Biore UV Aqua Rich Light Up Essence Review

 

An SPF50 PA++++ seems like a bottle of disaster!  

That's what I thought when it comes to sunscreen in olden times, the higher the SPF, the whiter the skin and the uglier the white cast!  But coming from KAO Corporation and the brand name BIORE, I've got confidence that this product will be amazing because I have been using their other Biore sunscreen for years!

Biore UV Perfect Bright Milk SPF50+ PA++++ Review

This is the latest sun screen from the brand and they get better each time!  The product still contain alcohol based from ingredients but this is NON drying.  I guess the presence of Royal Jelly extract helps!

I was expecting the texture to be translucent or milky since the term "Aqua" is there but it looks close to the previous Milky product - but this time, it is a combination of milky texture with gel-like consistency.  Once applied on face and body, you get a layer of "white" which disappears after constantly massaging and you are left with hydrated skin minus greasiness, tackiness and white cast!  None of those are there and I like how it felt comfortable and quite "cool" on skin.  This felt more like a day time moisturizer than sunblock!

Is it effective?  Well, I haven't tested these under the sun like beach but I have used this on errands day under summer sun and so far, I am still using light foundation as of the moment!  Most of all, it works as a good make up base!  My skin felt hydrated and there were days I even cheated!  I only use this sans moisturizer - do not follow me but the lazy bum in me at times won!

Overall, this is another great sunblock to use especially for our weather.  Warm, humid, rainy, sunny JUST PLAIN WEIRD :P
