages: Now that reapplication is required, no advantage above any other sunscreen
Disadvantages: All of the above

If you read the pre- 2005/6 reviews they will all rave about this product , I was also a huge fan of P20 and have used it for a number of years. I found the 90 minute wait before exposure to the sun worth the wait as you didn't need to reapply for the rest of the day. I could protect myself and my children and feel happy that their skin wouldnt burn without constantly having to slap on sunscreen when they are in and out of the water on holiday. Fantastic!! ...
...Last year however, I was extremely disappointed to find that the formula has changed. In theory good because you only have to wait 15 minutes before exposure but sadly now the stuff rubs off by towelling dry and by clothing and needs a reapplication! I thought the whole point of it was eight hour protection!!! It also leaves the skin with a very slightly tacky feel, whereas the 90 minute formula left the skin completely dry once absorbed. The protection ...

Review of Riemann P20 P20 Sun Filter High Protection

Riemann P20 once a day sun filter

Advantages: Don't burn, only use once a day, not greasy
Disadvantages: Expensive (but worth it).

...suncream. However after using Riemann P20 I'm never going back...! I have quite fair skin and no matter which sun cream I use I always burn a bit. With this I spent two weeks in the Caribbean and only burnt once - the day I used normal suncream! I put this on in a morning after having a shower. It takes 15minutes to become active which was usually by the time I got out of the bathroom! Some older versions take 90 minutes so watch out for this if ...
...oil but once it's dry it's not at all greasy like normal suncream and doesn't cause eyes to sting half way through the day! It does smell quite strong of alcohol when you put it on but again once it's dry it doesn't smell at all. On the days I used this I spent lots of time either in the swimming pool or in the sea followed by sunbathing and it was totally effective and I never had to re-apply it. It's so convenient just putting it on in the morning ...

Review of Riemann P20 P20 Once a Day Sun Filter

I'll stick to my carmex thanks!

Advantages: looks glossy
Disadvantages: sticky, greasy, messy

...almost ever since I've know Vaseline has been around and my Mum always tended to buy it in one of those HUUUUGE tubs and she just used to plaster it on anything! Dry lips, grazes, cute, etc! Anyway so it seems to be one of those things that has just been around for ages, but I haven't used it for years and it was only a year or so ago when I saw these little round metal pots, with the famous 'Vaseline' written across it! As I had dry chapped lips ...
...the final price! Range: Vaseline has a large range, from the familiar yellowy tub, to these little pots. In these pot range there is the blue tub which is the original , SPF 15 one which is in the yellow tub, the green one which is an aloe vera one and the pink one, which is a tinting one! My view: I am not sure on this product, it isn't as good as what I have remembered and doesn't really soothe my lips as the lip balm gets soaked up ever so ...

Review of Vaseline Lip Therapy Sun Proection SPF 15

Garnier Ambre Solaire GEL good for oily skin;for use on body only

Advantages: Gel formulation, makes skin shimmer, available in high SPFs
Disadvantages: price, smell, dry oil feel on skin

What attracted me at first to this sun-gel was the fact that it was a gel- I have very oily skin. However, if you are planning to use it on your face, don’t. It not only makes your skin shimmer (pleasant effect on legs, for example; but on your face it looks like you’re sweating)and also IT STINGS. This is because of the high alcohol content. It does warn you not to use it on your face on the back. A major drawback is the smell- it really, really ...
...not greasy, it’s more of a kind of dry oiliness (it reminded me of body oil). I did not like the way it felt on my skin. Also it is expensive, but then most sunscreens are expensive. For oily skin pricewise, you’d be better to look for a supermarket sunscreen for children, as they tend to have less oil content. Also, look out for bargains- both Boots and supermarkets like ASDA or Sainsbury’s have 2 for 1 deals which I have seen often before. All ...
