Summary of Bioré UV AQUA Rich Watery Gel SPF50+ PA ++++

Prolong exposure to UV (UVA/UVB) rays without protection can cause:

What is written on the package.

So what does the sunscreen reading SPF50+ PA ++++ really means?

SPF (Skin Protection Factor) Rating - determines duration of time your skin stays protected against UVB rays (cause damage to outer layer of skin) from the sun. 

The calculation goes this way:

• SPF Rating x (no. of minutes for skin to darken under sun) = No. of minutes skin is protected from UVB rays

PA Rating - shows how much protection you are receiving against UVA rays (cause damage to deeper layer of skin). The higher the of +, the greater the protection.

My Review
Like others, I previously do not like putting on sunscreen too. Reasons? Lazy lor....And also I don't like the heavy and greasy feeling after application, which sometimes cause blemish on my skin. 

But after knowing the important of sunscreen a few years back, I started putting sunscreen as part of my skincare regimen. 

But still till today, I have not found a sunscreen that makes me satisfied. So I am pretty curious the effect of this Biore UV AQUA Rich Watery Gel. :)

As usual, I will always put on sunscreen before my foundation every morning. But sometimes, the sunscreen can cause me some difficulties putting on my makeup as its too heavy, greasy and sticky. Especially the weather, makes it even worse.

So how does this Biore UV AQUA Rich Watery Gel score?

Product nicely wrap.

The UV Gel came in a blue bottle with a small cap opening.

The UV gel is not oily and sticky at all. It has a light fragrance smell. 


I must say, I am pretty impressed. After applying, my skin feels really cool and hydrated. It looks moisturized and brighten up too. I totally do not feel I already applied sunscreen already. 

The UV gel feels so light that I can easily apply my makeup on after that. A good makeup base indeed. The UV gel just feels so natural on my skin, no greasy or sticky feel. :) 

And what matter most is its able to protect my skin against the sun. I think I have found my sunscreen. No more excuses now. Will be sticking with it till I use another one better than this. :)
