Hi everyone! I hope you guys are safe and well. I’ve been away from this blog for so long but now since the new MCO I have the time to write some of the products that I tried over the year. In Sha Allah, I will try my best to upload more posts. One of the recent product that I tried is this sunscreen. If you want to know my opinion on this particular sunscreen keep reading ya. Thanks!

Ethylhexyl Methoxycinnamate / Octinoxate – UVB filter.

Ethylhexyl Triazone / Uvinul T 150 / Octyltriazone  - UVB filter.

Diethylamino Hydroxybenzoyl Hexyl Benzoate / Uvinul A Plus – UVA filter

Bis-Ethylhexyloxyphenol Methoxyphenyl Triazine / Tinosorb S – Broad Spectrum UVA & UVB filter.

This is a broad spectrum (UVA & UVB filters) chemical (aka organic) sunscreen, all filters are chemical sunscreens ingredients.

Opaque blue and white stripes squeezable tube with white screw cap. RM 35 for 50g (as of date).

The packaging is so cute and beautiful. The nozzle is quite big so be careful when you squeeze the products. Price wise, in my opinion is affordable.

It has strong alcohol and mint scent which not my favourite. Quite overwhelming for me. I think it is due to the high alcohol in it and Alcohol stated as the second ingredient in the ingredients list. The minty scent might come from Menthol in this sunscreen, so people with sensitive skin, I suggest to skip this sunscreen from your wish lists

I think this sunscreen would be okay if you can tolerate with alcohol and menthol. Iif you have oily or combination skin, you might like this one but if you have sensitivity towards alcohol and menthol better avoid this. I really don’t enjoy wearing this at all. It feels thick, I am bothered with the strong alcohol and menthol scent. The cooling sensation makes me feels like it will burn my skin even though it hasn’t. So the whole experience is a no-no for me.

I prefer the original Biore UV Aqua Rich (blue packaging) rather than this one since it doesn’t contain menthol. So if between the original Biore UV Aqua Rich and the Aqua Rich Cool, I would buy the original (blue) instead of this one, but still in my opinion the original is not that great for me but it is still better than this one.

If you use this make sure that you thoroughly removes it. I find it feels thick and I can feel the sunscreen layer on my skin. As they claimed it has high resistance to sweat and water, I believe you might need to use oil cleanser to remove it while using micellar water only may not be enough to remove it. Please make sure to remove it thoroughly especially if you are a Muslim since it has high resistance to water, so wuduk’ nanti tak sah ya.

Even though it feels thick on my skin so far it hasn’t piling with any moisturizers that I use with. The SPF and the PA rating is at exactly where I want my sunscreen to be and I love it doesn’t have any white cast on my skin. Too bad I don’t enjoy wearing it. You should find the sunscreen that you enjoy applying it so that you are looking forward to reapply throughout the day and keep wearing it every day.
