Nivea Japan UV Super Water Gel EX Waterproof SPF50+ PA++++ 80g

Nivea UV Water Gel EX 80g SPF50+ PA++++ is a waterproof water-gel sunscreen for oily and normal skin that needs SPF50+ PA++++ protection with enhanced water-resistance for swimming, beach, or heavy perspiration — combining the lightweight water-gel texture of the standard Nivea Super Water Gel with added durability against water and sweat.

• SPF50+ PA++++ — maximum UV protection for face and body
• Waterproof formula — designed for sustained protection during swimming and heavy perspiration
• Water-gel texture — lightweight, non-sticky finish despite waterproof formulation
• Fast absorption — no heavy residue even with the additional water-resistance agents
• 80g — standard size for face and neck daily use
• No white cast — suitable for all skin tones

How it works: Waterproofing in sunscreen is achieved through film-forming polymers that create a more cohesive, water-repellent UV layer on the skin surface. These polymers hold UV filter molecules in place during water contact rather than allowing them to wash off. The EX designation indicates these additional water-resistance agents versus the standard Super Water Gel formula.

Nivea UV Water Gel EX vs Nivea Super Water Gel: The Super Water Gel (pump or refill) is the everyday lightweight option for general daily use. This EX version adds specific waterproofing for beach, pool, or high-sweat activity. If your sunscreen use is primarily indoors or low-activity outdoor, the standard Super Water Gel is sufficient. For swimming or beach days, the EX is the appropriate choice within the Nivea range.

Known in Japan as ニベアUV ウォータージェルEX 80g.
