Sunscreen, an essential item for the season when you are worried about UV rays. Nivea sells a variety of sunscreens to choose from for comfort and texture. Review three types from them.

◆ NIVEA SUN Super Water Gel
A UV gel that feels like a lotion and keeps the stratum corneum water-retaining and prevents it from drying out. Contains osmotic hyaluronic acid, a moisturizing ingredient. SPF50 / PA +++. Fragrance-free, color-free, allergy tested. The purchase price of the 140g (4.94oz) pump type is 850 yen.


A texture that is fresh and fits well on the skin. There is no squeak peculiar to sunscreen, and it looks like you are applying lotion. Since it is smooth, it can be extended over a wide range with one push. It seems to be comfortable to use even on sticky skin due to heat. It's not waterproof, so it's perfect for a little daily outing.


◆ NIVEA SUN Zero Feeling UV Lotion
A quick-drying UV lotion that feels like bare skin. SPF50 + / PA ++++ protects the skin from UV rays. Contains osmotic hyaluronic acid, a moisturizing ingredient. Fragrance-free, color-free, allergy tested. The purchase price is 880 yen with 100 ml.


Since it contains powder, be sure to shake it well before use. It hangs down as soon as you put it on your skin more freshly than gel, so it's a good idea to put it on your palm and spread it. It blends smoothly into the skin and gives a smooth finish as if nothing had been applied. Recommended for those who don't like the feeling of having a sunscreen film. It's not waterproof, so you'll need to reapply it frequently when you're out for a long time or when you sweat.


◆ Nivea SUN Cream Care UV Cream
An SPF50 + / PA ++++ cream that prevents UV-A, which causes firmness and elasticity, and UV-B, which mainly causes stains. A highly moisturizing type that contains the moisturizing ingredients (jojoba oil, squalane) that are also included in Nivea cream and the highly water-retaining hyaluronic acid that is a moisturizing ingredient. Light diffusing powder smoothes pores and uneven skin. Slightly fragrant, uncolored, allergy tested. The purchase price is 720 yen with 50g (1.76oz).


It stretches thinly and smoothly and fits the skin without whitening. It is the most moisturizing of the three types and does not feel dry even when worn for a long time. It doesn't cover acne and pores so much, but for natural makeup, it's enough to use this as a makeup base and layer face powder. It is not waterproof.


The gel is easy to spread and the lotion is as comfortable as bare skin, and the cream is moisturizing. All can be used on the face and body and can be removed with the usual soap and face wash. It may be good to use lotion when spending time outside in the hot weather, and cream when you are concerned about the dryness of the air conditioner, depending on the scene.
