Isehan Sunkiller Super Lasting Base SPF 50 PA++++ Review

I have been neglecting sunscreen lately and as much as I want to protect my skin from the harsh rays of the sun, the extra step on skincare or make up feels like running around the track! Seriously, who can take the extreme humidity and heat?

Well, after driving around the Metro getting stuck in traffic with a car tint that isn't too dark, I did see a bit of redness around my skin the night when I removed my make up. Wake Up Call! I need to get back and touch my sunscreens again!

Thankful to AMW readers who requested for a product review of the Sunkiller sunscreen I got from BDJ Box Kawaii Box! Yes girls, believe it or not, I will look like an old hag without your product review requests! :D So lazy as I want to be, I stuck to the AMW product review rule and went on and apply the Sunkiller Super Lasting Base sunblock for almost a month consecutive (even when I only stay at home!) Now, I'm ready to share my thoughts!

But seriously, don't you think the packaging is cute and girly? I love how the name says "Sunkiller" but it looks so dainty and girly!

Pros

Packaging.
No scent.
Lightweight texture.
Gives a nice "glow" without the shimmer.
Works really well with make up.
Gives super light coverage even though this product isn't meant to be used as makeup.
For a sunblock with super high SPF, it doesn't give white cast.
Lightly tinted, so face won't look too white.
Price.
As for weeks of usage, my face does not get red from staying under the sun.

Cons

Very oily-skinned users may still need to blot out excess oil after 2-3 hours of application.
Consistency is a bit thick so be careful when you massage the product especially if you have dry skin as it may cause skin to flake.

Neutral

Tinted so it may not work as well on users with darker skin tone. (Put this on Neutral because most sunscreens are white in color! So this is considered not bad at all!)

Overall
A lightly tinted, high SPF sunscreen with UVA and UVB protection. It gives an overall "brightening" effect and skin looks more even. This Sunkiller Super Lasting Base is rightfully named as "Base" because it works really well with makeup! Make up looks better with this as a base.

Tips

Dry skinned users need to moisturize the skin prior to sunblock application.
If you are exposed under the song for prolong period of time, re-apply sunscreen (yes, even on top of make up).
Best applied using clean fingers.
Do not forget to apply the sides of your nose, ears and neck!
Let the sunblock settle into the skin before you go to your foundation routine.

Will I repurchase?
Yes!

To whom do I recommend this to?
Users with normal, oily and combination skin.

Where to purchase and how much?
Available at Watsons priced at Php495.00 (approx $12.00).

Packaging

Swatch

Once blended under natural light.

Though the shade is light, it blends into the skin giving it a bit of time to settle.

Application: I like to use downward strokes (same as the growth of your facial hair)

just like how I would with liquid/cream foundation.

Before and After

If you look closely, coverage is almost non-existent BUT, the Sunkiller Base can actually even out my skin by reducing a bit of redness around the sides of my nose and cheeks. I do not expect this product to have any concealing properties because it is a sunscreen anyway!

For coverage? Nothing a trustee concealer can't do!

Front View

With flash, it may have a bit of "brightening" effect on the left hand side of the photo facing you but never "white". The right side of my face facing you is my bare face!
