NIVEA Sun Protect and White Oil Control Serum SPF 50 15ml

Description

🌤️ What It Is

• The product is a lightweight face‑serum sunscreen in a 15 ml (or larger) size tube, intended for daily use on the face.
• It combines sun protection (SPF 50+ / PA+++/PA++++) with oil control and pore‑refining benefits, suitable for oily or combination skin.
• The formula is described as non‑greasy, fast-absorbing, and non-comedogenic (i.e. designed not to clog pores or trigger acne).

✅ Key Features & Benefits

• Broad‑spectrum UV protection — SPF 50+ protects against UVB; the PA+++ / PA++++ rating helps protect against UVA, guarding skin from sunburn, pigmentation, and premature aging.
• Oil control & matte finish (up to ~12 hr) — thanks to components like L‑Carnitine and “Matte Defense Complex”, the serum helps reduce excess sebum and keeps skin matte rather than shiny.
• Pore‑refining / non‑comedogenic — claims to help prevent clogged pores and breakouts even on oily or acne‑prone skin.
• Lightweight & makeup‑friendly — the texture is light and silky, so it layers well under makeup and works as a base.
• Brightening / skin‑tone improving effect — some versions of the product pair sun protection with skin‑brightening claims (often via licorice‑root or similar extracts) aiming for a more even tone.

🧴 Ingredients & Formula Highlights

Based on publicly available ingredient lists:

Some of the active / functional ingredients:

• UV filters: Homosalate, Butyl Methoxydibenzoylmethane (Avobenzone), Ethylhexyl Salicylate, Octocrylene, Phenylbenzimidazole Sulfonic Acid — these work together to provide UVA/UVB protection.
• Skin‑conditioning / oil‑control agents: L‑Carnitine (helps control sebum production), Glycyrrhiza Inflata Root Extract (licorice root) / Glycyrrhetinic Acid (soothing / potentially brightening), Glycerin (moisturizer), Silica derivatives & Dimethicone (for texture / matte finish), some alcohols / emollients / stabilizers.
• General formulation features: The serum is formulated to be fragrance‑free and paraben‑free (in many markets) to make it more suitable for sensitive or acne-prone skin.

Important to know: Because it uses chemical UV filters (not mineral), re‑application is needed if you sweat heavily, swim, or stay long in sun. Also, some alcohols/emollients in the formula might be drying or irritating for very sensitive or dry skin types.

📦 How to Use / When to Use

• Use as the last step of your morning skincare routine: after cleanser / moisturizer.
• Apply evenly over face (and neck, if desired) before sun exposure or before makeup — the light serum texture helps it absorb quickly and act as a makeup base.
• Reapply as needed: after heavy sweating, swimming, or extended sun exposure — as with any sunscreen.
