Yes, 10 hours. To my surprise I have heard no mention of it on these forums, so I had to post this to share this information.

I'm stocking up on this, because reapplying sunscreen is a pain. Now you know, a sunscreen that lasts 10 hours without reapplying exists. You're welcome

It has very good ingredients like Octocrylene, Uvinol A, avobenzone, Uvasorb HEB. Well at least the SPF30 AND 50 do. No way would I buy a spray sunscreen. A big mess and harder to tell if you applied enough.

 

I call BS on what they call 10 hour protection. They say it will retain it's long lasting protection even after swimming. They imply that even after 10 hours of swimming it will be effective. Pure BS

It is categorized as "Very Water Resistant". So are many other sunscreens and they sure as heck don't say you can swim that long without re-applying.

Maybe it does indeed offer 10 hour protection when swimming, excessive sweating, etc. are not involved.

 

It looks like an overall really good sunscreen. Zinc, Tinosorb S and Tinosorb M allow you to also go many hours without re-applying. Assuming no excessive sweating, towel dry, etc.

I would have no issues going 10 hours and not re-applying those sunscreens. I hardly ever need a sunscreen to be effective for that long however.

It seems promising to me. A Model Recommends  (popular Model on youtube) even says it's effective. From the reviews and vlogs I've read online it seems to do what it says it does so I wouldn't throw it off.

And this is a huge deal, because be honest- who wants to reapply sunscreen every 2 hours. Sprays aren't a problem, you can just spread it with once it's applied for full coverage.

Yea applying every 2 hours. I can't even imagine. Imagine being a woman wearing make-up and trying to do that.

 

I measure my sunscreen with a 1/4 tsp so spray sunscreens are out. We'll I must confess I use spray Bioderma Photomax on my hands but I don't spray it. I replaced the spray pump

and added a sprite top. I just pour it in the measuring spoon very carefully. Its runny as hell and kind of a pain.

I don't like the requirement to reapply sunscreen, but this sounds a little too good to be true.  All the other sunscreen makers who use the same ingredients say that you need to reapply?  That's what it sounds like.  For P20, we have the manufacturer claiming that you don't need to reapply, without any evidence to that effect.  And some model on youtube says it's "effective".  I have no problem believing that it's effective for a couple hours.  The question is what happens in a few hours when the chemicals have migrated deeper into the skin.  This is the point where you might be getting free radical formation.  How do we know that P20 doesn't do that?

I think that product just has big PR.  In Europe/Asia/Australia sunscreens that are stable and effective for many hours are common, so it's really not a big deal these days.  Mostly marketing.
