Sunkiller Perfect Water Essence SPF 50+ PA++++ Alcohol Free [Review]

10:00:00 AM,4 Comments



Hello! I have been trying a lot of sunscreen/sunblock lately. Since I have become aware the importance of using sunblock to help my skin to heal and repair, I have been actively searching for the right sunblock for my skin. Surely you will find more sunblock products review here in my blog. I have to admit, ever since I started to diligently apply sunblock to my skin, my skin able to heal better apart from other skin care routine that currently I have. Here in Malaysia, the awareness of using sunblock is really lacking. While you have done all the steps to have beautiful skin but it will go to waste if you don’t add sunblock steps in the routine to help secure your skin from UVA and UVB rays.

Sunkiller
Perfect Water Essence SPF 50 PA++++ (Alcohol Free)


I bought this sunblock at Watson which I believe less than RM 30, I don’t remember exactly how much it costs. One of the label that attract me to buy this sunblock is “Alcohol free”, so I grab it and just give it a go. I have been using half of the tubes already and here is my review.

Sorbitan Oleate – Bad for Oily Skin, Comedogenic Rating – 3.
Steraid Acid – Bad for Oily Skin, Comedogenic Rating – 3.

How to Use It:
Use it at the last step for skincare and before you start your makeup. Use two (2) fingers method to measure how much you need for each application.



Personal Review:
Paraben free, Sulfate free, Alcohol free, Silicone free, EU Allergen Free – yeayy! It contains 50g of the products. SPF 50 and PA++++ - super great! Very broad spectrum sunscreen (covers well in filtering UVA and UVB) and it has four (4) UV protections:
Diethylamino Hydroxybenzoyl Hexyl Benzoate – UV filter with high absorption in the UV-A range and oil-soluble UV filter.
Ethylhexyl Methoxycinnamate aka OCTINOXATE – Chemical sunscreen ingredients and UV-B filter that absorbs UV-B rays.
Bis-Ethylhexyloxyphenol Methoxyphenyl Triazine – aka Tinosorb S or Bemotrizinol that absorbs UV-A rays
Titanium Dioxide – is a physical sunscreen which usually give white cast on your skin.

In terms of packaging like I said previously, I like coloured skin care items, it surely looks good on your vanity. I like it in tube form, just squeeze the products out instead of dipping your fingers in the products – it is more sanitary for me. The hole for the products to be squeezed out is quite big so you have to be careful while squeezing it.

This sunscreen is moisturizing and I like it how it blends like moisturizer instead of like a typical sunblock feels. It has Citrus scent – very fresh scent which I love! The texture is watery and the colour is a bit yellowish. When I applied it, no white cast was visible but there are some stickiness after applying the product. It may be due to how moisturizing the products is that contributes the sticky textures.

It is all nice actually – the  ingredients is nice, and with its SPF and PA rating is good. However, I’m on the fence actually. It has all the good stuffs but, whenever I used this sunscreen, it accentuates my pores more and I have noticed that it can clogged my pores too sometimes. As I mentioned before, even though I have dry skin, but I also have dehydrated skin which my pores are easily clogged.

I found that each time after using this sunscreen I don’t think I have a nice make up day. My pores are more visible than usual, it looks shiny but there are no actually oils in my face and my pores are sticking out. It surely not a pleasing complexion for me. I hate when that is happening and it is a hard pass for me. Currently I’m only using it, if I am staying at home and can’t wait to finish this one and then, I can try other sunscreen! And no one else is going to see my pores. ;P


Overall opinion:
Do I like it?
Yeah and No.

Will I re-purchase it?
Yes

Do I recommend it?
Yes, because it has all good stuffs. Try it for yourself maybe it suits you.
