Review on ๐ŸŒž Biore Watery SPF50 155ml Limited Edition by Shawn Reiff

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Wonderful! Leaves a subtle beautiful white glow

It's decent and you get a lot for what you pay for which makes it a very good sunscreen for me! However, keep in mind that this is a combination sunscreen, unlike UV Aqua Rich Watery Essence which is a 100% chemical sunscreen so there will be a slight white tint that is around the same level or lower than for example Purito Comfy . A water based sunscreen except it's not as streaky which also makes it so much better in my opinion! to get fully absorbed, but unlike the Purito sunscreen I mentioned earlier, this cream is much easier to rub in, even when it dries up, because when I try to rub Purito in when I realize I've missed the strip , i want to get rid of it , even after it dries a bit it just rolls and peels off and if i try to apply more i have to rub it in again but that just ruins the layer around it and causes it. Turn around, which I didn't notice with this Biorรฉ. Overall, this cream is a lot less finicky and a lot easier to apply, and for a sunscreen newbie, it's invaluable! Faces (which I shouldn't be doing anyway) or moving my mouth or smiling or something, but that's pretty good for sunscreen and probably pretty unavoidable considering what it's doing to protect your skin. On first use I found it mattified my skin a little, leaving it somewhere between matte and silky, but once it sits there and does for a while, the typical hydrated, radiant look eventually returns. What's interesting though is that it feels more like a slightly runny emulsion than a true clear gel, which is what I was expecting. What. I don't understand what other people are saying as it smells like regular sunscreen to me. I personally am not one to fear alcohol denaturation and in fact I appreciate its presence! (Yes, alcohol denatures on its own, it will probably dry out your skin, but with a product designed to moisturize your skin that does its job well, it really doesn't matter! That's why you should always use a product try it, don't just look at the ingredients either!) If alcohol contributes to the beautiful texture, great spreadability and ease of use it offers, by all means please, Biore, never take it out! As for the white cast, people say it fades over time, but in my experience that's not the case. What happened to me was that I looked noticeably paler (for the record, I'm a medium-skinned Chinese/Vietnamese male), but what REALLY went away was the rather unsightly lavender-purple color that always seems to show on my skin. when applying mineral sunscreen which does NOT ALWAYS go away for me depending on what I apply. Believe me. I've already tried Corave's mineral sunscreen. .If you know, you know. For example, if you're prettier than me, you'll probably never notice the white cast, and even to me it just looks like I'm pale (naturally because my protected skin blends perfectly with my bare skin, not in pantomime makeup) and others may not notice I'm wearing anything, but speaking like someone who is very, VERY picky about white hues and thinks that's a big issue, albeit They're easy to spot, that's only a minor problem, especially if you're like me and your face is already paler than the rest of your body. In general? For what you pay I think this is a great well formulated product! Also, just based on how much you get (tip: a lot) for what you pay (less per ounce than I pay for most of my serums, which I've never seen in high-end, comfortable sunscreen). I would say it's worth it! (Seriously, sunscreen is usually SO expensive, even if it's white. What can you do about it?)

Pros
  • There's something to it
Cons
  • Too long to wait
