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 […]

Allie Gel UV EX SPF 50+ – Review
This year’s revamp of the Allie range is focused on sustainability. The bases of the sunscreens are the same, but the UV filters have been swapped for elements that are safer for sea life. What’s more, the products now come in more eco-friendly packaging – plastic mixed with paper, which in reality is more problematic […]

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 […]

La Roche-Posay Anthelios UVMUNE 400 Invisible Fluid SPF 50+ – Review
Another year, another Anthelios’ reformulation… This sunscreen’s vehicle is similar to previous formulas – only chemical filters, alcohol, glycerine, silica, etc. There are also the same L’Oréal’s film-binding techs. The only difference is a new, proprietary UV filter, the Mexoryl 400. The patent for the old Mexoryl XL has expired, so L’Oréal have decided to […]

Kose Softymo Speedy Cleansing Liquid – Review
This product is intended for people with acne-prone skin. It’s a good alternative for those who can’t or don’t want to use conventional cleansing oils. The ingredients list is modest, there are emulsifiers, moisturising agents, solvents, and preservatives. No fragrance or dyes; the product smells like glycerine mixed with ethanol. It doesn’t cause any dryness […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]
-
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 […]
-
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 […]
