Madagascar Centella Hyalu-Cica Water-Fit Sun Serum SPF50+ PA++++





glowandsunshine
I received this product for free from Picky and SKIN1004 in exchange for my honest review. A non-nano chemical sunscreen that blocks UV rays, while simultaneously hydrating the skin. The product comes in a practical 50ml tube and a small pump to disperse the amount evenly. I actually really like it a lot! It has an ulta lightweight and almost watery texture which makes spreading it so easy. Reapplication is no problem at all and it doesn't leave a whitecast on me at all. Also absorbs fast into my skin 💧 It is scentless, so no problems on this side either. No reactions on my sensitive and dry skin at all, it loves this sun serum and I can wholeheartedly recommend to try! I can see all skin types liking this one as it is not heavy at all for oily skin and doesn't dry out which would be problematic for drier skin types. I love this sun serum so much, it's my favourite Spf so far! Would definitely recommend and repurchase 🤍 Even my octopus plushie has laid claim to it ☀️ Update: I was very lucky and won this in the most recent Skin1004 giveaway and am absolutely still loving it 🫶🏼✨️

Air Fit UV Defense Sun Cream SPF 50+ PA++++

I received this product for free from Picky and Benton in exchange for my honest review. The sunscreen comes in a pretty mint-green 50ml tube. The box is made from 100% sugar cane paper and printed with soy ink ♡ The product itself is also mint-colored and has got a strong rosemary scent to it; it needs some getting used to but it was okay for me personally. It has a lightweight texture and goes on very smoothly. I didn't need to rub it in as hard as others I had used so far and reapplication is easy too! Didn't leave a whitecast and also wasn't sticky on my skin ✨️ Leaves a very glowy finish that I love on my dry skin! Might be too much for oily skin types Check out my reel I made for this sunscreen on IG if you want 🤭 https://www.instagram.com/reel/Cdake17onuA/?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y= Update: I am on my third tube <3

Cica Gel Sunscreen SPF50+ PA++++







glowandsunshine
HG alert ✨️ Introducing the Cica Gel Sunscreen Serum💙 This has made a good first impression and works so well for me! I wasn't expecting any less from Benton knowing I love their Air-Fit UV Defense Sun Cream. It also comes in a 50ml tube and the Sunny Bennies Sun Box has cute stickers which I put on my three sunscreens I have from Benton currently. The spf has a lightweight texture, similar to the Sun Serum from Skin1004, although this one is a little thicker and not as watery. I just love Benton and Skin1004 sunscreens! Almost no noticeable scent and a more natural, dewy finish than the glowy, dewy finish from the Air-Fit UV Defense. All in all a must-try in my personal opinion <3

UV Aqua Rich Watery Essence SPF 50+ PA ++++





glowandsunshine
This hydrating sunscreen infused with hyaluronic acid and royal jelly extract comes with SPF 50+ PA++++ UV protection. The waterproof formula absorbs quickly into skin and leaves zero white cast. Watery, lightweight texture that spreads and absorbs fast! Blending is super easy and the finish is a natural, slightly glowy one. Re-application is easy too! I have bought three tubes of this in Japan. The price there is very good compared to the internet. I could see all people of all skin tones being able to use this sunscreen.

UV Super Moisture Gel SPF50+ PA++++







glowandsunshine
I had been on the lookout for a sunscreen that's bigger than the usual 50ml and on my search I found this 110g one for a great price! If I remember correctly it was 9€ when I purchased it. This was my first Japanese sunscreen to try and I'm not disappointed. It has a watery lightweight texture that rubs in easily. Despite its white color it blends in immediately without leaving a whitecast. Reapplication is also no problem. There is a distinct alcohol scent to it but I've also had worse experiences with one or two other spfs It leaves a natural finish, leaning on matte which makes me think that it would suit oily and combo skin types well too. The clips are immediately after application so there's a slight dewy look still but that dries down to more matte on my face. It's also not the most hydrating/thick spf which makes it suitable for hot summer days The bottle is very practical despite its size and I can see myself repurchasing. My sister has also tried it and ordered herself 3 bottles

Sun Project Skin Relief Sun Cream SPF50+ PA++++







glowandsunshine
I have received this product for free from Picky and Thank You Farmer in exchange for my honest review. A plant-based, chemical sunscreen that offers Spf50+ sun protection, containing Centella Asiatica as an ingredient to soothe skin. Infused with patented 8-Relief Complex and Centella Asiatica to soothe and protect the skin. Non-Comedogenic and vegan formula. It's got a smooth cream texture that's easy to spread and leaves no whitecast on my fair skin tone. I have found it to be suitable for sensitive skin. Sinks in fast and the finish is not a glowy one. The product doesn't contain added fragrance, though the scent may vary because of its natural-derived ingredients. I could see all skin types liking this sunscreen, more so dry skin. The product paper package was made from recycled paper produced by sustainable forest management.

Hyaluronic Acid Watery Sun Gel SPF50+ PA++++






glowandsunshine
I received this product for free from Picky and Isntree in exchange for my honest review. This is a watery sun gel that contains eight types of hyaluronic acids in different molecular weights to replenish moisture💧 Also contains ceramide to strengthen skin barrier, and centella asiatica extract to soothe the skin. Another Spf in the typical 50ml tube ^^ I really like the small nozzle to get out the desired amout of product! The white texture blends well with my fair skin and spreads very well. It's more lightweight than the Sun Cream and I feel like this one protects me better from UV rays! Doesn't leave a whitecast on me and feels good, I can see why so many people like this one! This one, like the Isntree Sun Cream, has almost no scent to it at all which I love! Better this than a too powerful sunscreen or flowery scent. I can wholeheartedly recommend trying this, especially my fellow dry skin folks 💙

Enjoy Super Mild Sun Essence SPF50+ PA++++






glowandsunshine
This is the updated version of SCINIC’s Enjoy Super Mild Sun Essence, composed of chemical filters to provide SPF50+ PA++++ sun protection (I haven't tried the original version). It’s infused with panthenol, glacial water and seven plant-based extracts to soothe irritated skin 🤍 It comes in a typical 50ml tube. The lightweight essence texture leaves skin moisturized and I have found it to have no scent at all so it's suitable for sensitive skin and noses. Enriched with niacinamide, the organic formula leaves my skin looking natural and slightly dewy. Blends and absorbs fast as you can see in the video. I didn't experience any whitecast, nor pilling and hope that it'll stay that way! It's suitable for hotter weather and didn't make me sweat so far while also working well for reapplication. What I loved too was the great price of 6€ on Stylevana and even though I have just recently opened this one, I ordered another tube already 👍🏻

UV Super Moisture Milk SPF 50+ PA++++





glowandsunshine
I finally got my hands on this sunscreen at Lawson in Japan! I had heard a lot about it and have been wanting to try it for a long time, so I knew I had to when in Japan. It comes in a sleek 40ml bottle and cost me around 4-5€ at the time. The texture is very runny and milky. It sinks in quite fast and leaves a natural, slightly glowing finish that goes away though. I like that it doesn't have a strong scent, so that makes it suitable for sensitive skin and noses. I like using it on my body too! Sinks in even faster than on my face and doesn't leave a residue. I bought a second bottle to bring home.

Vegan Peptide Bakuchiol Sun Stick SPF50+ PA++++







glowandsunshine
On my search for a new sunstick after my fav Thank You Farmer one was finished, I read many good reviews and decided to purchase this one. Notable ingredients are bakuchiol, tocopherol and peptides. Without Ethylhexyl Methoxycinnamate, Benzophenone-3, Octocrylene, Benzophenone-1, Benzophenone-8 or 4-Methylbenzylidene Camphor that may harm reefs. The first thing I noticed was the scent. It smells a little sweet but not like flowers. I'd say there's a 50:50 chance to like or dislike this kind of smell. I find it tolerable but it goes away quickly which I prefer. I find the shape very handy and it works well in going over my whole face and neck. It applies soft and smoothly onto my skin and leaves a glowy, oily-looking finish. It oesn't move on my face though. The texture is balmy and the color looks lovely! I also love the packaging and how you need to twist to get the stick out The price is also okay, depending on where you buy. I got mine on Yesstyle Update: works very well in fall and winter for me, instead of summer when I started using it. It doesn't appear as greasy in cooler weather which made me give it 4 stars

Sun Project Silky Calming Sun Stick SPF50+ PA++++






glowandsunshine
I received this product for free from Picky and Thank You Farmer in exchange for my honest review. This is a non-greasy sun stick formulated with Centella Asiatica and Madecassoside which help soothe and protect irritated skin. I found this stick to be a good fit for my sensitive skin and thankfully didn't react to it. It glides onto my skin smoothly and has only got a subtle scent to it which I found almost non-existent. The texture might need a little getting used to because after application is feels kinda powdery and thus doesn't leave a greasy or dewy finish. What I liked best is that it doesn't smudge my blush and highlighter so far! They transfer to the stick a little but that was expected; the Benton Mineral Sun Stick is like that too so I wasn't surprised about that. (I like this one a little more than the Benton stick) All in all a decent product I can recommend to try, although I am not sure if all skin types might like this one because of the powdery feel and finish. I have no problems so far and will update again after using it some more
