“Never again”
Written on: 14/06/2013
Used this product for the first and last time, it stung my eyes and left an oily residue even after leaveing to dry longer than the recomended time. I didnt like the smell and it stained light coloured clothes and ruined them and even melted my nail polish you would need to wear rubber gloves when appying it to avoid this problem. I did burn slightly maybe I should have used a factor higher than 20. The only plus point to this product is the once a day application but the cons outway the one... (read more)
“Dissappointed with SPF50+”

The P20 SPF50+ did stop me burning but every outfit that I wore has been ruined as I cannot get the stains out. I followed the instructions but when you are in a hot country you sweat and then the P20 rubs onto your clothes. (read more)

“A new container for 2013!!!!”
Written on: 08/06/2013
I have used P20 for at least 10 years with no problem apart from the staining, which is well documented & disappears once dry However the makers have brought out "a new & improved container" it is disastrous, it now has a flip lid to allow the liquid to be poured, it just pours out and the outer cap has been replaced by a snap on lid from the screw variety, I would suggest that you keep your old bottle and continue to use that, I have gone through more P20 in a week than I previously did in...

“SPF 50+ P20 Spray - So Far, So Good”
Written on: 09/04/2013 by snapdragon777 (2 reviews written)
As a very fair-skinned person who's going to live on the equator for a while, I'm testing out a good few sunscreens. So far this one scores highly, although I've only had a chance to test it on a British sunny day, not an African one! I've tested carefully for the other issues people have mentioned - irritation, oiliness, staining - but didn't find any disadvantages that would outweigh the light feel, all-day protection and high SPF. In detail: I didn't react, so I assume some people are... (read more)

I have fair skin and easily burn. Over years of holidaying I have used every sun cream, high factors and often applying and yet still burn. I was very wary about using this lotion once a day and I could not believe it, not once did I burn and I was in and out the pool and never thought twice about reapplying. I even got a brilliant tan!

“All Day Sun Protection”

I recently used P20 Factor 20, I applied it myself to my legs and arms, then to my husbands back. I suffered a violent reaction on my hands, I was left with red bumps, which were so painful, both hands felt as if they were on fire, and my skin felt really thin, a week later I have the remains of the blisters as evidence and hard callouses as if I have been burned. I was in Grenada and managed to get some cortisone cream from the pharmacy, which did certainly calm it down. I will never buy... (read more)
Cusochris's Comment
Written on: 10/06/2013
Omg the exact same thing happened to me. I thought it was because I seem to have a lot of allergies, but clearly I'm not the only one to react. I don't usually do patch tests over 48 hours like they tell you to, but my husband suggested I do cause the lotion goes over a large area of skin. I rubbed in the lotion on the back of my hand and initially just felt a slight burn and itch which seemed to ease. Twenty four hours later I woke to find large chemical type burns over the area I rubbed the lotion on. I must have rubbed the skin off of the blisters when I washed first thing and the result is a number of very sore and hot scabs, which are unbelievably sore to touch and when I move my hand. It scares me to think what could have happened if I had used the lotion over the rest of my body.

“What's happened to P20?”
Written on: 11/08/2012 by mj73
I am so disappointed. After years of using P20 and singing it's praises to everyone I will never use it again. Used it on holiday this year, hadn't been abroad for a couple of years so was unaware that the formula had changed and boy has it changed. Left a really oily film on skin, whereas previously it left no residue on skin after application. It's stained all our light clothes to the point that I have had to throw all the white items away as it's totally ruined them. This was never a... (read more)

I used this years ago and found it very good even in the heat of August in Tenerife, so when i was going to New Zealand I decided to try it there> I was doubtful that it would work as well there as there is little ozone rotection but it worked every bit as well and I didn't burn once! I did notice that it was more oily than previously but did eventually dry off. I would use it again and recommend it but there is the slight drawback of white items getting marked but it wasn't too bad.

“Riemann P20 stained our swimming pool”
Written on: 14/07/2012 by eddieF322 (1 review written)
Recent visitore used Riemann P20 sun cream every day, and swam in our chlorinated pool, which has a white-painted wall which runs up asnd over to provide a white outline about a foot wide around the pool. From day 2, the waterline was stained a brown/yellow colour, and this required vigorous scrubbing to remove. This had to be done every day, to the point where we basgan to become concerned about the paint thinning. Immediately our visitors departed, the problem ceased. Riemann's website... (read more)

“Fantastic product, needs careful application”
Written on: 06/08/2011 by lojolondon (1 review written)
This is the best sun protection there is. I am from South Africa and have used it for at least 15 years, maybe more. Nothing protects like P20 Riemann. Because it is a single-application system, be careful when you apply it because if you miss a spot you will know all about it - there will be a bright red area between all the protected areas and then you will know how good this product is! I recommend it to all my friends. It is widely used in South Africa, especially by lifeguards, farmers... (read more)

Smothered myself in P10 having never used it before as I wasn't sure how much you're supposed to use. Still got burnt all over. Previously used nivea factor 10 with no problems. I also found when applying P10 that it stings the skin in some areas, especially if you get it on your lips. And if you get it in your eyes (ie from sweating) it was total agony. It also stinks. WOuldn't recommend it at all. Waste of 16 euros. (read more)

Love this stuff, I live in Australia and in the summer I apply it once a day go out in the sun, in and out of the pool, on the beach and in the sea. I can honestly say I have never burnt nor gone red after exposure to the sun when wearing this product. My teenage daughter has fair skin and she too uses P20 and does not burn nor go red in the sun. It's brilliant and I will never use any other sun product. You still tan and don't burn, one application and your set for the day. Top product!!! (read more)

I first heard about Reimann's P20 about 10 years ago from a fellow sun-bather in Lanzarotte. He had had skin cancer and been advised by his Doctor to use this stuff. I thought he was pushing his luck a bit still sun-bathing! -However I tried it and forked out £20 for a 200ml bottle - a bit steep, I thought, but it spread so well you do not need as much as you would of other lotions. I've used it ever since. I have just bought a bottle for my 2011 hols in Cyprus and cannot believe it. ... (read more)

Application has to be thorough and you must allow time for the product to dry on your skin - if it's still wet it'll wash off. Skin does feel tacky afterwards, but this is a small inconvenience to put up with versus the...

I first started to use this product twenty years ago when my friend had 4 small blonde haired boys. They never burned whilst using P20. However, I could never go abroad at that time because I got 'prickly heat' very badly and the doctors told me this was because all the sun creams I had used sealed the sweat inside and this was what made me itch, not the actual sun. I tried P20 which could only be bought at the airport at that time and the prickly heat was nearly none existant and so I... (read more)

I was really disappointed with this. I have fair skin that burns easily and the thought of being free from almost constant reapplication of cream really appealed to me. I tried this out on holiday in Greece a couple of times and I burned badly. Not sure if this is because I didn't apply properly or it just wasn't a high enough factor. Application is tricky as you basically have to apply it all over and wait around naked for 10-15 mins for it to dry - which is fine if you're on holiday with a... (read more)

I have been using P20 for six years, and have also always used it on the kids (even when they were very young) and it is quite simply the only product you need.
Anyone who has burnt using this product has simply not used it properly, as we have been away over twenty times and have never burnt, despite being in and out of the sea/pool, running around or just lying on a towel by the pool. This includes 40 degrees plus in USA, Caribbean, etc. My son is very fair skinned and he gets on...

hi there,
i dont know how old are your children but you should use spf50 or total on kids.
also you should aply the cream at least 30 mins b4 sunb exsposure so the skin can absorb the cream.
sun stroke is something compleatly different from sun burn and sun cream lotions do not prevent sun stroke. it s the combination of heat, sun and humidity as well as dehydration that cause sun stroke.
also if your kids were playing around and were sweating they should reaply the sun cream

A POPULAR suncream which does not protect the skin from UVA rays, long known to cause wrinkles and increasingly linked to skin cancer, is among a number of products withdrawn from sale by a major pharmacy chain here.
The chain of 56 Unicare pharmacies confirmed it no longer sells Rienmann's P20 suncream which offers a \"tan without burning\".
The product which remains on sale in many other outlets has been sold here for many years and has been used on children because it only needs to be applied once a day.
UVB rays are known to be instrumental in causing skin cancer but studies increasingly indicate that UVA can not only leave the skin leathering and wrinkled but may also compound the damage to cells caused by UVB.
There is no warning given on either the box of Rienmann's P20 suncream or the patient information leaflet within that UVA rays may be dangerous.
P20 has a sun protection factor (SPF) of 20 but users may not be aware an SPF rating only applies to the protection from the UVB rays which cause sunburn.
The Irish Cancer Society advises the public to choose good UVA and UVB protection with an SPF of 15 and above, and to apply it every two hours.
\"Sun screens should be applied liberally and repeatedly especially after sport and swimming,\" said Dr Gillian Murphy, consultant dermatologist and advisor to the Irish Cancer Society.
Dr Murphy said that UVA protection should be high in a sunscreen, ideally equivalent to but not less than half the SPF. For example, an SPF of 60 with a UVA protection of 30. Sunscreens using the star system give 4-5 stars to high UVA protection, she added.
Paul O'Hanlon, managing director of Unicare Pharmacy, said his company had decided in February to support the Irish Cancer Society's \"SunSmart\" criteria and was now in the process of delisting and removing all stock that did not meet the guidelines.
\"The policy we follow is not directed at any particular sun care brand - it's a policy in line with the criteria of SunSmart as set out by the Irish Cancer Society,\" he said.
Unicare Pharmacy's aim was to attain the \"best standard there is in suncare\", he said, \"so we list products that are in line with the SunSmart criteria.\"
The company will launch a Responsible Selling Initiative in support of the Cancer Society's SunSmart campaign on May 5.
Riemann and Co, which is based in Denmark, said its product was \"completely safe to use.
\"It is specifically designed for people who wish to tan and therefore does not contain VA filter,\" said Ms Anita Hube of Riemann customer services.
\"If Unicare Pharmacy decides not to carry the product any more, that is of course their choice.\"
The Consumers' Association of Ireland said the sunscreen industry was covered by EU cosmetic products regulations.
These regulations needed to be tightened to ensure that any products that claim to be sun screens offered a minimum level of guaranteed protection.
Dermott Jewell, chief executive of the CAI, said that consumers health cannot be put at risk by products that contravene public health advice.

Written on: 14/06/2010
I have always used this product and now it only takes 15 minutes to activate. It definitely works out cheaper than conventional sunscreens as it is only applied ONCE. However the only concerns I`ve had are that if you lie down on your back or front on a sunbed or beach towel it may rub off. I can say that once applied if you go for brekkie etc. and wear a light shirtor baggy t-shirt, it wont really remove it. I was concerned that it would rub off from my shoulders and they would then burn.... (read more)

I have used P20 on a number of diving holidays when taking a wet suit off and on meant that I was having to re-apply sun tan lotion every time. P20 sounded great and worked very well HOWEVER I have now been made aware of UVA & UVB.

Overall absolutley brilliant would recommend to all my friends and not use any other suncream - It makes holidays really easy.

I never burned with p20 and p10, however if you are by the pool etc., you probably don`t want to lie down on a sunlounger as this may wipe the product off. I was concerned that if I Lay back then I would burn that area I had been lying on as it may have rubbed off.
Def. true about once only application and you can for example put P10 on your arms and legs and P20 elsewhere depending on tan results!

Myself and my partner have been using P10 & P20 for the last two years. Most recently, P10 in France where the temperature hit 30+ every single day for 9 days! We were out in the sun for hours at a time and even whilst I am very thin on top, neither of us burnt at any point - just started turning a nice brown colour.
I cannot recommend this highly enough, but you do have to be sure it is applied completely and get someone to do the bits of you that you can't reach!

If you are one of those people who will never ever tan like me (Red Hair from top to toe!!) then Riemann P20 Sunfilter is the only product I have found that actually allows you to enjoy a holiday in the sun and given that I can burn on a sunny day in a British winter that is saying something.
You still need to be careful but I was able to spend up to 6 hours in the full sun (not between 11am and 2pm though) and not burn.

Written on: 12/08/2009
only applied to my children as they hate having cream on! initial tingling when applying - especially to face or where previous sun burn! would certainly use again and when run out children moaned that they wanted to use p20. It smelt on alcohol, however it absorded easily with no greasy residue. You didn't need ot use too much for each application and the factor was pretty accurate, the children had a delightful colour but was far from being burnt when using P20. I would certainly...

Written on: 08/08/2009
Myself and my cousin brought Riemann P20 once a day sunfilter in the airport on the way to Turkey. It lasted 1 week with both of us using it. neither of us burnt at all. we put it on when we got up, waited 15mins and it was dry. It was easy to apply, slight smell. we were in and out of the pool all day and didn't need to apply another coat until the next day. we both came home with good tans. I am off to Rhodes with my husband and children and will be taking this product with me. (read more)

WRONG " it clearly states on the box that "P20 can stain some fabrics" and to read the instruction leaflet carefully (this has a detailed section on staining).

Written on: 03/06/2009
One comprehensive covering of Riemann P20 Sunfilter before exposure gives effective day long protection which is waterproof and sweatproof. Oil based alternatives end up being wiped off the highly vulnerable nose and forehead at the start of sweating because nobody wants washable sunblock in their eyes. P20 is the only effective sunblocks for sports or water use. (read more)

I love Reimann P20 Sunfilter! I'm the kind of person that can burn or tan, but with P20 I never burn and always tan - it's like magic! Was out all day in 35degree heat in France, and 40+ in the caribbean and I have never burnt with it on. (The old formula required you to put it on an hour before going out in the sun - my sister got horrendous sunstroke from ignoring this advice!) Allows you to tan - two thumbs up, as vain as that makes me sound. Never burnt with it on, saving me a lot of... (read more)
“I've been a user of Riemann P20 since 1992, 17 years!...”
Written on: 02/06/2009 by Cheeze439 (1 review written)
I've been a user of Riemann P20 since 1992, 17 years! I'm fair haired/skinned and have always had trouble with burning and sun stroke when I was younger. Since discovering P20 I have been able to fully enjoy all my holidays. I hate regular sun creams and find I have to top them up too often, I hate the feel of them and generally find they just don't work for me. But for me P20 does exactly what it claims to do (even the new forumula that some don't like). I do get some tanning through it,... (read more)

We have used this product for the last few years and have been pleased with it. However, the manufacturer must have changed the formula this year as it went on initially slightly yellower. we had half a bottle from last year and there was definitely a difference.
We had a disaster at the end of our holiday when the second bottle had stained the sheets at the Greek hotel and we were charged for the sheets and towels to be replaced. stains had not come out in the wash. Initially I thought the...

I agree the manufacturer must have changed the formula, I have used P20 for the past 5 years and it did slightly stain light coloured clothing - but stains did come out in the normal wash. But this year we have just returned from a 10 day holiday in Oman and all our white clothing is stained yellow and it will not come out in the wash, even when washed with biological wash tablets at a 90 degree temperature - we have had to throw away many items of clothing, totally ruined and impossible to wear again. So beware when using this product - I think I will progress this further with the manufacturer and in the meantime have a look for an alternative product which does not stain.

Have you tried Ultrasun? This is a top end once a day product at a similar price point and doesn't leave any stains! Recommended by professionals also. thesuncareshop.com has a great range at good prices with the added bonus of uk delivery!
