Nivea Sun Lotion for Children

Advantages: Great product, nice smell, lasts a long time
Disadvantages: Can be expensive if bought singularly

...thinking £5.50 a bottle sounded a lot more reasonable! Now for the cream itself It isn't too runny which is great when applying to a very little baby as my son was last year. It had a very nice pleasant fragrance, which I can't liken to anything else to be honest! The cream is a creamy colour and even on my son's dark skin it was still well absorbed and he didn't look too patchy! The cream comes in a 200ml bottle, which is a nice colbalt blue colour with a bright yellow flip top. It has the Nivea Sun logo at the top in the middle of the bottle, with CHILDREN'S LOTION written across the middle in coloured letters. Just underneath that in an orange dot, it has the SPF (Sun Protection Factor) written in white letters. The bottle also states it has "Immediate Protection". Long-Lasting Water Resistance, and UVA/UVB Protection System. The back...

Review of Nivea Sun Children

Nivea sunscreen - scorching!

Advantages: Moisturising, Stops burning, Smells nice
Disadvantages: None I can think of

...I have always liked Nivea products; I particularly like the way they smell and this sun tan lotion is no exception. The smell reminds me of summer, which I'm sure you'll agree is no bad thing. It isn't an easy smell to describe, kind of clean and caring and like holidays, but if you have ever smelt a Nivea product then you will know what I am talking about ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Why do you need suntan cream? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ You need sun protection cream to block the Ultraviolet A (UVA) and Ultraviolet B (UVB) rays that the sun naturally gives out. UVB rays are the ones most of us know about - they are the ones that cause us to burn (or tan). They are blocked somewhat by the ozone layer, but as it has been getting thinner we are becoming more exposed to these rays. You should also look for a sunscreen that...

Review of Nivea Moisturising Lotion (Normal)

Sun Sprays help, Nivea more

Advantages: Read the Review
Disadvantages: Price, requies frequent application

...around a beach dressed like a hi fi executive, to be protected against the sun simply because this is a ridiculous idea. But he matter of factly refered to use something, may be a lotion or even a sun spray to take care of that! Do you know what I did? I looked for some useful stuff just here at ciao, because I have some reasonably good reviews published up here and number of people said that their reviews are generally unbiased and best of to is that, they all review it with a good bit of personal experience. I read as many helpful reviews as possible on these types of products. Ultimately my girl friend, and me decided on Nivea Sun Spray factor 10. We took an average and found that the Nivea Sun Spray factor 10 seemed to be the best. Now the problem is getting it. We got hold of factor 2, factor 8 and even factor 15 but not 10. As...

Review of Nivea Sun Spray

~~~NIVEA SUN PROTECTION!~~~

Advantages: protects from harmful sun rays, moisturises! Is water-proof
Disadvantages: some ingredients ''harmful'' - but i doubt this -only rare

...moisturisers. It is brilliantly waterproof!! You can tell when you come out of the swimming pool that is still on you as it has that water-running-off-oil appearance as you first step out. In my experience I would say that it lasts for about 3 hours. After then we would usually top up a little bit, just incase! Nothing worse than red raw shoulders!! ~~~~~ PACKAGING ~~~~~ The bottle's appearance is very simplistic. As shown in the picture for this product it is ofcourse the trademark NIVEA blue. There is nothing special to the bottle, although it can be picked out easily from other moisturisers due to it's bright blue bottle. Although for this slightly lower price you are not expecting something unbelievably fancy. It is simple and gets the message of a moisturising sun tan lotion across easily and clearly. It also has the SPF marked clearly...

Review of Nivea Moisturising Lotion (Normal)

Spray Safe with Nivea Sun Spray!

Advantages: Nice bottle, easy to use, absorbed well.
Disadvantages: A little expensive unless bought on a deal.

...I love this product mainly because I am LAZY and if I am out in the sun it is usually on a beach where I would rather be having fun than slathering sun cream on! A quick and effortless way of protecting yourself from sun burn and sun damage, which with my fair skin makes it a vital product! This is a simple but great design. The ergonomic bottle is easy to hold, even with slippery hands and the spray lets out a generous burst of lotion that is easily rubbed into your skin. Because it's quicker and easier to use, you're more likely to bother applying it and I can imagine it's also a plus for impatient children who would rather squirm away and dive into the sea! I bought a bottle of this a couple of years ago and since I don't see too much sun here in the UK, I still have ample amounts left. I purchased it half-price on offer and it has...

Review of Nivea Sun Spray

Nivea firming lotion

Advantages: Good moisturiser
Disadvantages: It doesnt make my skin feel firm

...I fell in love with the Nivea Firming Lotion when I saw the advert promising firmer skin, I was going on holiday a few week after I saw the advert I was going away so I thought Id nip to my local drugstore which I paid £6.99 for 300ml to buy the product as I wanted my skin to look as good as possible for my jolly hols. The lotion comes in two bottle sizes I recommend you buy the bigger sized lotion as it works out cheaper then buying a few of the small. I used quiet a lot of this product because it says on the bottle to use it all over the body. I really liked the feel of this lotion on my skin as it was very cooling and very easy to rub in. I advice that if you do buy the product don't make the same mistake I made and squeeze the lotion out hard as you end up with lots on your hands, and it can become a bit messy. I don't think...

Review of Nivea Firming Lotion

Here comes the sun.

Advantages: See review
Disadvantages: See review

...Remember back in May we had that hot spell? I do! I got absolutely toasted! Phew! So the first thing I did once I'd stopped writhing in burning agony was to nip down the shops and buy some lotion. We always used to get Hawaiian Tropic, and I love the coconutty smell, but the ole' student budget just won't stretch that far, so I nipped into Wilkos to have a look there. They had 200ml bottles of Nivea Sun Mosturising Sun Lotion priced at £6.99. Bargainous. But I looked closer... reduced to £2 plus I'd get a free camera film! Wow! As you can imagine, I bought it. The wording on the blue bottle told me it protected against sunburn and premature skin ageing, which sounds great to me, and I plumped for factir 16, as I'm fairer than snow white on a rainy day in November, and so burn very easily. :-( (Actually, at the same time, I bought...

Review of Nivea Moisturising Sun Lotion

A kids sun cream that doesn't stain clothes

Advantages: It rubs in well, doesn't stain clothes
Disadvantages: Price

...Since we have just been on holiday, and in a shock fashion had to use sun cream as the sun was out every day, I thought it would be a good time to review the cream that I used on the kids. The Bottle -------------- The bottle is blue plastic with a yellow flip lid, which is flat so when you are nearing the end you can stand it upside down to try and get the last bits out! It contains 200ml of sun cream and has all the instructions on the back. It recommends you apply the cream (which is factor 50) before going into the sun and then again 20-30 minutes after, and any time after being in water, even though it is water resistant you can never be too careful with the little ones. The sun cream --------------------- The cream is a yellowy cream colour and the texture you would expect of a sun cream, it is easy to squeeze out...

Review of Nivea Sun Children

Nivea Sun Childrens Sun Spray

Advantages: water resistant, coloured initially, easy grip bottle, smells nice, works well, easy to apply
Disadvantages: runs out fast, slightly too runny, stains white clothing

...This product is specifically designed for children, it provides a very high level of protection against UVA and UVB rays (factor 40), claims to be extra water resistant and suitable for children's delicate skin as well as being coloured so that you can see where it has been applied (to avoid missing bits!). All of the above reasons made this sun spray seem like an ideal one to use on my little brother on our holiday. Nivea is a brand that I have always used and never had a problem with, so when I saw that tescos were selling two 200ml spray bottles for just £10, I brought this factor 40 kids product for my bother and a bottle of nivea sun spray factor 20 for the rest of us. As soon as we were at our hotel in Crete my brother wanted to be in the pool so it seemed the ideal time to test the water resistance of the sun spray as...

Review of Nivea Sun Childrens Sun Spray

SPF 45, cheap sun protection lotion.

Advantages: Cheap, good quality.
Disadvantages: Hard to find.

...I am reviewing SPF 45 not SPF 8 as in the picture, Ciao will not/cannot accept new product proposals at the moment so this seems to be the only way of doing this. I know some of you will gleefully 'jump' on this as being in the wrong place, go ahead, feel free. Surprisingly Ciao also do not ask at the bottom if it is SPF 45, they only go up to SPF 30, c'mon Ciao, sort it out, people are leaving in droves. Never heard of No-Ad products? Not surprising as they do not advertise, yet have been going sucessfully in the U.S since 1960, you can get more info on the company, what they do, what they believe in and so on here: http://www.no-ad.com/ No-Ad factor 45 is as simple as you might think, a factor 45 sun tan lotion, or to be correct 'Sun Protective Lotion'. As sun tan lotions go it is perfectly adequate, containing pretty much all...
