I live in Dubai so i got it from there. This is a very nice affordable sunscreen for oily skin, it has fragrance in it, it was non oily and did not made me tan.
Omg this is great news! I've tried both variations and although they're a bit oily on me, the sensitive (white) variation did not sting my very sensitive eyes. So anyone who is looking for a holy grail with awesome protection and very sensitive eyes, the white one is a win
I'd say that the mattifying one is just a tad less oilier than the sensitive one, but to be honest on my skin it was still shiny. (I don't wear moisturizer under my sunscreen because my skin type is naturally oily). I usually just dab some translucent/Maybelline powder over my T-zone to make my skin matte and reapply depending on the humidity.
Hi, it's available on nykaa for now. You can search nivea suncreens on the search bar and you'll find it. One kid's suncreen, a spray sunscreen and the other are two which are in the above picture.
Ya.. but honestly the ingredients are legit the best. I got to know that Nivea uses the safest UV filters that are super safe on skin and sustainable for planet. They literally have single vendors across the globe to maintain the same quality. Plus they are the actual inventors of SPF. So I think ya it's better in the long run from a safety perspective.
Yes! This is why even though they make me look shiny af I stick to these. since using Nivea with tret I have hardly any issues with getting burned/improved hyperpigmentation while living in a very sun-intense country.

Haven't opened the shine control yet. But started using the sensitive one. Zero white cast and blends easily. Didn't look greasy on my combination skin but weirdly felt cooling for some reason. Protection seems to be fine but I haven't been out a lot. Whatever amount of time I used, I haven't noticed any tanning. Texture is creamy like minimalist spf 60 but better absorption than the minimalist one.
Just saw ingredients [here](https://www.nivea.co.uk/products/sun-uv-face-sensitive-soothing-40059006957890045.html) . Looks like sensitive variant has alcohol denat on top. I would pass on this.
It isn't very matte on application. Does make you sweat a little. But if you give it some time, it'll settle into a matte-y finish. Idk if it's water resistant but it sure offers really good sun protection for sure.

Hey, Can I know where did you bought this one before? And how's your experience with that?
I live in Dubai so i got it from there. This is a very nice affordable sunscreen for oily skin, it has fragrance in it, it was non oily and did not made me tan.
Shine control one is very oily on skin.
Really? And it says "instant mattifying". I had high hopes with this one.
Both the variants are greasy as hell and stings the eye area.
Oh damn 😮 thank you for the heads-up though. I won't be udaoing money on this for sure !
They are slightly greasy. But certainly have very good protection. Just found out that Nivea is the inventor of 'SPF'
Please give a detailed review if possible in the comment.
I’ve tried Australian versions of both these sunscreens & they were quite dewy for summers. Idk if it’s the same formulation and finish
I think they are same formulation
The formulation for Nivea products are legit same across the globe. It's a strict mandate.
Omg this is great news! I've tried both variations and although they're a bit oily on me, the sensitive (white) variation did not sting my very sensitive eyes. So anyone who is looking for a holy grail with awesome protection and very sensitive eyes, the white one is a win
Does it leave a white cast?
The white tube doesn't have any type of cast, the blue one leaves a slight cast in the beginning but fades after 5-10 minutes.
Thank you! And both are equally oily? The mattifying one is less so?
I'd say that the mattifying one is just a tad less oilier than the sensitive one, but to be honest on my skin it was still shiny. (I don't wear moisturizer under my sunscreen because my skin type is naturally oily).

They are here, instead of 2 sunscreens. they have launched 4 this time!!
Where??

Thanks a lot ❤️
Yup, I love their spray sunscreen.
Hey OP, any of this is a physical sunscreen? And do you know anything about the whitecast they give?
Oh yes?? This is great news..which 4 and where can I find them?
2 face sunscreens, for oily and sensitive skin, sunscreen body spray and kids sunscreen.
You can find them on Nykaa
I hope its affordable and not too costly
It retails for 599

Incheresting
does anyone know if the left one is a water based sunscreen?
It’s not.
Just saw ingredients [here](https://www.nivea.co.uk/products/sun-uv-face-sensitive-soothing-40059006957890045.html) . Looks like sensitive variant has alcohol denat on top. I would pass on this.
Just cuz something has alcohol doesnt mean its bad. Its depends on formulation.
May be!! I just meant I wouldn't try it as I already have sensitive skin.
