Kao's beauty collection focuses on a range of hair and face care products including the brand's Biore, Liese and Essential series. But as for myself personally, for now, I just create articles that I would like to read myself (in-depth, ingredient focused, personal). I’m looking forward to getting my hands on the upgraded formula of these sunscreens once I finish all the other sunscreens I have. The interesting thing about this is that before it got fully spread out, it looked like it had little powdery bits. In this post, I will be sharing a side by side comparison of 2 popular sunscreens by the Japanese skincare brand Biore.The water capsule formulation gives a non-sticky and non-greasy formula absorbs quickly, leaving your skin feeling hydrated and comfortable. This product has a strong alcohol smell (which I didn’t mind) and also, a white cast but it quickly disappeared. This limited edition Botanical Peony variation shares the same amazing formula as the original Biore UV Aqua Rich Watery Essence.

A space for Indians to discuss their varied experiences with beauty, with a strong emphasis on science. I have read so many reviews about this Biorè sunscreen and people always end with “Oh but I moved on from it cause I found a better sunscreen”.Just put this sunscreen on my face, you only need a little bit poured on your finger to dab around your face, it's light weight, not sticky at all and it sunk it as soon as I applied it. When you first squeeze the products out you can see that the watery essence has a semi-translucent pale green-yellow gel appearance, and has a consistency that is similar to a gel in that it is light and able to hold its form, yet it is also thin like an essence.

However I will still share the product description and ingredients that I do find, but you can also feel free to skip down towards the ‘My Thoughts’ section to get straight to my personal review of this product.This updated version employs the world’s first *Micro Defense formula which prevents uneven coating. This is the 2023 reformulation of Biore UV Aqua Rich Watery Essence sunscreen, with a bigger size from 50g to 70g. Make sure to apply sunscreen well on areas of the face that are most exposed to the sun such as under the eyes, around the cheekbones, the bridge of the nose and the forehead.

Other than that, I haven’t experienced any skin irritation or breakouts from this sunscreen which is remarkable as it does contain alcohol and artificial fragrance – something my skin often reacts badly to. My arms became red and itchy after a while and my face felt a bit warm and looked pinkish in some areas. All sunscreen that leaves white cast on the skin can move out of the way, as Biore UV Aqua Rich Watery Essence SPF is here!The new and improved 2019 edition Biore UV Aqua Rich Watery Gel SPF 50+ PA++++ gives you longer lasting UV protection with its new waterproof and sweat-proof formula.
