BUY FROM EBAY: Riemann P20 SPF30 Sunscreen Spray
Sun protection is an essential part of any healthy lifestyle, especially for those who spend a lot of time outdoors. But reapplying sunscreen all the time can be a hassle.
P20 Sunscreen has a unique selling point: long-lasting protection with just one application.
The price is on the high side compared to other brands, but it only needs to be applied once a day. It is also very effective at protecting your skin.
Sun Protection Factor (SPF)
P20 is available in different SPFs, ranging from SPF 15 to SPF 50.
I am a fair-skinned blonde with freckles, so I have to wear sunscreen every day. Due to my skin tone, I prefer to wear a minimum of SPF 30 to ensure full sun protection.
It provides UVA protection that exceeds the EU recommendation. It also helps protect against UVB rays.
Long-Lasting
P20 lasts up to 10 hours.
This is a big plus.
No more worrying about reapplying every few hours during a long hike or a day at the beach.
One application in the morning and you’re good to go all day. Peace of mind.
Sweat and Water Resistant
Because I’m a keen hiker and swimmer, sweat and water resistance are key features in a sunscreen
Sweat and water resistance are actually different scenarios.
Water resistance means water entering the skin from the outside, whereas sweat resistance is a force from within.
I’ve found it to be very effective for both problems.
Easy To Use
It is a non-greasy, non-sticky, clear liquid that comes in a spray bottle. This makes it easy to apply in those ‘hard to reach’ areas.
P20’s lightweight consistency makes it easy to rub in. When applied correctly, it provides even coverage with no missed areas.
It’s a fast-absorbing liquid. It generally soaks into the skin in about 15 to 20 minutes.
Fragrance
This product is advertised as odourless, but I’ve found it has a distinctive scent. I think this might be due to the presence of denatured alcohol (which helps to dry and preserve the product).
Personally, I don’t mind the smell, but it’s worth mentioning just so you know.
Ingredients
P20 is free of PABA and other potentially harsh chemicals.
The sunscreen contains a variety of ingredients to achieve its SPF and water resistance properties. The list of ingredients may seem lengthy, but it simply details the sunscreen formula.
Other Points
Here are a few other points worth mentioning:
- 10 hours sun protection – P20 is designed to ensure that one application per day is enough (if applied correctly and with no missed areas). P20 is proven to work for up to 10 hours thanks to a highly stable formula that doesn’t break down when exposed to heat or sunlight.
- No artificial preservatives – P20 is free from added colours, fragrances and other preservatives, making it a good choice for those with sensitive skin.
- Very water resistant – P20 is proven to stay effective in water. In fact, it is rated ‘Very Water Resistant’, the highest rating available. Tests have shown that the P20 maintains its protection level after 4 x 20 minutes in water.
- Application – apply to clean, dry skin at least 15 minutes before exposure to the sun. Suitable for the whole family.
Final Thoughts
As someone with fair skin and a love of the outdoors, I’m always on the lookout for effective sunscreens. After trying Riemann P20, I found it to be a game changer, especially when swimming and hiking. The one-application aspect is brilliant.
This product suits my busy, on-the-go lifestyle, which makes sun protection an easy priority each day. When following the instructions properly, I have never burned my skin.
I highly recommend this product.
Hope this review is helpful.
