Advantages: fuss free and It really works!

Disadvantages: None

INTRODUCTION

Riemann P20 is a product which protects from sunburn (SPF20) but allows a tan to develop. It only needs to be applied once a day (10 hours protection) - however it is vital that the instructions for use are followed exactly. It's non-greasy, not shiny, and fragrance free once dry - so you no longer have to apply sticky sun creams throughout the day.

PACKAGING

The product is in a white plastic cylinder shaped container with a screw cap that covers a small hole where you pour the oil from. It comes in a box with a comprehensive information and instruction leaflet.

APPLICATION

Apply generously each morning in an even layer to clean, dry skin, at least 15 minutes before exposure to sun or swimming. Pay particular attention to the vulnerable areas such as the face, ears and nose, shoulders, shins, feet and the top of the head if your hair is thinning.
If your skin is VERY sun sensitive then it's recommended a repeat all-over application after 10 minutes to ensure an adequate even coverage.
The oil is quite runny and has a strong smell to begin with, but it absorbs quickly and is fragrance free when dry.

DOES IT WORK?

In my case yes it does. I have pale sun sensitive skin; I burn often and will only tan slightly if I spend a fortnight in a very hot country whilst constantly applying a high factor sun cream!
I have only burnt once with this product, and that was when I first started using it and didn't apply it properly. Since then I don't ever burn and always get a nice colour very easily!

WOULD I BUY IT AGAIN?

Definitely, I take it away on every holiday and use it in the UK during the summer.

ADDITIONAL TIPS

It's a bit fiddly until you get the hang of it, I didn't like it the first couple of times to be honest. However persevere because it is worth it!

Make sure you apply it evenly otherwise you will end up with a streaky burnt or tanned look - and that is not a good one!

Definitely apply BEFORE going out in public, as I said before it can be fiddly but gets easier with practice.

Excellent to use on kids before school during the summer, it covers them all day and retains 90% of its protection even after swimming.

Remember the sun is at its strongest and should be avoided between 11am and 3pm.

PRICE & STOCKISTS

100ml is £11.95; 200ml is around £20. You can buy it in most high street shops, supermarkets, department stores, online and in airport tax free shops.

Summary: In my opinion the best on the market
