Review on COSRX Aloe Soothing Cream SPF50 by Anna Jackson

That. Amazing 🧴💜

I can't praise this sunscreen enough. Let's start with allergies - I'm allergic to most sunscreens - I know which ingredients are the culprits but it's very hard to find sunscreens that don't have them, and before that the only ones I've found. which I'm not allergic to, very heavy, uncomfortable to the touch, super non-waterproof and sweat resistant sunscreens. It's water-repellent, withstands long bike rides and doesn't trigger any allergic reactions in me at all! Second is the quality and duration of use. I went cycling with friends recently, and in short, what should have been a short 5-10 mile bike ride turned into an extremely long and slow 30 mile bike ride - painfully slow, I mean. My boyfriend and I applied our sunscreens at the same time and didn't take them with us to reapply (as we figured it would be a relatively short trip). We both had the same sun protection factor. My friend ended up riding in front and finished the ride almost 1.5 hours before me and the girl I started behind me, moving slowly (oh so slowly) and steadily. My friend ended up getting a CROSS PAINT from the sun - bloody red sunburn! I, too, was expecting to get sunburned - especially since my shoulders were exposed to the sun for the first time since last spring - but to my (very pleasant) surprise, I wasn't sunburned AT ALL. 5 hours in the sun, 6 hours after applying sunscreen, no reapplication, melanin-free skin, DURING a long bike ride on a sunny day with a temperature of 99°. NO SUN. I can't tell you how impressed I am with this thing - seriously!
