Vichy Capital Soleil UV Age Daily SPF50+ Facial Sunscreen – Review
I don’t know what I thought when I was purchasing the sunscreen. Did I believe that L’Oréal, out of nowhere, had started making ungreasy sunscreens? If so, then I am a naive fool. Because the masters of upcycling formulas have done it again, this sunscreen is technically the Anthelios Ultralight-Fluid with few skin-benefiting ingredients. The…

Canmake Mermaid Skin Gel UV SPF50+ – Review
It’s one of the most popular sunscreens among Asian Beauty enthusiasts, I believe. I saw this sunscreen for the first time many years ago, and it has always had positive reviews. I had been avoiding it for years, for an unknown reason, and I should’ve listened to my instinct because this sunscreen is average. It’s…

IOPE UV Shield Sun Stick SPF 50+ – Review
This sunscreen is terrific, I’ve enjoyed using it, but it doesn’t work for my skin type. This product offers very high protection of SPF 50+ and PA++++(4). The formula includes emollient ingredients as the base, as it’s a stick-type sunscreen and a mix of titanium dioxide with chemical UV filters. There is a bit of…

Bionike DEFENCE SUN NO-SHINE FLUID SPF 50+ – Review
Last month, one of my readers reached out to me asking about my experience with Bionike’s sunscreens. Honestly, I have little experience with Italian suncare. Before, I had tried two sunscreens from Rilastil, which I had thrown away after a few applications and never attempted to review them – dreadful experience. So when I was…

Solbari Dry Touch SPF50+ Face Sunscreen – Review
This sunscreen was my first Australian sunscreen, from an authentic Australian brand, not an American brand masquerading as Australian. Australia has strict sunscreen regulations, and, usually, Australian suncare offers high anti-UV protection. Unfortunately, this product was disappointing. I bought the product last autumn, without knowing what ingredients it contained, as they had not been listed…

Suncut UV Whitening Essence SPF 50+ – Review
2021 regarding sunscreens isn’t starting well; I hope it won’t be as bad as 2019. The formula includes derivatives of vitamin C (Ascorbic Acid 2-Glucoside) and glycyrrhetinic acid as brightening agents. There’s a mix of zinc oxide and chemical filters resulting in high anti-UV protection. The product contains alcohol, but no fragrance. Suitable for all…

La Roche-Posay PIGMENTCLAR UV SPF 30 – Review
This review is going to be quick because I am not in love with this sunscreen. Before I start my rant, here’s an overview of the formula. The product contains exclusively chemical filters including L’Oréal’s proprietary Mexoryls XL & SX. It offers pretty decent anti-UV protection of SPF 30 and PPD 15. I think these…

Sesderma REPASKIN Facial Dry Touch SPF 50 – Review
I don’t remember the last time a sunscreen made me so happy; this product is fantastic! The formula includes a mix of chemical filters and titanium dioxide resulting in optimal protection of SPF 50 and anti-UVA protection of at least a third of the UVB. We can also find here antioxidants that fight off free…

La Roche-Posay My Skin Track UV – Review
The launch of this product has created some buzz in the beauty community, it is the only product of this sort on the market. When I first read an article on this gadget, I thought it would be similar to the previously released My UV Patch, identical to any other UV wristband already available on…

Kanebo Global Skin Protector SPF 50+ – Review
Here’s a review of another lovely, Japanese sunscreen. This product is similar to many other sunscreens from Kanebo; it offers protection of SPF 50+ and PA++++(4), the highest level of UV protection found in Japanese sunscreens. The formula includes a mix of zinc oxide and chemical filters, there’s alcohol, but a large amount of hydrating…

Rohto Skin Aqua UV Super Moisture Milk Pink – Review
This sunscreen is a last year’s addition to the Skin Aqua lineup. It offers a similar UV protection to the standard Skin Aqua UV Super Moisture Milk except this one provides a skin brightening effect. This formula includes a mix of zinc oxide and chemical filters. We can also find two types of hyaluronic acid,…

Dior Diorsnow Ultimate UV Shield SPF 50+ – Review
Let me start by saying that this product isn’t sunscreen. Technically it is, and it is advertised as such, but I would say it’s more like a primer. There is no way anyone would apply a decent amount of this product for two reasons: its finish and price. The Dior Snow Ultimate UV Shield offers…

SkinCeuticals Advanced Brightening UV Defense SPF 50 – Review
In my last review of Skinceuticals’ serum, I said that I wasn’t planning to review more products from this brand this year, but I hadn’t had any idea they would release such an exciting product. This sunscreen contains a mix of titanium dioxide and chemical filters including L’Oréal’s proprietary Mexoryl XL. The formula also includes…
-
Garnier Ambre Solaire Super UV Face Fluid SPF50+ – Review
This product is from Garnier’s new releases for 2020, and now I understand why La Roche-Posay discontinued the Anthelios Ultra-Light last year (only in Europe). This sunscreen contains solely chemical filters, including L’Oréal’s patented Mexoryls XL & SX. Garnier are the cheapest brand if you want to use Mexoryls without spending too much for sunscreens…

Dr. Jart+ Every Sun Day Moisturizing Sun SPF 50+ – Review
It’s been a while since I’ve talked about this brand, so here’s another review of Dr. Jart +’s product. This sunscreen contains a mix of chemical filters which provides us with good anti-UV protection of SPF 50+ and PA++++ (4). The sunscreen contains a lot of skin-benefiting ingredients like adenosine, ceramide NP, and niacinamide, to…

Sensai Silky Bronze CELLULAR PROTECTIVE CREAM FOR FACE SPF 50 – Review
Sensai is Kanebo’s luxurious brand. Outside of Japan, it includes products from other brands of the company, as it is the case with this product, which isn’t available in Japan. I think it’s based on one of Kanebo’s old Allie UV sunscreens. This sunscreen includes micronised zinc oxide and a mix of chemical filters to…

Hada Labo Shirojyun Premium Whitening Jelly Essence & Whitening Jelly Sheet Mask – Review
These two products have the purpose of brightening the skin, and the main ingredient in both of them is tranexamic acid. (TXA) Tranexamic acid has been studied as a skincare ingredient for decades now. It has been proven to have anti-inflammatory properties, as it mitigates skin damage caused by UV rays. It helps with post-inflammatory…

SkinCeuticals Ultra Facial Defense SPF 50+ – Review
This product is like a bad romance; it’s alright to have a bit of it, but in large amounts, it brings trouble. The Ultra Facial Defense sunscreen has SPF 50+ and PPD rating of 26.4. It is a mixed sunscreen with titanium dioxide, L’Oreal’s Mexoryls XL & SX, and other chemical filters. It is very…

Vichy IDEAL SOLEIL Pocket Ultra Light SPF 50 – Review
I don’t know what is going on at L’Oréal’s laboratories, but it seems like nothing good. Here’s a review of another light sunscreen, this time by Vichy. The product contains exclusively chemical filters, as all L’Oréal sunscreens, it’s formulated with Mexoryls. It also has alcohol and fragrance, the latter in a tiny amount. European sunscreens…

Shiseido Anessa Perfect UV Skincare Milk – Review
This product is one of the most popular sunscreens in Japan, but a lot of people outside of it love this product as well. I had wanted to love it too, but it failed to win my heart. This sunscreen provides SPF 50+ and PA++++ (4), the highest possible ratings in Japan. It also includes…

CosRx Light Fit Real Water Toner To Cream – Review
When I first saw this product, it reminded me of the Bio-Essence Hydra Tri-Action Mask, which was quite popular a few years ago. Mainly it was because both products have an exciting dew-creating gimmick. Technically, when you apply either of the two products, water droplets are supposed to create on the surface of your skin,…
