Review
What this product is
Written after the analysis, from the same sources the score is built on: the manufacturer's documentation, available studies and verified owner feedback.
Nivea's Invisible Daily UV-Fluid is a sensible low-cost option for people who want a light SPF 50+ they will actually wear every day. Its main evidence is outside the brand: it was one of the 14 products in Stiftung Warentest's face-sunscreen test (issue 4/2025). As with the others, the grade is behind the paywall, so we know it was tested but not how it scored.
The documentation we could reach is thin. Nivea's German face-sun category page lists the product as a 40 ml fluid with an average of 4.8/5 from 214 reviews, but we could not open an individual product page, so we have not seen the INCI, the UV filters or any UVA figure from the manufacturer. That is reflected in its low specification score; check the box for the filter list and the UVA circle logo. On notino.de it costs 10.50 euros for 40 ml, or 26.25 euros per 100 ml — level with the Garnier hyaluronic fluid as the cheapest per millilitre here. If you want to know exactly what you are putting on your face, the Garnier and Beauty of Joseon products publish far more.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Why is the specification score low?
We could only open Nivea's face-sun category page, not a product page, so we did not see the INCI, the UV filters or any UVA data from the manufacturer.
Did Stiftung Warentest test it?
Yes, the 'Nivea Sun Invisible Daily UV-Fluid' is one of 14 products in issue 4/2025. The grade is only visible to paying readers.
