most korean sunscreens iโve tried are way too greasy/heavy for my oily skin & the humid tropical weather here, but @b_lab_global came through with their new SPF and my faith in k-sunscreens is slowly restoring. ๐คฉ hereโs why.
โ๏ธ๐ง๐๐ซ๐ง๐จ๐ฅ๐: light milky gel.
โ๏ธ๐ฆ๐๐๐ก๐ง: typical sunscreen smell with a bit of alcohol scent, goes away sometime after application.
โ๏ธ๐๐๐ก๐๐ฆ๐: natural dewy, semi-matte finish. not oily/shiny.
IโM IN LOVE with this baby! it ticks almost all i ever wanted from a sunscreen - no white cast, spreads easily, absorbs crazy fast, semi-matte finish, non-sticky, and most importantly it keeps the shine off my oily skin throughout the day! thereโs a cooling, tingly sensation after initial application which doesnโt bother me, but it might sting a little on compromised area. it gives a slight sheen at first but when dried down, it just leaves a natural healthy glow on the skin which feels hydrating but not oily or greasy at all!
i didnโt experience any pilling but it also depends on the products you layer underneath. itโs lightweight too which make reapplication a breeze. iโm not sure how it will do under makeup as i donโt wear any.
๐ฐ๐ช๐๐๐ ๐ ๐ฃ๐จ๐ฅ๐๐๐๐ฆ๐? heck yes! priced as low as $6.90 for 50ml, it is super value for money! not only affordable, it works so beautifully on my skin too. their SPF rating has also been verified so we can all have a peace of mind. if youโre still on the fence, please just try it out! ๐ฅบ iโd recommend for all skin types except those who are sensitive with alcohol.
contains alcohol denat (4th on inci list) which we all know may dry out the skin and even damage skin barrier for some. not the most ideal for very sensitive skin, though personally i never had any bad reaction towards alcohol in skincare. with that in mind, itโs up to you to decide if itโs something you would like or avoid.
it is also not sweat-proof which is a bummer, but it doesnโt sting my eyes when i sweat!
