Review
This Japanese version of spf Nivea has an watery, fluid, gel-like toner consistency as described by the manufacturer, with a rather strong smell of alcohol, but the smell disappears after the product is absorbed into the skin. It has a yellowish color, somewhat transparent, but once massaged and absorbed into the skin, it leaves no white marks at all.
Nivea leaves a LIGHT dewy look, an ok gloss of healthy skin, so to speak. In my case, this spf unfortunately stings my eyes, very bad indeed, sometimes even leading to headaches. It seems that this aspect is not generally valid because a lot of people have told me that I do not suffer from this.
Ingredients
Water, ethylhexyl methoxycinnamate, ethanol, PG, dimethicone, ethylhexyltriazone, hexyl diethylaminohydroxybenzoyl benzoate, sodium hyaluronate, phellodendron bark extract, quince seed extract, tocopherol acetate, (Acrylate / alkyl acrylate (C10-30)) ) Crosspolymer, Carbomer, Setes-10, Na Hydroxide, BHT, Methylparaben
Nivea does not contain perfume or essential oils, but it does contain alcohol, as mentioned above, and it is not waterproof either. This spf has in its formula 3 sunscreens: Octinoxate (UVB), Uvin T 150 (UVB), Uvin A Plus (UVA). My dehydrated combination skin with a tendency to dehydrate did not have an acne worsening reaction or anything in the purging area. This sunscreen does peel, being a good make-up base. Alcohol, being one of the first ingredients, tends to dry out the skin, so it is recommended to be applied over a moisturizer. Reapply during the day is very simple and easy without loading the skin. The product comes in a generous 140 ml package with a practical pump, and the quantity-price ratio is very good.
Yay or Nay?
It's a nay for me because it stings my eyes. A solution for people who love it and do not want to give it up for this reason, could be the application of a different SPF in the eye area. Another trick I used was fixing it with powder and makeup plus mascara. It lasts about 8 hours until it "stretches" again and migrates into the eyes.
