Affordable, work as it promises – I bought it at Priceline for 13AUD and been using quite a while and totally satisfied since it works as it promises in the package: "ultra… Read more

light-weight cream-gel formula...instantly absorbed, it leaves a silky, light skin feeling".

Yes, apart from "moisturizing" which I can not test since I always put on a layer of moisturizer before sunscreen, everything else works well. It does absorb very quickly and leaves no residues and gives skin the silky, light feeling. It does work well under makeup.

Nothing outstanding yet it works. So if you are looking for something for daily routine which is practical and affordable, this is the one.

Just one note that it is still a chemical sunscreen so those who have sensitive skin should notice and always put on moisturizer before sunscreen.

Good price/performance.

Do not use this sunscreen. Even when applying correctly and multiple times within the time frame you will burn. Badly burnt and blistered after using this sunscreen. Show details

Useless – Myself and my wife applied liberally 30 mins before going into the sun. We then walked the dogs for approximately 30-45 mins without swimming or… Read more

rubbing product off. That night we were both completely burned. My wife is prone to sunburn while I am not, yet we were both burned.

I love this under makeup! – This is a fabulous sunscrern for kids and adults with sensitive skin. Looks great under makeup which is surprising given that it comes out of the bottle blue! Very gentle around the eyes too. Have not had any staining of clothes -highly recommend.  Show details

Bought on sale. My first gripe was I would get a few sprays in and the trigger lid would detach itself and sunscreen spattered all over the floor. I… Read more

didn’t get a chance to exchange yet and had a day at the tennis. We had the first 2 hours of the match in the sun. I had applied on the way to the venue and reapplied after about an hour sitting and watching in the sun. After that we were shaded and thankfully so. I still got burned. Looking at the other reviews I am thankful I only received a mild burn. At least instead of exchange I was able to swap for cancer council. Never again.

Doesn't work – I am a redhead with fair skin, so I am somewhat obsessive about applying and reapplying sunscreen. I recently purchased the Nivea Sport spray SPF50+… Read more

to replace a generic pharmacy brand sunscreen that I had run out of. I follow the directions and shake the bottle vigorously, then apply liberally to exposed skin. I habitually reapply susncreens every 2 hours or sometimes every 1 and a half hours, just to be sure. There are 4 problems with this product. 1: It doesn't work. I ended up with a mild sunburn on my arms even after applying and reapplying. I'd used a Hamilton's face sunscreen on my face and neck and my face and neck were fine. 2: It's very runny and when you spray it into your hand or directly on your arms/legs, it ricochets off and you get spots of it on the floor/walls. 3: It smells bad. 4: It causes mild stinging when applied to the skin. I've never had such problems with other sunscreens. I ended up buying another different brand of sunscreen to use on areas other than my face/neck. I'll never use Nivea again and I believe their sunscreens should be independently tested. Judging by other product reviews of the other Nivea spray, it doesn't work either.
