Overview I was introduced to P20 by my mum who cannot use most regular sun creams but comes out in prickly heat every time she goes in the sun. She's been using it for years and recommended it to me when I went to Greece. I was unsure whether the bottle (200mls) would last me a fortnight but using it every day it just about did. At this time you had to use it 90 mins before going in the sun so I just put it on every morning. I never reapplied it even though I was in and out of the water, and I never burnt. Fantastic. Packaging / contents The sun filter comes in a white packet with a red, orange and white large stripe across the top. The ...  Read the complete review

Riemann P20 sun filter is an amazingly effective product. I must admit that I was very wary of trusting it in the kind of heat you get in the Greek Islands, in August. My skin burns very easily and I have keep it well protected from the sun. I had always carried several different sun protection lotions and applied them periodically throughout the day. Using one product once a day, going swimming and lounging around the pool all day without having to reapply was a new idea for me. I constantly checked my skin all day, as I didn't trust this product. The instructions recommend that the lotion is applied once a day and left to soak into the skin for ...  Read the complete review

~Just to make you jealous, I'm somewhere warm At the moment I'm on holiday in India and grappling with the question that tugs at my mind on every holiday in a hot place; do I love or hate Riemann P20 sun block? This simple answer to that question is "Yes, I do" - I love it and I hate it in pretty much equal measure. I love it because it works and I've never got burned when using it BUT I hate it because it stinks, it sometimes stings and I can't help but feeling like I'm basting myself with creosote every time I use it. P20 is one of the most unpleasant smelling products I've ever used - certainly ever continued to use - but there's no ...  Read the complete review

Busy mum's know that when kids want to play out, they don't want to waste time standing in front of you while you make sure their delicate skin is protected from the strong sun. They want to be off now. I do prefer to use a higher rated sun protection product on long family day out where we will have high sun exposure for, and I have a SPF 50+ that I use on such occasions, but I have taken to using Riemann's as it is a long lasting product that is said to give ten hours of protection. I originally picked it up because my boys were at a private day nursery, and they asked me to provide a sunscreen to be applied to the kids before they went out to ...  Read the complete review

I always hate having to constantly reapply sunscreen and above all I hate the greasy feeling that a lot of sunscreen products leave on your skin after application, so P20 is a god send for me. One liberal application (an adult is recommended to use 30-40ml per application) is designed to last for 10 hours. However, as with all sunscreen products it is still recommended that you do not stay in the sun for longer than your skin type will allow and to seek shade during the hottest parts of the day. P20 provides SPF 20 and 4 star 'good' UAV protection, so allows very gradual tanning without burning. It is an oil as opposed to a cream so is absored almost ...  Read the complete review
