Decorté Sun Shelter Multi Protection Very Water Resistant SPF 50+ – Review
It’s been a while, but I’ve been moving around Europe and haven’t got the time and energy to blog. I hope you all understand. I ordered this product before my voyages last August. However, I hadn’t planned on getting the Very Water Resistant version, the shop must have mixed it up with my favourite Decorté…

Aupres Extra Protection Sunscreen Lotion SPF 50+ – Review
Aupres are a brand by Shiseido China, and their lineup consists of copies of the original Shiseido products, which are made and sold locally in China. This product is based on the famous Anessa Milk, and Weibo users say that the Aupres Lotion has inherited the same technologies from Anessa. It’s unsurprising because the Shiseido…

Biore Athlizm Protect Essence & Stick SPF 50+ – Review
The Athlizm sunscreens aren’t new—the line was launched five years ago—but this is my first time trying them. This Athlizm range has been designed for extreme conditions such as 40℃ and 75% humidity; it’s Biore’s most tech-loaded line. The sunscreens are equipped with the Tough Boost and the Outer Skin technologies, which help create a protective layer resistant to sweat, water, and friction. The Essence contains a mix of…

Kao Nivea Super Water Essence EX SPF 50+ – Review
This new release by Nivea Japan stands out from older formulas. I stopped using Kao’s sunscreens about five years ago when they became sticky and gloopy. It was the same issue across all brands, like the gluey Watery Gel. But, since then, Kao have learnt a lot and improved their sunscreens. Again, we are starting to…

OMI Brotherhood Sun Bears Active Protect Cool SPF 50+ –Review
When I first tried this sunscreen last year, I didn’t think that I would like it. But, as the heatwave came, and I did anything to stay cool, this menthol-enriched fluid came in handy. I regretted not buying more after finishing the bottle, so I had to repurchase it this year. The formula includes mineral…

Scinic Enjoy All Round Airy Sun Stick SPF 50+ – Review
I know I have been quiet for a while. The past year or so has been hectic for me. The previous December, I unexpectedly had to move, and then last summer, I caught COVID, which left me with a lasting feeling of lethargy. And once I stop doing something regularly, it’s hard for me to…

Anessa Perfect UV Sunscreen Skincare Milk N – Review
I was not too fond of the last version of the Anessa Milk, but this year’s reformulation shows considerable improvements compared to its predecessor. Unfortunately, even though I enjoy using this Anessa Milk, it doesn’t fulfil my testing criteria. This product is not merely a sunscreen but, as the name indicates, a skincare product. Besides…

My Top 3 Sunscreens: Updated
This piece is undoubtedly the most requested by many of you, as you want to know my favourite sunscreens. And I get it. It’s been four years since I published My Top 3 Sunscreens, and a lot can change in four years. Honestly, I like all of the sunscreens or, for that matter, products that I…

Hada Labo Tokyo Light Hydrator Sun Face Cream SPF 50 – Review
Last summer, I believe it was in August, the Hada Labo Tokyo range was extended to suncare products, and shortly after, they disappeared with the end of summer. I assumed the line had been cancelled, so I didn’t post my review last year. However, the sunscreens are back now, so here are my thoughts on…

Shiseido Anessa Whitening UV Sunscreen Gel SPF 50+ – Review
This Anessa sunscreen is the only one that was not upgraded in 2022, which is great because I bought it last year and forgot about it. After weeks of testing, I am ready to share my thoughts. The sunscreen contains exclusively chemical filters. There is also a considerable amount of moisture-retaining agents like glycerine. The…

Foto Ultra 100 ISDIN Spot Prevent Fusion Fluid SPF 50+ – Review
I’d intended to review this sunscreen much sooner, but I simply couldn’t do it, as it’s impossible to wear the sunscreen in warm weather – it doesn’t resist sweat or friction at all. But, as they say, better late than never. The formula includes a mix of titanium dioxide and chemical filters, giving us the…

Hada Labo Tokyo Premium Express Glow & Anti-Stress Jelly Sheet Mask – Review
I will start by saying that there is a difference between the Hada Labo Tokyo brand in Europe and the Americas. In the Americas, the products are made in the USA. They include Rohto’s R&D, but they aren’t the same deal. In Europe, we get either very close copies of Japanese products, differences derive from…

Shiseido Aqua Label White Care Lotion – Review
Last year, I began to skip cleansing my face in the morning and use toner instead. It seems to work for my skin, so I continue doing that. After finishing the Future Solution LX Concentrated Balancing Softener, I moved on to the Aqua Label White Care Lotion. The toner includes tranexamic acid as its main…

Kokuryudo Privacy UV Face Powder SPF 50 – Review
When it comes to sunscreens, we all know that sometimes they tend to be shiny. It happens either because of their oily base or the sebum production, which increases in hot weather, and it’s when my face powders become helpful. I usually use regular non-SPF powders, but I thought I would use a specific powder…

Shiseido Ultimune Defense Refresh Mist – Review
This summer hasn’t been too blazing in Italy so far. Unfortunately, though, the hottest days are yet to arrive, which supposedly will happen this weekend. When it’s boiling outside, I struggle to function, so I always look for different ways to stay cool and fresh, like drinking ice-cold water or spending as much time as…

Shiseido Clear Suncare Stick SPF 50+ – Review
I like sunscreens, but I can’t stand the feeling of oily substances on my palms. I need to wash my hands after reapplying sunscreen, and it’s not always possible, especially in summer, when I reapply sunscreen more often than in any other season. For me sunscreen sticks are, without a doubt, essential. This formula includes…

Transino Whitening Jelly Lotion – Review
This Jelly is one of the last few active products that I will review this year. If you follow me on Instagram, then you may know that I was prescribed a hydroquinone cream in June, so this is the ultimate product that I had managed to squeeze in for trialing before I had to start the treatment.…

Heliocare Ultra D Capsules – Review
I don’t usually review dietary supplements because I don’t think it’s my place to recommend to people things that can significantly impact their health. However, for this particular product, I will make an exception. The Heliocare supplements are not basic multi-vitamin pills whose contents you will only pee out; they offer scientifically proven results. A…

Kao Nivea Men UV Protector SPF50+ – Review
I don’t usually write about skincare marketed for men. I know there are some histological differences between male and female skin. Still, at the end of the day, the division in the skincare industry is about marketing strategies and nothing else. This product is no exception; it will suit everyone. The formula combines zinc oxide…

Kose Suncut Pro Defense Multi-Block Sunscreen UV Milk – Review
When I first read about the release of this product on ratzillacosme.com (the encyclopaedia of the Japanese beauty industry) earlier this year, I couldn’t wait to try it. However, it has turned out to be incredibly disappointing. The sunscreen combines zinc oxide and chemical filters, offering us high protection of SPF 50+ and PA++++ (4). The unique…

Eucerin Actinic Control MD SPF 100 – Review
This product has been such a pleasant surprise. It offers very high UV protection with a presentable finish. This sunscreen contains a mix of chemical filters and titanium dioxide, giving us the protection of SPF 100 and PPD 58 (information obtained from Eucerin). Why do they put SPF 100 on the label even though the…
