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… Read More Kose Suncut Pro Defense Multi-Block Sunscreen UV Milk – 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… Read More Canmake Mermaid Skin Gel UV SPF50+ – 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… Read More Solbari Dry Touch SPF50+ Face Sunscreen – 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… Read More Suncut UV Whitening Essence SPF 50+ – 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… Read More La Roche-Posay PIGMENTCLAR UV SPF 30 – Review
This product is upsetting on so many levels, the best way to describe it would be: the price is steep, and the results are meagre. The main ingredient in the formula is fermented green tea extract; thanks to this ingredient we are supposed to see the betterment of ‘the look of elasticity, clarity and texture’… Read More Amorepacific Vintage Single Extract Essence — Review
I am not sure what to say about this product, there are a lot of claims, but not many results. My first issues arise with the ingredients of this serum. It is supposed to be spot and blemish (in my understanding hyperpigmentation) clearing, but there isn’t enough in the formula to deliver these effects. We… Read More CosRx AC Collection Blemish Spot Clearing Serum – 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… Read More Dior Diorsnow Ultimate UV Shield 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… Read More Dr. Jart+ Every Sun Day Moisturizing Sun SPF 50+ – Review
A few days ago, I was doing spring cleaning, and I found this stick. I bought this product last year, but I didn’t use much of it. This sunscreen contains a mix of chemical filters, one of them is L’Oreal’s Mexoryl XL, and micronised titanium dioxide. It has a fatty base featuring glycerine, castor seed… Read More La Roche-Posay Anthelios XL Sensitive Areas Stick SPF 50+ – Review
This is one of the most popular essences in Korea and abroad, and I’ve wanted to try it for a long time. Here’s a review of it. This essence is not based on ferments; the main ingredient here is lotus seed extract which is rich in vitamins from the B group, omega(-amino) fatty acids, and… Read More Primera Miracle Seed Essence – Review
The review is going to be short because the product is simply bad. The main three results that this product is supposed to deliver are firmer skin, fewer wrinkles, and youthful-looking eye area. I couldn’t notice any of these results, instead, it made my eye look like a raisin. During the three-week testing period of… Read More IOPE Bio Eye Cream Youth Complete – 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… Read More Vichy IDEAL SOLEIL Pocket Ultra Light SPF 50 – 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… Read More Shiseido Anessa Perfect UV Skincare Milk – Review
