product review positives
ALLIE EXTRA UV PROTECTOR GEL N Happy #NationalSunscreenDay! I came with another Japanese sunscreen review!! This one is highly-raved in the Japanese beauty community as well with the Japanese consumers. šŸŒTHE BRANDšŸŒ Allie is under the brand Kanebo, Kanebo is under the Kao Corporation which also own Biore and many other renown brands. Allie focus on producing high-quality sunscreens, their mission is to transform ā€œhaving to wear sunscreenā€ to ā€œwanting to wear sunscreenā€. šŸŒ€PACKAGINGšŸŒ€ It is sleek and soft. It has sturdy and cool looking cap. I love how pretty this sunscreen looks. Itā€™s quite portable and small sized for a 90g product. šŸSCENTšŸ This has a very sunscreen smell! It will definitely remind you of the beach because of its smell. No, it doesnā€™t smell like coconuts, itā€™s fragrance and essential oil free. šŸ¤TEXTUREšŸ¤ Soft creamy texture. Spread really well and blends into the skin easily. However, it is slightly brightening due to zinc oxide. I have medium skin tone and I noticed my skin looked slightly brighter (itā€™s not exactly a white cast). It has a dewy finish where it is NOT GREASY. Like how did they do this? šŸ’µPRICEšŸ’µ I bought it for $29 on Japanesetasteā€™s website. It was the best price with the best shipping fee IMO (at least to my country, not US). šŸ”†PROSšŸ”† It has a very glowy finish. My skin looks pretty when I have it on. It looks like I have makeup or a filter on because my skin is so bright and slightly blurred. It is dewy but not oily/greasy or uncomfortable to wear. It dries down semi-matte. Itā€™s almost skin-like. Thereā€™s no white cast (at least for me), on my skin I would just call it a brightened effect. They also claim itā€™s friction proof, so like it will stay very firmly on your skin throughout the day, which I can say it lived up to it! I found the percentage of its sunscreen filters! 11.53% Zinc Oxide and 7.2% Ethylhexyl Methoxycinnamate
product review negatives
šŸ”…CONSšŸ”… Ok so many know I hate dewy/glowy sunscreens. This really won me over with its glowy look while having a neutral finish. HOWEVER, sounds weird but you can definitely over-apply this. It will feel slightly emollient and thick on your skin . If you apply too much in one go it looks like a white mess on your skin. So little by little. Also if you apply too much at once it will not really dry down, so again, apply little by little. It also works better with skincare under because without it it feels tacky and sticky (just feels like it will never dry down). This is not a feather-light sunscreen so I recommend wearing a light moisturizer underneath it because otherwise it will look too shiny and feel little heavy. REPURCHASE?šŸ˜¶ Iā€™ve bought 2 tubes of this at the first order so I wonā€™t buy more any soon. I need like 2 months to empty this but using along with my Biore sunscreen it takes a little longer than that. ā—ļøI really think this is more like a winter sunscreen. I donā€™t know how this will work in hot humid weather since itā€™s still kinda cool where I live. I donā€™t recommend it to oily skin. This would feel heavy for them. This never aggravated my acne. I also recommend it to sensitive skin since itā€™s very mild, but keep in mind this has alcohol in it. It would perform best on dry and combination skin.ā—ļø
