Riemann P20 Sunscreen SPF20 Lotion 200ml | Long Lasting UVA & UVB Protection for up to 10 hours | Highly Water Resistant

After years of having to slather on Factor 15 or Factor 20 sun cream every 45 minutes to an hour whenever I'm on the beach or in the sun P20 has revolutionised my holidays. I have not been burned when out in the sun in places like Thailand (every year), Turkey, Cyprus, Egypt, Greece, etc., in high season. I have very fair skin and burn quickly but not any more. If you follow the instructions and make sure the P20 is well rubbed in it will work. I tend to spend a lot of time in the water when I'm in hot countries but the P20 doesn't appear to wash off, giving me full protection. There can be a bit of staining on clothes but it isn't too bad and washes out of most items. I only wear natural fabrics (cotton, linen) and I've always managed to wash any discolouration/stains out. P20 isn't cheap to buy initially but it works out no more expensive than your bog standard sun creams because you only apply it once in the morning. The convenience of once a day sun protection is what keeps me using P20. For an 18 day trip I use just under three bottles which means that I don't burn for the whole of my holiday. Tanning is gradual using P20 but P20 F10 allows more tanning I will never go on holiday without P20, it is the first thing on my list to buy before departure. Riemann also do a mosquito repellant which is fantastic. It doesn't stink like other brands but works a treat. Apart from having fair skin that burns within 10 minutes of being in the sun I also have a blood type that biting insects love. The Riemann's stuff is like a cloaking device, mossies and other pests don't seem able to see me when I have it on.

I have been using P20 sunscreen for 25 years now and it is in a class of its own. Apply once at breakfast time and it lasts all day no matter how much you swim or sweat. I have used it on the equator and lain out at mid-day (I was younger and foolisher then) but no hint of burning, and skiing. Get a great tan and never burn, itch or have any problems. I am amazed that anyone ever buys any other kind of sunscreen. Oily, greasy stuff that needs re-applying: madness. P20 is just gently applied, not rubbed in. Perfect for children and nudists! Totally clear so women can add make up over it. Just make sure you apply carefully to all exposed areas because you won't be going over it a second time 'till the following day. This is a truly unique product that works perfectly. Try it and you will wonder why any other type exists.

If you want the short version then this is great and does exactly what it claims to. Now i burn very easily and have used many sun lotions with the same results sun - burn - peel - white again :( Or break out the albino sun cream then its white - sun - still white I found this 4 years ago in a duty free shop read the box and (rather skepticly) decided to try it. I have never looked back, it realy does last all day and yes you will tan not burn. Also the waterproof claims are true as it is even good for a day on the beach with lots of swimming. I was in turkey last year for 2 weeks and the "coldest" day was 45 (yes celcius) and i still mostly avoided burning. 2 points to consider are: 1) you need to put plenty on (and its not eactly cheap) 2) when you put it on it is quite sticky and will stain any fabric until it has soaked in which takes a few mins. If you can live with those 2 points then seriously you should try it. I bet you will never buy another brand, i have been paying £17 per bottle with no regrets for 4 years (until i found the price on here.)

Recently went to Mexico in 32’c temps. I’m fair skinned and tend not to tan too easily. Applied it 15 mins before going out in the sun. Cracking suntan now which is great and healthy looking. Make sure you apply P20 generously and rub it in well. Don’t let it touch clothes as it will stain. That said, staining wasn’t an issue for me as if it touched my beach shorts I simply rinsed it off with no lasting effects or staining. I swam at least 3-4 times a day in the pool and never needed to reapply, though it may be different for others. After swimming I dried off in the sun. Never felt like i was burning. Wore t shirts to go to lunch and still never needed to reapply after removing said garment. Using as the only tanning product for 2 weeks I did get through 2 bottles in 10 days. That said, it works fantastically well. This is my go to from now on. Would highly recommend.

P20 is great. Easy to apply due to not being a cream as such (more of a liquid). I do tend to use more than once during a day if out in the sun (I burn quite easily) but after a few years of use I have yet to burn whilst under the protection of P20 (used across a range of continents and heat types and in circumstances where I have had no choice but to be in the blazing sun all day - which btw is not recommended). Pros: -Easy to apply -Really does protect your skin (far better than all other sun protection lotions that I have used) - I stay burn free whilst everyone around me turns to crackling -The bottle goes quite far -Sand etc does not seem to stick to you as much Cons: -Due to runny nature, can get in your eyes (or maybe this is just me) -Avoid getting on clothes as much as possible as can leave yellow marks (which sometimes do not seem to wash out) - not an issue if just by a pool / on the beach Overall this stuff is great and cheaper on Amazon than anywhere else I can find. Another very good brand is Ultrasun (try John Lewis if not on here) - Ultrasun also makes a fantastic aftersun which is the best I've used.
