Review : Biore UV Aqua Rich Watery Essence SPF 50+/PA++++

10:18:00 AM

Hey guysss :D!

Summer is coming fast and that might means summer holiday to the beach might be in your agenda? I naturally love rains (i guess i'm a sentimental person) but even i am getting sick of all this wetness. Sso yea, i actually am welcoming  the sun with open arms! 

But what comes with the warmth (or scorch, if you live in hot city like Surabaya :)) is the much dreaded UV rays - i am hoping that all of you are good kids and wear sunscreens everyday already tho??? 
I admit that it took me quite a while to get used to incorporate wearing sunscreen in my skincare routine, i struggled quite a bit because i had some pretty unpleasant experiences with sunscreens in the past. The sunscreens that i used to use were very very sticky, greasy and it makes me feel super hot and uncomfortable within minutes. This made me think that sunscreens are all like that, but behold my friend - i have found a sunscreen that's super comfortable and super lightweight that it almost feels like water : Biore UV Aqua Rich! 

Before i continue with the sunscreen review, let me explain a few things that you need to know about sunscreens in general and why we need to use them everyday. Do you notice that every sunscreen would have different numbers like SPF 10, SPF 30, SPF 50, etc? SPF means Sun Protection Factor and it refers to its ability to shield from the sun's ultraviolet (UV) rays. The number is the theoretical amount of time you can stay under the sun without getting sunburned. SPF indicates the level of protection against UV B.

What about PA+++? PA means Protection Grade of UV A and PA+++ is the best level of protection (there are also PA+ and PA++ which are, ofc, the lower levels of protections) out of the three. So ofc ideally your sunscreen should have both SPF and PA to protect you from both UV A (that can cause premature aging and wrinkling) and UVB (which can lead to development of skin cancer) which are both damaging and dangerous to your health if you let yourself be exposed to them without protections, both are covered in the highest level available with Biore UV.

While those of you who does more outdoor activities (this includes riding a motorbike and or waiting for public transportations okay!) obviously needs sunscreens more, all of us should definitely make it a habit to apply sunscreen everyday, even if we never leave our homes as you can still be exposed to UV rays through the windows and even from electronic screens.

Now let's move on to the review!
Biore UV Aqua Rich Watery Essence SPF 50+/PA++++. It actually only comes in one size (50gr) and retailing for IDR 115,800 but the product i received was the sample size so don't be confused if you are looking for this product and see that the packaging looks a bit different
It claims to have high durability as it is formulated with water capsule so it won't be easily removed when you sweat of gets in contact with water since it is waterproof (it's been tested for water resistance and can withstand water up to 80 minutes) but it can also easily be cleansed with regular facial/body wash - though as someone who is very concerned about cleansing my skin, i would still suggest you to double cleanse using makeup remover/cleansing oil/cleansing milk/micellar water before using your usual facial cleanser.
How to use? Very simple, you simply apply it on clean face/body (yes, it can be used both on your face and body, perfect for traveling because this means you don't have to lug two different sunscreens on your travels!). Don't forget to reapply if you sweat, after swimming or toweling yourself. And ofc, please don't expose yourself excessively and unnecessarily to the sun even after using sunscreens.
Ingredient List
I love the packaging's metallic blue color, so pleasing to the eyes! Very lightweight and travel friendly too
It's made in Japan and all of the information on the body of the sunscreen is in Japanese but don't worry, the ones you can purchase will have translation in stickers, just make sure you purchase them in authorized sellers like Sociolla, Kao official store in Tokopedia (you can also find their official stores at Jd.id , blibli.com etc) or nearest drugstores like Watsons or Guardian 
Biore UV Aqua Rich has a slightly yellowy shade, it is very very light and has a light gel-like texture, it spreads on your skin like a dream and gets absorbed pretty much instantly into your skin with cooling, watery feeling - leaving your skin immediately feels silky and smooth. No greasiness nor stickiness whatsoever, i was in awe the first time i used it and i couldn't stop feeling my smooth skin :D!

As it leaves the skin feeling super smooth and soft, this sunscreen is also ideal to use under makeup. I personally have been using (and loving) this product nonstop since receiving it. With this under my makeup, i don't have to worry about my makeup breaking up or caking as it does not have the annoying characteristic that some screen have which i hate - instead i feel like it helps my makeup to apply better and stay intact longer!

I also love the fact that it is not only a sunscreen but also have skincare benefits as it contains beauty essences like hyaluronic acid, royal jelly extract and citrus mix to keep your skin well moisturized - so i guess this i not only a sunscreen review but serves as a skincare review too :D?

My skin has been reacting positively to Biore UV as well, it does not break out or giving any signs of negative effects whatsoever - so i am confident that i have found "the one"!

Is this sunscreen a product that i would purchase with my own money? Oh yeah, ofc it is! As soon as i run out of sunscreen, this is the product that i would definitely want to buy! And i am confident enough to recommend this to all of you (please do note that we all have different skin and what works well for me might not work as good on you) as we all need sunscreens in our lives. Let's put it like this, if you ever come up to me and ask for sunscreen recommendation, i will not hesitate to name Biore UV Aqua Rich, that's how much i love it!

Frolicking under the sun needs not be avoided anymore, as long as you do it moderately and protect yourselves!
